Walsh Says Free Silver Must
be in Democrat Platform.
PLANK In HIGH FAVOR
to Nlr. Walsh silver IL Pop
ular-State Platforms Endorse
it-No Attempt to Influ.
ance Bryan.

Chicago June 11.-Secretary c. "A.
Walsh ,of the democratic national COM
mittee declared Saturday in Chicago
that the national platform would con-
tain an Endorsement of the 16 to is
sue and that there was no disposition
on the part of the leaders of the party
to drop it or hide it.
There is absolutely no foundation
for the report that Chairman Jones is
coming on to Chicago to ask Mr.. Bry-
an to drop silver as an ISSUE" said Mr..
Walsh. "It is absurd. If Mr.. Jones
wanted to drop it he could not.''
Then Mr.. Walsh explained that more
than half of the state conventions al
ready had been held and that in nearly
every one of the state platforms the
party had declared strenuously for the
silver principle.
1t is true that Chairman Jones is
coming to Chicago today. He expects
to remain several days and take hand
in the work at headquarters. It is
known, zoo, that while here he will
meet Mr.. Bryan. The latter will be
here on Wednesday.
But Secretary Walsh is confident that
their meeting will not be held for the
purpose of giving Chairman Jones an
opportunity to convince Mr.. Bryan
that the 16 to 1 ratio proposition.
should be eliminated from the plat
form. Chairman Jones will go on to
Kansas City on Thursday with the COM
mittee on arrangements for the con-
vention.
Work Out Model Platform.
1t is known now. that efforts have
been made in the framing of state plat
forms in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and
Indiana to get one which may be re-
garded as model for the national con-
Sention to follow. Mr.. Bryan helped to
construct the Nebraska platform. AS
Secretary Walsh resides in Iowa he was
the chief architect of the one adopted
there. Coming from Kansas j. G.
johnson, chairman of the executive
committee, helped to build the one on
which the democracy of that state
stands. Together, johnson and Walsh
put the finishing touches on the Inii-
ana PLATFORM. It is now claimed that
from these four platforms enough.
planks may be taken to furnish a ma.
tional declaration of principles that will
satisfy all classes of democrats.
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Walsh are more
interested in plans of organization for
the campaign than in almost any other
subject. They insist that the platform
will be what a majority of the conven-
ton decides to make it. While there is
less aggressive talk now than former
ly about keeping free silver to the
front, any attempt to set it aside
would, they think, precipitate trouble.
A prominent democrat interested in
the so-called Ohio valley bimetallic
league, said during the day that the
elimination of 16 to 1 from the plat
form would cause greater bolt than
was witnessed by those who were at
the convention of 1896.

Many WORKERS to be in the Field.

Secretary Walsh declares that the
management at headquarters will have
100000 workers in the field by the mid
die of August. He said, furthermore,
that this would be new thing SO far
as the national committee is concerned.
Never before has that body started a
campaign with an such organization
behind it. This field work. movement
meets with the approval of Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Walsh says there are 10000 ''hus-
tiers" giving their services to the party
in Iowa already.

RAINS IN NORTHWEST.
Wheat and Small Grain Helped by
Moisture.

Chicago, June 11.-The gloom which
overspread grain dealing centers last
week over the depressing crop reports
from various wheat raising states was
partly relieved yesterday by the news
OF rains in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas,
Illinois and southern Minnesota.
During the last five days of last week
the price of wheat rose cents on ac-
count of unfavorable crop reports. It
was said that while there was expected
crop of spring wheat of fully 25O,OO0,-
600 bushels, the loss on account of
drought and insects would be not less
than 50,000,000 bushels in Illinois, Mich
igan, Ohio and Indiana over the predic-
tions of last fall.
In the northwest there was bad
spring weather. Drought brought a
gloomy outlook to the wheat raisers,
tho there was partial breaking of
the dry spell in the first three days of
this month. The present outlook, how
ever, for grains is much brighter than
it was a week ago.
Saturday night a generous rain.
storm covered the larger portion of Ne
braska, being heaviest in the southern
and eastern portions of the state. In
southwestern Nebraska rain was very
badly needed, and small grain was suf-
fering thru continued drought, hot
weather and dry winds. The precipi-
tation will prove of inestimable value
and will greatly increase the yield in
the south central portion of the state,
where as much as two and one-half in
ches of rain fell. In the northern and
northwestern parts of the state rain
was accompanied by heavy winds that
did some slight damage to crops. Con-
servative estimates from all over the
state place the yield at trifle above
normal. The ravages of the chinch
bugs, which are particularly destruct-
i've in dry seasons, will be much retard-
ed by the rainfall.
Damage at Des 3Ioincs.
The storm was quite severe thru the
Des Moines Valley. There was no loss
of life, but farmhouses, barns and sheds
suffered quite generally. The state ca
pitol building at Des Moines was dam
aged to the extent of 81, 900 thru guam
titles of slate being blown off the roof.
Street car service in that city was Sc
riously impeded thru broken trolley
wires and debris from strees.
