Wednesday night fulled to miiko them
good yesterday. Not a Blnglo warllko
note was sounded and no defiances
were uttered olthor by tho men who
demand that "1C to 1" shall be the
rallying cry In tho next campaign or
by those who opposo its adoption.
The only move looking toward recog
nition of tho silver mon by tho national
committee was during tho afternoon,
when tho Ohio Valley Bimetallic league
was admitted to tho committee room
and James P. Tarvin, of Kentucky,
acting as spokesman, read the resolu
tions adopted by the committco nt
their meeting early In tho day at tho
l'almer Houso.
These resolutions demanded that
planks bo Inserted In tho next Demo
cratic national platform opposing
trusts, opposing "imperialism," and ad
hering to tho silver ratio of 10 to 1.
"And along theso lines we offer you
our aid," said Mr. Tarvin. Thero was
a defiant accent upon tho word "these"
that Beemed to Imply that the support
of the blmetallists could bo secured
along no other lines than those mark
ed out, but of this tho committee took
no notice. The bimetallic league was
courteously thanked for Its proffof ot
assistance and assured that It would
be called upon at such times as the
national committee felt In need of Its
assistance. Thot was tho beginning
and end of the silver episode.
Tho fight against P. J. Devlin, editor
of the press bureau of tho national
committee, was brought to a finish, tho
Harrison faction of Illinois securing
his deposition for tho part taken by
him as an officer of tho national com
mltteo in the last mayoralty election in
Chicago, he supporting Altgold against
Harrison.
Tho fight between the Illinois fac
tions began as soon as Mr. Bryan ar

gold faction asking htm to bo at tho
meeting wunoui rail, ana the Harrison
men asking that he remain away from
the Auditorium altogether. Mr. Bryan
was in a dilemma, and for a long time
would not declare himself. He said
that he had accepted the Invitation for
the meeting, and that thero was no
apparent reason why ho should de

mand Of a DOlitlcal faction hnctlln tn

At the same time he expressed himself
as being anxious to avoid anything
that would create further friction, and
as a remedy proposed that the Alt
