SPLIT UP INTO FACTIONS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., June 1, 1896. There is really no political issue In this state today except free silver. The repub- state convention tried to make it ap- that protection was the issue, and financial matters secondary, and Senator Pritchard prepared the financial plank, which democrats and populisis declare Is the worst Kind of a “straddle.” The re- publican state chairman applies the same term to it. A republican who attempted to introduce a free silver resolution says the committees would not give aim a hear- ing. The democratic party here is “all to pieces.” So far, there is not, late aw it is in the year, any sign of harmony, but, on the contrary, as much discord as ever. The state chairman is said to be by no means pleased at the outlook. There are two chief views of the situation. One fac- tion declares for co-operation with the populists, and is willing to let Senator But- ler dictate the terms, such as division of the state ticket and indorsement of popu- lists for Congress, etc. This faction is willing to see a populist nominated for governor. Another faction says the thing to do is to nominate a straight tickei, and make no concessions or compromises, but if beaten to die game. It is their view that if the republicans win two years of repub- lean rule will make the state sure for the democrats for twenty years thereafter; in other words, that in 188 the democrats can carry the legislature. It is difficult at this stage of the game to say which of these factions is likely to prevail, but {t seems probable that the one favoring co-operation with the populists is in the ascendancy. While the populists have leaned toward the republicans, they now seem to lean toward the democrats. Senator Butler is claimed to be the leader in this movement, and his newspaper makes many very severe cuts at Pritchard and Russell. Neither of these is in any favor with Butler and the state committee, of which he is chairman. Republicans as- sert, however, that the rank and file of the populists are really in favor of fusion with them. Ed. Chambers Smith, democratic free silver movement, said The Star correspondent today: “The North Carolina delegation to the national conven- tion at Chicago will not be instructed to bi It will be made up of carefully se- ted men, who can be trusted, and who ill be instructed to vote as a unit for a silver man ond a silver platform.” Smith was asked what Dr. Mott, national chairman of the free silver or “national” party, would do in case the democrats nominated Teller and Biackburn. He re- plied: “He will go with the demecrats.” The republicans count cn getting a good slice of the democratic vote for “protection and sound money.” The denccratic party will have a new chairman to elect June 25, when its state conventicn meets, the present incumbent declining to rve longer. Friends of ex- Senator Jarvis are pusting him for the place, but 1t is said he will not accept un- less unarimously elected. There is a movement among some of the populists to ferce their state committee, of which Senator Butler is chairman, to call a coavention to elect delegates to their na- tional convention. Tke committee decided at ifs meeting a month ago not to call a convention, but to itself anpoint the dele- gates. State Senator J. M. Newborne, who is one of the “bolters’” against Butler, Is heading this rew movement. It is asserted that he has a strong backing. The surprising statement is made that in this state there are 10,000 to 15,000 mem- bers of the A. P. A. Up to this time any mention heard of this organization has been as of something far away. The negro vote is again an interesting factor in a campaign. The populists as- sert that they have many negroes In thelr party. The republicans declare they have the negro vote under perfect control, as usual, and cen carry {t solid. The worl: among the negro voters 1s uevally done in the week or two weeks immediately before the electicn. Two years ago the democrats were ahead up to two weeks before elec- tion day; then the news flew among the negroes, mainly through their preachers and In their churches, and their vote was cast like an avalanc The democrats are this year In many cpses determined to draw the color line rigidly, but in other cases they seek the negro vote in a quiet way. It ieoks now as if the mass of the negroes will vote for Russell, and acquiesce if not ref ice at his nomination. A rumor was given considerable currency that Oliver H. Dockery, whe, his friends say, lost the gubernatorial nomination mainly thrcugh the adverse influence of Senator Pritchard, intended to come out as a candidste fcr the Senate. Col. Dockery’s nearest kinsmen assure The Star corre- spondent that this is unfounded. One of tke funniest things geen so far in the campaign is the address to the voters of Vance and Warren counties by W. H. Davis, who says: “I am a Jefferson demo- crat, an Abraham Lincoln republican and an L. L. Polk populist.” He simply calls on all people to vote for him. CHAIRMAN HARRITY the head of the CONFIDENT. Says He's Satisfied There Will Be No Split at Chicago. CHICAGO, June 2.—William F. Harrity, chairman of the democratic national com- mittee, is here attending the meeting of the subcommittee looking after errange- ments for the convention. Discussing the financial situation in the national conven- tion Mr. Harrity said: “I believe a fairly amicable adjustment of the issue will be reached. It is imposs!- ble the free silver element will have a ma- jcrity sufficiently large to control the con- vention. No, I do not look for a split. In fact, I am satisfied there will be none. Democrats, as a general thing, recognize the right of the majority to rule, and they are willing to accept the result. “Furthermore, I feel that the St. Louis convention will have the effect of ciarify- ing the atmosphere a good deal for us. We can judge better then what we want to do.” The gold standard democrats of Chicago will hold their county convention in Central Music Hall Saturday evening, June 13, at 7 o'clock. The primaries will be held in the various wards and towns at 8 o'clock on the evening of June 12. WILL PRESENT ALLISON. John N. Baldwin of Council Bluffs to Make the Speech.

