the party man, as he ponders between Palmer
and Bryan before casting his vote. which is the
true Democrat and which describes an honest
dollar honestly.
Mr.. Bynum this morning was in a happy frar,e
of mind He said: The success of the Sound
Money Convention has FAR exceeded the most
sanguine expectations cf its promoters. I con-
slider its achievement the marvel of American
political history. The organization perfected Is
temporary affair. We have planted the 81
of true Democracy and glorious will be the pro-
ductive fruit. The banner of Democracy has
been at last properly inscribed and we will gall
| lantly march behind it TO ultimate success It
is my opinion that the ticket dominated yester-
day. representing 1t does the Plue and the
Gray, signifying Union fcrever could not have
been improved The character of the two men is
beyond reproach. They represent true soldiery
and honest public servants"
In reply to a question rs to how many OF tho
States represented in the Convention will place
electoral tickets IN the leld Mr.. Iynum SAID: Il
think nearly every State will do so. OF course
in few sections, where the is absolutely
hopeless. electoral ticket will be named We
will make our fight whare it will do the most
good"
Mr.. Bynum said that .he various state organi-
cations would begin operations a.: once lie was
asked TO make an estimate on the total vote the
! ticket would likely receive. and replied: AL
though 1t is too early TO give any figures of our
strength, still believe 100000 votes is
servative estimate Of what Palmer and BucSner
will receive in November"
Mr. Bynum expects to start for Chicago in q
day two. and will go 70 NcwYork to secure
quarters for the organization as soon after that
as possible. He says that every available
speaker who is sound on the sound d-money ques-
| ton will be enlisted In the cause of the National
| Democratic party. and that the fight will he
forced to the finish. He will devote his entire
time to the contest.
It has not yet been decided what Southern
orator will perform the notification office for
| Senator Palmer. the duty being assigned to John
r. Fellows for Ex-Governor Buckner.
The Monument Regents in charge OF the
monument here did graceful act, which, It
! seems was much appreciated by the eX-Confed-
crate veterans in attendance on the Convention
| 1t Is one Of the rules Of the monument ex-sol-
diers of the Union side to have the privilege OK
the elevator free of charge The Regents know
! ing that the city would contain many OF their OLD
fOemen during the week, extended the privilege.
so that every wearer Of the gray had the same
privilege. Many of them availed themselves OF
! the opportunity to view the city from that great
height and expressed pleasure at the courtesy
shown and it was general remark tnat one
more evidence of fading sectionalism had peen
/ chalked UP to the credit Of the country.
/ 1t has been decided by the National Demo-
cratic State Committee not 10 put up state
ticket This was done both as an offer to the
silverltes for a reunion after election on sound
money basis and also in order TO dlsarm the
| state nominees on the regular ticket, except as
far a =; Shiyey IL concerned. The war Wnl be eX-
/ tended TO him, but the other candidates VIII
have to treat the sound-moneV men with dis
tinpuished consideration under fear OF being
swamned There will be little condemnation

silverite candidates, several or whom defeated
for the same offices two years ago, and now re-
