MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. I. The Minnesota democratic state convention. which will be held in this city tomor row, promises to be one of the most unanimous gatherings. politically- poHtlcally speaking, ever held in this state.

The state committee of the national silver party held a meeting today foi the purpose of discussing the matter of a state ticket. After several hours of quiet deliberation it was decided to appoint committee of four to COnfef with similar committees from the democratic and populist parties with a view to fusion up- upon the 'state ticket and a union upon Bryan and Sewall electors.

But a small minority of Colorado populisms favor the indorsement ot Watson. The republicans are still at sea, though the effort still continues to secure signatures of state committeemen to the call for another meeting of the committee on August 12 to repudiate tho actfon of last week in indorsing Mc Kinley and the republican national platform.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.

Ex-National Committeeman Ben T. Cable, one of the leaders in the bolting movement la Illinois was read out of the democratic party today at the meeting of the state central committee. The committee, under the leadership of Chair-man Hinrlchsen, met at 11 o'clock. It Immediately began the work of drawing the line which marks the split In Illinois between the ails-er or regular democrats and the "sound money men" or bolteTs. As a.

result the places of the following members of, the committee wra filled by new men John P. Hopkins. Ben T. Cable, W. S.

Foreman and R. E. Spangler. at large, and A. A.

Goodrich, First district Of these gentlemen Messrs, Hopkins and Foreman had already resigned and Mr. Spangler handed his resignation to Chairman Hinrlchsen before the meet- -ing was called to order. Ex -Judge Goodrich, who had been deposed at the Peoria convention, was already disposed of, so that the committee had practically only the case of Ben Cable to As he is regarded as the areh-conspl-Tator against Governor Altgeld and the present democratic organisation in the state, lie was accorded no mercy and no sympathy. The new members ap- 'Tointed today were: A. W.

Bastain, vice Cable; F. W. Harill, vice Foreman; A. J. Jones, vice Goodrich; Carter H.

Harrison and A. S. Trude, vice; Hopkins and Spangler. The committee listened to reports from the various districts, and these reports, according to Mr. Hinrichscn, Indicate a majority outside of Cook county for William J.

Bryan of more than 40,600. The meeting was addressed by Marion C. Crawford and Major pace, candidates for lieutenant-governor and treasurer. Governor Altgeld appeared before the 'committee at the morning session, but stayed only long enough to inform the campaign managers in positive terms that the regular domoerats had only to keep their grip on the state to mak sure of Bryan getting its electoral vote. He was confident that Illinois was in the hands of the, democracy on the free silver Issue.

i Chairman Hinrlchsen was equally confident and enthusinstio over the election day outlook, saying: "No mat -ter what combination is made Bryan will get more than half the votes cast la Illinois in November. It ts truly surprising to note the tide which is setting in for free silver in this state. I a-dmit we will lose few democratic votes, but in a third of the counties the defection will not be noticeable. Governor Altgeld's popularity is great est, among the class that is demanding free silver, and Bryan is strong in cen tral and southern Illinois. Two of the bankers in my own county of Morgan are republicans, but for free silver, The richest man in Sangamon county.

Ben Caldwell, president of the Farm era' bank at Springfield, is an enthusi astic silver man and the democratic nominee for congress." At the afternoon session of the com ft) it tee the campaign assessments for the state, nominees to pay were 'fixed sad the committee adjourned Bine die, leaving to the executive committee the details of campaign preparatory work.

The committee received a letter from W. T. Jenny, chairman of the young mens' democratic club or Boston, stat ing that the club whic had already a membership Of 1,200 had repudtatad the Chicago platform and candidates and was engaged in active campaign work for the proposed ticket. t-3. M.

Faulkner of Montgomery Ala. who will represent that state at India napolls. wrote to say that a sound money club would be organized In Birm ingham this week with probably 1.000 Bigners to the call, including practically all the business men of the city. He Added: "1 believe thai! with proper management Alabama can be carried for sound money. I have cane conference here of the sound money men from different parts of Alabama for next Tuesdy, the flay following our state election.

