THE MONEY QUESTION THE ISSUE The Women Suffragists, Too, Threaten a Bolt If They are Ignored The Sllverltes Said to be Largely In the Majority in the Convention. PiTTSnrnm, May 27. Thut thero will he n split in the Prohibition party us n result of tho national convention loadors of both factions freely admit this morning. Tho split will come, thoy say, over tho money plank in tho platform. As yet scarcely 11 word has been siild regarding prohibition. Money, the root of nil ovll, has boon the nil absorbing topic of discission. It has come to bo n bitter udficrlmonlous discus sion, and the opposing factions havo said many unkind things of oaoh other In the hotel lobbies. Tho blttomoss of feeling Increases hourly, and It promlsos to bo a battle of extermination, If a gold standard plank should be ndopted in tho party platform by tho dele gates from tho east, then thoso favoring the coinage cf silver at a ratio of 10 to 1 will socedo. If, on' tho othor hand, tho so en Antra e. bkxtlet. called freo silver delegates adopt a free coinago plank, then tho gold standard crowd will leavo, arid should tho conven tion fall to declare for woman suffrage the femlnlno portion of tho convention will sever its connection with tho party. It promises to bo n memorable conven tion for tho Prohibitionists, and bids fair to wreck the party, As yet no move has been made by any ono of tho contending factions for a compromiso. Each faction seems possossed by an undying confidence In Its ability to worst its opponents, and scoffs at tho idea of making terms. Thero wero thrco caucuses yoterday. Ono was hold by tho women, who decided that unless a suffrago plank wero Insortod in tho platform they would leavo tho party ; then tho free silver wing caucused and de clared their leader should run tipon a "broad gaugo" platform or nono at all, and Anally tho single Issuo crowd camu to gether and announced that neither freo silvor, woman suffrago, nor anything elso but prohibition should bo mentioned in tho platform. Much acrimonious talk has boon in dulged in by tho contending factions In the preliminary coutontion. Tho "broad gaugo, or freo silvor people havo boon bitterly upbraiding Sainuol Dickie, for what they term his "traitorous ' conduct. Ho is national chairman and a delegate front Michigan, uud Is tho only ono from Michigan who is out for a cold standard. In reply to thc-.o accusations Mr. Dickie said that ex-Uovernor ht. John and his JOSHUA LCVEI1INQ. freo silvor clique were guilty of uttering untruths. Ho justified his actions J,n ad vocating a gold standard by the statement that ho had Informed the Michigan con vention, when it instructed him by a ma jority of 100 for freo sliver, that he did not intond to nbldo by such Instructions, and usked that another ha selected to tako his place. Tho leading candidates for tho presiden tial nomination havo inudo'pttbllo declar ations as to whoro thov stand on money matters. Joshua Levorlng, after announc ing his ndherenco to a gold standard, said: "If the convention sees lit to adopt it broad guago platform I cannot assent to tho use of my name. Neither could I bo a candidate) in case tho party saw lit toplaco in charge of tho coming campaign of ficials who ontertaln vlows opposed to my own on thoso matters of Issuo." Itev. Dr. Uontley meets Mr. Levering half way and reiterates his statement, ox cept that his Is diametrically opposlto in to.:or. The freo silver faction claims to hnve an overwhelming majority nf the delestates, Chivernor St. John Is of the belief that the broad gaugo candidate will be nominated 011 the ilrst ballot "We Jmwiuiinlor tv of 100 now, and 1 think it wm bo in creased," he said. Samuel Dickie, f the single Issue fac tion, Is equally snm.-ulno th.it fro silver will be defeated, llut. whichever way it may result. Mr. Dickie Is of the belief that tho outcome will be a split in the party. At a meeting of tho centinl cmiilnlttco t( tho national Prohibition party last nignt a. a. htoveus, a narrow guago man, was selected to act as temporary chairman of the national convention. E. J. Wheeler. of New York, was tho candidate of the op- position, out wiien u vote had been cast and It had been shown that tho gold standard element had been successful tho 6llver men withdrew. They claim, how ever, tfcat thlslsuot atestof their strength In the convention. IMion's I.nteit Dlsiovury. NEW Yokk, Muy 27. Thomas A.
