Richmond. Va, April l6 (SpeciaD.-
The sound-money Democrats of Rich
mond will in i few days affect an or
Eanization and go hard at work to elect
delegates to the State Convention. 1t is
claimed by them that with proper eff
forts they can secure three-fourths of
Richmond's delegates. Mr.. c. V. Mere
dith. who led the Cleveland movement
here four years ago, will prabably be
the president of the organization. AS
soon as the club Is formed. efforts will
be made to get Mr. Carlisle and other
distinguished men to come here and
speak.
The silver men here are not idle. Sen
ator Daniels presence Is encourag ing
10 them. Daniel has been here ever
since Monday night. During this time
he has had conferences with some Of
the prominent local silverites. The Sen
ator states that the lines will be closely
drawn in the State Convention. and he
sees no reason why that body should
not say In unmistakable terms what It's
wishes are. 1t Is evident that Daniel
believes the sllverites will be In the ma
jority. for he is strong advocate of the
unit rule being adopted
Judge Waddn is back from the Re-
publican convention ut Tappahannocb.
He states that he is perfectly satisfied
with the outcome OF 1t. The Judge
laughs at the suggestion that there was
any significance in the fact that he and
Col. Lamb shook hands and chatted
while on the way to Tappahannock
Judge Waddill is still very decidedly of
the opinion that Lamb will be beaten
in the State Convention.

OF the very best equipped lines in tn,
country. People who come to the con.
federate reunion will have to use II
as 1t is the only line that runs to the FIX
position grounds
In view OF the powerful protest against
municipal aDpropria tions to sectariar
institutions made by the Baptist Min.
| listers Conference. II is likely that IN,
Board of Aldermen tomorrow night vii
decline TO vote any money 10 the asv.
iums under sectarian control. The Kan

the Council has no legal right 10 max,
such appropriations.
