DICKINSON ANSWERS VEST
Charges Concerning Michigan Made In
the Senate Strom tly Denounced.
DETROIT , Mich. , May 11.-Ex-Post-
master General Don M1. Dickinson ,
replying to the strictures of Senator
Vest and other free silver men as to
the alleged corruption of the late
Democratic State convention by officeholders -
holders , denies that Mr . Stevenson
( Dickson's law partner ) or anybody -
body else issued a circular to
officeholders in connection with
the convention. Through free silver
congressmen , he says. free silver men
were put in all the ollices of their (11s-
tricts , and in both county and state
conventions outnumbered the others
two to one. According to the law the
places of delegates could not be filled
by proxies , as stated by MIr. Vest.
The 10 to 1 men never had a majority
of the delegates elected and the talk
of the use of money by the sound
money men is "pure and unadulterated -
ated slander and libel. " If any money
was used , it was in behalf of a free
silver syndicate , organized and existing -
isting outside of this state
and furnishing money to carry on
the campaign in this state. In
conclusion , lie says : "I am proud
to say the party in this State is properly -
erly represented by its delegation to
Chicago and iu favor , by an overwhelming -
whelming majority , of maintaining
the pledges of Congress on this question -
tion whenever there has been silver
legislation since ' 73 , that the policy of
this government is to maintain the
parity of the 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. The Clmicago convention
will not favor the policy of free coinage -
age at the ratio of 16 to 1. "

Not to Run the National Convention.
The Democratic Factions.
WASIHNGTON , May 9.-The first fight
of the silver and gold factions of the
Democratic party for control of the
Chicago convention was the subject of
an anhmatcI debate in the Senate yes-
terday. Senator Palmer in opposing
the l'effer bond investigation resolution -
tion , referred to the inalequacies of
the platform dechuations of 1592 on
the financial gnction , and ( Ieelaretl
that they were nut s ttmsfactory at the
present time. Reference was made to
the "snap" cenvcntfns ltel(1 at Pertie
Springs , Mo. , and Springfield , 111. ,
last year at which time Democratie
party was committed to silvcr.
This brought Senators Vest and
Cockrell of Missouri to their feet , and
the former delivered a speech of char-
aeteristic vigor and explosiveness. lie
charged that the recent Michigan
Democratic convention which declared
for sound money , was controlled by
federal officials , olio were instructed
for silvcr , but votei for a gold standard -
ard dcelaration. After denouncing
the influences brought to bear on conventions -
ventions in general Mr. Vest coB-
cluded with the following startling
declaration of his own position :
' 'I am a delegate to the national
convention , " he said , 'an unwilling
delegate , chosen by my people , and I
serve notice now that if that coven-
tron at Chicano is to be made up of
olhice-holders to stifle and prevent the
expression of the will of the people ,
then it is no Democratic convention to
me. The Democratic narty is time
party of honorable expression , not of
federal patronage. ' '
Mr Vest spoke with great earnestness -
ness , ant his unlooked-for declaration
created much comment By sonic it is
interpreted to mean that if time Chicago -
go convection shall declare for sound
money , the Missouri Senator will not
feel bound to abide by itsaction. Mr.
Cockrell is also a dele ; ate from Mis-
soum t , but he mad : : no decl tratioc as
to his position.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind- . May 9.-F. T. ti
Roots who presided during time greater j
part of yesterday's convention and who
is very close to ex-President Harrison , I
made to-day the following statement , 1
regarding time significance of yester- , '
day's action : " 'Time question has been i . '
frequently- asked what significance
attaches to Mr. Iiarrison's alsenco II
from the convention In answer it y J
may be said , his absence is a coutirrna-
tenon of his statemneut , There never
has been an hour since I left time ' w
White pens ( , that I desired to return to
it , ' and fnrtlmer , frees him from the 1' '
charge that might have b cn inadcin- . i
sincerity. In answer to the question
what will be the effect of time resole- i
tion instructing for McKinley , it can 1
be truly said 't must be teneficial for
all concerned. , First , it is a truthful ( '
reflection of the sentiment of the
voters of Indiana concerning Mclin- 1
Icy tvhicli hma , crystallized since Mr. ,
Harrison's letter of February last , and
if the unexpected should happt'n at St
Louis , and there should be a call for
the ex-President , he would be in a po
sitiotm to accept such a call , anti the
followers of MelCinlev would be the
supporters of General Ilarrison since
Indiana in no uncertain terms has instructed -
structed and declared for McKinley at 2 , I
her State convention. " '
