WARRINGTON, June D. 1ne SSdIoSmth
in Washington are giving more atteu-
tion to figuring ON the political situa'
ton than they are to Legislation.
The rise of the silver tide makes new
calculations necessary in both parties.
It is not expected to affect McKin-
ley's chances at ST. LOUis in the
slightest, but the framing Of plat
form is becoming to republicans OF
Much grayer concern than 1t was
week ago. They are badly DIVIDED
rs to what is the wisest course. Some
OF the leaders declare that the St.
Louis convention must now come out
unequivocally for the gold standards
| others insist that such declaration
! would make republican success doubt
full Those who hold that plain out
| and out declaration for the gold stand
ard is the proper tiaing largely pro-
domin ate.
Leading democrats are at sea as to
4 who the nominee will be. The old'line
democrats scott at the idea of the con-
vention's choosing Heller. They say
that Teller's nomination would afford
the gold standard democrats the ex'
cuse to bolt. The men with whom the
triumph of silver is paramount see
nothing so improbable or unwise in
Senator Teller's selection. If the re-
pub.icans are to be defeated, they
argue, it must be by a united silver
party. The democracy cannot do it
alone. With such ticket as Teller
and Daniels, many democrats, and re-
! publicans also, predict that every
southern and western state could be
carried Party feeling, however, is so
1 strong that the selection of Senator
Teller to lead the ticket seems i'm
probable. Morrison is now out OF the
way. The silveritss are hardly more
likely to accept Stevenson. BOfes and
Bland are all thatare left. The candi'
\ dacy of both has fallen fiat in Wash
ington, but the preference is for Boies.
THE latest candidate is Senator White,
of California. The California 'delega-
ton sprung his name yesterday, and
express strong hOpeO of his being taken
gup. His silver record is all right, and
\ his knowledge of international affairs
lis also a strong point in his favor.
