I'hiludcdphiti, Aug. 7. The Kvening
Telegraph this ufternoon publishes an
Interview Willi Secretary Whitney ob
tained by a staff correspondent and
wired to that paper from New York
tills afternoon, in the Interview Mr.
Whitney expresses the belief that Mc
Klnley will carry New York state by
I'OO.Ooo majority. The Interview follows:
"Is It true, Mr. Whitney, that you
euss New York state as doubtful?"
"True, sir? There Is not a word of
I ruth in it. It Is not only fu'se, hut it is
absolutely false."
"Was this statement circulated with
the objec t of placing you in a com
promising position, and for a mercenary
purpose?"
"These jieople have no object und
no power to effect any compromise, in
my opinion, I'iiI'di innately, perhaps,
1 am regarded as uleader of the sound
money movement In the Democratic
party, und u good many people, whether
wisely or not, attach Importance to my
nib ranee. When It Is alleged that I
yield New York to the silver people
they regurd the situation of sound
money us perilous. Knowing this to be
the effect of what such statement from
me on the subject would be, the bear
element, which has been raiding stocks
for a long time, ami which wants some
new argument to further depress, has
most unwarrantably seized upon my
name, unci attributed this declaration
to me. It Is false, wholly false."
Then you do not give up the state?"
NHW YORK Wild. NOT HKPI'DIATK
"What?" (live up the state of New
York on an issue which means repu
diation, never. There is nothing, ab
solutely nothing to justify honest men
from yielding an inch of their ground,
on the contrary, you may express it
as my linn conviction that Mr. Mc
Kinlcy will carry this state by fully
liOO.ow majority, uml In that majority
you will lind men of all classes who put
patriotism over pailisausliip in an Is
sue of tli is kind. I have no hesitation
in uxpr.-a!nR tills belief. It -comes
from what I huve Pcen, what I have
heard, what I have investigated, und
what I know. People who understand
me would not for an instant accept
us tue any such statement us that
attributed to me to-duy, but there are
thousands who do nut know me who
would readily accept uny such report,
and this Is all the bears want. To
start a break It Is only necessary to
cause a fright."
"You. have never given up New
York?"
"Never. When the Chicago conven
tion turned deaf ears to the Kmplre
state delegation New York was lost
to the nominees it selected, and from
that day the native honesty of our peo
ple has been steadily asserting Itself
In antagonism to the vicious sliver
heresy. You may say for me that If I

MR. WRIGHT'S LETTER.
Pennsylvania Democratic Chairman
Gives His Reasons fur Bulling
the Chicago Ticket.
Allentown, l'a Aug. 7. Ttobnrt R
Wright, chairman of the Democratic
State committee, has resigned his lead
ership of the Democratic party In Penn
sylvania, in an open letter dated Aug.
7, to the secretary of the Democratic
State central committee, he gives his
reusoiis for resigning. The letter Is us
follows:
Alletitoa-n, IM Aug. in, IWiii.
Sir. Matt 8av:ige, Secretary Democratic
Slide Committee Clearllelil. 1'n.
Imir Sir: I hand you my resignation
of the chairmanship of the stale central
committee, uml authorise you tu present
it at Hie meeting which has been called
for August Hi.
in rcllntpiWiing the portion I feel that
It Is due to Hie committee, from which
I have always received the most cordial
support, as well us Just to myself, that I
should freely declare to them the reasons
Impelling me to this conclusion.
Kntrtisteil at the Alletiluwn convention
with the work of preparing the outline of
a platform for its consideration, I sub
mitted a financial plank which received
the unanimous approval of the delegate
assembled, and which was truthfully de
clined ill the platform Itself to be "expres
sive Of the sentiments of the united De
mocracy of Pennsylvania."
To that declaration I cordially sub
seribed ill April, and it accords with my
convictions now.
I believe 't expresses the views of a
large majority of the Democrats of Penn
sylvania ut this time.
