The desperate situation OF the republican

The last week of the campaign opens
with many indications which point to the
certain success Of MIR. Bryan and the cause
he so ably represents said Senator Jones'
chairman of the democratic committee, to-
night.
Hundreds of conservative business men
who, in the earlier stages of the campaign
were misled by the denunciatious OF a par
tisan press, but who have been making .
calm study and personal investigation Of
the money question, are daily announcing
themselves in favor OF free coinage OF silver
and are giving assurances of their hearty
support. This change OF sentiment among
the substantial men of business is not con
fined to any one locality; 1t is the logical
sequence OF a campaign which has bCn
conducted on educational lues The res
toration of silver TO it's constitutional use as
money would have an immediate and bene-
fetal effect on all branches of trade and
manufacture. A telegram came this after
noon from an important city of 100000 III
habitants saying that the roll Of the re
publican silver club in that city had
reached 400. Many prominent men in chi
cago and other States have come over. In
Indiana there have been numbers of con
verts among prominent men recently many
of them being former gold democrats who
have returned to the fold. The spirit of tho
people is absolutely superb. They are buoy

SOME WILL BOLT.
Gold Advocates Hold u Conference
and Denounce SiIverites.

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, July Z. = The sound-money
people had their final conference tonight.
and it was the largest one yet held. the
south parlor of the Auditorium containing
a greater crowd than 1t has held at any
previous gathering. Crowded within it,
rubbing shoulders with the unknowns
were nearly all the men who bossed the
Democratic convention here four years ago
completely as the Mckinley forces con-
trolled the destines of the st. Louis gather
ing. 1t was a town meeting" altogether
too large and too general for mapping ont
a definite programme for tomorrow. but
the tenor of the speeches was entirely in
the line of reputation of the work of this
horde, now assembled here as the repre-
sentatives of the party.
The loudest applause of the evening came
when General Bragg, of Wisconsin, de-
clared that there is no telling what this
Populistic mob is going to do. The drift
of the speeches of Senator Cray of Della
ware, and those who followed him was al
together bitter in denunciation of the alb
solute tyranny of the silver majority as
shown in the conven ion to-day, their object
being TO work the delegates from the gold
States, all of whom had been invited and
most of whom were present up to the point
of leaving the convention. in accordance
with the programme of the gold leaders.
in case the action of the convention to-
morrow throws out enough gold delegates
TO smother the voice of the sound-money
people completely by giving the silverites
a two-thirds majority. 1t was believed
necessary TO screw their courage up to the
sticking point, because the gold leaders are
tonight confronted with the possibility
that they cannot deliver the goods when il
comes 10 walking out of lie convention
Harrity has been against bolt yht along.
and declines 10 lead the Pennsylvania dele
CATION, while the Maryland and Maine peo-
pie, eight from Massachusetts and other
scattering delegates have weakened on the
proposition somewhat. On walk-out the
unit rule would hardly be sustained by the
convention, and such delegates as do not
believe in such an extreme measure might
prefer to remain in and break the force
of IT,
The silver programme contemplates turn
ing down the Michigan delegation and ev-
erything else that stands in the way of a
two-thirds majority. While the silverites
are by no means solidihed on the subject
OF candidate. they are agreed on the
proposition that silver must control the
necessary number of votes TO nominate in
order not TO give the gold faction the op-
portunity TO block the game and force
the abrogation OF the two-thirds rule by
the majority.
The final result OF the big conference was
thesdetermination TO leave the question of
walking out 20 the individual delegations.
