When the National Silver Convention
meets tomorrow it will present solid
front for Bryan and SewaIl. There is no
discord. no dissensions, no entanglements.
The Silver party is a unit for Endorsement.
There is really no reason why the conven-
ton should be held at all. Bryan and
Sewall are the favorites of the silverites,
and their Endorsement by the convention
is merely a formality. Apart from this,
the convention will recite the old story of
16 to 1 and reiigiously ignore all the other
great questions now absorbing the thought
of the American people. The convention
will make strong appeal for harmony.
By its united attitudeit it hopes to influence
the Populists, and its conference commit
tee will make hard fight to bring about
a recommen dation by the joint committee.
Temporary Chairman Newlands is pre-
pairing his speech tonight. 1t will not be
lengthy one. but will deal tersely with
the duties Of the convention as Mr. New
lands iRserprets 1T. Mr.. Newiands will
tell the convention that the surest way
for the triumph of the silver cause is to
accept the nominees of the Chicago con-
vention. Permanent Chairman ST. John
will deliver an elaborate speech. 1t will
review the history of our financial systems,
and will be such a speech that the
National Committee will have it printed
and generally distributed over the country.
The Caiifornla and Nevada delegates are
taking an active part in the affairs of the
convention. They are working diligently
to sidetrack the anti-Bryan faction.
George w. Baker and Charles D. Lane are
especially conspicuous in the silver ranks
and are making an aggressive fight for
silver. At the headquarters open house
is kept and when middIe-of-the-road
Populist wanders In he comes out minus
the little white ribbon which distinguished
him from other delegates. The Califor-
mans always make good impression at
National gatherings in the East. The del
egation has supply of California wines
always on tap, and every body is made
welcome. Discussing the situation here
to-day, Mr.. Lane gave out this statement:
There is not enough money in this
country. Silver is as much money as
gold is, not only made so by the constitu-
tion of our fathers, but is so intrinslcally.
By the most diabolical legislative act in
the history of free people and through
most damnable and selfish conspiracy the
legislators of the country cut off half the
supply of our currency. In doing this it
doubled the purchasing power of the
favored metal, and in the same ratio de-
creased the prices of all commodities. The
consequence was a general depression,
produced by the scarcity of the purchas-
ing power. This thing has gone on until
the people can stand it no longer. They
have got to have relief. Talk about revolu-
ton! OF course there is revolution going
on and no human force can stop it. The

tariff is not to be discussed. That is q

When historians talk about taxation
without represen tation being the cause of
the American revolution, they mistake
the fact. 1t was the lack of money with
which to pay taxes that made the
colonists rebel against England. If Eng
land had provided them with sufficient
currency we would to-day be the subjects
of Queen Vic. Then it was British
bayonets; now it is British gold, if any
thing, more unsparing and ruthless in it's
exactIons. No, 1 don't own a cent
in a silver mine. All my interests
are in gold, but that does not blind me to
the wants and needs of my less fortunate
countrymen. We are going to indorse
Bryan and Sewall, and no power on earth
can defeat them. Mckinley hasn't got
all the money in the country at his COM
mand. The people have some funds left
yet. They are willing to do the right
thing, and we must see to it that in their
poverty they are kept free from the
temptations of the plutocrats."
Senator John P. Jones of Nevada. who
is among the late arrivals in the conven-
for Bryan and SewaIl. He says that the
Populists are unreasonable and that they
should support the Democratic ticket
without any hesitation. Like the other
silver men the Senator is an enthusiast.
The Chicago convention, he said, adopted
platform that should satisfy all the Pop
ulists and all others who are in favor of
the reconciliation of silver. The road to
success Is to support the Democratic NOM
inee.
81 can see no other way. If we can get
together now we will achieve the greatest
victory that was ever achieved in the his
tory of American politics. If we cannot
show these conditions to the men who
don't want to indorse Bryan 1 cannot see
any other course but to go on ourselves
and indorse Bryan. Mr.. Bryan sided with
the Populists in the State of Nebraska,
and all the Populists of that State, l un-
derstand, are enthusiastic for him,
1 would suggest that the BlmetaI-
lie convention pass resolution
indorsing Bryan. This may have a great
influence with the Populist Convention.
If we are going 10 do anything we must
do it quick. We must argue with each
man and show him that we can achieve
greater results by unifying the forces. If
each man shall make himself an agent
and do everything he can to help the great
cause along, we cannot help but succeed.
The quicker we act i'll unifying the forces
now at our elbows the better. We will be
sure then of not only indorsing Mr.. Bryan
but will surely elect him this falI.''

