The Democratic national oonven-
ton will consist Of go delegates.
This will make the majority 1s56.
Already twenty-five states have held
their conventions for the election
Of delegates to the national conven-
ton and adopted platforms declar-
ing either for silver at the ratio Of
Is to or for gold. Four hundred
and forty-eight delegates have been
chosen, two hundred and seventy
two for free silver, one hundred and
seventv-si'x for gold. This is only a
little more than half the states and
Il little more than half of the dele
gates, bat for all the delegates
elected it is more than one and a
half delegates for silver to every
one for gold. 1t is safe to assume
that the same ratio will continue,
though unquestionably the great
state of New York, with its seventy
two votes, will declare for gold. At
the present time every indication is
that the Chicago convention will be
overwhelmingly for silver.

The Senate has passed the bill
introduced by Butler of North
Carolina to prevent the issue OF
interest bearing bonds. The bill is
brief but to the point. Unlike the
financial planks of the Republican
and Democratic parties in the
Presidential campaign of 1892, it
cannot be constructed one way in
the East and another in the West.
1t reads as follows:
The issuance of interest bearing bonds
Of the United States for any purpose
whatever without further authority OF
Congress is hereby prohibited.
All the goldbug Senators of both
parties argued against the passage
of the bill. They want unlimited
power given the Administration to
issue bonds and mortgage the coun-
Try to the gold trust. The silver Re-
pablicans and Democrats thought
that Congress could be trusted to
authorize an issue of bonds when
1t became necessary. All amend
ments offered by the gold men were
rejected and the bill passed by a
vote Of 80 to 25.

day, includes the provision for the
assaying and sampling of silver

years. The amendment was in
serted by the senate at Mr.. Dubois
instance and it provided for The
equipment of the necessary works

and Bonner's Ferry, Ida. The Sec
rotary of the treasury is authorized
either to purchase lands and con-
struct buildings or purchase build

for the purpose Of making the as
says required. The amendment
requires that in no case shall less
quantity than one-fifth Of any i'm.
portation Of ore be subjected to

Last Saturday 1,126,0OO ounces
of silver bullion were shipped from
New York to London. The average
price paid for this bullion was a
fraction over 60 cents an ounce. II
England had to pay VI 20 an ounce
instead of So cents an ounce for sill
yer which it coins into rupees for use
in the East Indian possessions, the
wheat and cotton which it purchases
with rupees would cost very nearly
twice as much as they do to-day,
and the wheat and cotton which
the United States exports to Eu-
rope would advance proportionately
in price.

porter he said:
"Tbis purchase is simply bust

and under the next presidential re-
gime take it to the minis and have

THE OREGON VICTORY.
General Weaver.Jubilant Over the
Oregon Victory.

General J. B. Weaver, of Iowa.
who has made personal supervision
of the Oregon campaign, says of the
success of the Popalists in Oregon |;
I'VE have made the greatest fight
in Oregon that has been put up
since the organization OF the reform
party. Every county in the state was
thoroughly canvassed that could
possibly be reached. and the result
shows that Oregon is in favor oil
free silver 4 to /. The legislature
elect is overwhelmingly in favor Of
free silver. and so far as Oregon is
concerned the country can breathe
easy on that score. A union will
be effected at ST. Louis on july 22d
of all silver elements, and they will
rally under one banner and in sup
port Of one ticket. 1t will not be
necessary so far as Oregon is con-
cerned to make any further serious
canvass Of the state. AS goes Ore
gon, so goes the Union. The selec-
ton of Pennoyer to the mayoralty
of Portland is matter of tremen-
dous consequence to our cause. 1t
is showing that we are beginning
to make ourselves felt in the great
cities of the country which hereto
fore have been under the domino
ton Of oligarchy. Oregon has won
warm place in the hearts Of the
masses throughout the nation. I
leave for home this evening full OF
hope for the FUTURE"

SILVER ECHOES.
Virginia Democrats For Free Coinage


The Virginia Democratic state
convention was held at Stanton
June 4th and declared for free coin
age of silver in the following ring
ing resolutions!
1.-THE immediate and complete restora-
ton of the bimetallic system of money
that existed in the United States from
1913 to 1873 is, in our opinion, demanded
~ the interests of commerce, manufac
turers and agriculture, which are alike
suffering from continuous fall of prices
and the consequent embarrassment or
bankruptcy of those engaged therein.
And in order to restore il we demand the
free and unlimited coinage Of both silver
and gold at the ratio Of 10 to l, without
waiting for the assent Or concurrence of
any other nation.
I'VE hereby instruct all of the delegates
from Virginia to the National Democratic
convention to vote for platform declar-
ing for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to /.
and for candidates for President aud
ce-President who openly advocate that
principle"

