READY TO IGNORE SILVER IL KENTUCKY

IRY TFIRGR APH THE TRTBUNE.l
Louisville Aug. 23.-As Kentucky viii not
elect any State officers except members of the
legislature this year there will be no State con-
vention OF platform. The counties and cities
have already named their candidates in most
instances and these are making the race on
local issues so far as the Democratic party Is
concerned In consequence Of this. there is no
necessity for the party to take stand upon sill
ver and the Kansas City platform hut il can
safely he said that never since 1896 have Ken
tucly Democrats been thoroughly agreed
upon the matter Of ignoring silver and other ex-
trerne doctrines. Charles X. Wheeler and for
rner Governor McCreary, the two leading canai-
dates for United States Senator, have both ex-
pressed rhemeslevs as in favor Of dropping the
silver issue. This is also the feeling of Gov
ernor Beckham State Auditor Coulter and all
the other State officers and party leaders Inc
question Of a third party has not been broached
in Kentucky, and such a movement would nave
no support in this State. especially as The
Courier Journal" and other powerful Democratic
papers have 50 strongly opposed renewing the
Kansas City fight. The only exception is Orey
Woodson member OF the National Democratic
Committee who Is an ardent champion or Bryan
and the Kansas City platform. but he rs strictly
q party man, and would not boit under any CIR
curnstances. There are. however, still a large
number OF Gold Democrats who have aligned
themselves with the Republican party. ana VINO
may not be induced TO return even by a moo-
crate Democratic platform and with compete
ignoring of Bryan.

liver NO LONGER ISSUE IN WISCONSIN
DEMOCRATS WILLING TO GET TOGETHER
TO DEFEAT REPUBLICANS.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.l

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
Milwaukee Wis. Aug. % (SpeciaD.-The silver
issue is dead in Wisconsin and the next Demo-
cratic State convention will abandon the Chi
cago and Kansas City national platforms so far
as they relate to coinage. Wisconsin is a sound
money State and the gold Democrats are as de-
termined as ever to stand out against the free
silver delusion.
E. c. Wall who was chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee when Wisconsin
went Democratic in 1892 and who bolted with
the Gold Democrats. is open in his declaration
that silver is no longer issue and that it will
henceforward cease TO divide the Democrats of
wisconsin His opinion is shared by other lead
ers even those who have for policy yielded TO
the demands of the silverites and supported the
Chicago-Kansas City platform Moreover. some
of the most rabid of the silverites now admit
that the silver question is settled not by force
OF political matoritles. but by financial ana
economic circumstances The great production
of gold In the last few years has knocked out
the ouantative theory to which many silverites
clung tenaciousy for four years, by making
money plenty Prosperity is general, and the
predicted decline in the price of farm products
has not occurred. This non-fulhlment OF cam
paign prophecy. combined with the defeats OF
1895 and 1900 has killed the silver issue.
The bitterness of the silver Democrats against
the gold secessionists. which was pronounced in
the campaign of 1900. is no longer apparent
The fact is that the Democrats of Wisconsin are
now willing to get together for the purpose Of
taking advantage of existing dissensions among
the leaders of the Republican party in their
State They realize that they can do nothing
without unity and consequently there Will be no
third party movement in Wisconsin when silver
is abandoned. as It surely will be by the next
Democratic State Convention

WANT NO THIRD PARTY IN MINNESOTA
tpr TELEGRAPH TO THE TnIBuxE.l

ST. Paul. Minn Aug 23.-Any third party
movement by Democrats owing TO the repuda-
ton OF the platforms of 1896 and 1900 by vari-
ous State conventions. will find little favor in
Minnesota. judging from talks with several
Democrats who are high in the councils OF the
party in this State. They say that while many
OF the Democrats still believe in free silver they
regard the issue dead on4 having been passed
vi on by the public in two national elections.
and they intend TO stick to the regular party.
even II the next national convention ignores
free silver, which they think will he the case.
Minnesota Democrats almost unanimously agree
that Bryan cannot longer be regarded as lead
er Of the part. and that IL would be useless TO
Join any movement To support him again on a
free silver platform. 1t is confidently predicted
that II a convention is held To start third party
movement IL will be very slimly attended.

FREE SILVER DEAD IN INDIANA
ApvocATEs OF IT AFFILIATE
WITH PoPULIsTs.
IRY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


Indianapolis, Aug. 23.-Demoeratic sentiment
throughout Indiana is overwhelmingly in favor
OF abandoning the advocacy OF the free and un-
limited coinage OF silver. and there is no ques-
zion that the party pronouncement in the next
campaign will be confined TO the old issue OF
tariff reform and the issues that have come
from the Spanish-American War. The fact has
been enforced by many statements from party
leaders in the last few weeks. and by the State
party organ. which in a three column article has
declared that free silver is dead. and offered
many reasons why il cannot be revived This
utterance has been followed by numerous let
ters OF approval and by some of disapproval.
hut il is a significant fact that none of the
letters were written by men who have ever
reached positions in the party that would en-
title them TO be called leaders.
The unmistakable tendency Of the party was
recognized a week ago by Chairman Van worms
of the Free Silver Republican Committee, who
announced that Free Silver Republicans would
hereafter affiliate with the Populists. as II was
evident that the Democrats would abandon the
Bryan doctrine and the Bryan leadership. Fol-
lowing this there was a conference Of the Free
Silver Republicans and the Fusion and Middle
of-the-R Road Populists and meeting was called
aor September 1S with view Of uniting an
free silver elements and arranging for cam
vasgn on that issue In many parts or the state
the local Democratic leaders have served nouce
on the Populists that fusion on a free silver
platform is an impossibility in future campaigns
