THE CAMPAIGN TO OPEN WITH JARVIS. . party was not opposed to silver, which they declared to be a virtual acknowledg ment of fear, before thegolditts were yelling themselves hoatse over Mr. Bry an's appeal for votes regaidless of the Chicago platlorm. Candidates and partus h ive often ig nored platforms alter election, but it was somewhat novel for u candidate to say before election that the ticki t could be voted without endorsing everything in the platform. It was a bit of .candor on the part of Mr. Brynn, if it wasn't good politics. Among the politicians in Wash ington, re-jirdless of party, it is believed gramme stood when the story of Sewall's withdrawal was prematurely made pub- lie by a Maine P ipulisf. As a matter of j course the Chairmen of both Populist j aud Democratic Notional Committees de ' cliue to admit any knowledge of this j scheme. j R-publicans are cither alarmed or skil fully pretending to be alarmed over the reported large defections from that party in the agricultural sections ol the middle West. According to a story given out by friends of Mckinley, a canvass just com pleted shows that sixty per cent, of the Republican tanners of Iovva have announ ced their intention to vote lor Bryan nud free silver.

In spitejol the denials of the Navy Depart ment, it ia firmly believed tbat the secret voyage) of the little cruiser Bancroft is for lbs Boaphorus. It is stated tbat the hastening of the cruiser Irotu this port was due to Secre tary Onley's impatience at tha delay in paying the small indemnity'due forAmeri can's mission property which was destroyed. convention war Erst proposer! it was sup possed by many that it would make no nominati"U, but would advise the sup port of McKinley. It is now considered certain that a nomination will be m;;de, and if President Cltveland does not object, that Henry W'atterson will head the tick et. At a meeting of the Executive Commit tee of the National Silver party, held in Washington this week, it was decided that headquarters be maintained in Chicago and Washington, the west being looked after from the former place and the east and south from the latter. Little else was made public concerning the committee rneetiog, but it is known that like its working jartners, the Democratic and Populist committeis, the committee is feeling the lack of campaign funds and that its members are more or less worried about where they are to get the uioecv to pay what they consider necessary cam paign expenses. President Cleveland played his first trump in the Presidential game when he selected ex-Governor Frances to succeed Mr. Hoke Smith as Secretary of the In ter'or, and it has made the silver men so mad that they are talking about the ad visabilitv of taking the very unusual course in the Senate of njecting the nomination of Mr. Frauds It is not pro bable, however, that such a course will be followed, as the election will be over be fore the Senate meets. It is admitted by all who know the situation in Mo., that Mr. Cleveland greatly strengthened the gold Democrats in that Stute by taking Gov. Francis into the Cabinet, aud conse quently increased McKicley's chances for carrying tbe State. Although Governor Francis denies that he was "on the fence,' it is stoutly asserted by Missouri Demo crats that he would have come oui for Bryau had he not been made Secretary of the Interior. It is the impreselou in Wash ington that be will only be nominally at tin head of the Interior department, as his time will be taken up between now and election working up the gold demce racy in Missouri, and after election there will scaice'y oe time enougu iett ior turn to learn the duties of tbe positiousferj F.verybody knows how diffitl, for three families to live together in peace in one house, thi r ioie it surprised I verv few people when it leaked out t'ua the relations between the Democratic. Populist and Silver committets, which do bush. ess in the same! i building, had already become consider- ' ably tr due I, although they have not all beeu under one roof a wiek yet. Although tlusc committees are all j working toward the same end it was not : a wise move to p n t ; In rn I "je' lit i'. S. n I wereiator Faulkner, ehaiMiiaM i ilie Democrat-i ic Congi csh ma I Com nittee, Mid Vice silver was already practically accomplisli e I. The policy of frightening one's side ioto harder lighting has more than once been successfully put through in politics, and Mr. Hanra may le trying it again. The silver people are not giving figures, but they say Republican defection wil give them most of the middle Western states, unless there is a change of senti ment between now and election day. On the other hand, Republicans just from those states say there is already a change ot sentiment and that the defection is not greater in one party than in the other, and that McKinley will carry them all. There are ominous mutteiings concern ing the management, or rather the alleg ed lack oi' management of the Bryan cam pain, which may break into an open storm in the mar future if there isn't a change. It is charged that the campaign manegeis have neglected opportunities which they should have taken advantage of, and some of those who make the l .1.T ,1. cuarges say mac oryan is largely to oiamc tor insising upon having his own way about many things which should have been left to the discretion of those wdio have had more experience in managing National campaigns, and that Bryau is too much inclined to b a rainbow chaser to be allowed to control things. They say that it was Bryan'3 disposition to chase rainbow instead of sawing wood that dis gusted Senator Gorman, w ho had partly promised to help manage the campa'gn, and they are now trying to persuade Gorman to hold, and Bryau is said to have promised him that he would not attempt to intetferc with him if he would. The Populists National Committee is confining its work to assisting in smooth ing eiut the obsttcles to harmony in the several States and iu making arrangments for Populist stump speakers. Ii is seud ing out very little literature. Senator Butler, Chairman of the Committee, savs the Popubst do not need education on the tin mt-ial qiution, because they have long ao po-u il i he lose h es and that the aver age rT'-ssio.id Populi-.r can' easily out ugue iion who have been in public life for years. hen it comes down to silver.

Moore, a white man who cut his wife's throat in the pres ence of two other white men. It is said now that the Republicans will not endorse A C. Shuford, Populist nom inee for Congress in the 7th district, but will put up a man of their own. Shuford is alleged to have said he hopes a Demo crat would succeed him and this has a roused Renublican wrath. The feeling between the Russell and Doekery faction of the Republicans has by no means died out, despite allegations to tbe contrary by officials at that party's headquarters. It is srid that whenever Russell finds a Doekery man he gives the latter's name to his "Man Friday," unci says ''put tiim on the blacti list; we want to remember his nam?.' Democratic Slate Chairman Manly say he thinks electoral fusion with the Popu lists will be arranged in 10 days. Popu lists do n -t say so. The fact is there is a revolt against fusion and it is in the tanks of both parties. There is plenty of plain talking being done. On the 8th of June J. 11.
