Hinrichsen Asked for a Confer
ence With Gold Men Last
Year.
Replies Were Short and Curt,
and Now the Tables Are
Turned.
Free Silver Ticket From Top
to Bottom Will Be
Nominated.

CHICAGO, July 1.-If the prognosti-
cations of W H. Hinrichsen, delegate
at-large and chairman of the Illinois
state central committee, are correct, the
gold standard delegates to the national
Democratic convention, will be given
no quarter
'sThe silver men are going to run the
convention" said Mr.. Hinrichsen.
s'They will control both the temporary
and permanent organizations, and will
nominate a free silver ticket from
top to bottom, and adopt a free
silver, 16 to l, platform. The
wishes of the gold men will
not be considered. The states they
represent will not vote the ticket, and
so they will be ignored. Last year,
when the Democrats of Illinois held
convention and declared for free silver,
I wrote to Mr. Whitney and other gold
men, asking for a conference between
the gold and silver men of the party.
The replies were short and curt. They
could not think of consulting with so
insignificant crowd as the free silver
wing represented Things have changed
now. We have two-thirds of the dele
gates. We will not confer with the
gold men because we have nothing to
confer about. The great Democratic
party wants free silver ticket and
platform, and we will give it to them. "

Ex-Governor BOies Answers the whitney
Declaration.
WATERLOO, Ia, July 1.-Ex- Gov
ernor Boies has made public this letter
replying to a message from New York
paper concerning the Whitney declara-
tion:
''Mr. Whitney is entirely right in his
conclusion that there is no disposition
on the part of those who will represent
the silver sentiment of the South and
West in the Chicago convention to fur
ther discuss The matter az issue with
men whose views are Numerically op-
posite to their own on the currency
question.
HE is entirely correct in his conclu.
sion that it is now too late to accom-
plish any practical results by discus
sion of that character. Throughout the
South and West that
Discussion Has Been Extended
and the views expressed by Mr.. Whit
ney have been put forward by many
people who entertain them, and they
have been fully considered and weighed,
and after all of this, the Judgment of
an overwhelming majority of the party
in these sections is evidenced by the
class of delegates who have been chosen
to represent it at the Chicago conven-
tion.
''It is useless to claim that tender of
the good offices of the party to secure
an international agreement for the free
coinage of silver is the fulfllment of its
pledges so often made. If this is all
Mr.. Whitney and those who think with
him can offer, it will be vastly better to
offer nothing.'

CHICAGO, July 1.-Controller Eckels

took up quarters at the Palmer House,
being the first prominent opponent of
the silver idea who will attempt to in
fiuence the approaching Democratic
convention to reach the city. Mr..
Eckels says that he does not consider
the gold cause as lost by any means for
the reason that he cannot believe that
the delegates will refuse to listen to
reason. He thinks the Southern dele
gates do not yet fully realize the magnl-
tude of the position they are about to

ness, of the country, if they persist III
declaration for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. This, he is of opin-

try that they will hesitate and suffi-
cient number of them change their

SILVER MEN HARD AT WORK.
Meetings Will Be Held Daily Until After
the Chicago Convention.

Meetings Will Be Held Daily Until After
the Chicago Convention.
CHICAGO, July 1.-The leaders OF
the Democratic silver forces in the vari-
Gus states are beginning to gather pre-
paratory to their meeting, which will
be held under the auspices of the BIZ
metallic Democratic national commit
tee. The meeting is not to be OF as gem
eral character as has been supposed.
It will be composed in a large measure
of representative of the bimetalllc COM
mittee, which was organized in Wash
ington astyAugust, and there will also
be present other leading silver Demo-
Gratis to whom invitations have been
especially extended. Commencing at
once meetings will probably be held
daily until the beginning of the con-
vention and possibly while the conven-
ton continues, if there appears to be
occasion for them.
To Watch the Cause of Silver.
The general purpose of the meetings
is to exercise supervisory care over
the interests of the silver cause in the
Democratic convention. The confer
ence was first decided upon two months
ago, when the silver people were not sc
sure of being able to control the conven-
ton as they now are, and when they
considered it possible that it would be
necessary in the protection of their in
terests to keep an eye upon the proceed
ings of the national Democratic COM
mittee. It was considered important at
that time
That the Silver People
should have such a perfect understand
ing that there would be no doubtful
moves made in the convention or else
where. Now they profess to feel SO
sure of their ground that they do not
longer feel the necessity for such eau
ton. Among the matters to which
they do propose to give their attention
are the contests for seats in the conven-
ton made by silver men and the selec-
tion of a temporary chairman OF the
convention, and, possibly, later, to the
preparation Of platform, and, if neces-
sary, the selection of candidates.
