considerable discussion among the
delegates and other party leaders who
have arrived as to the probable course
that will DO pursued on the financial
question, and It Is becoming evident
this question will receive more atten'
ton than my other In the committee
on resolutions and from delegates gen
orally. The possibility Of a bolt by
the free silver delegates In case OF In
corporation Of plank in the platform
which they will construe as unfrendly
to silver Is discussed freely In the hotel
lobbes, and by none more SO than by
the silver men themselves, OF whom
there are already several in the city.
There has been no general conference
among them, however, and will not be
until the arrival OF Senator Teller,
Lebois, Cannon and others, who are
not expected until the latter part OF
this week or the first OF next.
It Is gathered from those who are al.
ready here that the disposition TO bolt
the convention is confined to but very
few. One OF the most prominent OF
the silver delegates said last night that
the men from the west 'eit they hao
been elected by republican constitu.
ents to meet IN convention 70 secure
all they could for silver, but that theN
were not authorized 10 Doll II 'hey
found themselves In minority ana
that the more they conferred the more
general was the opinion they should
stand by the republican organization
Among the representatives. from the
west the name OF Col NJ. II. DC YOUNG
member OF the national committee
from California, ana a strong advocate
OF free silver, is already beng urged
in connection with the nomination for
the vice presidency. When Mr. De.
Young was asked for an expression OF
his views as to the course OF the SILVER
men, he said; Tine delegates from the
silver states are very determined in
their desire to advance the interests OF
silver' Ihey want tne rieh' 10 nave
che free coinage OF silver ut sixteen 10

and talk about leaving the convention
In case their views are not adopted.
