A FREE-SILvER MAN TALKS OF A BOLT.
ALLEGED COMPACT OF SIX STATES FOR UNITED
ACTION AT ST. LOUIS.
Indianapolis April 16.-S A. Paradice. member OF
the Republican State Committee Of Utah, Is at the
Grand Hotel in this city. In conversation last
evening Mr.. Paradice announced that a compact had
been formed among the Republican leaders OF six
silver States to bolt at the St. Louis Convention In
case the freesver does not receive full recog-
milton In the platform, and support the nominees
which, II Is presumed. will be placed before the
country by the convention OF the Bimetalic League
which meets at st. Louis later.
The refusal Of the st. Louis Convention to con-
cede he demand for free coinage" said Mr. Para
dice. will mean the formation Of free-sver party
that will sweep the West. The Republicans Of
Utah, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and
Nevada are good Republicans but are In earnest
about this We have agreed to send our delegates
to ST. Louis There they will fight for silver and II
they are turned down those same delegates will at
tend the Bmetallic Convention and participate In
its proceedings, and we shall support Its nominees
We have great hopes that both Oregon and Cali
forna Will join the compact but IL Is not yet settled
that they will. The six States mention will have
twenty-five votes In the Electoral College and II IA
not impossible that they should hold the balance Of
power in that body. In that case there would be
some pretty strong pledges to silver before Pres
dent could be elected.
But these six States are not the only ones that
will back the demand for silver. II we should be
forced to put bmetallic ticket in the field then
look out for every State west OF the Mississippi |
know something about the feeling among the rank
and file of the people and believe 1t would carry
every transmississppi State with the possible ex-
ception Of Iowa There would be question about
Kansas Missouri, Arkansas and Texas"
