AS to the Kentucky delegation the
| following tells its own story:
LOUISVILLE, Ky, April 1G, 1886.
I'm MY opinion, the delegation from
Kentucky to the National Democratic
Convention will be composed of 20
sound money men and 6 free silver
men. The sound money men will, OF
course, be for Carlisle for President
A. j. CARROLL.
The Information from Illinois, from
all sources, agrees that q silver dele.
CATION will represent that State at the
national convention.
From Tennessee comes the following
from j. Douglass Anderson, secretary
Of the State Democratic executive com
mittee
About Is out OF the 96 counties have
selected delegates to the national con-
vention. All of these counties have
instructed for free silver except three,
which are uninstructed for local rca-
sons, but they will vote for silver.
Not county in the State will instruct
against silver. Each congression4!
district recommends to the State con-
| vention two mon as delegates to Chi
cagO, and the convention passes on
these recommendations and elects four
moro from the State at large. All the
delegates will get their Instructions
from the State convention, and the
delegation will vote as a unit. There
will be no gold mon in the convention,
except by courtesy, and they will make
no effort t. go contrary to their 10.
structions."
From The replies of half dozen
well-informed gentlemen in Georgia,
all Of whom agree in the main, but
seem at sea with reference to the
adoption of the unit rule, the version of
Hon. a. G.. McCurry Is here given. He
will be- one OF the most promising
leaders Of the new senate and is an
active candidate for president of the
body. He says:
In my opinion the State convention
will certainly adopt the unit rule
One district of the II in Georgia will
elect gold standard delegates, making
the delegation stand 81 to 2, but the
State will vote as unit, and that
means Goorgia's 26 votes will be cast
IN favor OF the restoration OF silver to
its place az primary money"
Franklin 2. Owon, chairman of the
Rhode Island State committee, reports
that that State will sond 'sound"
money delegation to the Chicago cou-
vention. From Massachusetts, the in
formation is that tho delegation from
that State will favor the same The
same seems true as to the Now Hamp-
shire delegation, while from Maine
will go split delegation, the delegates
at large, however, favoring "sonnd"
money, it is thought. The New York
delegates will be unit for the gold
standard. The same will very likely
be the case rs to the Pennsylvania and
Maryland delegations. South Caro-
lima will send solid silver delegation.
Governor Evans, among others, re.
sponds to the Journals request for in
formation, and says:
Our State is unit already on the
money question. There Is no possible
chance Of q delegate going from South
Carolina who is not unalterably and
unequivocally in favor of the free
coinage OF silver at lG to /. They will
support no candidate or platform not
indorsing this cposiLiOn. No instruc-
lions will be givon and none but true
mon having the confidence OF the pco.
pie will be elected as delegates in
Chicago"
AS to tho North Carolina delegation
those telcgraphed seem to agree that
at Chicago that StaJo will also be re-
presented by gentlemen fav0riug free
coinage vt Is to |. Possibly two thirds
Of the Virginia delegation viii favor
free silver.
Minnesota, it is rcported, will sond a
y sound money delegation, Kansas
will sund q split delegation.
AS to the Now Jersey delegation, it |
will be for q single money st ,ndurd. |
The sumo is reported as to the Wiscon-
sin delegation.
Connecticut, it Is claimed, will send |
q sound money delegation. Florida |
seems In doubt. Wyoming will send a
divided delegation, somo authorities
think, though tho majority incline to
tho belief that the delegation from that |
State will favor free silver.
Ohio. it Is claimed, will send g.
