brilliant Plan Also Comprises the Idea
of Not Letting Him Know Anything
About the Joke-Times Says He is

The Kansas City Journal has the fol-
lowing from st. Louis: The follow
ing delegates from Kansas arrived to-
day: Murdoch, Hornaday. Dewey,
Swensen and Vincent. Leland and
Barnes have been here for some days.
The others of the delegation are expect
ed TO arrive tomorrow morning, and
there viii be a meeting for organization
at 10 o'clock at the Hurst headquarters
There was no little speculation today
among the members present about who
should be made chairman. It is the
general belief that Leland will be selec-
ted for this place. There is scheme
on foot TO inject Colonel Murdoch into
the committee on resolutions, this, by
reason of the fact that he is a free silver
editor and if ne is made a. member of
that committee, he viii be fastened to
shove along the platform, no matter
what il may be. The colonel will like
" take the place if it is rendered him.
little suspecting the joke that IT is pro-
posed to tumble onto him.
Mr. Leland says the delegation will
favor the Indiana currency platform
The Kansas delegation does not favor
a declaration for the gold standard in
terms, for fear Of the effect upon Repub-
iicans who favor larger use of silver.

The Kansas City Times has the fol-
lowing: Colonel Marsh Murdoch, the
only free silver man in the Kansas del
esa ton, Is said to be weakening. The
colonel said tonight that he was a Nc
Kinley bimetallist. The crowd laughed
at the declaration. and all admitted that
Murdoch was the latest kind OF a SILVER
man. "McKinley's views on the silver
question suit me-" said the colonel. Il
know he is not talking much about ii,
but you will see that whenS congress
passes a. silver bill he will sign it" The
other delegates are for sound money,
which they say means gold with as
much silver and paper as can be main
tanned on parity with gold.