There is no or- ganization of the gold pecple in any of the districts, and the state conyention is only a little over three weeks eff. Unmistakable evidence has come to Itght that John R. McLean, editor and proprie- tor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Is preparing to make a hot fight for a place on the del- egation-at-large to the national convention from this state. The same objection can be made to him that has been made against Senator Brice, and that is that he is not a resident of the state, though, construct- ively, he may be held to be a citizen of Ohio. McLean has lived in Washington for several years, and rarely visits the En- quirer office. Many of his old friends an workers in the state have received lett from Mr. McLean in the last week, which he states his case asks for their support. in and once more Mr. McLean is also seeking new allies from among his old en- A representative of Mr. McLeaa came to this city last week and called upon Allen W. Thurman in this interest. Me- Lean and Thurman are together fighting now for free silver, but hitherto they have belonged to bitterly opposed factions, since, through Mclean’s efforts, the legislature, twelve years ago, retired Allen G. ‘Thur- man and sent Henry B. Payne the United States Senate. One of Mr. McLean's agents here is Dan- jel McConville, ex-sixth auditor of the treasury, who was the private secretary of Gov. Hoadly. At that time Hoadly was bitterly opposed to McLean, and McCon- ville naturally followed his chief into the faction that was bent on the destruction of the McLean influence in this state. It is almost certain that the party in this state Is to be reorganized on a free silver basis at once. In doing so it will probably lose a considerable element of its party who are for the single gold standard, and gain a small membership from the free sil- ver republicans .of the state. In the long run, the democrats will find a considerable deficit in their voting strength. ALASKA REPUBLICA) to What They Will Ask of the St. Louis Convention. SEATTLE, Wash., June 2.—C. S. Black- man of Juneau, one of the delegates elecied to the national republican convention by the independent convention at Juneau, Alaska, has arrived in Seattle on the steani- er City of Topeka. Speaking of the two conventions, he said: “The story about Delameter or anybody else from the outside having any interest in the matter or hav- ing done any work to secure the election of Reed or anti-McKinley delegates from Alas- ka, is rank nonsense. My delegation goes uninstructed. We are not particular!y for Reed, for McKinley or any other candidate. All that we ask is a candidate who will do something for the pressing needs of Alas- a.”” Representative McGuire Renominated SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.—Congressman James G. McGuire has been renominated to Congress by the fourth district congres- sional convention. KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS, Everything Ready for the Conven- tion Tomorrow. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

The rumor of a deal be- tween Blackburn and State Senator Goebel, a sound money man, has caused trouble in the silver ranks. WILL REPRESENT MARYLAND. Democratic Delegates-at-Large Chicago, Speciai Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., June 2.—It has been practically decided that the dclegates-at- large who will represent Maryland at the democratic convention, and who are to be elected at the state convention, which mects here June 10, will be Mr. John E. Hurst, the party's nominee for governor last fall; Gen. John Gill, president of the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company; Mr. Edwin Warfield, president of the Fidel- ity and Deposit Company, and Mr. James Alfred Pearce of Kent county, who will represent the eastern shore. Mr. Pearce is the only independent in the quartet. It is now sald that Senator Gorman will not attend the national convention, al- though he will be present at the state con- vention tomorrow week. The Senator's friends feel disappointed at his decision and are likely to block the movement now under way to elect Mr. John K. Cowen, the leader of the independents, as a district delegate. The regulars will control the state convention, and Mr. Cowen's election would be regarded as a great concession on their part. At present, however, it looks as if Mr. Pearce will be the only inde- pendent at Chicago who will represent the state in an official capacity. - . ANDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS ATTORNEYS .

