CHANCES FOR SILVER
How Thomas G. Merrill Sizes Up the
Political Situation.
DEMOCRATS ARE LEADERS
No Good Is Looked for From the
Republican Camp for That Party
VIII Be for Gold straight or
DeceltfuI Straddle.

Thomas G.. Merrill arrived from Salt
Lake yesterday to look after his Mon
tana interests, Mr.. Merrill having been
forced to remove his family to Salt
Lake for the benefit of his health. Mr.
Morrill, was busy shaking hands with
his friends. and he was very jubilant
over the political outlook. Speaking
from the standpoint of a silver man,
and not from the standpoint of a party
man or politician, Mr.. Merrill said:
1.-THE outlook is splendid, better in
fact than ever before. OF course, we
have lost the fight for silver in the re-
publican convention, but that makes 1t
all the more probable that we will win
in the democratic convention. The
gold people undoubtedly have a ma
jority of the republican convention.
The only question is whether II will be
a straddle or an absolute gold platform.
/ look to see the nomination for presi-
dent made before the platform is adopt
ed. If Mckinley is nominated on the
first ballot, as seems probable, then
there will be a straddle platform adopt
ed. like that of four years ago. If Nc
Kinley is not nominated on the first
ballot, 1 don't think he will be nomi-
mated at all. Levi p. Morton wilr then
be nominated, and the platform will be
as strong for gold as it can be possible
to make 1t. 1t is idle to talk of the pos
sibilfty of the silver men cutting any
figure in the republican convention
now. The best that can be accomplish
ed is a straddle. 1t would be better for
the ultimate triumph of silver to have
the republicans come out strong for
gold than to deceive the people by an
other straddle, and thus dodge the is
sue and confuse the voters.
II do not see anything that can pre-
vent the silver men controlling the
democratic convention except the dol
lars of Wall street, and they will have
to use a great deal of money now to
prevent the silver men being in the ma
jority. The stronger the republican
convention leans towards gold, the
stronger the democratic convention is
likely to lean towards silver 1t would
simplify the situation wonderfully If
the democrats would nominate silver
candidates on a silver platform. Then
the fight would be clearly defined and
there would be no excuse for silver men
to vote for gold or doubtful candidates.
II the goldbugs do succeed in capturing
the democratic convention. we will still
have our third party movement to fall
back on. but IL would make a winning
fight much more possible II we could
fight through the democratic party"

HELD TWO CONVENTIONS.
Republicans of Alabama Are Badly
Diyided.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 29.-The
Republicans of Alabama held two state
conventions here during the day. One,
the Mckinley convention, adopted a
ringing sound money protection plat.
form and determined to put a straight
out and out Republican ticket in the
field headed by General G. w. Burke
of Calhoun, a high class Republican.
The other, composed of all the anti.
Mckinley factions, adopted platform
declaring that all other issuA in Ala.
bama were subservient to one-fair
elections-and therefore all issues ex-
cepting these were avoided in the plat
form. Sound money and protection
are not referred to. A resolution was
adopted by the anti-Mckinley forces
that the Republicans fuse in the state
elections with the Populists. allowing
the latter to name the nominee for
governor and dividing the balance OF
the state ticket between the parties.
