Nkw York. April New York
Democrats have about made up thoir
minds that there will he two Demo
cratic parties alter the (hlci o con
vention. During the greet fight for
the repeal of the Micrmun silver law,
“Hllver Dick" lilanc! was continuously
predicting, in hi* peculiar, dramatic
way, that the Democratic party had
arrived at “the parting of the ways.”
A great many laughed at Mr. Iliand at
tbe time, and some of tils own follow
ers even were not inclined to take him
es being entirely serious. Now an
alarming condition of a (Taira ha*
erisnn within the Democratic party,
and the sound money men begirt to
realize that Mr. liland’s prediction I*
to he verified
Leading Democrats in this state,
like Mr Whitney, Henator Murphy
and ex-(Jovernor Flower,are now fear
ful that thCnartlng of tlx- ways"that
Mr. iliand talked about will material*
i/d* during tlx* Chicago convention.
1'resldenI. Cleveland and tlx* sound
money Democrats are now only hop
ing against hope that a free silver
platform will not la* adopted In Chi
cago They ere perfectly well aware
that the cbencee are in favor of the
triumph of the silver Democrats, and
they are preparing to act accord
ingly
It is said that as a result of their
plan* tlx-Cleveland, or sound oxmey
men, will, In the event of the capture
’of the National convention, holt,
orgonlze another convention,and nom
inate a ticket. The sound money
people have figured tfiat cities situ
ated In the Houtlx-rn and Western
Hlates would elect sound money dele
gates. While this might prove true,
although the silver Democrats have
just won big victories In several large
cities, like Ht. Louis, It would not
count for anything In the convention.
In the Democratic National convention
the unite rule Is well established.

METHODIST WOMEN LOBE.
The Iteijuireil Tliree-VourOis Majority
Wot tM-i urnl.
JNr.w Voiik, April 1B. — Women a*
lay delegates cannot enter the coming
general conference of the Methodist
eburch through a door opened wide
by a conniltutional amendment for on
the direct vote of the ministers of tlie
church the women were beaten. The
Troy conference, in session at Glovers*
ville, N. Y , settled the question by
voting down the Haitimorc amend
ment, 113 to 7s.
This does not absolutely decide the
woman question in its hearing on the
coming conference, hut it does destroy
tlie chief reliance of tlie women.
Tills question, the most important and
the most far reaching in possibilities
tlie Methodist church has ever been
ceiled on to face, is now left in a state
of more hopeless confusion than ever.
The women inuy yet win in the com
ing conference, but they can do so
only by lesorlirig to some parlia
mentary expedient.
f f rt Mi VALtArflitir ia. lt h I li van unrtnul
conference* to hear from, the women
lacked forty-nine vote* of having the
necessary three-fourth* of all the
voles east on the lialtimore amend
ment. To make up that deficiency
and get enough additional votes to in
sure victory; they had to have <155
votes out of the 425 in the three re
maining conferences. The .Troy con
ference having given the women only
seventy-eiglit vo e*and having thrown
114 votes against, them, their lust hope
of wiuniug on the lialtimore amend
ment is gone. Whatever action the
Hast Maine and the North Uukotn
conference* may take, with only 15.'
votes between them, it cannot atfeet
the result unless every vole should he
cast for the amendment.
These figures, giving the total vote*
on the lialtimore amendment speak
for themselves: Total votes east, III,
12ti; total for lialtimore amendment,
7,511; total against liultimore amen I
Uieiil, 2,00:1; reipiired three-fourths to
carry amendment, 7,du5; margin in
e*ees* of one fourth against amend
ment, 154.
Hut the Hamilton amendment, which
has also been before the aunital con
ferenics for consideration, provides

and then began his famous operations

was run nr- to • 1.15 on him and in
order to settle lie had to mongage his
Htate street property, which was
worth §1.000,000.
When Oecemher wheat was §1 a
bushel and May wheat §1.06 and the
opinion prevailed that the latter
would go up to §1 50, Pardrldge said:
"Well, boys, I believe it will go to
eighty cent* before It goes to §1.60,"
It was one man against the markets
of the world. It Is known that Par

Other speculators have carried as
much for a day or a wrek, but Par*

May Wheat dosed at sojf cent* Par

bond isanes was taken up In the Deo
ate yesterday and Mr, Hill made a
sensational and dramatic speech In
opposition. The New York Henstor
defended Secretary Carlisle and hht
administration of the treasury against
loose insinuations of irregularity and
showed the prevalence of charges of
this character by presenting and read
ing in full the charges made by Heno
tor Chandler against the friends of
McKinley that a levy of money waa
being made on protected Industries In
behalf of Mr. McKinley's candidacy
for the presidency. As a further evi
dence of the prevalence of charges,
Mr. JJill spoke of the sugar investiga
tion, where, he said, one Henator
(referring to Mr. Quay) had frankly
admitted that he bought sugar stock
and bad a right to buy it, and to-day
that Henator was the favorite son of
the leading Republican Htate as a
candidate for the presidency. In tha

Iwrs of the A. K A of Topeka show
signs of making a fight on McKinley
because he refuses to say how he
stands on the question of appropriat
ing public money In aid of sectarian
schools, as on other questions In which
tlie organization Is especially Inter
ested, Whether the Kansas delegatee
to the Republican National conven
tion, who are members of the A. I’.
A,, will violate their instructions and
vote sgalnst McKinley, they will not
say; but they hint at it broadly and
try to convey the Impression that
those delegates would violate their
instructions before they e/ould vie late
the oath taken In the lodge room.
They claim that of the sixteen dele
gates who have so far been chosen hy
the Kansas Republicans, only two are
not memliers of the order. Who the
two are they will not say,
A prominent Republican who Is un
willing to get into a controversy with
the A, 1’. A,, and for that reason will
not permit the use of his name, said
this morning: "The fact that some
of the delegates are members of tlm
