Democratic party OF Texas that he
wants His last pronunolamento Is un-
derstood here TO mean that he has u
program prepared and IS only waiting
for the executive committee TO meet
and adjourn to commence firing. No
good purpose, Democrats here on both
sides coucede, can emanate from the
meeting which Mr.. Hardy proposes TO
head at Galveston, and some Democrats
are bitter enough against the 6lnsle
gold standard chairman to say that he
does not want Democratic unity and
would combine with the Republicans
even rather than have the Democracy
OF Texas go on record this year EN-
phatlcally for free silver.
1t IL n premature move. to sny the
least, and Chairman Hardy would have
been upheld In almost any action his
committee took by conservative sup
porters OF his cause had he not been so
quick to call his committee after the
regular call was made by Chairman
Dudley. The friends of silver and the
gold standard advocates ms well, here
say that they have tine utmost conf
dence IN the patriotism or the eNecu-
tive committee and both sides feel that
the meeting here on the 5th of next

fraud. Silver was as much sound money
as gold. 1t would effectually stop the
raids on the gold reserve II the de-

The senator cited the terms of the
act of 1871 repeating tho purchasing
clause or the Sherman act. passed at u

One Convention May Mean TWO
Democratic Factions.

Waco. Tex. Jan. 1.-THE
interview with Hon. George Clark pub
lished In the Gazette on Sunday, ex-
pressing his views on the proposition
to hold one convention, is discussed
pretty generally. The opposition to
free silver take the same view. as a
rule, and declare that the one con-
vention idea II carried out will result
in a division OF the party. Among the
silver advocates little is being said.
and II II probably safe TO assume that
as far as this city is concerned there
nre few earnest advocates OF II here.
The gold Democrats declare they will
control any state convention of the
party. and hence many OF them are un-
willing to provoke hostility by a de-
parture from old methods. especially as