I cannot bring myself to believe that the
hundreds of Democratic newspapers, and
hundreds of thousands of Democratic vot
ers in this state, who In June of this year
proclaimed their adherence to the Allen
town platform, were aught but sincere
then, nor that they huve abandoned their
opinions since.
It Is uporent on the contrarny, that they
have hul subordinated their own convic
tions to the decree of the Chicago con.
Venllon.
Ill this submission to that decree I for
one cannot own.
It was brought about by undemocratic:
Inlhjeiices ,nnd gives expression to doc
trines not only subversive of nil that De
mocracy has taught on the subject but
which I believe will bring dishonor upon
the country. Incalculable harm to Its peo
ple, and disaster to our party.
I am a Democrat because I believe In
that code of governmental doctrines that
for nearly a century has stood for De
mocracy In this country.
Party organization,' and a submission
to majorities in duly organized party tri
bunals are doubtless of great Importance.
Vet they are but instrumentalities to an
end. They cease to be useful when correct
principles are abandoned, ami become ab
solutely dangerous when false doctrines
and unrighteous purposes are proclaimed.
In Full Rehearsal
I conceive that the most dangerous dem
onstration of the past month, is to be
found In the apparent ease with which a
great political party has been suddenly
turned from its well settled convictions lo
views diametrically their opiioslte, for no
other reason than because an accidental
and temporary majority In a party con
vention has so ordered.
When It comes to pass tlvit polltlr.il
parlies are mere machines, swayed at will
by leaders and conventions. Instead of be
ing aggregations or Individual thinkers
moved by some common and Intelligent
purpose for good, an evil time will have
come to the republic.
Tested by clearly defined, and oft re
pented declarations of Democratic duc
trlne. the Chlcugo platform III "my Judg
ment Is not a Democratic utterance. It
Is coldly received, or openly opposed by
hundred of thousands of life long Ixmuo.
erats, and by the great leaders In hum
the party has trusted; while It Is haded
with boisterous demonstrations of ap
proval 'by political organtailiiMis wilh
w hich Democracy lias bit hel lo had no
sympathy.
Abandoning the sound money doctrines
always upheld by our party, this plat
form proposes to flood the country with a
debased silver currency, ami compel Its
circulation at double Its Intrinsic value.
Kor the first time In the history of civil
ized countries it Is Intended that silver
shall be freely coined Into money without
limit as to quantity, and without refer
ence to Its Intrinsic worth
No pledge i made 'or its redemption,
no provision fur maintaining; it on a
parity with gold. On the contrary, the
means that have enabled the present ad
mnistratlun to maintain the credit of the
government, und to keep the present ts
sues of silver ecpud to gold, are now to be
tukeli from It. Its protecting hands are
to be tied, while the wage earners mid
thrifty citizens of the country ure left to
bear the losses that ill my opinion would
be Inevitable. Not content with burden
ing the country with this terrible load of
depreciated silver, it is proposed to adcl to
It unlimited Issues of greenbacks redeem
able III tills debused coin.
The curse of an Irredeemable paper
money, that has wrought ruin in every
cuuutry that ever resorted to It, and
against which the Democratic party has
ever consistently fought, is tu be visited
upon us.
The power to borrow money to meet Its
current obligations and maintain Its
credit, a power Inherent In the 'smallest
sub-division of local government, Is to be
taken from the general government, leav
ing Its honor and credit the sport of Ir
responsible speculators upon national ells,
uf.ter.
The best and pafest system of banking
and of paper money the world has ever
seen. Is to be stricken down to be re
placed by the worst that the Ingenuity i f
mall bus ever devised.
Ill 1SH:! a national Democratic conven
tion, at the dictation of the smith ami ex
treme west, declared 111 favor of the freest
poi.silile issue of banking currency, ami In
ls;'.e; at the behest of the sa.me sections it
declares against ail such Issues.
