WHAT MAY RESULT —.__—_ Two important political meetings are booked for this town this month. The democratic national committee: will fix the time and place for holding the next na- tional convention of that party, and the pepulist national committee will follow with a like performance for that party. The populists have decided to go last, In the hope of being able to adjust both their platform and their ticket to the acceptance of discontented members of the two old parties. They are expecting recruits from both. Populist Calculations. The populist calculation was something like this: Both the republicans and the democrats will declare virtually for gold. The deliverances will be adroltly worded, but by reading between the lines the true meaning can be gathered. The republican job will be the better executed of the two. That party has the confidence of the bus- iness world, and a straddle from it will be accepted as a harmless bit of buncombe. The eest will take no alarm. It will con- cede the necessity of coddling the west a little. The performance will carry no danger. It will be sufficient, however, to keep many of the western silver men in line, and so the object of the straddle—the only object—will be accomplished. Democrats Can’t Straddle Again. The democrats, on the other hand, will have a very hard row to hoe. They have as @ party practically no credit with the bust- ness world. Their divisions all stand plainly revealed. They won in 1892 on a straddle. The west and the south were soothed and enthused with silver interpretations of the financial platform, while the east was told that with Mr. Cleveland in the White House the party would not be permitted to get gay. Silver in those cireumstances could not win, no matter how urgent and threatening the south and the west in Congress might he- come. That straddle won, but that history cannot be repeated. The east has seen how very much in earnest the south and the west are on the silver question, and it will be afraid of another deliverance susceptible in any quarter of a free coinage interpreta- tion. It will insist on a platform declaring even more strengly for the gold policy than the republican platform may do. A Possible Bolt. Will the democrats of the south stand this? They supply two-thirds of the votes necessary to the election of a President. But will they use this power at its full face value in the national convention? They will be in the minority there. The east will be able to dictate both the platform and the ticket, and the populists believe that this power will be exercised. Southern demo- crats, therefore, will be forced, to a choice between accepting a gold platform, to which no meaning comforting to them can.attach, or walking out of the convention. If they accept the platfotin;’ they’ surrender the silver cause; if they, bolt the action of the convention, they must set up for them- selves, or make an alliance with other sup- porters of silver numerous enough to hold out the hope of success at the polls. The Silver Demecrats. Assuming a bolt by the southern demo- crats, the populists proceed then to exam- ine the outlook of those men. What could they hope to accomplish by simply putting a ticket of their own in.the fleld on a plat- form of their wn? It would be foredoom- ed to defeat. Some of the western repub- licans would support it, but not in numbers sufficient to insure success. The republican platform will be constructed so as to hold the majority of the silver contingent of that party. Divided action by the friends of silver, therefore, would result in a most prenounced winning for gold under the banner of the republicans. The only hope for ‘silver will be in a union of all of its friends in support of a ticket and a platform made acceptable to them in a national convention held with that object Pparamountly in view,, . The Expected Offer. At this point the populists will. offer themselves and their organization to the cause. A republican ticket will be in the fleld on a gold platform. The Cleveland wirg of the democracy will be in the field with a ticket on a gold platform. The out- and-out silver man will have no snug place to lay his head, unless he betake himself to the populist camp. There he'll find hope and shelter, and the company of those who are battling, like himself, for the triumph of silver. Why put a second ticket in the field and label it democratic? What’s in a name, except to prevent confusion? A vic- tory for silver won under any name will be sweet. The populist organization is com- plete in every state and territory, and this utilized in support of a silver ticket would prevent any delay in the inauguration of the campaign. These considerations, and others, lead the populists to claim that their national convention next year will be quite as interesting as that of either of the two old parties. —————o+___ Officers Elected.

