been heralded forth by the soft-money ora
tors as accompanying the revolutionary
movement. For many years Mr.. Creelman
has known the PoDulistic candidate and
says that he believes him to be thoroughly
convinced that ii is his mission TO save
the people OF the Nation. There Is nothing
of the demagogue about him, Mr.. Creei-
man says, Notwithstanding his threat and
its execution 10 carry the war into the
heart of the "enemy's country That was
a stand he took to prove his courage and
determination. Bryan has asserted that
the silver movement is a revolution, but
Mr.. Creelman declares that he has seen
none of the fierce determination and en-
thusiasm necessary to sweep everything
before il as in revolutionary times. In
stead. the feeling displayed has been luke
warm and of "a D~erfunctory character.
II attended the meeting at Madison
square Garden" said he. within twenty
minutes after Mr.. Bryan began reading his
speech one-ffth. if not one-fourth. of the
audience had left the hall. They expected
to hear a second Demosthenes and. after
seeing the man, their curiosity was salts
fed. while their expectations were disap-
pointed. There were other conditions, OF
course. that had something, to do with the
crowd going away; the night was hot ex,
first few moments were far away from the
speakers tand, / could see all the time l
was with Bryan going home from Chicago
that he was talking too much
Mr.. Creelman says that the silverites do
not appreciate the extent and power of
the sound-money sentiment in the ranks OF

conservative and sound men of which have
come to regard the attack on the Supreme
Court of the United States as being al
most as important an issue as the free
coinage idea The class of men who are
disaffected with the Chicago platform and
ticket are careful business men. who do
not tell what they are going to do On
the other hand. Mr.. Creelman says, the
disaffected Republicans are countabie.
Free. silver is garrulous. As soon as a
man has worked out the second book of
lOgip he muSt begin working the DllZZle for
the edification OF his friends, and as soon
as he has decided to bolt he goes blabbing
business men in the Democratic party who
cannot follow Bryan are not accustomed
TO telling their business. for polite rea-
strength. / believe that a very large sound
money vote will be polled. There is not a
bit of doubt but that Mckinley will carry
New York. 1t is nonsense TO believe any
thing else"
Mr.. Creelman and the other New York
men believe that Bryan has done his cause
more harm than good by going into that
State. He is extremely anxious to secure
control of the party organization and the
main object of his tour is TO win the lead
ers to his side. Hill he regards as an al
most Indispensable ally. as he looks upon
him as the moss influential Democrat in
the East. The newspaper men deny that

which Bryan addressed. and babe his
EueStS-htfS. Bryan accompanied ntT NUS
band-good-bye at his door. They drove TO
the meeting place without Hill. Hill is
afraid to commit himself for fear that his
action at this critical period may lessen
his influence in the future. Bryan is more
anxious, il is said. TO have Hill declare
himself i'm open terms than for any other
event. But as the days pass and Hill re-
mains silent. any influence a declaration
he might make in favor of free silver is
lessened.
The movement for the sound-money con-
vention 10 regarded with great favor by
New York Democrats. This fact that ex-
Governor Flower. of New York. is TO pre-
side as temporary chairman is regarded as
peculiarly significant. "a he was one of the
delegates ut large to the Chicago convcn-
ton and repeatedly refused TO cast the
vote of the delegation. The New York
convention Is 10 be held tomorrow and the
delegation will come through on a special.
arriving some time Tuesday. 1t is under
stood that Governor Flower will come in
advance OF the delegation.
The Populists. said Mr.. Creelman.
hope to gain a point by saying that this
convention Is a convention of bankers,
millionaires and corporation lawyers. After
looking over the list of delegates l discover
this to be false. and find that there will
be fewer of that class OF men than were
in attendance at the Chicago convention"
Mr.. Creelman believes that the nominal
ton OF a sound-money candidate will have
an immense influence. as II will provide a
means OF voting to Democrats who are un-
