aoLDITEs' TALK OF BOLT.

New York.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Evening Post says il
reference to the report that the free silver
men will control the Chicago convention
that the accuracy of this statement is NOT
conceded by the president. s'But," the
dispatch goes on to say, "one thing is
certain; should the convention declare fol
free silver, there will be wholesale

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.
Washington.-There is no doubt that
the New York Democrats and with them
their party friends in New Jersey and
Connecticut feel very much encouraged
at the prospect of the party in those
states. The municipal elections 10 New
Jersey, Tuesday last, we're very suggestive.
The Democrats captured most OF the
principal cities, charging votes sufficient
ly from the last two elections to render
the state safely Democratic.
Ali we'll informed New York politicians
say that the Democratic chances are far
superior to the Republican chances of
carrying New York state in the fall. The
Raines bill has created a revolution In
political sentiment, and the people seem
to be desirons of getting an opportunity
to drive the Republicans from power.
The New Jersey elections are looked
upon as kind of reflex of public opinion
in New York, Jersey being largely iu-
fluenced by New York opinion.
The political mathematicians worked
on the result of the Jersey elections and
they figured out that if there we're gen.
eral election in the state the Democrats
would have won by 5000. There Is no
doubt, according to all reports, that there
is strong Democratic revival through.
out the east.
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS,
Springfield, Ill.-The Democratic state
central committee will meet in Chicago
Monday to fix the time and place for
holding the state convention and to ap-
portion the delegates thereto. This is
not all that will be done. There will be
hot fight between the gold and silver
men. The silver men, who are apparent
ly in large majority on the committee,
propose to make demonstration that
will brace up the waveriDg ones.
Chairman Hinrichseu, who will proba-
bly, be nominated for congres in the 10Th
district, will see to it that the free silver
shouters are there. Mr.. Hinrichsen, hear
ing that the national administration pro-
poses packing the meeting with goldbugs,
has sent out letters to hundreds of free
coinage Democrats in which he says:
II have information that the national
administration will have crowd at head
quarters that day to yell for gold stand
ard, in order to give out the impression
that the silver sentiment is dying in Illi-
nois. We want to counteract this, and
hope you will be on hand with any other
silver men from your county who can
come, in order that we may make a prop
er display Of our strength. The silver
men will control the state and national
convention, unless we allow ourselves to
be howled out. Bring your silver friends
and come"
