silver committee tomorrow, after being
passed upon at a previous meeting
of the steering committee.
The commits tee first agreed that the
candidate should be chosen from the
western states, largely because of the
general belief that Senator HARRIS of
Tennessee should be given the perrna-
rent craftsmanship. Three names were
considered. They were those of Sena-
tor White and of Messrs. Bryan of
Omaha, and c. S. Thomas of Denver,
who were urged by their respective
friends. Objection was made to the
fact that Mr. Thomas halls from a
silver producing state. The choice of
the meeting wse favorable to Mr..
White, but, recognizing that the meet
ing was not full, it was decided that
opportunity should be afforded for
choice between the three. with the
recommendation in the order named

of the probabilities as to the action of
the national committee with reference
to the selection of a temporary chair
man. The members of the national
committee present supplied what infor-
nation they had at their command.
and the exchange of information led
to the conclusion that the silver men
would be able to control the commit
tee a. to the selection, by securing the
co-oper2tion of a few members who,
while they advocate the gold standard,
take the position that the majority OF
the convention should be allowed to-
designate he chairman. They count
that there are twenty-one or twenty
two silver men on the nasional COM
mittee and their information led them
ta believe that they would have the
cooperation of Cummings of Tennes-
see; Hoery of Mississippi; Jeffries of
Louisiana; Holt of Texas; Wall of
Wisconsin, and the member from North
Carolina who is ranked as a gold man.
If their voses are secured the choice
of the silver men will be ratified by
the committee and the necessity of a
minorifv report and contest on the
floor of the convention avoided.
The advisa bility of accepting Sena-
tor Hill for the position was also dis
cussed at some length, but the other
proposition was unanimously regretted.
IF Mr.. Hill is a Democrat, and he
is unouestionahly," said one of those
present, "he will recognize the right
of the majority to rule. He knows the
train is coming, and he must get off
the track if he does not want to be
jerked off.
The members of the Democratic ma
tional committee held a second meet
ing to agree on a candidate for tenn
porary chairman of the convention,
and decided to recommend Senator
John W. Daniel of Virginia. Senator
White of California had been previ-
ously selected by them, but when a
delegation called upon him to confer
about the matter, he said that on &C
count of other engagements it would
be impossible for him to serve.
Senator Daniels name may be pre-
sented to the full committee by the
silver men. If the gold committeeman,
who are a majority, insist upon pre-
senting the name of Senator Hill or
some other gold man to the conven-
ton. the silver contingent will nom
mate Daniel. 1t is possible Daniels
name will be brought before the con-
vention by a minority report from the
national committee.

NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION.

WASHINGTON. July She natural gas
production in the United States for 1885
is revived in report of the geological
survey, compiled by Expert Joseph D.
eeks. The total value was SIS, eos, $50
against $13,S54 400 in 1894, the value being
that of coal or wood displaced by gas.
The value of the consumption during
1865 was greater than in 49, when it was
$22, 629, S75 From then to 1881, the decrease
was rapid and in the past four years there
has been a gradual decline The most
notable feature of the year was the de-
creasing pressure in all of the natural gas
fields OF the country.

Bailey on the Platform.

CHICAGO. July 5.-Congressman Bailey,
of Texas, said today of the platform:
Il do not believe the convention will
think of limiting the platform to a single
plank. Most of the southern delegates are
opposed to such plan. We want the
financial plank made the paramount one,
but we do not concede that the Democrat
ic party has become a party of one idea.
1t has changed none of its old principles
nor has it lost any OF them and the plat
form should reiterate them"

rash experiment may effect more dis


astrously
If questions so essentially non-polit-
zeal as the standard of value and the
quality and quantity of currency are
ever to be submitted TO popular vote
such submission can be safely made
only after full and honest discussion
at time when the people are ready
to listen with open minds and with
sole desire to determine what is right.
1t is perilous in the extreme to force
such Questions into the arena of parti-
san politics in times of general depres-
sion when men are too often a ready
prey to any fallacy or deIusinn that is
held out to them as an immediate re-
lief for their distress.
Our uniform experience has been
that in every era of hard times many
voters are the victims of financial de-
lusions, and concessions to these de-
lusions or compromises with them are
directly responsible for our disordered
monetary system.
1T is now proposed to commit the
party to free coinage of silver at an ar
bitrary ratio, so that the government
shall stamp as a dollar one hundred
cents worth of gold bullion or fifty
cents worth of silver bullion for any
one who may present one or the other
al its minis.
This never has been a Democratic
doctrine and cannot be harmonized with
the principles or the practice of the
party"
The writer enters into an explana-
ton of the historical position of the
Democratic. party. He next says it is
clear that the attempt to commit the
party to the advocacy of free silver at
a ratio totally regardless of market
values as a supreme issue is to set up
a new test of party fealty and one di-
declarations or action, and the warn
ing has already been given by leaders
whose word cannot be lightly weighed
that such action must Inevitably re-
suit in more or less party disruption

James Creelman, ESQ:
My Dear Sir-On my return from the
farm l md on my table yours of the 9th
ult. and the beautiful Cuban flag you
were kind enough to send me. I sincerely
thank you for each.
The view you express of the brave peo-
pie who have battled SO long and with
such heroic courage for a place among
the nations of the earth could not fail
to touch a sympathetic chord in every
American free mans breast.
THAT the day will soon come when the
Spanish government will realize what has
long been apparent to the rest of the
world-that a brave people, widely separat
eG from the seat of parent government,
thirsting for liberty and determined to OBJ
tain it at any cost, are and will always
continue to be a source of weakness in
stead of strength; an expense instead of
profit of giref instead of joy to the gov
eminent that holds them in subsection by
force-as l am sure, the universal wish of
every lover of freedom in all the nations
of the globe and by none is that wish ut
tered with excess of desire as those of our
country who revere the flag our fathers
defended in a struggle as deadly as that
in which our Cuban neighbors are now
engaged. Sincerely yours
