DICKINSON ANSWERS VEST
Charge Concerning Mlchlgnn Mmto
in
tho Semite Strongly Denounced.
Dktiioit, Mich., May 11. Ex-Postmaster
General Don M. D'.ck!non,
replying to tho strictures of Senator
Vest and other froo silver men as to
tho allogcd corruption of tho lato
Democratic State convention by office
holders, denies that Mr Stevenson
(Dickson's law partner) or nny
body clso Issued a circular to
ofllcohoidcrs in connection with
tho convention. Through freo silvor
congressmen, ho says, free silver men
wero put in all the ofllces of their dis
tricts, and in both county and stato
conventions outnumbered tho others
two to one. According to the law tho
S laces of delegates could not be filled
y proxies, as stated by Mr. Vest
The 10 to 1 men never had a majorilv
of the delcgntcs elected and ttio talk
of tho use of money by the sound
money men is "puro- and unadulter
ated slander and Itbel." If any money
wns used, it was in behalf of a freo
silver syndicate, organized and ex
isting outside of this stato
and furnishing monoy to carry on
the campaign in tills state. In
conclusion, ho says: "I am proud
to say the party in "this Stato is prop
erly represented by its delegation to
Chicago and in favor, by an over
whelming majority, of maintaining
tho pledges of Congress on this ques
tion whenever there lins been silver
legislation since '70, that the policy of
tills government is to maintain tho
parity of tho metals. Our party will
not favor repudiation in any form, or
take any chances of favoring a policy
that by any possibility would lead to
repudiation. Tho Chicago convention
will not favor tho policy of free coin
age at the ratio ot 10 to 1."

The Democratic Faction.
Washington, May 0. The first fight
of tho silver and gold factions of tho
Democratic party for control of the
Chicago convention wns the subject of
an animated debate In the Senate yes
terday. Senator Pulmer In opposing
tho Poller bond Investigation resolu
tion, referred to tho Inadequacies of
tho platform declarations of 1602 on
tho financial question, and declared
that they were nnt satisfactory at tho
present time. Reference was made to
tho "bnap" conventions hold at Pertlo
Springs, Mo., and bpringfleld, ill.,
last year at which tho Democratic
party was committed to silver.
Tliis brought Senators Vest nnd
Cockrcll of Missouri to their feet, and
the former delivered a speech of char
acteristic vigor and exploslveness. Ho
charged that the recent Michigan
Democratic convention which declared
for sound money, was controlled by
federal ofllcials, who were instructed
for silver, but voted for a gold stand
ard declaration. After denouncing
the Influences brought to bear on con
ventions in general Mr. Vest con
cluded with the following startling
declaration of his own position:
"I am a delegate to tho national
convention," ho said, "an unwilling
delegate, chosen by my people, and I
serve notice now that If that coven
tion at Chicago Is to bo made up of
oflicc-holders to stifle and prevent tho
expression of the will of tlio people,
then it is no Democratic convention to
me. Tho Democratic party is tho
party of honorable expression, not of
federal patronage."
Mr Vest spoku with great earnest
ness, nnd his unlooked-for declaration
created much comment By some it is
interpreted to mean that if the Chica
go convention shall declare for sound
money, the Missouri Senator will not
feei bound to abide by its action. Mr.
Coekrell Is also a delegate from Mis
souri, but ho made no declaration as
to his position.

reflection of tho sontlmont of tho
voters of Indiana concerning McKln

Harrison's letter of Fobruary last, and
if the unexpected should happen at St

followers of McKlnley would bo the
supporters of General Harrison sinco
