twin" conventions, which will meet
here tomorrow in different halls, but
at the same hour, will have as the liga-
ture that binds them together in a
settled purpose only the free silver
plank of the Chicago platform. There
is no attempt to disguise the truth that
on all other issues the two conventions
will be hopelessly divided.
''rhe national silver party" whose
call issued Jan. a. 1896, stated that the
paramount issue it had to consider was
the sold standard. gold bonds and
bank currency on the one side and the
binetallic standard, no bonds and gov
ernment currency on the other"
ON this platform a representation of
1913 votes was proposed for the ma
tiOnal silver convention" but not more
than 100 of these straight silver dele
gates are recorded as present in the
city, and scarcely more than that mum
ber is likely to be present when Or

ator Marion Rutler of North Carolina
by the national committee as the tenn
porary chairman of the convention. He
has been claimed by each faction and
appears not to have committed him
self irrevocably to either. This may
perhaps explain his unanimous selec-
ton as the temporary presiding officer
of the convention. That it will be a
picturesque and curiously interesting
gathering is already assured. Among
those to be present are General Weaver,
of Iowa, and MIR. Streator, Of Illinois,
both former candidates for the presi-
dency on the Populist ticket and Gener-
al Fields, of Virginia. candidate four
wears ago for the vice presidency.
