81. LOUIS, June l0.-Among the
Republicans Of the West the name OF
Col. NJ. IL. DeYouug, member OF the
national committee rom California
and o stroug advocate Of Tree silver, Ia
already being urged In connection
with tho nomination for the vice
presidency. When Mr.. do Young
was asked for an expression Of his
views ~ 10 the c0ufso of the silver
men, ho said;
"rhe delegates from the silver states
are very determined In their desire to
advance tho Interests OF silver. They
want the right % hsve the Tree coin
agc Of silver nj 10 to l.. Some Of
them arc very radical ana talk about
leaving the convention In case tbeir
viows arc not Adopted. This action
will not be general. II IN generally
known that Colorado, under tho Lead
ershln OF Teller, proposes to walk out u
tue convention. Tao California dole.
Cation has been instructed 10 vote Tor
Mckinley, ana this convention adopted
resolution In iAvor OF tho Tree
collage OF silver. But our deic-
CATION does not Intent 10 leave
the party or convention In
case ola failure Of that nature. The
silver men, especially VI Colorado,
Montana and Otner states, think that a
Teller should be- nominated by the
Democratic party In Chicago there
would bo no question OF bis endorse
ment by the two conventions that
meet In ~. Louis on July 22nd. That
Ia the silver party convention and tue
Populial convention. In fact, It In an
understanding already made and
agreed that both conventions will In
dofse the domination OF Teller. II
Teller is nominated by these three
parties, my private Opiuion Is that 10
viii com very near bsing elected.
"lnrfe IL oue serious question,
| though, 10 the whole OF this pfopoe..
ton. VIII the Democratic party take

Tue general IMPRESSION among the
leading Democrats Il that they will
not do II. think " Teller leaves the
convention Montana and Idaho will

| There may be one OF tho delegates
that will. Nevada is just as aDxlsus

their delegates propose 10 do, they car
DO depended upon TO do everything

the interests OF oliver"
"what will DO the probable progrs m
In the national convention OF the silver
meI?" was asked, TO which Mr.. De
Young replied: "rhe members Of
the platform committee will oiier an
Unlimited silver coinage plank, aud n
rejected by that committee, when the
| COMMITTEES make their report TO the
convention Senator Teller viii bs the
QUE that will probably offer IN tue open
convention u substitute for the plank
reported by the committed In the shape
OF One favOring the unlimited coinage
OF silver. They then will insist ON dis.
cuasiug the substitute resolution on
the floor OF tbs conventiou. They will
