: Sofcs the withdrawal of the silver

there has been started a movement
to unite the silver forces of the whole

in the hope of reaping what political
preference might come of it for them
selves; the other is because Hr. Tel

with neither of the parties on any
other issue than that of free silver.
The democratic party, should it be
pledged by the Chicago convention
to support Senator Teller for presi
dent will certainly have to modify
its views on the tariff issue, or leave
t to take care of itself as the popu
lists do. Such is the current prophesy
in regard to the actions of the July
conventions, but it is not improbable
that the near future holds much in
store in the nature of complete po-
itical surprises.
