cussion and argument would all be lost.
''Third-A new convention would also
preserve for the future the opportunities
OF the Democratic party. Unless a clear
comparison is made between the genuine
Democrats and the Democrats who are
drifting into Populism or are already in
| Populsm, and unless that clear-cut sep
aration is supported by organization
| and reorganized Democratic party is
the result, the party has no chance of
regaining public confidence for years To
| come. The sound money Democrats in
| the different States must each make it
| clear that they have no association with
| the Bryan party, or they must accept
| association and ENHANCEMENT with 1t;
| and all State organizations will in the
| public mind be for it that do not make it
| absolutely clear that they are against it.
| "Fourth-Democrats who believe in
Democratic principles must have a
party. They now have the opportunity
| to reorganize and keep the Democratic
| party and the interests of the nation i'm
| peratively Democratic, that the Demo-
cratic party shall be rescued out of
| datien.
| ''The sound money Democrats are suf-
| ficiently organized in this State to be
able to meet their fellow Democrats in
I a conference, and are anxious to con-
| fer with representatives of other States.
| whereby a conference can be brought
| about We hope that out of the re-
| sponses to this public statement by the
! Illinois Democracy there can be gath
| cred together some of the leading Demo-
Gratis of other States, so that conven-
tion can be formed"
This pronounciamento sets the pace
for the East, but in the minds of the
| leaders there is not an abundance of
! faith that party organizations which
! sent gold delegations to the Chicago
convention will declare for another
| convention. The most that Illinois ex-
poets is that enough gold Democrats
outside of the gold States will send del
/ egates to the convention as to make it
| successful, and the Middle and South
| ern States are relied on to give the new
movement much support. 1t is in those
| States that the gold men expect to win.
| Names of standard bearers have been
freely mentioned Chief among them is
| Secretary Carlisle. He is regarded as
| the ideal candidate, if he will accept,
| but no assurance has been received
| from him. Henry Warterson is looked
! upon with almost equal fervor, coming
| from the same State, but he is out of
| the country, and it is not known when
| he will return. The other statesmen
mentioned are Senator Palmer of IL
linois and Secretary Morton, who is
| from Bryan's State.
Senator Hill is regarded as the great
obstacle to the cooperation of Eastern
party organizations in the call for a
new ticket From private kilograms re-
ceived to-day from the New York Sen
atOr and other party leaders in the En-
! pre State it is as good as settled that
| New Yorks Democratic machine Will
not favor another convention. Senator
| Hills plan is understood to be to fight
for the election of Congressman, and the
throwing of the Presidential election
into the House of Representatives
where a more successful contest for
gold President 5souid be more probable
than with a third ticket.
The Illinois gold Democrats received
| a setback to-day in the announcement
of Postmaster Washington Hesing,
leader of the faction from the start,
that he was opposed to a third ticket.
He denounced the proposition on the
ground that third ticket would mean
the election of the silver Democratic
ticket.
| The revolt of the Illinois delegation
against Governor Altgeld, which broke
out first in the convention hall, was ac-
| centuated to-day by the resignation of
| Colonel Henry f. Donovan OF Chicago
| of his position of Inspector General of
| the Illinois National Guard, to which
| he was appointed by the Governor.
| Colonel Donovan was an original Boies
man, and led the anti-Bland forces in
| the convention against the Governor
