ES COCKRELL ON SILVER. He Writes a Letter on the Sub- ject of White Metal. COMMENDS BLAND’S INTERVIEW Washington, D.4C., May .—Al-/ and other states have been received | Groceries and Farm Produce! saost the last thing Senator Cockrell did before leaving the city for his| home was to write a letter to ex Senator McLaurid of Mississippi, ox the silver question, a letter that is looked upon by the silver people as a reply to some of the sentiments recently expressed by the president in his letter to Governor Stone. Sen ator Cockrell commends Bland’s re- cent interview, and says. “I have never ceased to wonder why the people of the south add west, furnishing so largely as they do products which are exported for gold, should be willing to submit to all the disadvantages and loss of - gold monometallism and to content themselves with an appreciating and fluctuating currency, constantly ap- preciating more and more in its pur- chasing power and constantly de- preciating the market or selling price and the debt-paying power of their products, while permitting others to reap a profit from the transmutation of the prices of their productions from gold to silver.” Senator Cockrell speaks of an “Avaricious guardianship and selfish dictation of Great Britian,” con- demns the recent issue cf bonds to the Morgan. Belmont Rothchilds syn- dicate “as a burden on this and oth- er generations’ yielding an enor- mous profit, argues against the single gold standard, and adds: “If there are democrats who suppose that our party can stand on a plat- form embodying such doctrine es the single gold standard either through its affirmative strength or through the perplexity of our oppo nents on the same proposition; or, if there are democrats who are willing to turn their party association in the hope that the single gold standard under foregin and plutocratic dicta tion, can win a victory without the aid of either party organization, they should no longer deceive them- selves nor longer refuse to look in the face the results that will follow the defeat, if not the disintegration of the democratic party upon whick the issue that tempts them from their allegiance and allies them with the foreign and plutocratic classes against our own American masses. “If we should be forced away from our traditional doctrine of gound and safe money, ‘honest mon- ey, the gold and silver coinage of the constitution,’ adopted immedi ately after the inauguration of our constitution, and maintained from our infancy as a nation, to our full manhood, and until February 12, 1873, by the wholesome influence and predominance of the principles of our party, independently of all foreign nations, our old antagonist will take the field on the platform which we abandon and upon which ~we have won our victories and gain- ed the confidence of the masses, and neither the votes of reckless demo- cratic nor republicans will avail to stay their march to power. This is as plain as anything possibly could be. At therefore becomes the duty of every democrat, whoever he may be, to consider what such a victory would mean, and in the light ofa proper conception of its results he should deliberately shape his course. So doing he will doubtles determine to battle for the restoration and maintenance of our United States of America (without begging for ibe permission, consent or co-operation of any foreign monarchial or kingly | power), of a sound and safe currency | honest money, the gold and silver coinage of the constitution, upon equal terms, with equal rights; for true bi metallism, our own American system in the interest and for the prosperity of our American citizens, adopted in our infancy as a nation, | and maintained by the influence of | our democratic principles in Febru- ary 12, 1873."

No man 1s better able to hold the democrats in line than Senator Vest. Bold, aggressive, eloquent and popular,he will be more than match for his op ponents. His popularity is not de- pendent op any one idea. He is recognized everywhere as one of the|® ablest statesmen in the country— thoroughly posted cn all questions of national import—and as sound on the great silver question as any man in the party. We would not detract one iota from the popularity and ability of Hon. R. P. Bland, but his popularity has been gained princi. pally by his conetant devotion to one idea—the free coinage of siiver. That 1s not the sum total of his work or attainments,but to that,in a greater measure, his present promi nence in the party is due Again,the idea of selecting a west- ern man as the next democratic can- didate, is rapidly taking hold of the ‘people. To the west and south we must look for the great bulk of the free silver vote. The east is so per- meated with the gold money idea that any candidate from that section will be looked upon with distrust, and it would be almost impossible to concentrate the strength of the party on an eastern man. The south doesn't lay claim to the candidate.If the nomination then goes to a west- ern man, who more competent for the honor than Senator Vest’ Al- ways in touch with the people, and sound on all the great issues that will be prominent in the campaign, his name and fame will rally around him a host of devoted friends and followers who will know no such word as defeat. That Silver Meeting. Jefferson City, Mo., May 16.—The talk of a silver convention seems to have either entirely died out er is gently sleeping, to be awakened at almost any minute. State Treasurer Lon Stephens, who, by the way, has gubernatorial aspirations, and is one of the few State officers who stands hand with the Governor, is rather hopeful that the central committee will call the convention about Aug. 1. “There can be no question,” said he to The Times correpondent last night, “but that an enormous ma- jority of the people throughout the State is demanding that the conven- tion be called. To my own person- al knowledge I know of forty coun- ties that have held meetings and re solved that the State committee call the convention. The trouble is, however,that the committee does not seem to approve of the idea. The question is whether or not enough pressure can be brought to bear to make the members of the central committee call it.” Secretary J. W. Zevely of the State central committee said this morning that there was absolutely nothing new in the matter of calling a silver convention. “I have heard nothing whatever from any of the committee, and can say positively that nothing has been done.” Julian, of Kansas City, who is a | said: “I have heard nothing of any action of | Should it refuse to act we have an-| other card to play.

Egypt Mourns. Springfield, Ill. May 15.—The heavy frost in this section of the State has almost wiped out the very brilliant prospects for a large fruit crop this year. The damage was great and widespread. Grapes, | cherries and the more tender earlier fruits are nearly all badly damaged.

Owensboro, Ky., May} 16.—The | Democratic convention assembled to nominate a railroad commissioner for the First district, comprising thirty- nine of the 119 counties of the State, to-day unanimosly adopted the fol- lowing: “We declare it to be an elementary principle of Democratic faith that both gold and silver coin shall con- stitute the primary money of the country; that both metals shall be received for mintage without dis and at the legal ratio that existed prior to 1873; and we demand the unrestrict ed coinage of both gold and silver at this legal ratio;and that both metals | be declared full legal tender in pay- ment of all debts, public and _pri- vate.” This being the strong Democratic section of Kentucky, the action pos- sesses significance as affecting the probable action of the State conven- tion next month.
