HAVE GOT THEIR CUE.
Admtnist ration Officers Who VIII
BOLT the Chicago Ticket.

1t Is very evident that tho administra-
ton officers now in this city have re-
ceived the expected cue from President
Cleveland as to his position with regard
to the democratic free silver platform.
Secretary Herbert has publicly announced
his purpose to bolt the Bryan and Sewall
ticket, and Assistant Secretary Hamlin.
who undoubtedly voices the sentiments
of Secretary Carlisle in the matter has
declared in plain terms that every loyal
citizen should ally himself against the
forces which controlled the Chicago con-
vention-forces of lawlessness-which are
inconsistent with the maintenance of the
republic
Secretary Olney is also reported to have
informed friend last evening that he re-
garded the deliberations at Chicago as dis
graceful and revolutionary, and also that
no sound money democrat could conscien-
tiously support Bryan and Sewall. He is
also credited with having said that he
would vote against the ticket himself
Secretary Olney was asked today If he had
made the above statement or anything
similar to 1t, and he declined to say
whether he had OF had not. There is rea-
son. however, for the prevailing belief that
he was correctly reported.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin said today
that in his statement given to the press
yesterday he represented himself and no
one else.

NOT ALL HARM ONlOUS
Cropping Out Of Discomfort in Democratic
Free Silver Circles.
A Question as to the Proportions OF
POpulism and Democracy in Ticket
and Platform.

Evidence is cropping out that all is not as
harmonious and enthusiastic in democratic
free silver circles as appears on the surface.
Public expressions to the contrary, the Chi
cago result has caused many misgiVings.
The convention, both as to ticket and plat
fo rrn did break away from those to whom
leadership was intrusted, and from whom
well-defined and logical action was ex-
rected. Populism got the upper hand in
committee on platform. and the presiden-
tial nomination was made, not by confer
ence or sober consideration, but in a whirl-
wind of excitement produced by stump
speech. Naturally, therefore, now that the
work performed comes under the light of a
little calm reflection, some of the men who
participated in 1t, being in doubt themselves,
are anxious to know what the country
thinks about it.
A Question Being Asked.
Not all of these men'are prosecuting their
inquiries openly. Not all of them are pre-
pared to do so. Some of them are candi-
dates for office themselves, and are forced
to be cautious, while others are anxious to
protect the regularity of their party record
for use in the future. But all are anxious
just the same, and are asking themselves
and others how much of pSpullsm has been
taken on and how much of genuine democ-
raCS remains.
The Case of MIR. Bailey.
The case of Congressman Bailey of
Texas is in point, though somewhat eX-
ceptional for the stand he takes. Mr..
Bailey went to Chicago as a delegate in
structed for free silver and for Mr.. Bland
for President. He is democrat, and has
been fighting populism at home with all
his might. He was standing for re-elec-
ton to the House and was assured of sue
cess. He now announces to his constitu-
ents that he will not make the race for
Congress. He IS at pains to say that he is
not bolter. and he expresses a belief in
MIR. Bryan's success. But all the same his
action excites great deal of curiosity, and
TO some people is ineXplicable except upon
the hypothesis that he is a least a serious
ly disgruntled man.
MIR. Bailey IS young, capable and am
Ditious. He is coed parliamentarian, and
has been supposed to have his eye on the
sDeakership OF the House as stepping
stone 10 seat in the Senate. But sudden
ly. and Immediately following the Chicago
convention, he decides to retire to private
life. Is the democracy's turn toward popu-
ism too pronounced for him?
There Are Others.
And there are others. 1t is reported that
John X. Mclean does not like the plat
form, and it is noted as a fact that Senator
Tillman has had no word of commentator
for the tail of the ticket. Mr.. Sewan is an
eastern man and very rich. and Mr.. Till
man has been charging up all the woes of
The country to the plutocratic east.
Ihere seems to be ground for the belief
shortly be in demand in the free silver
camp.

Representative Newlands of Nevada has

he attended the democratic convention as

lands will leave here in few days for
ST. Louis as a delegate from his state to
the convention of the silver party.
To Star reporter this morning M.
Newlands said: THE course TO be pur-
sued at st. Louis will be determined there,
but personally 1 am in favor of the in
dorsement OF Bryan and Sewall. Ali Of
the silver men with whom l have spoken
are in favor Of this. l think the western
republicans will fall into line all right, and
that the populist convention will indorse

Thinks the Ticket Will BE Elected.
Asked as to the chances of the ticket,
Mr.. NeWlands said: THE ticket will be
elected. 1t will sweep the south and every
state west of the Missouri river. 1t has
as many sure votes as the republican tick
ct, with more chances for the doubtful
ones than the republicans. All of the
northwestern states are doubtful In this
list are Iowa, Minnesota Wisconsin, Mich
igan. Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and the DEM
ocrauc ticket stands the best chance in
the majority of them"
Has the ticket no chance in the east?'

many expressions of alarm are heard
While the majority of the representative
business and professional men in Baltimore
ard elsewhere are advocates of the GOLD
standard, the voters are being converted
daily to silver, and in rural communities
party lines have been nearly obliterated
The rank and file of the democratic party
VIII not only tender its enthusiastic sup
port to Bryan and Sewal. but plans are
new being outlined TO insure the nomina
tic of silver men in the six congressional
districts. In the first district Mr. Henry
r. Lewis of Caroline and Mai. William r
Stewart of Talbot are mentioned as the
leading candidates, while IT is asserted that
Representative Miles will be relegatad to
