JU HAS A VERY METALLIC RING ESTABLISHED Bilver Advocates Are Gathering at Chicago in Large Numbers, PREPARING FOR TODAY'S CONVENTION Assnults Planned Upon the Money Power— Active Hostilitios Will at Once Begin— Politieal Lines to Be Eliminated —Distinguished Agitator Cirieao, July 81.—There will be a declara- tion of war tomorrow. The fos to be out- lawed will be the “money power,” and this generalization is to include the capitalists of Europe as well as the money barons of Wall street. In the presont depreciation of silver the delegates who will in national convention assemblo tomorrow only see a conspiracy on the part of the gold lenders of London and Germany, aided and abetted by the lessor capitalists, their vassals on Wall street, to make gold the only recognized international coin metal of the world and subjugate the United States to the financial control of the country from whom sh sted her polit- fcal liberty years ago The scenes following the imposition of the tax on tea, 80 hotly contested and indig- nantly denounced by the colonial fathers of 1778, would have been a fitting parallel to that furnished in the hotel lobbies today The laws of supply and demand and the re- sults of over-production found no place in arguments, for every suggestion of this kind was repulsod by a startling array of statis- tics and figures tending to show that the closing of the mints of India, the death blow of free coinage in Europe, and _the d for the repeal of tho She parts of a great conspir Those who have expected the convention to Yo assembled at 10 tomorrow would go to s on the shoals of partisanship have stimated the deep feelings that ac ate most of the delegates who are to dise the financial issuc in this assembly. United on One Prozram, Populist, greenbacker and the free silver man seem to be united on one program—that is, the repeal of- the Sherman purchasing At must be resisted to the last, unless there be couplod with it an act for the froe coin- age of silver or for & groater volume of cur- rency. In this program are found united the republican congressman, Bartine of Ne- vada, the democratic silver dollar congress- man, Warner of Ohio; the populist, Kolb of Atabama, and all their respective followers —and their name is legion. Aggressive committecs carry the fight to Washington and o committecs will be named to work up public sentiment in the vari- ous statcs. Then a campaign commit- tee is to be named ond s com- mittee is likely to bo entrusted with what is > most important work of the free silver brigade. The work will be secret, and itis expeoted 1t will labor to enlist tho assistance of the unemployed everywhere. The proselyting of the lcaders of labor or ganizations is to follow next, and the silver men expect tho same law makers who passed the alien labor laws and the Chinese exclu- sion bill to hearken to the voice of labor and increaso the volume of the circulating medium. Over 1,000 delegates will assemblo for de- liberation tomorrow and the day following. “The headquarters of the delegates have been opened at the Great Northern, Paimer and Grand Pacific, and thoy are rapidiy filling \Colorado's big delegation arrived at Palmer today, and a goouly number from lowa, Nevada, Montaua, Alabama, Iudi ud Iduno are'st the Great Northern. ominent People in the City.

CHICAGO FINANCIAL AFFAIRS, Wave Reached that Point When N Banks Mast Be Igno N Citrcaco, July 8l—[Special Telegram to Tie Ber. ) nefal affairs scem to have reached the point where Chicago is obliged to pretty nearly cut loose from New York. For ten days New York exchange has been practically unsalable here. It h been simply impossible to get any currency from New York banks, although local banks had it on deposit there to their credit. New York exchange was vesterday nominall” quoted at §F on the $1,000 discount, although under normal conditions it could not fall be- low 70 cents discount, which is the shipping rate. 'his unusual situation in New York ex- change has led to a new departure inlocal banking. Chicago 1s to import gold direct from London. Two bunks yesterday com- pleted arrangements for shipments of Amer- ican eagles from London and at least §750,- 000 will start from there tomorrow. The Iivst National bank ordered from its Lon- don correspondent 00,000 and the Bank of Nova Scotia ordered 50,000, This will bo brought straight through New York to Chicago. It secems probable that Chicago will now play an important part in the gold imports that are expected to be made, The for- warding of produce and grain has been seriously hampered by the inability of shippers to dispose of their New York ex- change. If the Chicago banks now buy the drafts on foreign purchascs of grain and ship the gold directly to this city the difi- on that score will be avoided. No clearing house certificates have yet been issued in Chicawo,” said Lyman J. Guage yesterday. *The ‘authority granted the ox-commissionor of the clearing house to issuo such certificales has not yet been taken advantage of.

These were the words inscribed 1 a plain hand upon the register of tho Cockran hotel, which announced the arrival this morning of the democratic natipnal committeeman for Nebraska. When Tuz Bee correspondent called upon Mr. Castor this evening he was seated at a table going through an enormous bile of lotters from Nebraska democrats who want oftice. ““Yos, I confess,” said Mr. Castor, in roply to a question, “that I came here to look after some appointments. And I may add that T am disappointed not to find Secretary Mor- ton here. As I passed through Chicago I learned that Mr. Morton was upon a west- ern trip, but that he was expectod to arrive there on that day and proceed here at once. He will undoubtedly be hero by the middle of this week.” Do you know of any appointments that will be made soon for Nobraska 1" “Well " replied Mr. Castor, “1 spent today at the Postoffice department and you may to Tiie Bk readers that there will bo fifty loss republican postmasters of tho fourth class in Nebraska within tho next forty-cight hours than there aro now, that is, there will be that number of demderats appointed to take the places of as many republicans. 1 do not waut to mention names.

Itis my impression thata uow collector of customs will bo named for Omaha before many auys.” “And the land officers?” “The republicans who were appointed to the new oftices—those created by the Reed congress—will, it is understood, remain till their four years are out. 1 expect changes to be made in the old offices of Allance, McCook, Lancoln and North Platte for in- stance, soon. | am going to tho Interior depirtment tomorrow o look over the papers on file and make somo recommonda- tions.

The first appointments which will be made for Nebraska will be about twenty-five fourth-class postmasters tomorrow and about the same number on Wednesday,” Morton Will Approve. Mr. Castor will remain in Washington abouta week, He 1s at the same hotel which Secretary Morton makes hiswhome and, of course, whatever he may do in the way of recommendations for places will meet th of the secretary of agriculture. Ber correspondent could not induce Mr. Castor (o mention the nes of the prospective appointees, but it is safe to waver your last doilar that ho will recommend James MeShane for the Omaha collectorship and then to doublo the wager that McShane will get the place. The ap- pomntment is likely to be made within a short time, just as soon as President Clove- land can tafke up the case. When Sccretary Hoke Smith returns to the city he will take up the land ofices at the four citics named in Nebraska and act upou them. It seems to be settled that the district attorneyship will remain open till near the end of the year.

The total purchaso for the month was 2,384,000 ounces, leaving a shortage of 2,116.000 ounces. 'T'he amount purchased today was 216,000 ounces at the counter figure of £0.70: perounce. The two populist members of congress from Colorado, Messrs. Penco and Bell, were at the treasury today and had an interview with Secretary Carlislo and Act- ing Mint Director Preston. They were in Mvr. Preston’s room at the time he rejected all the offers and made the counter offer of £0.703 per ounce. Both of them were much concerned about what they claimed was an effort of the department to depress the price of silver 1n the markets of the world. The men indicated a purpose to precipitate a_sil- ver discussion on the first working day of the extra session of congress by a resolution of inquiry as to whether or not the secretary of the treasury has not exceeded his author- ity inrefusing to purchase 4,500.000 ounces of silver in July, as provided by the Sherman law.
