The silver Democrats are fully de.
icunined, they say. that they shall not
be- kept out Of the control of the Chicago
convention 10y any manipulation by the
national committee oi the contested
delegations, and notice to that effect has
been served upon Chairman Harrty Of

more important question still open te
dispute. IL seems, however, to have
put an end TO the absurd idea that q
minor Treasury official has more au.
thority than Congress and the Presi.
dent, and Tor that reason has been
thankfully received by many who will
not ge, any Of the sugar bounty money.
