An Address Will Then Be Issued
to the People Appealing For
Support.

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-The Hon. I. B.
Stevens, member of the executive COM
mittee of the National Silver party,
has arrived in the city, Speaking of
what the silver party will do, he said:
sour party was organized to unite all
silver voters for the campaign of 1896
without regard to past party affiliations.
We started by asking them to lay aside
temporarily their views upon other pub
lie questions, and to unite in one, SUI
preme effort to settle the money ques-
tion this year. Our convention will be
largely composed of men who have be-
longed to the Republican party, and
who have been easily persuaded to join
our ranks for the reason that they do
not have to sacrifice their convictions
upon other political questions, but SIM
ply subordinate them to the money
question.
A Single Plank Platform.
Our convention will nominate Bryan
and Sewall upon substantially the
financial plank of the Chicago platform,
which will probably be the sole plank
of our platform, and then an address
will probably be issued appealing to the
American people to hold in allegiance
their opinions on other questions, and
join with US in restoring the money OF
the constitution. We will be a power
full factor in the Western and Middle
states in uniting the silver voters. The
members of our party undertook this
work from motives of patriotism alone
they want no offices; therefore
they have no trades or conditions to
delay them and the silver convention
will probably complete its work by
Wednesday night The party has a
school district organization in all the
Middle and Western states. 1t will
bring to the support of Mr.. Bryan hun
dreds of thousands who do not wish to
vote Democratic ticket, or join that
party, but who agree with us upon the
money question

HOPE FOR A BOLT
Bryan Managers at st. Louis Df
Not Want Support Of
Extremists.
Claim They Will Be Able to Con.
troll the Convention For
Endorsement.
T0wne Declares Himself in Favor
Of Bryan Weaver For Tenn
porary Chairman.

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-Another dark,
dismal day. The dull, leaden clouds
drizzled, and the convention city was
wet and dripping. But the rank and
file of the Populists who are early to
bed and early to rise, were astir before
& O'Clock, and about the hotels discuss
ing the situation, and initiative and
referendum and income tax and silver.
The corridors of the Lindell hotel were
crowded before o'clock and the ora
tions at headquarters of the middle of
the road men at the Laclede had be-
gun before that hour The leaders, of
course, were late in putting in an ap-
pearance.
Bryan Managers Were Jubilant.
The Bryan managers were in jubi-
lant frame of mind. They confidently
claimed that they had passed the Rubi-
con, and that their control of
the convention was practically as
sured. There are conditions and de-
tails yet to be worked out, but they be-
lieve they have won the main victory,
the nomination or endorsement of the
Chicago ticket. The attempt of some
to throw over Sewall and nominate
Populist for vice president has been de-
feated by the stand taken by Bryan's
friends and the positive answer of
Chairman Jones of the Democratic
national committee, that such thing
could not be considered and would not
be tolerated.
Hope There Will Be Bolt.
Although they now claim the victory,
they believe there will be bolt of the
radicals and, paradoxical as it may
seem, bolt of the extremists is what
some Of the most level headed say they
desire. The Democratic managers GER.
tainly are not averse to split which
will carry out of the convention the ex-
treme men, They claim the allegiance
of some of these men would do the
ticket infinitely more harm than coed.
The battle, of course, will come on the
floor of the convention, and no one now
doubts that there will be generous dis
play of bitterness and bad blood. The
national committee will wrestle with
the question of organization during the
day. The Bryan men have put for
ward General Weaver for temporary
chairman. This is a shrewd move.
They do not believe the opposion will
care to make fight against their late
standard bearer.

HON. HENRY. D. CLAYTON.
The Distinguished Democrat Reports Progress
Of Campaign and Says He Is Can =
didate for Congress-.

Hon. Henry D. Clayton, the Alabama
member of the national democratic COM
mittee, while en- route to Chicago spent
yesterday in the city with relatives and
friends. He gave Chairman Knox re-
port of the condition of the party in
southeast Alabama, which is that the
party is well organized and making a
vigorous fight, while the efforts of the
opposition to fuse with republicans have
not been very successful.
Mr.. Clayton informed the reporter that
the next meeting of the committee will
be held at the Palmer house, Chicago. on
next Monday. The headquarters for the
Alabama delegation and the rooms for
the delegates have been engaged by Mr..
Clayton at the Palmer. The members of
the national committee have their rooms
there also.
Mr.. Clayton has always been a strong
advocate of the free coinage of silver and
gold at the existing va ito, and with Gen.
eral Pettus and Others fought against
compromise in the state convention. The
reporter called his attention to the edi-
torlal copied in last Sundays State Her.
aid from the Russell Register, indorsing
him for congressman from the Third dis
trict, and asked If he was a candidate.
Eyes" said Mr.. Clayton, 81 am a can
didate for the democratic nomination for
congress. I do not know that l will be
opposed. l understand that probably one
gentleman Is awaiting the action of the
Chicago convention on the money ques-
ton before making any announcement.
Alabama has declared for the free COIN
age of silver and gold at the existing
ratio, and the majority of the democrats
of the Third helped to make this declara-
ton. aided in bringing about this re-
suit, and am, of course, in harmony with
it. The gold standard democrats of the
Third district are loyal to their party,
and will give the state and national tick
cts hearty support"
Mr. Clayton might also have said that
his probable opponent ought to follow the
example of Henry G. Turner of Georgia
and Major Screws Of Montgomery and
retire and let the democrats have strong
free coinage candidate and not candi-
date who has been forced to surrender his
gold convictions.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-07-02

IS KEEPING HIS WORD.

For the information of the editor of
Moseleys Times, who took the State
Herald to task for saying that the Nc
Kinley wing of the republican state con-
vention was presided over by a negro,
the State Herald prints again the follow
ing familiar expression from a member
of the populst convention, which was in
session at the same time. IT, appears
from the remarks that the gentleman
visited the convention in person and saw
with his own eyes the colored presiding
officer welding his gavel:
when 1 got up to the convention and
saw one of Hams sons, a negro, in the
chair, and found out that l had to tell
my wife when l went home that stayed
up in Montgomery until l o'clock to ask
negro whether could go to bed or not
my fellow countrymen, you don't need
1t. All you want is backbone. l have a
wife and five blessed children of the
Anglo Saxon race, and God forbid that
/ shall stay up another night until
o'clock to ask a negro what we shall do"
-Shugart of Jefferson in the populist
state convention
SO far as the State Herald is informed
Mr.. Shugart has kept his word, and If he
has stayed up to 1 o'clock since ito ask a
negro what he shall do the public is not
aware of it.
