It is here thought that the principal

was more to harmonize the sectional
feeling within the Alliance than to add
strength to the ticket. The ticket will
cut no figure in the Democratic ranks

of tho Bourbons to dotract attention

"The contest to-dny has brought

BfiAND UNEASY.
Be Strike* a Snag and If Saepleloas of a
Pitfall.
' Washington, ij. .v., juiy o.?je.vorybody
in tho House this morning was
discussing tho .prospects of the silver
bill. It is clour that Beprosontativo
Culberson, the chairman of tho judiciary
committeo, has discomfited his froe
silver friondu by his statement that tho
senate bill would destroy tho logal tendor
character of tho treasury notes
issued under tho terms of the act of
1890, which the bill repeals. Tho result
of that declaration has been to create a
division among the froe silver men. A
number of thom, including Mr. Bland
himself, accopt Sir. Culberson's opinion
and behove that the bill will have to bo
amended to cure the defect. Un the
other hand a largo number, probably a
majority of tho Democrats, and no inconsiderable
number of Hopubiicans,
i take issue with Chairman Culberson's
viuw aad hold that the Dill doos not in
any way affect tho legal tender charm-t
tor of tno treasury notos. Those opinions
do not Batisfy Mr. Bland, who iB
, evidently under the suspicion that his
political enomios aro digging a pit for
his feet by facilitating tho passage of a
bill which .tho President mighfvoto
without committing himself on the
merits o! the question.
Mr. Bland said as to this objoct that
i the President would not voto the bill
. upon any such indictment as a possible
, legal construction of ono of its provisions,
but with his usual directness
would stamp it with his disapproval because
it was a frco coinage bill; The
broaching of this legal question has the
effect to cause sotno members to talk of
referring that featuro of the bill to the
' judiciary committee for examination
and report, but that it is probable that
this will come to nothing and tho coin1
ago committee will be left to deal with
' tho matter in its own fashion.
Mr. Bland, the chairman, has callod
a special mooting for to-morrow at 10
o'clock and will try to force tho fight.
Tho anti-silver Oethocrati will not
' wait to inako tho fight in committee
' but have already begun to obstruct tho
bill by striving to haro it reforrod to
! various committees supposed to be
hostile to tho measure. They have not
1 been able as yot to get any assurances
' of support from tho senators and are
extremely anxious as to tho outcome.
With tho aid of tho Republicans in n
. refusal to vote a quorum could probably
. bo broken and action upon tho bill bo
indefinitely postponoil, But tho Bo'
publicans are maintaining an air of rei
serve, and are not giving any comfort to
i the antl-silvor Democrats. Thoro has
- boon no conforence among them, but
I many of them said this morning that in
tho absence of any programme, they
; shall voto against the Dill so as to go on
i record and will not assist in any other
t obstructive movement.
Tho committee on rulos of tho house
t did not meet this morning, but will try
i to got together to-morrow. Mr. Catchf
ings savs that so far the majority of tho
committoo has liot had any conforonco
respecting tho settlement of tho silver
bill and ho is not propurod now to say
t whether the committoo will roquiro a
. potition signed by the majority of tho
Democrats boforo they \yill report a

Topeka, Kaw., July 6.?Tho Demo* '
cratic statcfeconvcntlon meets hero tomorrow.
Many of the delegates are in
tho city, but thoro no candidates for
nomination, the genoral Inference being
that tho Democrats will indorse
the People's state ticket.
The only obstacle to fusion appears
to be tho cortainty of the People's party
loadors that tliev do not need Democratic
assistance and say thoy can carry
tho state unaided. Of course they would
not object to Demoorats endorsing the
People's party ticket, but tho Domocrate
decline to do that unloss some of
tho congressional nominees will receive
the endorsement of the people's party.
It looks now as if the 1oadora.of tho two
Eartles would come to some agreement
y which fusion will bo arranged for.