G. H. Baskette. publisher of the Nash Vtlle Banner, wrote: "The sound money democrats of Nashville will organise August 4 and send a representative to the Indianapolis conferences. In Knox.

vill.e, Chattanooga and Other portions of Tennessee there win be similar or Sanitations and the state will have full representation at the national convey tion in September. John C. Bulleltt, th Pennsylvania souod money organiser and national committeeman, wrote that a majority or representative men rrom eacn county In the state would be caned for the pur pose of perfecting the organisation. Alex itamilton Of Petersboro, VaV wrote: "I have no reasonable accurate mode of estimating the number of dem ocrats in Virginia who will not vote for Bryan and the Chicago platform, bu I am inclined to think there art 25,000 If no sound money democrat is nomlnat ed for president a great number these people may be whipped Into the party traces and vote for Bryan rather than tor a republican and rattier tha not vote at an." F. P.

CANTON, Aug. $.

Major McKln-ley has haU a fnv days or rest and he is turning over In his mind the points which he thinks of discussing in his loiter of acceptance. He will hot aim, however, to have a letter ready for publication for three or four weeks. Kx-Senator B. K. Bruce of Mississippi was one of the caller on 'Major McKinley today.

He is familiar with the political situation throughout the acuth and thinks Vlajor McKinley will carrv Virginia. West Mary- aml Nortn Carolina and Kentucky. Said he: "It will be found that tho democratic politicians in the southern states have until recently been able to keep the southern states solid. Hereafter the- progressive elements will lake such steps as will advance the material prospects of that section. They want a protective tariff that will build up that section; that will invite the manufactuif-rs and do lor the states what It has Unite for the great north, east and west.

They look upon Major McKinley as the apostle of protection. They also want sound money instead of depreciated silver dollars, and they resard Major McKinley as the embodiment of that Idea. The colored voters of the country, both north and south, are enthusiastically supporting lajor McKinley." Much interest In the opening meeting of the Ohio campaign, which has been announced for August 15, hat been manifested. Many active McKinley men In both parties talk of going to Columbus, and it Is likely that a large tielgatlon from th country will attend. Kx-Sentnr Foraker and Senator Sherman will be the chief speakers and some orators Of prominence from the west will also be heard.

A local paper says: "It Is expected that Bran will pass through Canton next Monday, and Chairman Jones of the Bryan national committee is to have asked that an effart be made to make a big Bryan d(momtration at the Canton station for political effect."

is the fashion In these days," said the senator, "to poinl to stiraws to show how things are moving, and if they may be taken as an Indication of the actual condition of affairs I have only to point to existing conditions In my home county of Berkeley. This was the only county in my state that sent a sound money delegation to the convention to select delegates to the Chicago convention. This was only month or so ago, and at that time the sentiment appeared to be. all on the aids of the gold men. How is it today? A man could not be nominated and elected to the position of constable," said -Mr.

Faulkner, "unless he stood squarely on a free silver platform. In my mail this morning," said the deflator, "I received 4 letter from Canton, announcing the org.tnlBAtlon right In the home of Major McKinley of a republican Bryan free silver club and the election of a prominent republican and wealthy manufacturer as its temporary chairman. From another section I have received advloes that after a Bryan club had been organized thirty republicans and thirty-seven populists enrolled themselves as members and are doing good work for the democratic ticket. Up In Penncylvanla I have re-reived word that the silver sentiment is spreading with great rapdity and in the Eleventh congressional district, one that has always been heavily republican, we are assured we have an even chance Of carrying the district for the democracy." Asked when he thought the campaign would be formally opened. Kena-tor Faulkner stated that he did hot think it wise to begin the speechmsk-lng until about the middle of September.

"It takes some little time," he said, "to organise a corps speakers and arrange for the canvass. I do not myself approve of too long a campaign, but that matter during a presidential year is left largely to the national committee." While Senator Jonps, Chairman of the national committee, will be guiued largely by the wishes of Mr. Uryan, Mr. Faulkner believes he will ultimately select Washington as the headquarter of the national committee. Speaking of the alleged revision the Chicago speech of Mr.

Bryan, Sen ator Falukner said: "The changes made by Mr, Bryan are immaterial and consist of a word here and there. The stenographers had no means of knowing taking the speech as it fell from the lips Of the speaker where had used quotations and in the. revision It will be found that Mr. Bryan places quotation marks around the whole sentenae referring to the "crown of thorns and the cross of The criticism "of this passage has been hypocritical, nnd it would be but fair to Mr. Bryan that this speech should be printed properly in every navicular.
