Vaughn for Nebraska. W. D. Bynum, S.
c. Piclzins and John P. Frenzel are COM
ing from Indiana.
The conference at this time is due large
ly to the urgent solicitations of Mr.. By
mum that it be held as early as possible.
1t was said the local people were holding
back a little on account of the absence
of Franklin MacVeagh. but there seems
to be no foundation for any such suspi-
cion
The conference is the result of the
work that mas been going on since
the Illinois committee issued its address
to the honest money Democrats calling
upon them to take action. When that ad-
dress was issued the local leaders had an
understanding with the chief represen-
tatives of other States. Because of the
fact that the sound money men in this
State were 50 weN organized then they
agreed the demand for another conven-
ton should come from Illinois. 1t was
Pennsylvania and the New England
States would join in the movement Mer
from the West and South said they could
push the thing through without any he'll
from the East, but since that time Chair.
man Ewing has received assurances from
Ex-Governor Thomas NJ. Waller of Con
necticut and John De Witt Warner Of
New York saying that II a Sound Money
Democratic Convention is held and g
Sound Money Democratic candidate fol
President is nominated, he will get tbs
support of the honest money Democrat:
IN these States.
Apathy on the part of the leaders in the
Eastern States towards the scheme is due
chiefly to the fact that the regular party
garhzations there have not been cap
rured as yet by the silverites. For thai
reason they seem to be more interested
IN local issues than the national cam
paign.
10 Presidential electors for Bryan and
SewaiI have as yet been chosen in New
York The sole aim of the Western ans
Southern gold advocates is to defeat tn
Chicago nominees. They think that OBJ
jcct can be best accomplished by tn
nomination OF another ticket. This it il
urged would enable Mckinley 10 carr.
some Of the Southern States and every
thing east of the Rocky Mountains.
There appears to be little doubt tina
tomorrow nights caucus will issue cal
for THE convention to be held in Cnicag
towards the latter part of August. Tn
Indiana. Kentucky, Missouri and Nebras
ka people are fully as anxious for it a
the Illinois men.