PARTY OF PROSPERITY eee In opening his speech today Senator Mor- rill referred to the emergency tariff Dili ard the bond bill passed by the House, and said: “The democrats have broken away from the leadership of their President, and, while marching to the drum and fife of a North Carolina captain, are in such dread lest the populists should get control of their party that they seem to be in a hurry to become populists themselves. “The recent obstructive tactics brought forth in the Senate to defeat the “coin redemption fund’ defeat the emergency tariff bill of th House of Representatives, with a silver coinage substitute, wholly irrelevant, and having no possibility of becoming a law, but contemptuously obtruded solely to de- feat the measures of the House, can hard- ly be regarded as standard’ senetorial statesmanship, nor as legitimate opp: tion by regular party opponenis, still iess when promoted by those who claim to be friends, and the excuses of such partici- pants, if not merely accusatory of some- body else, must always have u fair hear- ing, even if unsatisfactory.” The Sheep Industry. The Senator then answered some state- ments that had been made concerning the House tariff bill, to the effect that “while little or nothing was prop: New England woolen mills were taken care of.” He then said: cratic tariff has made sheep hus longer successful in any American end this most attractive nationa! industry, {f free trade supporters hold the power, is to be wholly and forever abandoned and extinguished. Now, while the woolen mills of Great Britain are busy and have nothing to complain of, here in the United States it is different, where St is reported that only ¢4 per cent of the hands in the woolen manufacture are now & loyed, and those at a reduction of wages. The saies of wool daily reported are the smallest ever krown, and among the non-dividend class of mills the woolen milis are more large- ly represented than any other.” He then referred to the ineffectual at- tempt to secure the consideration of the tariff bill by the Senate, and said: “Whenever the republican party shall be so unfortunate as to have presented for its adoption any measure not practically for the general welfare, or not worthy of national favor, the party wil! not mourn to see It slide Into oblivion, but the party will spurn the success of even a cardinal mea: ure if it is to degrade its members by being obtained contingently for an equal support of any other measure, good or bad. No man of independence, no free- man, goes even to his dinner on compui- sion, and no political party will be prone to suicide when It is nearing the goal which promises the mastery with its highest honors.”” A Grand Prophecy. The Senator predicted that the platform of the republican party in 1896 would place every dollar of our money in circulation en a parity with the best dollar in the world, wnile he asserted that the political ground under the democratic party appears dan- gerously volcanic. Continuing, he said: “No doubt had our country been shielded t a sound protective tariff during the hopeless years of the present .democratic adml tration, much of the business distress and woe of unemployed labor might have been averted; but another adverse and sore be- witchery of all bus 3 affairs in the United States, hardly less potent than a free trade tariff, has heen the uncea ing agitation of the free coinage of silver and on a ratio that would not fall to reduce the standard value of our money, as well as the whole fabric of public and private credit, to one-half of its present value. “It is preposterously claimed by leading supporters of the silver 16 to 1 standard that its consumption in the arts as mer- chandise, cr in whatever manner, howev>r large, except that of free coinage as stand- ard money, will debase and not increase its value. and that even the purchase and coin- age of silver {s not an equivalent of bimetal- lism. Nothing less than the perpetual free coinage of silver until the crack of doom, and giving to the owners all the difference between Its nominal and its real value, with no charge of seigniorage, it 18 seriously urged, will prove wholesonfe tonic and re- store silver to its former presilge and standard value. Another Prediction. “According to this hysterical theory, the United States may thus indefinitely Inflate our currency with silver dollars; but should thelr coinage at our mints ever cease or be suspended, the treasury and our people would find these dollars had suddenly tum- bled from their fiat