ard olney the democratic candidate for
president next year is revealed in a letter
from Boston to the Journal.
General olney's campaign is based on
the theory that he is in favor of imperial
ism while opposed to annexation.
The writer of the letter referred to is
very prominent in democratic politics and
he says the movement in Mr.. Olney's
favor is well under way. 1t is urged In
Mr.. Oney's behalf that he, though gold
democrat in 1896, did not make himself
obnoxious TO the free silver element and
that on the expansion question he would
be an available candidate, being opposed
to the annexation of distant islands to

His views on the acquisition of foreign

Chicago, March ga special dispatch
to the Tribune from Omaha credits j. Ster-
ling Morton with the intention of forming
a new political party, which he declares
will be the greatest political organization
since the formation of the republican
party. Discussing the new party and the
side lights likely TO develop therefrom,
Mr.. Morton says;
Il have the utmost faith in the plan. A
party Will be organized July that will
stand for conservatism eminently. No
doubt the platform will contain some elc-
ments common to all parties, but the key
note Will be conservatism. There is a
vast field for the new party's operations.
THE late war and its momentous is
sues, the struggle of the two great parties
over bimetallism, the rise decline and alb
solute decay of popnlism-al these ele-
ments contribute to a situation as preg-
nant as these which gave birth TO the re-
publican party, My investigation teaches
me that the time is ripe. | do not care 10

venton was held at Omaha Neb., ON the
grounds OF the fransmississippi exposition,
under q call Issued by this league and
under the management of the officers of the
league. The call invited the advocates OF
ali phases Of opinion concerning the cur
rency OF the country TO attend the conyen-
tIon aud take part in an open debate. Many
OF the most conspicuous advocates of the
gold standard, of doubtful standard and
of nat paper money, with no standard of
value came to the meeting delivered ad-
dresses and took part In the general dis
cussiou. The meetings occupied three days
and on each day three sessions were held,
each OF which was attended by a large au-
dience. The debates were printed an the
newspapers and stimulated thought and
discussion on money problems all ov5r the
West and the general effect was no doubt
to make decisive the sound money victories
won about q month latar In the Western
State elections.
Tho general secretary recommends TO the
central council that the work OF tho.league
be continued during the coming year on the
same lines heretofore following, that the
Chicago office be kept open; that the
that such documents be issued
from time TO time as may
appear 10 be called for by tho condition
OF politics and public discussion on the
money question. II, after the opening of
the campaign OF 1900 Il shall eppear that
the platform OF no important political party
contains demand for the abandonment OF
the gold standard or for the issue of any
form of money worth less than IT'S face
value in gold then the league can conclude
that its work has beeen accomplished and
can safely dlshand. Such happy con-
summation does not now look as probable,
as we might wish. but It is not impossible.
II, on the other hand, one OF the great
parties adopts again the Chicago platform
and enters upon n new effort TO seizure the
abandonment OF gold as standard money
and the free and unlimited coinage OF legal
tender silver dollars. then the Sague viii
have a large work at hand. for which it
has been making careful preparations ever
since il was organized three years ago.
Ex-senator Joseph NJ Carey, vice rfesi-
dent for Wyoming. wrote as follows Il
agree with you about the necessity OF
keeping 1p the league. II certainly should
be kept alive until after the next presi-
dental election | am very much afraid

to the money problem into great proml-
nence again"
j, N. Rogers of Colorado and Senator
Carey OF Wyoming addressed the delega-
tlon on the conditions In their States Mr..
Rogers said that in Colorado the people
are beginning to ask whether after all
the gold standard is not better than the
silver. Another phenomenon is the fact
that the silver mines in the last two years
nave turned into gold mines. He believed
mat the time was not far distant when
Colorado viii abandon all forms OF popu-
ism and give up the 16 to / issue. lie did
not believe the change would be imme-
diate.
Senator Carey, on the conditions ia Wy
omlng, says In the mining camps OF that
state there was great interest In the money
question. He spoke of his experiments In
three coal districts. his. efforts 10 explain
the financial situation and the excellent
results. He believed that Wyoming was
to be gold State, The best place for
good work however was in Colorado, Tor
the influence OF that commonwealth was
wide In the Far West.
President J. Sterling Morton Endorsed
the sentiments OF the two previous speak
ers, but added that every species of dis
content was found under the head of III tn
/. He called attention 20 the great oppr-
sitlon TO trusts which also took refuge an
der the free silver movement. All the dis
order and disconnected people IN the West
he believed, had organized under BRYAN
and his SUCCESS in the West was owing 10
that fact. Mr.. Harvey's daily Income, he
had been told, was $500. which showed
that the free silver friends were getting
to work.
CONGRESSMAN Fowler made a vigorous
speech, In which he told the league that IL
never could perfect a banking system un-
I'll the currency became a fixture and
rates OF interest were uniform throughout
the country, as In France and Canada.