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 21.)
The "Siamese Twin" conventions which
will meet here tomorrow in different
halls, put at the same hour, will have as
the ligature that binds them together in a
settled purpose only the free-silver plank
of the Chicago platform. There is no at
tempt to disguise the truth that on all
other issues the two conventions will be
hopelessly divided. ii
"The National Silver party" whose call
was issued January 4, 1895, stated that the
paramount issue it had to consider was
"the gold standard, gold bonds and bank
currency on the one side and the bimetal-
tic standard, no bonds and Governm mt
currency on the other"
On this platform representation of
1918 votes was proposed for the National
Silver Convention" This representation
was apportioned with a basis OF one for
each Senator and Representative in Con-
gress, and then additional delegates added
in accordance with the silver votes of the
several States as recorded by the Bimetal-
lie Union. Not more than 800 of these
straight silver delegates are recorded as
present in the city, and scarcely more
than that number are likely to be present
when DR.. ]. ]. Mott of North Carolina
calls the convention of silver men to order
tomorrow.
Tue representation of the Peoples
party" or, as it is generally termed, the
"Popnlist" party of the United States,
was esta blished on a ratio which should
have yielded 1858 delegates and 676 alter
nates-a total OF 2O34 Chairman Tau
beneck, who is not the least sang uine of
the executive officers of the Peoples party,
does not venture to anticipate a larger
attendance than 1000 delegates and alter
mates tomorrow.
The National Silver party is to meet in
what is known as the Music Hall. It's
course will be all plain sailing. 1t has
only one purpose in view-the indorse-
ment of free coinage of silver 1t will
listen with more or less attention to long.
scholarly addresses from Francis G. New
lands of Nevada, the Silverite Congress
man, lis chosen temporary president, and
from William P. ST. John of New
York, ex-banker, who will be its perma-
nent president. This body will in all
probability follow its programme, which
is to indorse the Chicago nominees on the
silver plank, issue an address to the
people and either adjourn IN short order
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-22

or prolong its session by speeches until its
more turbulent neigh Dor has concluded its
proceedings.
The Peoples party will assemble in the
same hall which recently echoed with the
name OF Mckinley as the Republican NOM
inee. As to what its course of procedure
will be, the claims of the two factions are
tonight quite as divergent as they have
ever BEEN. The presence of Senator Jones
of Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic
National Executive Committee, and his
freauent interviews with prominent Popu-
listic delegates. has naturally given rise
to rumors that q deal" was on which
would secure the Endorsement of Bryan
and Sewall by the convention and such a
recognition of the Peoples party as would
induce them to sink for the time being
their own identity.
Against this theory Mr.. Taubeneck,
chairman of the Peoples party. interposes
the strongest kind of disclaimer, assert
ing with vehemence that the Populists
intend to nominate candidates of their
own upon platform of their own.
There has been all day strong talk of
nominating a Southern Populist for the
second place on the ticket, even if Bryan
should secure sufficient strength to be in
dorsed for first place. But shrewd man.
ipulators who are managing matters say
that "the tail goes with the hide" and
that if they carry Bryan through (of which
they have no doubt) Sewan will follow.
The middle-of-the-road men, on the
other hand, are claiming to have carried
everything before them. They held q
rooafinn to-ninht frro ~
States as with them in determination
not to indorse the Chicago ticket. But
their opponents assert that they counted
all the recalcitrant Bryan men as repre-
senting their States, whereas the full del
egation, if polled, would have been ad-
verse to them.
Both sides seem at loss to estimate
the significance of the selection of Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina by the
National Committee as the temporary
chairman of the convention. He has been
claimed by each faction and appears not
to have committed himself irrevocably to
either. This may possibly explain his
unanimous selection as the temporary
presiding officer of the convention.
That it will be a picturesque and curl
ously interesting gathering is already as
sured. Among those to be present are
General Weaver of Iowa and MIR. Strearor
of Illinois, both former candidates for the
Presidency on the Populist ticket, and
General Fields of Virginia, candidate four
years ago for the Vice Presidency.
Eugene V. Debs of railroad strike and
injunction fame tel"graphs from Indian
apolis that he will endeavor to be present
tomorrow. His lieutenant, Burns, who
shared his imprisonment, is one of the
contesting delegates from Illinois. Mrs.
Helen Goutner. Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease,
"Gen ral' Jacob S. Coxey and Carl Browne
are among the other possibilities who will
intermix with the grizzled wheat farmers
of the West, the cotton planters of the
South and the enthusiastic new converts
from the East and Middle States who will
go to make up the convention.

FOR INDEPENDENT ACTION
Out Flat Footed Against Fusion

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 21.-The Reform
Press Association. composed of editors of

Massachusetts, Frank Burkett of Missis-
sippi, NJ. w. Wilkins of California and Ig-
natius Donnelly of Minnesota, reported an
address which was tiat-footed for inde-
pendent action by the Populist conven-
ton. 1t denounced fusion or coalition
with either of the old parties, and declared
emphatically against the Endorsement of
Mr.. Bryan.
The reading of the address was followed
by stormy scene. 1t was put through
with rush, however, and the Kansas
members of the association walked out of
the room in emphasis of their disap-
proval.

embroidered and golden tasseled banners,
no flags bearing the portraits of candidates
of the different factions for the two highest
offices in the gift of the people, not any
of the paraphernalia of the ordinary rolit-

worn on the coat forms the stage setting
for these two ever-to-be memorable gather

high and ferociously and the waving of
hats and the shaking of clenched fists are
