THE TWO-THiRDS RULE.

Speculation as to How 1t Will Work in the
Democratic National Convention.
CHICAGO, June 29.-More than three
generations ago the two-thirds rule
was established in a democratic
national convention. 1t has pre-
vailed and been in force ever since.
It means that the support of two-thirds
of all the delegates is required to NOM
mate candidates for president and vice
president.
organize the convention, change the
rules, adopt platform and do every
thing except nominate the candidates,
it is conceded the silver forces can
wipe out the two-thirds rule if they
act and vote together. On the basis Of
9O6 delegates. and taking for granted
the unit rule will be observed in votes
on all questions, the silverites will
have a clear ma ority of not less than
$50. This is on the returns by states
and territories, which give 57s silver
delegates, against 32s gold or sound
money men. If the additional "a dele.
gates from the territories are seated,
they can safely be counted with the
silver majority, thus increasing it to
274.
It is asserted, however, that friends
of some of the silver candidates, not
ably those of Mr.. Bland, will unite
with the gold men against dropping
the rule. BANDS friends argue that
he has strong lead and that the aboli-
ton of the twO-thirds rule would
weaken his chances

The Treasury Secretary Reiterates HIS
Declaration About Free Coinage.
WASHINGTON, June 81. - Secretary
Carlisle reiterated yesterday to a cor
respondent the predictions which he
made in his Chicago speech of disaster
to follow the adoption of free coinage
in this country without international
agreement. Creditors will not wait
for the actual passage of a free coin
age law" he says, ''but as soon
as such a measure receives the ap-
prevail of the people they will de-
nand their money, and if not paid.
will enforce collection by judicial pro-
ceedings and sale of property. Payment
of all obligations held abroad will
be demanded in gold at once and every
Investment of foreign capital in this
country will be withdrawn" Assist
ant Secretary Curtis said: THE
adoption of free coinage would have
an immediate disastrous effect All
gold coin would certainly be boarded,
contracting largely the volume of the
circulating medium At the same time
currency not redeemable in gold would
rapidly depreciate in value. Interest
rates for the use of money would rise
very high and the usual cure for this
condition. the sending of money from
abroad. would be prevented by doubt
as to the value of money in which such
loans would be repaid
