MIGHTY SILVER PHALANX
A Plan to Present a Solid Front
Next Fall.
CONFERENCES IN PROGRESS
Democratic, Republican aud Popu-
list White Metal Men May Join
Victory in the Congress
sional Contests Means Triumph
of the Cause in 1900

prominent member of the silver
faction of the Republican party made
a statement yesterday that it was not
true that a manifesto was being pre-
pared with a view to issuing it within
the next few DAYS.
He said there had been several in
formal talks among silver men, repre-
senting both the silver Republicans.
the Democrats and POpulists, but that
no conclusions had been reached along
any particular line OF policy.
Further conferences will be held from
time to time. and the ultimate result
viii probably be the formulation of
some plan that will amalgamate the
silver forces into an harmonious whole,
for the purpose of looking after their
common interests in the approaching
Congressional campaign.
The friends of silver see nothing IN
the promises of the present Admins
tration favorable either TO silver or to
International bimetallism. They be-
lieve that while other issues will be be-
fore the people in the coming Congress
sional contest, the silver question will
still be the question OF paramount inn
portance, and should be kept constant
~ before the people of the country.
With all their forces working in thor
ough harmony. the friends OF silver are
confident that the campaign will result
in the Fifty-sIXta Congress being large
ly Democrats. and with the House
pledged TO the rehabilitation of silTer
as one of the money metals of the
United States. and the Senate, already
of that inclination. the settlement Of
the money problem will soon be reach
ed. OF course, any action taken by the
Fifty-sixth Congress looking TO the free
coinage of silver would meet with the
veto of the present occupant OF the
White House; but the fact remains that
if on the money issue the Democrats
are able to carry the next House, it
will be a great step towards carrying
the election of 1900, when, with the i'm
petus gained by controlling the House,
the silver forces will be able to put a
friend of silver in the Executive Man
sion. 1t is towards the consummation
of this desirable end that the most en-
ergetic efforts of the silver men of all
parties are to be directed.
The campaign this year will not be a
preliminary skirmish; it will be bat
tIe-royal in which the silver men con-
fidently believe they viii put the gold
monometallists utterly to rout, and
have them OR the run when the next
Presidential campaign begins.
