Mckinley Banners and Buttons Galore.

St. Louis, June 9.-In anticipation of the arrival today of anti-McKinley lead CTS the lieutenants of the Ohio candidate were busily engaged last night in dis tributing throughout the down town dis trict Autographs, banners and buttons bearing splendid portraits of Mckinley Up to the present Mckinley has had things pretty much his own way in St. Louis, but the arrival of Manly of Maine, Clarkson of Iowa, Teller of Colorado, Fifer of Illinois and numerous other prominent leaders is expected to make a division in the almost universal display of pictures of Mckinley.
 E. H. Dess Albert Lathrop and D. A. Webster of the South Carolina delegation got in this morning. Lathrop says South Carolina is for Mckinley and Evans on a platform which declares for protection and honest money.

These tables still leave Maryland and Minnesota unaccounted for The Mary land convention meets June 10, the Min nesota convention June 16. The chances favor the selection of sound money dele gations, but the silver people have been conducting their already famous still hunts in both states, and the sound mon- ey democratic leaders in each state pri- vately confess that the result is in doubt Here are thirty-four delegates yet to be accounted for-sixteen in Maryland and eighteen in Minnesota. If they go for silver the silver forces at Chicago will have 611 delegates, one less than the two thirds majority necessary to nominate a candidate.
 It will be noticed in the above tables that Ohio shows total of 34 votes for free silver, chosen and to be chosen. This is greater free silver strength than has been hitherto credited but it is known to be correct. The state of Washington was formerly put down as five for silver and three for gold. The state convention passed free silver resolution, but it was known that three of the delegates, headed by Hugh c. Wallace the national com mitteeman, would be for gold. It Is now understood that knowledge of the over whelming free silver majority which will control at Chicago has led two of the sound money men to fall in line with their state platform. Nebraska, with a contesting delegation, has been placed in the silver column on the strength of Sec retary Morton's sta tement that the sound money delegation does not stand ghost of a show of being seated.
 The free silver leaders claim, moreover, that there will be breaks in the ranks of the eastern sound money delegations for the free silver candidates, just as in the republican party there will be breaks in the nti-McKinley ranks in favor of the Ohio statesmaT.
 How the Fight Has Been Made.
 It may be of interest at this time to say something of the organization and meth- ods by which the democratic party has been whipped from It's sound money moorings on to the free silver uuicksands. The following statement. prepared by one of the principals thereto, gives graphic history of the movement:
 "The present organization of the silver democracy was started in Washington in August, 1895 by a convention in which about thirty states had delegations of

 Washington, June 6.--The democratic free silver managers now claim with great confidence that they will be able to muster at Chicago clear two-thirds majority for free silver thus doing away with any necessity for the change of the time-honored two-third rule for the nom- ination of the residential candidates.
 It is understood that the territories and the District of Columbua will each be al- lowed six delegates in the convention, thus making it's total membership SIS, of whom 460 will be a majority and SIP a two-thirds majority. Here are the fig- ures which they have prepared.
