NATIONAL POLITICS.
HOPEFUL HARR1TY,

Philadelphia, Pa.-"There will be NJ
bolt in the Chicago convention, in m,
Judgment, even if free silver platform
is adopted" was the way Chairman Har
rity, of the Democratic national commit
tee, expressed it. Continuing, he said:
~ still believe that the silver boom il
seeming, rather than real, and that tn.
party will be guided to declare for SOUND
money when the delegates get together
"What do you found that belief upon?'
"Faith in human nature and the gooc
sense of Americans of the standing tina,
are made delegates to national conven
tions. Without analyzing the situation
by states, will say that these alleged sill
yer victories have been made much of BY
the newspapers. Everything has beer
credited to the silver propaganda, and
nothing to the factional fights which
were the influential and potential factors
in most cases. Good Democrats were &C.
lected for delegates, and it is upon Their
good sense and patriotism that 1 found
my hopes"
"Are there any silver men in the Penn.
sylvania delegation?" was asked.
~ have not heard of one. Neither have
seen any delegates quoted as determined
to bolt in case platform or candidates do
not suit them. had hoped that both
the Democratic and Republican conven-
tions would declare for sound money go
nequivocally that that Issue would be
practically eliminated from the cam
paign. It does not seem 80 sure now
that the st. Louis convention will not
make some recognition of bimetallism as
a distant possibility, which will be in the
nature of straddle. No one has heard
of any talk of bolt from the st. Louis
convention, and the same is the case with
the Chicago convention. Certain news
papers profess to see signs and talk
about split in one or the other conven-
tions, but they don't name any delegates
who are declaring for such a COURSE"
MORE ALTaELDIsM.
Springfield, Ill.-The following tele-
gram was received from the New York
Herald by Gov. Altgeld this evening:
"What are your views on the probabil-
ity of Cleveland supporting Mckinley
and the consequences of such actioc?"
To this the governor reps1ed as follows:
"England enabled Benedict Arnold to
ravish Virginia after he had betrayed the
colonies which had trusted and honored
him; but no power on earth can enable
Mr.. Cleveland to further injure the Demo-
cratic party, which had honored and
trusted him and which he has betrayed in
a more cowardly manner than Arnold did
the colonies. By all means let him sup
port Mckinley, for then Democratic sue
cess will be assured.
(Signed) "JoHN P. ALTaELD."
In reply to the query: "Do you think
Illinois will instruct for Morrison and
how many votes will he poll at the Chi
cago national Democratic convention"
the governor replied:
"This question of candidates has not
been considered in illinois"
BOOMING BOISE.
Creston, Iowa.-At meeting of the
delegates to the national convention at
Des Moines last Saturday a literary bu-
reau was formed, with s. A. Brewster, edi-
tor of the Daily Advertiser of this city,
as chairman. The object of the bureau
is to promote the interests of Iowa's fa-
vorite son, Horace Boies, for the presi-
dency. The life of Boies and his views
will be published and circulated broad
cast. Headquarters will be opened at
Chicago at an early day and the candi-
dacy of Boies pushed to the utmost.
