Chicago, July 4. — There is talk
among the free sliver lenders of call
ing u caucus before the convent ion for
the purpose of fixing a slate. Should
this be done, Governor Altgeld’s idea
of a “ me day” convention may be
carried into effect.
W. II. lllnri^isen, chairman of the
Illinois State central committee and
delegate-at-large, says that there is a
strong sentiment among t lie free
sliver delegates now in the city favor
ing such a caucus. “Hut even if there
should be no caucus,” lie continued,
“I have an idea that the work of the
convention can be wound up in a
single day. At I figure It out, the
silver candidates for the nomina
tion for President will be Kland,
Boies, Hlnckburn, Matthews and Mo
Lean. Of these 1 rather incline to the
belief that Holes and Hland will get
the hulk of the votes, and that
whoever lias the greatest number of
votes on the first ballot will be nomi
nated on tne second. As to the gold
men I don't think we have anything
to fear from them As soon as they
get here and circulate among the
delegates they will have political

idea of battering it down. The ma

policy of the Deinocrata to allow the
majority to rule.”
li'.nrichsen thinks that C. 8. Thomas,
national committeeman from Colorado
ind chairman of the delegation from
that State, stands a good show of
being elected temporary chairman.
“It is quite possible,” he continued,
“that the temporary organize'ion will
be made permanent. This could be
done for the purpose of expediting
business.” __

Last week it was planned to send a

the meeting of the national commit

the silver movement, although he may
have leanings toward silver, will be
selected for chairmxn. It is apparent
from the talk of the members of the
committee who are here that they do
not like the terms which the silver
men laid down for the sub-committee
and they feel that the national com

this matter. Hen Cable, member of
the nn< onal committee for Illinois,
who was not at the meeting of the
sub-coininittee when the delegation of
silver leaders appeared, says tie is op

a republican whose republieaniam lias
never been affected by political defeats.
If you want a candidate who can
prance upon the grand stand, I think

THIC PLATFORM.
The republicans of Nebraska in con
vention represented affirm their faith
in the principles enunciated in the
platform adopted by the national con
vention at St. Louis: the platform of a
party not aahamcu of its record anti
compelled to abandon no article of its
ancient faith.
Chief among these standard princi
ples is a protective tariff, that cares
for every American interest and secures
the highest good for American labor; a
reciprocity that, while seeking out the
world's markets for our surplus pro
ducts. will never yield up a single day's
wage that belongs to the American
workman; u sound dollar, as sound as
the government, and as untarnished as
its ling; a dollar that is good not only
at home, but good wherever trade
goes- as good in the hands of a farmer
or a workman as in the hands of a
capitalist, a manufacturer or s corpora
tion.
A foreign policy that respects the
American dug and causes it to be hon
ored abroad; that embodies the sym
pathy of the American people In the
struggle of their oppressed neighbors
for liberty and self-government and
that jealously resents any and all en
croacnuients of the military powers of
the old world upon the territory of any
American republic.
A domestic policy that accords fair
treattua-ut and generous recognition tn
the veterans of tile union army, that
gives them preference, wherever pray
tushie, in pub ie employment; that
