silver Men Will Make Gallant
Fight.

DETROIT, Mich, July 27.-The Demo-
cratic state central committee will meet
here tomorrow afternoon and there are
indications that the meeting will have
about it some features similar to those
which distinguished the gatherings of the
Michigan Democrats at Chicago during
the national convention. The silver wing
of the committee seem determined to car
ny their victory to the point of securing
the craftsmanship of the committee, which
is to be relinquished by Elliott G. Steven
son, but the sound money men seem con-
fident of preventing this. Mr.. Stevenson
says positively that Daniel j. Campau
shall not succeed him, although he does
not know who the new chairman will be-
Mr.. Campau was reelected Michigan
member of the national committee after
Stevenson had been selected by the first
caucus of Michigan members. 1t is not
all certain that the silver men will be
able to control the action of the COM

chosen by the same Democratic state con-
vention which selected the sound money

were unseated by the silverites to give
the white metal men a majority of the

BUTLER IN CHARGE.
Affairs of the Peoples Party Turned
Over to Him.


ST. LOUIS, July 27.-The affairs Of
the Peoples party are now in the
hands of Senator Butler, of North
Carolina. the chairman of the national
committee Today, the nine members
of the retiring Populist executive COM
mittee made a formal settlement with
the new committee. They turned over
to Chairman Butler and Secretary
Edgerton all the money on hand and
their accounts were approved.
Very few of the new members re-
manned in the city for the Monday
meeting. They authorized Chairman
Butler and Secretary Edgerton to
audit the accounts and FASTENED home
to prepare for the campaign.
The Silver party has established a
temporary headquarters in the Cor
coran building, Washington, D. c.
Future events will determine whether
or not it will be continued there. Vice
Chairman Stevens, who will have ac-
tive charge of the headquarters and
who will relieve Chairman Lane of
much of the work connected with the
coming campaign, will leave for the
capitol city in short time.
The selection of the Populist head
quarters has been left to Chairman

matter will probably not be made for
several weeks.
Charles B. Lane. chairman of the
Silver national committee left last
night for his home in California. He
will stop at Lincoln. Neb. and a hold
a conference with Mr.. Bryan.
While it has not yet been definitely
decided, there will probably be no
formal notification of Bryan by either
the Populists or silver men. 1t was
learned from a prominent western
member of the silver national COM
mittee that it is the intention of both
the Silver men and the PoDulist com
mfttee to waive the usual formal noti-
fication until the meeting in New
York at which Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
ton for presidency will be announced.
A proposition looking to the fusion
of the two parties in Missouri on the
state ticket has, it is stated, been
made by the Populists to the Demo-
cratic leaders who have it under con-
sideration. AS the price for this fu-
sion, the Populists are said to have de-
manded that they be given eight out
of the seventeen presidential electors
in the state. If this concession is not
made the Populists will put a state
ticket in the field at their convention
which will be held at Sedalia next
Thursday.

LETTER FROM CLEVELAND TO La
MAR IN 1892.
"our Southern Friends III They Per-
sist, Will Be Left Alone with
Their Free Coinage. ae

NEW ORLEANS. July 27-The Pr
cayune special from Jacksonville, Miss,
quotes letter written by President
Cleveland on May 1, 1892 on the eve of
the Democratic convention of that year,
TO the late L. @. c. Lamar, in which the
president, discussing his probable can
didacy, says:
L can easily be disposed of either by
the selection of a candidate more avail
able or by the adoption of campaign
policy on the financial question, which
l am not willing to further In the first
case L shall be a happy helper; in the
second 1 shall sadly await the an
nouncement of a party defeat which
will be predetermined. Our southern
friends, if they persist, will be left alone
with their free coinage heresy. The
danger is that another southern idea
and a charge of heedlessness for the
public safety on the financial queS-
ton will do service in the place of the
memories of the civil war. The ques
ton is often and justiiably put by
friendly southerners: Can Cleveland
carry New York? The answer is ready
as to Cleveland or any other man if
the Democracy is at all weak on the
coinage question. AS one who loves his
country and believes that her interest
is bound up in Democratic supremacy,
I am most uncomfortable and unhappy
in the fear that the south will not see
Until too late the danger of their mar
ring all. If L should read this 1 hardly
think | should send it, but it goes la
den with affection and the most tender
memories Yours affectionately,
