SILyERITEs ~ PROPHEIS.
They viii Cause Congress to Remain in
session Until After the Conventions,

WASHINGTON. May lS.-Special.-The
silver Democrats in Congress declare that
the prospect OF a national Democratic
platform, In favor OF free coinage is
becoming brighter every day
They claim that Illinois and Ohio will
both declare for silver, and that the
action OF these States will not only Offset
the action OF the Michigan convention,
but will set an example 10 other States
OF the Northwest which is certain 10 be
followed.
II will be remembered however, that
these same silver congressman In both
houses col rted Michigan for silver up
20 the very moment that the conventiCs
began TO vote upon the question. When
thcv found they were mistaken. they at
once raised the cry OF fraud and charged
that the influence OF the administration
had been strong enough TO prevent an
expression Of popular will
There Is some possibility. therefore,
that the silver prophets. Ike the govern
rnent weather-forecasters. NAV nnd tnem-
selves again mistaken, regarding several
States 10 which they now point as certain
10 declare for silver.
Should this prove 10 be the case. there
will probably /, q repetition OF all the
charges which were made concerning
the Michigan convention.
There is one thing a silver avodcate,
whether he call himself q Republican,
Democrat or Populist. Will not admit
and that IS that by any possibility MS
Judgment can be I'm error II is therefore
not at all improbable that they will con-
unue 20 claim the Democratic Convention,
until the votes OF the delegates make II
apparent that the party is not IN favor
OF cheap money.
II is now expected that the silver men
will oppose the adjournment OF Congress
until after the conventions meet. but
what they are TO accomplish by such a
proceeding II IS difficult 10 determine.
TIE suppoSition. however. is that by
assuming general attitude of defiance,
and. possibly. by precipitating ilnan-
cial discussion. they may In some way
affect the action of the conventions.