Then we declared that our gold ami sil
ver coin metals must lie of eipial intrinsic
value, and that the parity of all Issues
must be maintained; now we denounce
Intrinsic equably and make parity of
value impossible
The Chicago platform attacks the Su
preme court of the country, and makes a
covert threat to reorganize It. so that its
decision;, may lie reversed. No act in t tie
history of the Itepuhllcun party ever re
ceived severer condemnation from De
mocracy than cllil its prostitution of the
Supreme court in the same wuy, during
the administration of President Grunt.
It invites anarchy by denouncing Pres
ident Cleveland for following the example
of Jackson In enforcing federal laws by
the armed power of government, when
riot reigned In Chicago.
With tliise declarations of principles
a lid policy, and with the influences behind
them, t have no sympathy.
Much as I love Democracy and revere
its history, I cannot follow those who
have "stolen Its banners while trampling
on Its principles."
Opposition to this platform means fi
delity to Democracy and to country, tn
liberty, to progress, to all that Is worth
preserving In Ainer'can civilization.
Ilespectfully yours,
, Hubert K. Wright.

Indianapolis, Aug. 7. The conference
of the sound money Democrats fully
met the expectation of its promoters.
There were thirty-three slates repre
sented and about 200 Democrats from all
over the country In attendance. Though
the must famous politicians of the party
were ubsent, this fact did not dampen
the ardor or determination of those
present to go ahead and put in the field
a ticket and platform that would repre
sent what they believed' to be the real
tenents of the Democratic party of the
country. The conference reflected in
lance measure the class of Democrats
It represented,- that Is, the business ele
ment. They did not come here to make
great speeclies or to play at politics and
went at their work In a business-like
way without waste of time In contests
for honor or preliminary iminoouveiing.
An Informal conference was held at
noon, which was nut open to the public,
the purpose of which was to bring into
line the members from Texus, Deorgia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Malm-,
w ho came here with the Impression that
a third ticket Would prhhubly do more
harm than good by dividing the sound
money forces of the country. At this
conference speeches were made by Gen
eral Buckner, of Kentucky; Mr. Outh
waite. of Ohio; Mr. Wilson, of Incliuna,
und Mr. Kwiug, of Illinois, demonstrut
inyr the fact that In their states a third
ticket was necessary In order that the
sound money Democrats might have
some rallying l-olnt, something to tight
for and to muke a campaign for. They
deciared that In this section of the coun
try wjiere every Inch of political ground
has been fought over year by year, there
is more in a political name than in a
pollticul principle with the average
Voter aud large numbers of Democrats
who would be inclined to Vote for a
sound money Democratic ticket would
swallow Hryun and the Chicago plat
form eventually rather than vote the
Republican ticket. Hefore the confer
ence at noon ended, ull opposition to
the calling of another convention was
withdrawn und it was agreed that the
meetings of the committees in the after
noon and evening should be public. It
was also formally agreed that tieneral
John M. Palmer, of Illinois, should be
made permanent chairman of the pro
visional committee.
Tulks among the delegates exhibited
much confidence in the success of the
sound money movement.
tlENKHAL COXI0Y API'KARS.
Oeneral Coxey of Commonweal fame
created a ripple of excitement by ap
pearing' at the headquarters hotel dur
ing the morning. He is making
speeclies In the Btate for the Populist
organization and was simply over be
tween appointments.
The action of the committee was har
monious und was quic kly taken. The
afternoon session which was presided
over by W. D. Dynuin, lasted but an
hour, but In that time It determined
tu call a convention and chose Indian
apolis as the place.
At the evening session the formal
cull for the convention was adopted
and the date Ilxexd at September
The large assembly room of the Com
mercial club was packet! to the door
with alsiut 300 people nt 2:30 o'clock,
the time set for the opening session.
