Says GoIdbugs Are Trying to wreck
the Party.

Tyler, Tex, April 25.--(speciai.) -Thc
following interview was granted today
by Hon. John NJ Duncan on the action
OF the gold bug conference at Dallas:
In my opinion the action of the gold
worshippers at Dallas represents noth.
ing more than the political desperado-
Ism OF n few men who have fallen into
disgrace In the Democratic party TO
such an extent as that they cannot hope
Tor honora OF office at It's hands. Their
sole desire now Is to wreck tho Demo-
cratic party In the hope that they may
be able to secure something OF value
from the ruins.
When the Turner Hall bolt was or
ganized they had great hope OF eiectlng
lheir ticket and 30 filing the Offices and
coming directly into power; but their
deieat was 80 signal and overwhelming
mat their leaders felt burned upon
their foreheads the incffaceable brand
or naitors to Democracy, and that
While thsy might be permitted in future
70 march with the rank and fIle under
close surveillance. there was no nros.
pect or preferment for them. These
CONSIDERATIONS, and their inourable itch
TOT once, have rendered them dcsner-
ave, ana their assaults upon the Demo-
crauc party and its leaders are a.
uaussiess IN human reason as the hold
