CONTROLLED BY SIl.VERlTES.
Ohio Democrats Give White Metal Re-
publicans One Place,

Columbus, o.. June 80. The state
democratic convention today will be
controlled by the free silver forces. The
state central committee TUESDAY af~
terEC on gave a hearing to the repre-
sertatives of the state league of silver
republicans and finally adopted res
olution recommending that the commit
tee on rules designate one place on
the state ticket - be filled bv the
state league of silver republicans. The
silver republicans when this concession
was made withdrew their objections to
Scrg, Hough and the other candidates
When the delegates met in the after
noon by districts it developed that
there was strong feeling against some
of McLean's managers because of their
attempt to dictate the state nomina-
lions and especially that of Hough for
governor. After the concession to the
free silver republicans it was thought
that fusion would be perfected with
both silver republicans and popuists. but
the committee on rules to which the question
was finally referred could not agree on n
report to give places on the ticket to both
of these elements and the whole question OF
fusion will be referred to the convention
without recommendation. The platform is
for free silver and nothing else. Although
there has been hard fight on Hough as
McLean's candidate for governor il is be-
leved that Hough will be nominated and
that the Mclean men will have their way
In everything. 1t has been decided to make
the temporary organization permanent so n
to proceed with business without delay
ulrich Sloane will preside during the day
and Col W. A. Taylor will he secretary.

contests In favor of the Mclean delegates.

London, June 30.-The next issue

article announcing an important pl-
metallic development ut the hands OF
the United States monetary commis-
sion consisting of Messrs. Wolcott,
Stevenson and Paine, which Will ar
rive here in few days. The commits
sion. according to the National Review
will present to the British government
a Joint statement from France and the
United States declaring their intention
to continue the experiments inaugural
ed in 1873 and claiming our good will
and active concurrence. The National
Review adds:
we are able to announce that Eng
land reply will be that
the govern ment is willing
to reopen the Indian minis
and to make a further substantial con-
tribution to the rehabilitation OF silver
by extending it's use in England and
by increasing the legal tender OF silver
by making silver the hasis Of notes,
empowering the Bank of England to
use its silver reserve and that material
assistance and strong moral support
will be given to the object the United
States and France have in view.
Washington, June 30.-The cable
gram from London giving the sub
stance of an article to appear in the
National Review to the effect that the
United States monetary commission
has met with gratifying success in
France and stating positively that
England will reopen its Indian minis
and otherwise contribute to an eX-
tended use of silver was read with in
terest by the government officials. They
lad known that the commission was
very cordially received in France ana
that the commissioners were greatly
encouraged Ly the strong ard appar-
emily increasing silver sentiment IN
that country, as the president not long
since received from Senator Wolcott a
letter to this effect. The statement
that England is ready to join in the
movement to the extent of reopeninG
her Indian minis is received with
many doubts. The cablegram was
shown to the president and Secretary
Gage, but neither of them cared to
express any opinion on it beyond the
statement that they feared the Review
article was overdrawn.
