Washington Letter.


From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. January 11.-lf the silver
forces Of the country are thoroughly united
they can win. That has been admitted by anti
silver men. If the silver forces are not united,
it will not be the fault of the men who are at
the head of the National Committees of the
three parties which advocated the free coinage
OF silver in the last National Campaign. As a
result of II number of conferences between
Chairman JON ), OF the Democratic National
Committee Chairman Butler, of the Pupulist
National Committee, and Chairman TOwnc, of
the silver Republican National Committee, II
joint address 10 the friends of silver has been
prepared and will be widely circulated, with a
view 10 secure cooperative action in every
Congressional District in which there are
organizations of two or more of these parties,
in this years campaign. In other words, the
object is to secure the election of Il silver Rep
rcsentaiive in every Congressional District
which has majority of silver voters. If the
spirit of this address is accepted and put into
practical effect by the voters, there is no doubt
that a majority OF the next House will be silver
men.
The long and determined fight in the Fifty
Third Congress over the attempt to stop specu-
Iating on options may be renewed, as Repre-
sentative Sullivan, of Mo, has introduced an
anti-option bill along the same lines as the old
Hatch bill that was only defeated after long
and costly struggle in which all the stock and
grain exchanges of the country united to fight
the bill.
Enough lies to fill big book have been print
ed about the selection of the Democratic Con-
gressonal Campaign Committee, all OF them
with one tCndcnCy-an effort to make it appear
that plot existed to elect an anti-siver Chair
man OF this Committee Such talk was, OF
course, ridiculous to those who knew the facts,
although it may have gulled some others. There
has been no plot. and the method by which
members of the Committee are selected are
such that any plot would he next to impossible.
With the exception of member from Tenn,
all of the members OF the Committee have been
selected, aud this week Chairman and Secre-
tary will be elected and there is not the sig hit
est doubt that both will be pronounced silver
men. Instead Of silver having been weakened
on the Committee it has really beel strength
encd. Senator Gray, of Delaware, who was a
member OF the old Committee, was not selected
Tor the new one, solely because of his rcpudia-
tipu of the Chicago platform. In his place
Senator Rawns, of Utah, was selected, and
there is surely not stronger silver man in
either branch OF Congress than he is. Another
new member Of the Committee is Senator
C'ckrri, of No, whose pronounced silver
! views are known all over the country. Sena-
tors MitchclI of Wis; Murphy, OF n. Y, and
smith, o! y. } who were on the old Committees
were selected for the new Committee. They
are not silver men personally, but their party
/ loyalty caused them TO support Mr.. Bryan and
the Chicago platform, and there was no just

Probably Al Fatal Accident.

Ex-Sheriff James 5. Calder was very serious
ly and probably fatally injured at his home,
near Federal Hill, on Tuesday morning. He
was engaged in loading straw, which was be
ing furked up to him by his son, when he
slipped and fell to the ground distance of ten
or twelve feet, striking upon his head and
rendering him unconscious. He was imme-
diatey removed to the house and medical aid
summoned. Restoratives were applied, but
our latest Information leaves him in a very
precarious condition. Mr.. Calder is about
sixty years OF age, and was formerly the tax
collector for the fourth district, and served as
Sheriff Of Hartford county from November 9Th,
| 1891, to November 18Th, 1893, when he was
succeeded by Mr.. VIM. Oliver Hughes. He
was frequent visitor to Bel Air and was in
| town on Monday.