value to that of the paralytic class of 50-cent dollars. “The increase of the annual s{lver product of the world since 1873 has been very great, that of the United States alone being, in 1894, In coinage value, $77 757, or almost as much as the $81,800, of the whole world in 18’ Our present stock of silver, now mainly in the treasury, and a drug wherever pushed as circulation, $624,000,000, is excessive and far beyond any legitimate demand. No one hoards or covets for him- self a stock of dear-bought silver any more than he would nurse or covet carbuncles, but all prefer ‘some other fellow,’ especially bond-hoarding gold bugs, should exclusive- ly enjoy the blessing. “If the President now finds it a task of some difficulty to sustain our gold and sil- ver certificates on a parity with gold, ob- viously an unlimited increase of such cur- rency would be perilous. . “The government can never recoup its loss of over $150,000,000 on its recently ac- quired stock of silver, as that loss, like the depreciated silver itself, came to stay, but the loss may be Indefinitely expanded if the silver autocrats now succeed in their world- wide 16 to 1 free coinage plot. Money Now in Silver. “Even at the present reduced value of silver bullion, its pursuit is indisputably more remunerative than that of agri ure or manufacturing, and this fact appears to be confirmed by a distinguished Senator from one of the silver fertilized states, who, with pardonable exultation, has told BRETETPEOEEESESSEESEEOEEESE It amalgamates perfectly with the most delicate cook- ing; that’s why it is so good for chafing dish use, A little in boiling water makes refreshing beef tea (bouillon) at once.

The ludicrous misinfor- mation which supports the broad assertion that countries where the silver-rorey standard prevails have 100 per cent pre- mium in thelr favor of exchange is as much of a travesty on the facts as on com- mon sense. The country which uses a de- preciated currency falls under many dis- edvanteges and as certainly and swiftly as the man of business whose credit is de- preciated. What we buy of silver standard countries can be paid for in depreciated silver. What they buy of us must be paid for in the best sound money, and nowhere subject to any discount. Free coinage of silver as a remedy against Japanese or any cheap foreign labor would prove very much like taking refuge in a pesthouse to avoid the plague. “Bimetallism is nothing more than two- metallism, though sometimes industriourly and artfully used to mean the unlimit 2d free coinage of gold and silver. If the United States start in this desperate silver trick alone, of course we shall be defeated, and silver will be further numbled and take a lower position in the estimation of all commercial nations. “Certainly an invitation from commercial nations to join in a co-operative agreement for a larger money use of silver would here accepted b: y republican administration, and it would be more de le that the United States should recetve rather than offer the invitation, as the American pro- duction of silver ts’ comparatively so large that any initiatory step on our part might subject us to the charge of being Inspired by the thrifty purpose of securing a better market for our annual domestic preduct. Silver Menaces the South. Were it as certain, as some extreme sil- ver advocates represent, that no co-opera- tlve agreement among leading nations for a larger use of silver can be obtained, that fact alone would be a cogent and eufficient reason why the United States should de- cline to stultify itself by embarking single handed in an experiment #0 reckless and so distrusted as to be shunned and coldly re- iccted by the statesmen of every enlighten- ed nation. But this hopeless representation of the silver question in Europe is untrue. The trend of public opinion in Germany and in Great Britain favors tolerance of the question Jur southern states are for the most part far less densely populated than their sister states of equal age, and the acreage of their uncultivated land is enormously sreater. The unused water power of their numerous rivers, and their inexhaustible iron ores and coal fields would seem to in- vi n unlimited expansion of diversitied tries, as weil as a large increase of ation. ‘Their material prosperity and advance in the value of their estates in land must be, for generations to come, Wholly based upon inspiring confidence in the owners of capital, and in many people to move th the view of finding rvative homes for both labor property.
