FOR PLATFORM MAKERS, Iowa Democrats Aro Divided on the Silver Question. New York, April 27. The World today prints the following signed statement of ex-Governor W. E. Rus sell, of Massachusetts. In response to a question from one of Its stuff corre cerre corre seondents: "I mn greatly surprised to hear that the action of the Massachusetts con vention has "attracted any special attention outsldo tho state. While I greatly appreciated the compliment of an Indorsement by my state, I am not seeking tho nomination, nor am I desirous of being a candidate, nor do I wish any movement In nny state In my Interest. "On the contrary, I have already earnestly requested that no such movement be made In nny other state by friends of mine.

'It seems to mo that our party should send Its strongest men to Chicago, nnd leave It to their good Judgment, in view of tho situation, as it then appears, to determine what Is best to be done. "Tho Important thing Is to mnko every effort to havo tho Democrats tnko an absolutely sound position on tho money question without evasion or compromise. I believe It Is of vital consequence to the party for its present and Its future. "I mu ilrmly of the opinion, as I havo recently said that our national plutform ought cxpllclty and empha tically oppose tho free coinage of silver, or Its compulsory purchase, or any compromise- legislation in that direction; and that they ought to In dorse and comincndtlio administration of President Cleveland for Its rcsoluto work In maintaining our present gold standard, and in preserving tho creditor tho nation. "I think it would bo neither right or wlso to attempt to avoid or strad dle tho question by any ambiguous or meanlngloss declaration. Tho time has passed for that. The Issue- must bo met and fought out." A Boston speclnl to the World, In which tho ex-governor Is Interviewed at length, supplements the above statement. In tho course of this In terview, ho says: "Tho position of president Is one of tremendous responsibility. It In volves so many thlngs,rcqulrcsto much of the man who would flu It. I doubt yes I doubt very much if I would care to take tho load, wcro it thrust upon me. "I believe that a president should go into ofllce unfettered. Therefore, I hold firmly that I could never oven bo a candldato on a platform that was not in accordance with my own prin ciples. I would never consent too straddle on finance or nny other pub lic question.

A column for attack was hastily formed, consisting of 100 whites, 100 Capo "boys" nnd 100 natives. Thoy wero supplied with ono Maxim and ono Hotchklss rapid-fire gun! Thus equipped, thoy sallied forth from tho Buluwnyo defenses at To'clotj&onSaC urday morning. Thoy took a dlrcc tlon northeasterly from the town In the direction of tho Uniguza river. They had proceeded only about flvo miles on their courso when tho enemy opened tho attack. Tho Matubclo force numbered not less than H,000 and their attack was egar nnd well directed.

Ono observer counted -10 dead lying In a small circuit close to tho column. The whites had been hotly engaged In front, and when they succeeded In repulsing the attack thero thoy found more work waiting for teem. The advance of tho enemy's lino thou got under their flanks, and they found squares of howling black men In their rear when they turned their attention In that direction. This camo near proving a greater peril than tho tho onslaught from tho front, but It was luckily deffcrcd uutll the llrst attack had been repulsed and tho forces of the Matabcles weakened there. But for tho open nature of tho ground to ward Buluwayo, tho encircling tactics of tho enemy would certainly havo succeeded against the small forco op posed to them. As It was, It was pos sible to perceive their movements and move adcordlngly, and tho open ground gave free play for tho Maxim, which was employed also in that di rection with deadly effect.