Congressman Bynum called the confer
ence to order explaining thut he did
so In the absence of Oeneral Hrngg,
chairman of the executive committee,
who had been delayed on his way from
the east by a washout near Hlchmond
and did not get In until about 4 o'clock.
He announced that Oeneral Palmer
was also on the road and would arrive
shortly. In view of these facts the
excutive committee hnd suggested that
the permanent organization of the pro
visional committee lie postponed until
this evening at 8:30 o'clock and they
proceeded for the present under the
temporary organization. Mr. Ew'ng

New York, Aug. 7. Committeeman
Wise Is running affairs ut the National
Republican hi-ade put iters In the absence
of Mr. liaunu, Vlce-pivsiilentlal candi
date llobart is expected this afternoon
to assist Mr. Wise In receiving callers
unci transacting campaign business.
Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, vis
ited headeiuarters this morning und had
a conference with Mr. Wise und Gcncntl
Powell Clayton, who was also a caller.
'Senator Elkins subsequently stated to
a reporter of the United Associated
Presses: "I came here to pay my re
spects to headquarters and to see how
things were getting along."
With regard to the situation In West
Virginia, the Senator said: 'Every
thing looks encouraging and favorable
for Rcpublic-un success. 1 do not think
the silver question has affected the Re
publican purty materially, und believe
that uny Republican loss we may sus
tain will be more than offset by Dcmo
cratlc; defections. What I state is based
upon careful investigation.
"We have been organizing In West
Virginia for the past two months and
I have every reason to believe that the
silver movement Is on the wane In West
Virginia.
"Every day we are making progress,
as the people now understand the cfues
llon, which they did not at tlrst. West
Virginia Is a protection state. It de
pends for its business on lumber, iron
and pottery manufactures.
"Bryan Is an udvunced free trader
and wus against every one of these in
terests. He says duty on coal is inde
fensible. West Virginia Is a great coal
bearing region. Bryan was the worst
enemy of the interests uf West Virginia
of any man in Congress."
Speuklng of the attitude uf the con I
miners of West Virginia the Senator
said:
"The coal miners are not carried awny
by the silver business; they are un In
tellectual body of men and know on
what Bide their Interests He. They do
not wunt free coal or free Iron ore. I
want It to be understood thut I am for
moderate protection. With moderate
protection und our sound money the Is
sues we will win In West Virginia.
"Why the government hus lost $170,
000,000 through the silver buslness.By
this I mean it the silver It bought some
time ago was on the market now Jt
would be sold at a loss of $170,000,000",
The Senator expressed himself as con
fident that the Republicans would win
this campaign. He will remain In this
city until tomorrow when he returns
home.
RAILROADERS ORGANIZE.
Aroused by Aggressiveness of Silverites,
They Will Send Sound Money
Literature to Employes.
Philadelphia, Aug. 7. The railroad
companies of the country have been
aroused by the agressiveness of the
silver movement and are bestirring
themsi'lves to combat the principles
of flee coinage among their employes.
The companies are distributing sound
money literuture, but deny that any
official Influence Is intended to be ex
erted over the men.
President Spencer M. Janny of the
Huntingdon and Broad Top road Is ona
of the conspicuous figures in the move
ment, and when seen to-day said that
he deemed it a duty to strive to prose
cute the work to successful results,
for he believed Hint victory for the sil
ver people meant a sad and disastrous
blow to railroad employes, as well as
lo all legitimate business Interests
(throughout the country, and he thought
much could be accomplished by laying
a groundwork among Hie men by sound
money literature.
This afternoon President Janne-y re
ceived a batch of replies from the ex
ecutive bends of a number of railroads
with whom he had communicated upon
the subject of sending out literature
to their cmlpoyes. A lurge number of
replies were to the effect thut the work
had already begun, und others declared
their Intention to commence It ut an
early day.
In the number of replies received by
President Janney to-day was one from
President lugulls of the Big Four mad,
stating that his company had already
begun the distribution of sound money
literature.
