vILAS'S COUNSEL HEEDED.
In so far as the conference decided not to
issue and sign the Convention call at once and
to test the strength of the movement by holding
State mass-meetings. the go-sow policy advo-
Gated by Senator Villas last night was sus-
tanned. The object Of the appointment of the
committee and the postponement Of the call
until August : is to give the Convention repre-
sentative authority and to hear from more
States in the mean time so that everything may
be done with party regularity, and the accusd-
tion Of silver Democrats that the unauthorized
members of the conference were running
things" may be avoided. Senator Villas went
away we'll pleased. and will arrange for holding
a Wisconsin State meeting Of Democrats.
After the adoption of the report. on which
there was little discussion. the conference ex-
changed views as to the political situation from
a sound-money point Of view in the States rep
resented and as to the effect of a third ticket
on the other nominees.
