The apparent unwillingness of the
silver Democrats to affiliate with the
sound money Democrats in the matter
OF county offices may lead to the partial
GeIeat OF the silver Democratic ticket.
The NATIONAL wing of the party has
about determined to name at least one
candidate for office and it Is probable
! that they will conclude to nominate
a county attorney If this should be
done. there will be sufficient Democratic
votes diverted from the Demo- Pop can

publican candidate. When some of the
| SILVER leaders learned Of this intention
on tne part of the National Democrats
last evening, they began to consider

money democrats few days ago. 1t
| IS now likely. that before this conven-
tloh meets next Tuesday, the silver
Democrats will make oyertures to the
| sound money Democrats and if possible,
compromise by Offering some other office
IMAM mat or county attorney. 1t is
