keep the money at home? The first in.

proper to wipe out the $4,000 by pay

bonds should be taken up by the state,
and the legislature this winter should
see that the provision is made to allow
this. Now we raise the interest and send
it away. BY keeping the bonds we would
raise the interest and pay it back to our,

II Silver Men Walk Out They Will Go
Quietly.
ST. LOUIS, June 16.-The delegates
from the silver producing states have
MOI yet held a formal conference, but
they expect to get together later. There
have, however, been several informal
meetings at which the programme to be
pursued by the radical silver forces has
been sufficiently discussed to longer
leave any doubt that it is their inten-
ton to bolt the convention in case
their demand for the free coinage of
silver is not accepted, which they do
no expect it to be. They have decided,
however, to go out without any display.
Before they take their departure a
resolution will probably be offered, pro-
viding for the coinage of the American
silver product, but while the men from
the silver producing states will support
this in lieu of absolute free coinage, it
will not be offered by one of them, but
probably by a delegate from a non-silver
producing state.

Another great wave Of emigration is a.

The trend toward the adoption of an
out and out gold plank is very marked.
One by one the delegations that have
been regarded as doubtful, such as In
diana, Nebraska and Ohio, have dropped
into line. For instance, in Indiana,
General Lew Wallace would not accept
the membership of the committee on
resolutions after the delegation had
passed a resolution favoring the Indi-
plank, telling them distinctly that
he was, himself, for the most unequivo.
cal declaration in favor Of gold. Then
they elected him a member of the COM
mittee.
In Nebraska, Senator Thurston IA
vored something milder than a DECLARE.
ton for the gold standard, and they
elected Peter Janson. He is in favor of
the most ultra declaration on the sub
ject. The Illinois member, Mr.. Robert
w. Patterson, is in favor of an explicit
statement as to the gold standard and
will insist upon the use of these words.
Mr.. Brewer, a Michigan member, would
prefer to leave out the word gold"
It is evident that the gold plank will
be very explicit.
