TOPEKA, Kan, June 2S.-Ex-U United
States Senator John Martin left for Chi
cago today to attend the Democratic
national convention.
II want to be on the ground early"
said he, before starting. $50 as to do all
can for the cause Of silver. It is going
to be the great convention-probably the
greatest and most important in the his
tory of the union. The people are going
to win this time. It Is in the cards. The
platform will be for silver and the ratio
will be 16 to 1. The opposition will make
a hard fight. but 1t will be useless. The
silver men have their minds made UP
and will stand like rock. The public
sentiment behind these men is SO strong
that they would not dare to return to
their respective homes with the guilt Of
a compromise on their souls.''
Senator Martin says that the gold
standard leaders will work for plat
form which will be all things to all men.
Such slop-water platform as Hill
wrote for the New York Democracy
would please them WELL" he said. Fail
ing in their scheme to force the adoption
Of a wishy-washy platform, they will
vote to secure the nomination Of the
weakest candidate in the field for the
presidency. They likely would throw
their support to Matthews Of Indiana.
They would rather do this than walk
out. knowing that the former plan would
be more to the interest of the Republi-
can gold standard ticket than the lat
ter.
II don't look for bolt; however, II
we refuse to be governed by the two
thirds rule, it may give the gold men a
pretext to walk out. am willing that
the gold men should go If they can't line
up for silver. That would draw the
line more sharply. But don't believe
that there will be the slightest pretext
for bolt. think that we will have
more than two-thirds Of the conven-
tion and there will be no question about
the two-thirds rule"
Senator Martin expressed himself as
delighted with the situation in Kansas.
"The few gold gentlemen who did
business with us a few minutes only in
the late convention in Topeka are grad
ually drawing near to the band wagon"

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 28.-Hon.
John c. Tarsney, ex-congressman from
this city, and recently appointed United
States Judge at Oklahoma. is In the city
on q short visit. From here he goes to
Chicago to attend the Democratic con-
vention. When asked what he thought
the Democratic convention would do on
the silver question and who he Thought
would be nominated. Judge Tarsney re-
piled without hesitation: 1.-THE silver
men will have majority and will doubt
less nominate the candidate. Beyond
that It IL impossible to say what will be
done There never was a national con-
vention which is so hard to forecast.
No one can tell what may transpire for
there are delegates coming together from
so many parts Of the country, each deter
mined to carry out instructions on the
money question given by their various
states. One section Of the country will
be opposed to the other and there will
be many delegates who will have no COM
promise to offer.
AFTER all," Judge Tarsney said slow
ly, III it should carry the country and be
embodied into law, this folly will not
last more than a year or two. I shall
rely on the patriotism of the legislative
branch Of the government to prevent
the disturbance or our currency laws
and, while voting for free silver nomi-
nee, will use every effort to prevent the
enactment Of 16 to free silver meas
ure."
do you think the party, in declaring
for free silver in this way. becomes what
might be termed another party or a new
party In any respect?"
mot at ALL This Is simply question
OF legislative detail. The cardinal prin-
ciples Of Democracy are urged and the
party remains intact. Neither free sill
yer nor the single gold standard can ever
be called a principle Of the Democratic
party. am Democrat and would not
sacrifice the principles Of the party
merely because some legislative detail
which It may endorse is in opposition to
my opinion. If the anti-free silver Dem
ocrats would bolt, wherewould they go?
I could never vote with the Republican
party with principles I am irrecon-
cilably opposed and will always be a
Democrat while the party sticks to its
principles. By party principles I un-
derstand problems that embody theories
Of government, and not mere matters
Of policy in legislation"

SILVER DEMOCRATS
A Conference to Consider the Prospects Of
Union

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Harris left today for Chicago to be pres
ent at the silver conference beginning
on Tuesday next, under the auspices Of
the Democratic bimetallic organization.
He is the chairman Of this organization
and has been since 1t was instituted in
this city g year ago.
Speaking of the purpose of the con-
ference, Senator Harris said it had been
called in order to afford the silver Demo-
Gratis an opportunity to compare views
and look the situation over preparatory
to the national convention, and that it
would continue, probably daily, until the
beginning Of the convention. He also
said the meeting would not be confined
to the members of the bimetallic organ
ization, but there would be representa-
tives from every state delegation friend
ly to silver. Further than this the SEN
ator declined to commit himself as to the
purpose of the meeting, but it is learned
from an authoritative source that the
silver Democrats regard this confer
ence as a very important affair. The or
ganization under whose auspices the
meeting is called has been laboring in
season and out for the promotion of the
silver cause within the Democratic
ranks. They have had their headquar-
ters at Senator Harris house, and from
that quarter have conducted the corre-
spondence to the chosen representatives
In all parts Of the country. to whom
have been entrusted the organization
of the silver forces. not only in every
state, but in every county in every state
IN the Union, where 1t was considered
possible to effect the lodgment of the
silver idea. The movement grew out of
the meeting held at the Metropolitan
hotel In this city last summer, in which
the plans were prepared. and an execu-
tive committee consisting Of one mem
Der from each state was appointed. The
work has been quietly but very thor
oughly performed.
The purpose of the anti-convention
meeting Is to so solidify the silver or
ganization as to render it thoroughly
effective In the execution of the plans
of the silver leaders in the convention
and to also prevent the encroachment
OF the gold forces. It had been their
purpose to discuss the platform to be
adopted, and also to consider the ad-
disability Of candidates. There has been
