New York. June 1.-THE Journals
correspondent at Washington contrib
utes startling and exclusive bit of
news this morning that may make free
silver advocates shift uneasily. Tt is
generally known that New York bank
ers are desperate at the steadily rising
tide of white metal sentiment But il is
declared by the writer in question that
they have expressed themselves ready
to expend S20.000O00 at Chicago to kill
silver. The letter i'm full follows:
Washington D. al. June 9.-The real
political problem Of the hour is the attt-
tude the Democrats of the four great
states OF New York, Pennsylvania.
New Jersey and Delaware, are going to
assume after the Chicago convention
has declared for free silver
Senator German of Maryland must
also be added to the coterie that viii i'm

tors Hill Cray and Smith. Al c0nNersa-
tton with one of the leaders tonight
elected the important Information that
a gold standard Democratic ticket is
not beyond the range of possibility.
If a silver platform be decided on be-
fore the 9TH of July, none of the leaders
will enter the Chicago convention. They
are disinclined to be known as boilers,
but are irrevOcably committed to the
gold standard and feel the utmost dis
inclination to be bound by a free silver
platform. They regard the rising tide
of silver sentiment with quite as much
constellation as do the Mckinley Re
pubhcans.
AT this moment no one of these men
has decided in his own mind what he
viii do in the face of the inevitable re-
suit at Chicago. Senator German. with
the great commercial metropolis of
Maryland behind him. can take only
one course Senators Hill and Smith are
equally committed. New York has not
spoken in convention yet, but not the
slightest doubt exists as to what her
voice viii be. A great reVulsiOn Of Dem
ocratic feeling is expected between now
and the Sd of November when many
eastern Democrats expect to see some
of the nOfsiest agitatOrs for the white
metal on the stool of repentance.
A New York Democrat said at the
Arlington hotel last night. THE west
ern and southern men of our party are
certainly out of their minds. They
never have felt the weight of the
commercial interests of the east array
ed against Ihern- The GrreenbacA1ers
and Populists. Silverites and Changers
