NATIONAL POLITICS.
WILL WIN AT CHICAGO.


Mexico, Mo- Chairman $. B. Cook, of
the state central committee, has given
out the following statement regarding the
financial issue in the Democratic national
convention: "The struggle for the mas
terry of the Chicago convention promises
to surpass anything that the country has
witnessed since the memorable contest of
1860. Last week the gold standard wing
Of the party secured an advantage by
capturing Michigan, which gives them a
slight led in the number of delegates
selected thus far. Eleven states and the
District of Columbia have selected dele
gates with the following result:
"For the gold standard Massachusetts,
30; Pennsylvania, 64; Rhode Island, s.;
Michigan, 2S; total, ls0. For silver
Missouri, "a; Mississippi, IS; Alabama,
%; Oregon, s; Colorado, 8; Washington,
8; Nebraska, l6; total, ia.
"It will be noticed that not a single
electoral vote can be expected for the
Democracy from any of The states which
have declared for the gold standard, no
matter what the platform may be, while
two-thirds of the votes of the states
which have elected silver delegates are
absolutely safe to the Democracy shonld
a silver platform be adopted. In other
words, the reliably Republican states, like
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, are relied upon to make the plat.
form for Democratic states like Missouri,
Mississippi and Alabama. In the esti-
mate sent out by the gold standard peo-
pie they claim they will have 3S3 dele
gates at Chicago; concede the silver forces
1863 and place 158 iE the doubtful column.
The doubtful list includes Illinois, 49,;
Iowa, 26; Indiana, 38; Kentucky, 26; and
Nebraska, 16. Of these five states the
first two are absolutely sure for silver,
and the chances are at least even in In
diana and Kentucky. There will be $40
delegates and 456 will be majority.
Taking the gold standard estimate as
correct we only need in addition to Illi-
nois and Iowa thirteen more votes.
Either of the other three states will an
swer. As matter of fact, the regular
convention in Nebraska has elected a
solid silver delegation, but the rump
convention called by the faction which
bolted in '94 has elected contesting
delegation, and this will exclude Nebraska
from participating in the convention un.
til the adoption Of the report of the COM
mittee on credentials. Taking the gold
standard estimate of the situation, there
fore, the silver Democrats have decidedly
the best of it,
"Either Indiana or Kentucky wonlt
give US absolute control of the conven
tion."
TENNESSEE FOR FREE SILVER.
Nashville. - The largest Democratic
state convention ever held in Tennessee,
has adjourned. It was free silver con
vention from start to finish. Fully 8,
500 delegates and visitors were in at
tendance. A vote on the contested dele
cation reports showed that the free sill
YER men proposed to grant no quarter tc
the handful of money delegates. Sen
ator Isham g. Harris and W. B. Bate, E
W. Carmack, and T. M. Mcconnell wer'
chosen delegates-at-large to Chicago.
