COLDS UPHILL FIGHT.


Chicago. July 4-The anti-silver men
have been at work all day. The delega-
tlons now in the city have been visited
by the men from the East. and earnest
arguments have been made by those who
hope TO stem the silver tide. The sue
cess has not been marked No converts
have been made. and the silver men have
met them fat-footed with declarations
that they intend TO carry the convention,
make the platform and nominate the can
dsdares. One of the New York leaders
thinks some progress mas been made. and
Instances. among other things. that they
have been assured that the silver men
will not attempt 10 abrogate the two
thirds rule, and that the unit rule will
be observed 1t has been understood for
some time that the silver men did not
wish to sbrogate the two-thirds rule. but
there has been quite a strong pressure TO
have the unit rule broken. The Eastern
mens have been fighting against this with
a great deal OF vigor. There are dele
gates in New York and Pennsylvania who
want 10 vote for silver. and If they are
sallowed so do so they would make quite a
Showing. The leaders of these big dele
cations naturally want them TO vote SOL
Idly against the silver candidates
Don NJ. Dickinson. OF Michigan. was ask
ed today what the gold men expected to
accomplish, and he replied that they
would fight TO the finish. Just as IL they
expected 10 win. The object of the work
they were now doing was TO get the anti
silver men united. so that they would
srand together until the convention was
closed. Mr.. Dickinson said they have ac-
complished all they expected to the first
day.

depend largely upon the responses which
may be received 10 the following note.
which was sent out today by the steering

ton that the best interests of the cause

having the platform and nomination prse-
tically determined by the silver men OF

the earliest practicable moment IL your
delegation agrees in this view"
This IS the first open and official avowai
the silverItes have made that they mean
20 agree upon candidate and platform.
II possible before entering the convention,
though II has been surrnised from the be-
ginning that such were their plans. IL
ts the intention, IL the answers are favor

DELEGATIONS stand both on the platform
ard the nomination. This will be se-
complishea. II possible. by canvass OF
the deie~afions separately ny their repre-
sentatfves on the general silver commit
tee. IL II is found that this plan will not
work satisfactorily. Caucus will be held.
A majority OF the delegates now In the

Gus idea. bait most Of the recognized lead
ers are disposed 10 stave u OF as long
as possible They seem 70 prefer that II
a caucus Is held at all IL should be post

bA desirable until after they had had an
opportunity 20 discharge their obligations

candidates covered ny their instructions.
The action of Gov. Matthews support
e~S IN declaring against caucus has had
the effect Of increasing the feeling IN
favor cf such proceeding The idea Is
being inSnstriogsly inculcatsd that those
who oppose caucus are contemplating
.he possibility Of union with the gold
