No matter how old and how loyal a Democrat may be they hint or perhaps openly say he is not a t rue Dem ocrat onltm be ia fur free silver. Now, i this ia all wrong. A gentlemen who is ranked as an extreme free silver Democrat. aays aocb kWs ate all wrong and : (hat auch rwolutioos as those adopte-1 by , th Wake county Democratic Convention j are wrong. To tell the truth there are not many ef-! fort being made to get all the Democrats i nikitcd. The prime consideration is to get them all in line, certainly on Stjte matters, to proscribe none and to have no . heart-turnings or enmities. There are two Tactions of the demo crat and there is where another big contest llea-haltcooctakd. One f for fusion with the popohets, and is ready to make inaay cooctasions. The other is lor a rtraigbt ticket, with no truckling and no combination. oe thin" ora kni that is that party tie rest very lightly on but a few dem ocrat. If such a thing happens ns the nomination of Teller for president by the party it U asserted that 20,000 ilemocratic Toters woo Id be lost in the State; that is Jiationallj. There are some who actually Tor Teller, bot the average silver dem ent perhaps favors Bland or Bryan.

I The Repoblicans are pulling together. Ileie is an example. Thomas R. Purnell, a well known member of that party here tells me that he does not lwlieve the Re poblicans will lose 100 votes by auy "silver bolt io this State." Democrats need not lay any stress on talk ot a split in their party or of a bolt of any large part of the vote. Tbe Populists will be disappointed if the Democrats nominate a silver ticket squarely on silver platform at Chicago. The Fopulists regard ibis as an intrusiou and it is because they want to capture all tbe elements that they are raising a home that the Democratic fondness for silver is a delusion aud a mare.

June 23 -The Treasury officials expect the gold reserve to go below the hundred million dollar mark, this week. tiohl is being withdrawn to satisfy : private account.-: it is beinir; shipped be ; fa use it is profitable. A Treasury olfuial says only Campaign or some foreign complication can deter mine how soon another bond issue will be ue;essary. 1 There is apparently no reason for the : disquieting reports of the last twenty , four hours, concerning foreign affairs than the news of dullness which follows the ! adjournment of Congress. Secretary Oln-y has gone to Boston on a visit, President Cleveland is away lish- Consul-Genera! Lee has sent the State Department a special messenger with im portant Cuban communication. Nothinj' new litis occurred on the Vene- ! zuelcan question. Senator Teller's boom for the Prcsi- ! cientiai nomination ol tlie silvei men is i the most talked of political topic just now. Before Senator Teller formally withdrew j from the Republican party, at the St. Louis convention, his boom was only a strong probability. To-day it is a for midable force, being pushed by men of political experience. While there has leen no formal endorsement of Teller's candidacy by the populists, influential members of that party have told silver democrats that Teller is the only man mentioned in connection with the Chi cago nomination whose nomination would certainly be endorsed by the pop ulists' National Convention, and the same assertions are being made by the managers of the silver party, which is to hold a National Convention at St. Louis upon the same date that the Populists' Convention meets July 22nd. It is too early in the game to say what the Teller boom will amount to, but it is ! not believed in Washington that he can get nominated by the Chicago couven- tion, even if that convention decides to nominate a silver man. In view of the latest figures, accepted by both gold and silver democrats, which give the silver men almost two thirds of that conven tion, it may fcoooi strange to speak of a doubt existing as to the nomination of a silver man, but you cannot spend an hour talking with unprejudiced men who are carefully noting every move made on the political board without becoming con vinced that there is a doubt. The reasons are numerous. The silver democrats, while practically unanimous on the question of a platform, are much divided on candidatesf That this state of affairs will be worked for all it is worth by such anti-silver democrats as Ex-Secretary Whitney aud Senators Gorman, Brice aad Hill, who are now busy making plans to head off the silver men of their party, is certain. There is little doubt that it all tlie silver men would support one ticket, McKinley and Hobart would be given a bad flight if they were Dot actually de featetl, but i is extremely doubtful some do not hesitate to say, impossible whether any single ticket will be put in the field which will "be supported by all the silver meu. At least, that is the way it looks now. In add Lion to the organized efforts now being made to influence the Chicago con vention, steps are also being taken by them to try to make the House anti-silver, however the Presidential election may go. It is said that a large fund will b; con tributed to be used in fighting silver candidates for Congress, no matter what j their party politics may be, in every dis- trict in which tliere is the slightest chance to elect a gold man. j The Republicans may get up lots of: enthusiism later on for McKinley and j Hobart, but there has been mighty little ! so far. They explained this by saying that it is bicaue the nomination of McKinley was known so far m a Ivauec of the convention. Whatever the cause, may be, it is certiin that the enthusiasm is lacking. Republicans from thu West and North-) west say that the silver bolt is a much more erious niatttr than the party at laige is disposed to regard it. They argue it will require the defection of only a small percentage of voters to make every st ite west of the Mississippi river anti-Republican, aud that it isn't only the electoral 1 vote of the silver States proper which are 1 ! in danger. i , . . . r ., , - ; The man who misinforms the people is ' ..,i,;. 0,ff- ,,! ... , . t . , . ... , . : newspapers. 111s miesi mtuuiuiui - uiean. 1 , . ., . . . c ! was the statement that in the event of; ,. . . ... 1 ncuiier rresiuentiai canuiuaus geiuug majority ot the electoral votes, next No vember, and the election of President being thrown into the House of Repre- sentatives, it would be tue memoers 01 tne House who are e'.ejted at the same time that Preoidential electors are voted for who would elect the President.
