NGT FOR CAMPBELL.
Ills Ratio Theory Does Not Stir the
silver Men.

silver Men.
The latest statement of Ex-Governor
Campbell that he would accept nomina-
ton at Chicago, even on a silver platform,
but that he doesn't want the honor at ali,
creates no comment and little interest at
the Capitol. The silver men, from conversa-
tions with some of them this morning, view
the announcement coldly and indiferently.
Their feeling may be summed up IN the re-
mark OF Representative Terry of Arkansas,
who said There is no danger that Mr..
Campbell viii be nominated. We will nom
inatc a silver man and he Will beat Nc
kinley."
The majority of the others seen did not
care to have their names used as they did
not want 10 offend so good and popular 4
democrat as Campbell, but they said that
straight silver man would be the nominee.
Ex-Governor Camp bells ideas on interna-
tional bimetallsIn do not suit any of them.
