Mr.. George p. Keeney. of Washington,

He was on his way to Chicago, where he
goes to confer with leaders of the several
political organizations which are loyal TO
tho silver cause. He has just been in
conference with ScAator Ben Tilnau, Of
South Carolina, and other democratic par
~ leaders.
MIR. Kceney was elected to his present po-
sitions at the St. Louis convention of the
silver party last year, and since that time
he has been prominent il the councils Of
the silver mon. lie has taken an active
part in the several contests in the states
and proposes to watch tie silver cause
closely as it relates to the several party
amalgamatioES.
What Mr.. Keeney Says.
In speaking Of his work and mission Mr..
Keeney said:
THE silver issue IS growing throughout
the country and reports from every sec
tion indicate chat the advocates OF NE
cause are alert and alive TO the necessity
OF work and that effective steps are beng
taken to bring about the objects desired

While the republicans are in trouble over

The outlook from the standpoint of the