Tarif Bill Not Takgn’Up—-A Free ‘Be Ofter- + ed — Other Matters, Silver Amendment { —+ The Senate finance committee adjourned at 12:30 until tomorrow, Ne action was taken and no vote was had.;;The bond bill was discussed, but the tariff bill was not teken up. Whfte and Wolgott were not present. . Senator Vest was not present, so that the free silver men and the anti-silver men were a tie. It {s understood that the in- tenticn of the silver men ts to report either @ free coinage substitute cr amendment to the bond bill, probably an -amendment. After the regular meeting of the committee the republican members held a conference in the committee room, and.the democrats conferred in.the District committee room. Senator Jones of Nevada went with the democrats, as the conference was consid- ered a silver conference more than any- thing else. The ccnference of the silver advocates on the committee resulted in a unanimous de- cision to insist upon an amendment in the naturo of » substitute providing for free coinage and the elimination of all author- ity for the issvance of bonds. Senator Jones of Arkansas was delegated to pre- pare @ measure in accordance with these views to be submitted to a full meeting of the committee as soon as it can be com- pleted. There is hope that the bill can re- celve final consideration at the hands of the committee in time to permit reporting to the Senate tomorrow, but this may not be accomplished. ‘The absentees will be paired when a vote is reached in committee. ‘The democratic and silver members con- cluded their conference before 2 o'clock, but the republican anti-free coinage mem- bers continued their during the afternoon. It is quite definitely determined, however, that they will make a minority report, and it is more than probable that they will in- dorse the House bill without amendment. The majority of the republicans will op- pose the reporting of the substitute bill to- morrow, but will aske that the report be postponed until Tuesday next. A National System of Const Defenses. Senator Squire, chairman of the commit- tee on coast defenses of the Senate, has called a meeting of the committee at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. Gen. Craighill, chief of engineers, U. 8. A., will be present to give the committee information and ad- vice upon the bill introduced by Senator Squire to provide for a national system of coast defenses.

POLITICAL UNREST Leaders Are Uncertain as to Their Fature Action. PARTY DISAFFECTION IN THE SOUTH Populists May Benefit or a New Party Be Formed. FEELING OF SILVER MEN ‘There has probably never been a time in the history of Washington when the po- Mtical leaders, especially those from the west, northwest, south and southwest, were so uncertain as to the future as now. To all appearances the party lines are as closely drawn as ever, but there is an undercurrent which tells more plainly than anything else that rebillion is brewing in the ranks of the two old parties, and the prediction has been made by a great po- litical leader that evidences of it will be seen at an early day. This had reference to the party lines in the halls of Congress, where there is likely to be less breaking away from the ranks than elsewhere. The other night a prominent Congress- man asked a Star reporter to call at his recom, es he dedired to talk with him. In the course of a long and interesting con- versation he told many things of pecullar import which he had gathered from con- ferences in the halls of Congress. He is serving his third term as a Congressman, and each time has been elected as a dem: crat. He expects to remain a democrat, unless he catches the fever which seems to be taking hold more freely than ever, and the trend of his remarks caused a doubt as to his fealty to his party. By that is meant fealty under any and all circumstances, no matter to what policy the party becomes committed. He first said that he was billed to make a political speech in his district at an early date, and that he had no more idea what to say or do than a pig. He wanted advice, and debated matters with the reporter with as much earnestness as if he had met an opponent on the stump. He is not the man to cater to the wishes. of his constituents, but he appeared to be honestly in doubt and in as much distress as a ship with all of her motive power gone and a bad leak sprung. Surprising Revela‘ions. His revelations were surprising and even sensational. He gave the names of numer- ous leaders of the two old parties who had told him that they did not expect to remain with the old ships which they had sailed with so long, unless there were changes in the commanders and in the planks of the veesels. He recurred to the Memphis silver convention and told the whole history of how it came about. Then he stated as a fact that there was a distinct compact among the leaders of that convention that tkey would desert the democratic party if it failed to give silver the showing which they demand. “I know what I am talking about,” he said, earnestly, “because the men have told me so with their own lips. They are not publicly proclaiming their in- tentions, preferring to remain in the party with the hope that they will control it, in- stead of being controlled. It is not only this way with the silver men, but the gold men stand ready to pull out from the old skip if things do not suit them. Senator Morgan and Speaker Crisp are about the only two free silver men I know. who de- clare they will stick to the party through thick and thin. “Now that 1s how it stands in democratic ranks. In republican ranks it is the same way, although there is not quite so much to indicate the fact. The republican minor- ity vote the other day on the bond bill shows to any student of politics that there is a spirit of independence and a disregard