Chicago, July 6.-Judge Powers, OF
Utah, is among the delegates VINO re-
ceived letters from bankers firm In tnls
citv in regard to the effect that free
silver declaration would have upon the
business interests Of the country. In TINS
letter"it is stated that $4S1, 900 have been
invested through the firm in Titan. Re-
ferring to the circular, Judge Powers salo:
: eff this company and the clients OF
that concern do not care to play in our
back yard, they need not. 1t they 40 not no,
want to invest in Utah some one else Will.
Their clients will receive whatever Is que
them for Utah will pay dollar for dollar
as. nominated in the bond. If these bank-
ers think they can intimidate us and pre-
vent us from carrying out the will OF our
constituents by covert threats then say
to them that we were not brought up IN
the mountains to be sclared by OWLS. IL
they intend to help create a financial panic
in order to drive people to support the
gold standard have only to say to them
that in pulling out the pillars of the finan-
c;aI temple they will bring the edlhce upon
their own heads as well as ours and we
can stand it as well as they. think the
bankers had better let us run polltlcs our
own way and devote their attention 10
buiness. Perhaps there would be fewer
failures
A morning paper states that a sub-com-
mittee of five Of the Bimetallic League will
recommend Senator Daniel, OF Virginia,
to the full national committee at ITS SEES
sion today as the most desirable man Tor
the silver men to support for temporary
Chairman of the convention. This was
decided at caucus in the Sherman House
at o'clock this morning after Stephen
White, of California, had declined to be
the candidate.
Allan w. Thurman, of Ohio, says the del
cation from that state will present the
~ Tnbr 1T fha head nf
the ticket. There has been good deal OF
talk within the last two or three days
that Mr. Mclean would accept the vice
presidential nomination.. His friends in-'
dignantly deny this and declare it is the
presidency or nothing Their idea seems
to contemplate a deadlock between Boies
and Bland, in which contingency they
hope to land Mclean.
A morning paper says it Is a little late
to make the announcement but it is now
evident that Vice-President A. %. Steven
son. of Bloomington, is a candidate for the
ing to have his claims considered by the
Democratic national convention that will
convene here tomorrow noon =
Mr.. Stevenson has informed some of his
trusty workers that he is willing to accept
the nomination and is willing to stand on
thing else that will fetch the nomination
to his door. Yesterday morning Ex-Con-
gresham Neeley wired Mr.. Stevenson at
BLOOMINGTON asking him the date of the
great silver conference that met in Spring
field in August, 1878, and asking If he
(Stevensom did not then and there favor
the free coinage Of silver, or words to that
effect The answer Of the distinguished
Bloomington man is given as follows: ~ ~

winning converts in the Illinois delega-
