THE SILVER CONVENTION.

form.

Likely to Adopt n One-Plank Plat
form.
ST. LOUIS. July a1-r N. Stevens. mem-
ber of the executive committee of the ma
tional silver party, arrived this morning.
speaking OF what the silver party will do,
he said: "Our party was organized to unite
all silver voters for the campaign of 1893,
without regard to past party affiliations.
We started by asking them to hay aside
temporarily their views on other public
questions, and to unite in one supreme ef-
fort to settle the money question this year.
Our convention win be largely composed
OF men who have belonged to the republi-
can party, and who have been easily per-
suaded to join our ranks for the reason
that they co not have to sacrifice their con-
victfons upon other political questions but
simply subordinate them to the money
question.
Our convention will nominate Bryan and
Sewall upon Substantially the financial
plank OF the Chicago platform. which will
probably be the sole plank of our platform,
and then an address will probably be Is
sued appealing TO the American people to
hold IN allegiance their beliefs upon other
questions and join with us in restoring the
me ney OF the Constitution. We will be
powerful factor in the middle and western
states in uniting the silver vote.
The members Of our party undertook this
work frcm motives of patriotism alone:
they want no offices; therefore they have
no trades or conditions to delay them: and
the silver convention will probably complete
its work by Wednesday night. The party
has a school district organization in all the
middle and western states. 1t will bring
to the support OF Bryan hundreds of thou
sands who do not wish to vote a demo-
cratic ticket or Join that party. but who
agree with us upon the money question"
Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota and
Senator Jones of Nevada arrived here to-
day. The former came direct from Mani
tou Springs, CoI where the republican sill
yer Senators held their conference, and
whence they issued their manifesto in sup
port Of Mr.. Bryan's nomination.
Senator Jones came from the east, where
he has been since the adjournment of Con-
gress. Senator Jones Is d delegate to the
silver convention. He member oil
the last International monetary conference
and Is one of the most eminent bmetallists

ST. LOUIS. July 21.-Another dark and
dismal day broke this morning. The dull

could make little headway against the Or

were acting with system.
A meeting of the middle Of the road men
was called, and an attempt made to or

to deferring action. Many of them are

governor of Louisiana on the recent lynch
ings in that state. The speech will not be
given out for publication, but will bo
transmitted to the Italian authorities. In
general way the report states that after
thorough Investigation Try the state au.
thorities no affirmative evidence can be
found that the mon lynched were italian
subjects 1t cannot be learned either that
they have ever taken out American nat
urallzation papers. The governor says
that every effort Is being made by the au-
thorities of the state to find tho perpotra.
tors of the deed As tho governors re.
port does not appear to mitigate the cir
cumsthnces Of tho affair there seems to be
little doubt but that the United States
will have to pay AN indemnity, The case
Is similar to that which occurred in Col
orndo last year, at which time Secretary
Olney recommended to congress that in-
demnlty be given to the families Of the
Italians killed. The Italian government
is quite as inslstant that the perpetrators
Of these crimes he punished as that money
should be paid as indemnify.