of the party whip. The real meaning of the action of the minority is hidden, but will crop out. I confess that I disliked the democratic stand on the question and voted with them simply because it looked to me to have narrowed down to a party fight. Many others shared my views. After all it was simply a game on the political check- erboard, without patriotism in it.” “What do the democratic silver leaders Propose to do when they desert their par- ty?" he was asked. “Oh,” he said, laughingly, “they are in as big a quandary as I am about my forth- ccming speech. They say they have ma- tured no plans and do not expect to do so soon. They will let actions shape them- selves by events. It may, and probably does, mean a new party. I hardly think the disaffected element will support the pepulists.”” ‘Talking of the disaffection in the south toward the present democratic leaders and the party, the Congressman said he did not believe the republicans would profit it, The populists would either be strengti ened or the support would go to the new party. He did not know what the gold standard men would do, as he was reckon- ing on the south being for free silver and the national democratic convention oppos- ing a double standard. “Talking about the situation in the south,” the leader said, “reminds me that just the other day a Texas Congressman told me that his state was likely to land in the populist column next year. In Louis- fana there is lots of personal feeling mixed with the situation, and there is no teliing what that state will do next year. Missis- sippi is thoroughly solid for free silver, and will never support a gold standard man for President. Arkansas is in the same fix, with populistic tendencies. Missouri is not going to stand a single standard, even if it results in republicanism. Tennessee would not surprise me by joining the populists. Alabama Is rightfully populist, Florida may stand by the party whether it is for gold or not. Georgia will be for free silver un- der the flag of some party, Hoke Smith to the contrary notwithstanding. South Caro- lina will follow Ben Tillman, who is not a populist, and is an advocate of a new party. Everybody knows how North Carolina stands. Virginia will remain democratic, and Maryland will vote for a republican. Kentucky gives evidence of doing the same thing. Thus you see that the once solid south is on the verge of dismemberment. Besides their free silver views, the people hate Cleveland and his administration. He has done nothing to cement them. He has ignored those who have differed from him and bestowed his favors upon those of his own choice.” They Won’t Talk Generally. ‘The Congressman asked that his name be not used, but said that if verification of his views was desired there was nothing to do but talk with some of the democratic silver representatives in either house. The veri- fication was not hard to obtain, but the chief difficulty was that nobody wanted his name mentioned. “What will the free silver democrats of your state do should the democratic na- tional convention adopt a gold standard platform, and put up a candidate on that platform?” was arked about a dozen promi- nent free silver men from the southern states. ‘The most significant thing about the mat- ter was that such prominent men as Bailey of Texas and McMillin of Tennessee de- clined to talk on the subject. Four years ago, if they had been asked such a question they would have laughed in a man’s face, for whoever heard of the solid south not voting for a democrat for anything? Congressman Strait of South Carolina said: “My opinion is that the free silver men will not support another democratic candidate for President unless he is favor- able to silver. The south and west ought to organize their own democratic party, put up a candidate for President, and vote for him. If they cannot do anything else they can send Representatives and Senators here who will hold the balance of power.” Congressman William 1. Terry of Arkan- sas: “All that I will say is that Arkansas democrats are in the habit of supporting the democratic ticket. I will say, however, that I have heard a great many say they will not support a gold-bug democrat on a gold-bug platform. I am not able to say what Is the extent of that sentiment.” Congressman Bailey of Texas: “I do not wish to discuss the question.” Congressman Benton McMillin of Tennes- see: “I don’t care to be interviewed, as it is utterly impossible to tell what will be the course of events between now and then. It will be time enough to cross the bridge when we get to it.” As stated, the majority of others seen de- clined to allow the use of their names in any form, although they talked volubly enough in a private way.

They know that if they vote with the populists or a new party they will simply be throwing away their votes. ‘There are certain principles the democratic party stands fo. which are assailed by the Tepublican party. These principles, among them local self-government, are of infinitely greater consequence to the silver democrats than the question of money.” —_—_+o._ To Develop Virginia Gold Fields. A company has been organized at Rich- mond, Va., with a capital stock of $2,000, 000, for the pur-.se of developing on a very extensive scale large gold mining properties covering several thousand acres in Buckingham county, Va. Northern and western capitalists have made a thorough investigation of the gold-bearing ores of that territory and have found such favora- ble conditiors that it is claimed they have secured control of the entire district. In- vestigations of experts and analysis of the ores show that the average of these ores gives a much better percentage of gold than either the South African or the Crip- ple Creek districts. ——__ +e+____ Governor Morton has appointed Justice Irving G.
