the party mas no cnance OF regaiuing
public confidence for years 10 come The
sound money democrats in the different
states must either make ID clear that
they nave no association with the Bryan
party, or they must accept association

. Democrats who believe in democratic
principles have a party. They will have
party sooner or later. The sooner the
better. They now have the opportunity
TO reorganize and keep the democratic
party, and the interests OF the nation
imperatlvely demand that the great dem
ocratic party shall be rescued out of
populism and kept on its historic fOunda-
ton. The sound money democrats are all
ready sufficiently organized in this state

IN a new convention and are anxious TO
confer with Representatives of another
state whenever a representative confer
ence can be brought about. We hope that
out OF the responses 10 this public state
ment or the views Of the Illinois democ-
racy there can be gathered so much of the
Judgment OF the leading sound money
democrats of the United States as can be
formulated into a plan of action. Com

This pronunciamentO of the gold party
or Illinois sets the pace for the east, but
in the minds Of the leaders there is not
an abundance of faith that the party or
ganizations which sent gold delegations
to the Chicago convention will declare
Tor another convention. The most that
Illinois expects is that enough gold dem
ocrats outside the regular organization
will send delegations to the new conven-
tion proposed, and to make it success
ful, and middle and southern states are
relied on to give the new movement much
support. 1t is in those states that the
gold men expect to win.
Names Of standard bearers have also
been frequently mentioned. Chief among
them is SECRETARY Carlisle. He is regard
ed as the ideal candidate If he would ac-
cfpt but no assurances have been receiV-
ed from him. Henry WattersOn is looked
upon with almost equal favor, coming
from the same state, but he is in Europe
and Ii is not known when he will return.
The other statemen mentioned are SEN
ator John NJ. Palmer and Secretary J..
Sterling Morton, who is from Bryan's
state.
Senator Hill is regarded as the great OBJ
stacle to the cooperation of the eastern
party organizations in the call for a new
ticket. From private kilograms received
to-day from the New York senator and
other party leaders in the Empire State,
II seems almost certain that New York S
democratic organization will not favor
another convention. Senator Hills plan
is reported to be to fight for the election
of gold congressman, and for the throw
ing Of the presidential election in the
House of Representatives, where a sue
cessful contest for a gold president would
be more probable than with a third ticket.
The Illinois gold democrats received an
other setback to-day in the announcement
of Postmaster Washington Hesing, a
leader of that faction from the start, that
he was opposed to third ticket. He de-
nounced the proposition on the ground that
a third ticket would mean the election of
the silver democratic ticket
The revolt of the Illinois delegation
against Gov. Altgeld, which broke out
first in the convention hall when the
state swung to Bryan, was accentuated
to-day by the resignation Of Col. Henry
F. Donovan of Chicago from his position
of inspector-ge general Of the Illinois Ma
tional Guard, to which he was appointed
by the governor. Col. Donovan was an
original Boies man, and led the anti
Bland forces in the convention against
the governor.
Before leaving Chicago, Mr.. Sewall de-
nounced the attack which had been made
on him in a morning paper, depicting him
as a foe of organized labor. He said:
ANY one acquainted with the history of
Maine and her lumber and shipbuilding
interests, knows that the house of Sew
all has always had the friendship of its
employees. We have never had the slight
hnrr On I
union labor. l am an advocate of the
cause of the laboring man, and our men
have always been treated on that princi-
pie"
