That is What Convention
' Advocajtesr Expect.- '
OCTOBER THE TIME.
A Letter From a Prominent Dem-
ocrat and an Ei-Congress-t
man. The Opponenta , -
' The meetiug of the well known
silvern-en in this city yesterday has
- given a renewed impetus to the
holding ot a Silver Couveution here
at an .early date. It wa certainly
' . the sense of (he Convention to hold a
SUte SUter Conference in accor
danoe itb the call formulated by
' Mr. Smith and others. There was
some opposition at first, but it was
.v overcome. - Mr. Dowd of the Char
kite News doubted the advisability
. of holding the Convention at this
time. Congressman Liokbart and
Mr. Joeephos Daniel were opposed
; to the Convention, but that, pup-i-
tion was overoime by , the I truer
- majority ot those present including
, Mr. Smith, Mr, Jarvis and others.
Mr. Smith Is enthusiastic, about
the Convention, which is really in
tended as a monBter - mass meeting
' It does not look" like, the opposition
. it playing much of a band from the
Urge number of "responses being re
oeived to the' calls sent out. An
average of twentyflve signatures
r; are signed to the calls returned.
Mr. Smith says the Convention
will probably be held about the first
week In October. Be is just in re
oelpt of a letter from an ex-Demo-oratlo
member of Congress whiofi'
- bears pointedly on the subject. We
" quote from the letter a follows; '