Washington LETTER.
pm our Regular Correspondent

lfEOm our Regular COfTespOnOentl
WASHINGTON, June 6, 1896.
President Cleveland has been convinced
that the silver men will control the Chi
cago convention. The Kentucky contest
almost settled his hopes, and the business
was clinched when Secretaries Smith and
Morton returned to Washington and
made their reports. Secretary Smith
says Georgia will Join the silver column
at Chicago, and Secretary Morton, who
has been visiting the Pacific coast, says
the silver sentiment of that section is so
overwhclmning that no man or party can
stand against it, 1t looks like this ought
to be sufficient to take Mr. Cleveland out
of the calculations at Chicago, and SO it
is with most people, but there are still a
few men who cling to the idea that he is
the pet of fate. These men hint myster-
iously of something Mr.. Cleveland will
shortly do, IN connection with Cuba, that
will renew his hold upon the country.
The passing of the River and Harbor
bill over President Cleveland's veto was
very quietly accomplished in both House
and Senate, and there were plenty of votes
to spare, over AID above the two thirds
required.
The fact that the silver men will con
troll the Chicago convention has upset
great many political plans, made upon
the presumption that neither the republi.
can nor democratic national conventions
would declare TO. silver. Prominent
members of the silver party, which is to
hold national convention at St. Louis
on July 22nd-the same time and place
that the populist convention is to be held
have already declared that they favored
endorsing the ticket nominated at Chi
cago, if the platform declared for silver.
This doesn't suit the populists who have
been Counting upon the CO cooperation of
the silver party. There may be some
sensational surprises in national politics
this summer.
About the only result Of the passing
OF the Butler anti bond bill by the Sen
ate was to emphasize what everybody al
ready knew-that the silver men control
that body. The bill, which reads as FOL-
lows: "Be it enacted, that the issuance
of interest bearing bonds Of the United
States for any purpose whatever without
further authority of Congress is hereby
prohibited has been tabled by a majority
vote of the House. The 80 votes cast in
the Senate for the bill were from 10 re-
publicans, II democrats and populists,
ana the % against it were from 16 repub.
licans and 9 democrats. Silver and not
party was the dividing line, and during
the debate which preceded the final vote
several of the republican silver Senators,
including Teller, Cannon and Brown, Of
Utah, took occasion to offer some advance
advice to the st. Louis convention. Sen
ator Teller was somewhat pointed in his
remarks. He said: "What the republl-
can party will do at St. Louis, do not
know, but believe / know enough Of
the sentiment of the west and of the
plain people Of the country to say that
the party that inscribes on its banner the
gold standard is doomed to defeat"

Poor "Poker .Bill"-his lines do
fall in such unpleasant places of
late. At Mullan, a few days ago
his delicate olfactory nerves were
shocked by being assaulted with
spoiled eggs. 1t seems that the
Governor and his staff flour ker-
nels) were taking drive when the
udoriferous hen fruit was hurled at
the distinguished occupants of the
carriage. 1t is stated that Poker
Bill's" best suit of clothes would
probably have to be inferred in a
temporary grave in order to re-
move the fragrant (?) souvenir of
his visit to Mullan.
You may swear; you may bury the clothes
if you will, Bill,
But the chances are that
The scent of the hen fruit will cling to
them still.

The Arizona Democrats held their
Territorial convention at Phoenix
Monday and adopted the following
resolutions on finance:
1--WE favor the immediate restoration of
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, as
such coinage existed prior to 1873. with
out waiting for the aid or the consent of
any other nation; such gold and silver tn
be a full legal tender for all debts, public
and private.
1--WE are opposed to the retirement of
the greenback and demand that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, instead of issuing
interest bearing bonds for the purchase
Of gold shall recognize silver as the
money of redemption and exercise the
right to redeem greenbacks, treasury
notes and all other coin obligations in
silver where silver is more convenient"
The delegates to the National
convention were instructed to vote
as unit and to vote only for free
coinage candidate for the nomina-
ton for President and Vice Presi.
