being the first prominent opponent of
the silver idea who will attempt to in.
fuence the approaching Democratic
convention to reach the city. Mr..
Eckels says that he does not consider
the gold cause as lost by any means for
the reason that he cannot believe that
the delegates will refuse to listen to
reason. He thinks the Southern dele
gates do not yet fully realize the magni-
tude Of the position they are about to
assume, or how it will affect. the bust.
ness Of the country, if they persist in a
declaration for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. This, he is of opin.
ion, can and will be made SO clear to
them by the business men Of the coun.
try that they will hesitate and a suffi.
cient number Of them change their
minds to alter the result.

SARATOGA, N. Y, June 26.-The
Democratic state convention that con-
vened during the morning and ad-
journed in the afternoon has put itself
on record on the financial platform and
has selected it's delegates to the national
convention, but in doing these things
it has followed out the predictions Of
weeks ago and has not created any SEN
sation or even mild surprise. It has de-
clined to name its electors, has not put
itself on record on any state issue, and
has left the selection of a state commit
tee until the next state convention.
These things have all been done at the
instance of the leaders and with the
avowed purpose Of placing the party in
such position that no matter what the
platform Of the national party is 1t can
be supported by the electors and the
party in this state. -
The delegates at large are David B.
Hill, Roswell P. Flower, Edward MUIR
ply, Jr., and Frederick R. Coudert. :

WATERLOO, Ia, June 30.-Ex- Gov

'"Mr. Whitney is entirely right in his

on the part Of those who will represent
the silver sentiment Of the South and
West in the Chicago convention to fur

SILVER MEN AT WORK
TO MEET DAILY UNTIL THE CHICAGO
! CONVENTION is OVER.

viii Look After Contests and the selec-
( Says 1t Is Too Late to Discuss Matters
With the Gold Men.
CHICAGO, June 30.-The leaders of
the Democratic silver forces in the vari.
ous states are beginning to gather pre-
paratory to their meeting, which will
be held under the auspices Of the BIZ
metallic Democratic national commit
tee. The meeting is not to be Of as gen.
eral character as has been supposed.
1t will be composed in large measure
OF representatives Of the bimetallic com.
mittee, which was organized in Wash
ington last August, and there will also
be present other leading silver Demo-
Gratis to whom invitations have been
especially extended. Commencing at
once meetings will probably be held
daily until the beginning Of the con-
vention and possibly while the conven-
ton continues, if there appears to be
occasion for them.
To Watch the Cause Of Silver.
Ine general purpose OF Cne meeClngS
is to exercise a supervisory care over
the interests of the silver cause in the
Democratic convention. The confer.
ence was first decided upon two months
ago, when the silver people were not so
sure of being able to control the conven-
tion as they now are, and when they
considered it possible that it would be
necessary in the protection of their in
terests to keep an eye upon the proceed
ings Of the national Democratic COM
mittee. It was considered important at
that time
That the Silver People
should have such a perfect understand
ing that there would be no doubtful
moves made in the convention or else
where. Now they profess to feel SO
sure Of their ground that they do not
longer feel the necessity for such eau
tion. Among the matters to which
they do propose to give their attention
are the contests for seats in the conven-
ticn made by silver men and the selec-
tion of temporary chairman Of the
convention, and, possibly, later, to the
preparation Of a platform, and, If neces-
sary, the selection of candidates.

The Platform Approved.
The platform adopted by the Repubh-
can national convention has received my
careful consideration, and has my ap-
proval. 1t is matter of qualification to
me, as am sure it must be to you, and
Republicans everywhere and to all our
people that expression of its declaration
of principles is SO direct, clear and en-
phatic. They are too plain and positive
to leave any chance for doubt or question
as to their purport and meaning. But
you will not expect me to discuss it's pro-
visions at length or in any detail at this
time.
More Formal Acceptance Laten
1t will, however, be my duty and p3eas-
ure at some future time, to make to you,
and through you to the great party you
represent, more formal acceptance of the
nomination rendered me. No one could be
