An unnamed prominent Democrat Is quoted
as making these statements as TO the probable
action of the Democratic State Convention which
meets In Trenton on Thursday of next week:
While we will make desperate attempt to get as
.,rong sound money plank in our platform as the
Republicans put in their platform at the recent con-
ventlon we are not at all certain OF success
We are simply hopeful. We may have 10 be salts
fed with straddle. and poor sort OF stradae al
istc element In the convention, and you know that
element will be for free silver, / understand the
Populsts have told of the local leaders OF our
PARTY that would declare for free coinage they
would not put up ticket Of their own next iail put

would naturally apply only 10 the State and Con-
yess elections am also given 10 understan1 That
the Populs,s. in case the Democracy OF -New-JeIsey
declared for free silver would not put an electoral
ticket In the field.
All of which is laughable. Senator Smith ana
few others will have to provide the funds to
ay the expenses. and the delegates to the State
Invention will do Just as they are bid. If there
any breeze in the convention 1t will be ar
nged beforehand for the purpose Of giving out
lers a notion that the leaders had a terrible
B restraining or overthrowing the Populistic
,ment Such stories as that quoted above are
obably intended to pave the way for bur-
que Of that kind.
The average price paid by vote-buyers at cleo
