About Their Defeat

CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-The Democratic

Sherman House. discussing matters per-
tanning TO organization, ways and means
and administration affairs of the COM
mittee. The committee will meet again
tomorrow. and. It is expected. will not
get through with the business on hand
before night.
Nothing was said about a meeting OF
the national committee. but 1t is the
opinion of most Of the national commit
teemen that the full committee will be
called to meet in Washington on Feb
ruary 22, and that the National Demo-
cratic Convention will be held the latter
part of May or the first of June. Mr.
Jones would say nothing about calling
the committee
The committeeman were very uncom-
municative as TO what was done at the
meeting. Secretary Charles A. Walsh said
the committee had transacted no bust
ness OF interest or Importance and had
only considered administrative affairs.
After the meeting had adjourned. how
ever, some of the committeeman con-
tinued the discussion Of the probable
situation next year. fhey disclosed tire
fact that a considerable part OF the COM
mittee'S sitting had been devoted TO dis
cussing the probable effect OF high prices
on the campaign OF 1900. II was said that
several members Of the committee are OF
the opinion that if present prices Of man
ufactured products are maintained next
year. with plenty of work in sight, the
Democrats will have a hard row TO
hoe" unless they can show farmers and
workingmen they are not getting an
equivalent increase for their farm pro-
ducts and labor.
1t is the purpose of some OF the com
mitteemen 10 organize bureau Of infOr-
nation and education whose duty IL shall

facturing, selling prices TO JObbers and

wages paid and cost of raw material.
They believe that they will be able TO
show that the present high prices are
the result Of trusts and combinations and
that workingmen have been given but q
small proportion of the increase in selling
values.
This idea has assumed such tangible
form that IL is predicted w. III. (Coin)
