FREE SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Will Become Lincoln Republicans
and More Democratic.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 21.-Formal
announcement of the proposed change in
the title of the Silver Republican party
was made to-day in a document setting
forth the party platform, issued by Exec
utive Agent Corser. The announcement
states:
Lincoln Republicans" are 90 succeed
Free Silver Republicans" and the Ma
tional Silver Republican party is to give
way to the Lincoln Republican party. The
party of one issue is 10 become the party
of several issues, and the issue to which
it owes it's origin is to be pushed INFO
the background. While changing It's name
it becomes more Democratic than ever
and, its leaders hope. more able to rem
der effective service to ''the regenerated
democracy" than in 1896.
The transformation scene is TO take
place at Kansas city, July 4, when the
national conventions of both the Free Sil-
yer Republicans and the Democratic par
ties are In session.
Ii is alleged in the statement that the
Republicans of to-day are different In all
but name from the Republicans of LIN
coins time.
E. s. Corser. who issued the manifesto
has acted in the capacity OF official inter
mediary between the national organiza-
tions of the various anti-Republican par
ties, and believes that the result of pre-
liminary work accomplished by the Lin
coin Republican League will lead to adop-
tion at Kansas City by the Silver Repub-
licans of platform, the plans of which
have been already formulated, glorifying
Lincoln's memory, incidentally excoriat-
ing President Mckinley and his adminis-
tration, and predicting the nomination of
Bryan and Towne by the Democratic Con-
Vention.
Lincoln Republican League workers
have been especially active in Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and Minnesota, the latter
state being the center of the movement.
