Gold Standard Leaders Decide to Op-
pose the Chicago Ticket.
Fifty of the most prominent Of the sound
money democrats of st. Louis held an in
formal conference Wednesday night and
decided not to support the Chicago plat

not democratic convention, and in no
sense represented intelligent democrats and
democratic principles.

States minister to Switzerland, presided,
and after explaining the objects Of the con-
ference, invited discussion.

Anticipated That There VIII b
Trouble in the Convention.

Advices received at Denver, Col, by the
popuNst leaders indicate that there will be
many difficulties to overcome in the popu-
list convention before the Endorsement of
Mr.. Bryan for President can be secured.
The main difficulty. it appears, will be
found in securing the cooperation of the
southern popullsts in this movement
though many of the northern members of
the party are also raising objections.
There Is especial apprehension as to the
course of Senator Butler of North Carolina
and ex-Representatlve Watson of Georgia,
who, with others of the southern popuiist
leaders, will, it is feared, hold out stittiy
for the adoption of straight populist
platform and the nomination of another
candidate than Mr.. Bryan.

Us the present silver dollar is only
