"A letter was published yesterday from

count of an article published In an off,

SENATOR HARnIa

Speaking of the purpose OF the con-
ference. Senator Harris said il had been
called I'm order to afford the silver DEM
ocrats an opportunity to compare views
and look over the ground preparatory
to the national convention. and that it
would probably continue daily until the
beginning of the convention. He also
said that the meeting would not be con-
fined to members of the bimetallic or
ganization, but that there would be rep
resentatives present from every state
delegation friendly TO silver Further
than this, the senator declined to COM
nit himself as to the purpose OF the
meeting, but IL is learned from an au-
thoritative source that the silver DEM
ocrats regard this conference as a very
important affair.
The organization under whose aus
pices the meeting is called, has been
laboring in season and out for the pro-
motion of the silver cause within the
Democratic ranks They have had their
headquarters at Senator Harris house,
and from that quarter have conducted

sentatives in all parts of the country, to
whom have been entrusted the organ
