What Antieilverites Propose to Do In Virginia and \Vhat They Propose Not to Do In Indiana—Anti-McKin- ley Meeting to Be Held. RICHMOND, May 20.—On account of the fact that a number of the most prominent Democratic business men in‘this state who are opposed to free silver have manifested a disposition not to take part in the com- ing convention primaries the leaders are making vigorous efforts to stem the tide of disafieotion. The list of those who have declared their purpose not to sup- port a free silver nominee for president includes some of the most influential manufacturers and capitalists in Rich- mond. “‘ Appeals are now being made for Democrats to abide the result of their na- tional convention regardless of what its action may be on the financial question. This threatened revolt of Richmond busi- ness men dates ‘back more than a year ago, when influential members of that side publicly proclaimed their purpose of refusing to support a free silver nominee for president if one should be chosen at Chicago. Governor O’Ferrall has favored party realty above everything else, and during the last few days has impressed his views upon many of those who had difiered . with him about this matter of accepting the nominee regardless of his views on silver. The widespread agitation of the finan; cial issues this year has induced many business men here to require long running notes to be paid in gold. At present all deeds of trust or notes made in Henrico stipulate that the “principal and interest shall be paid in gold of the present stand- ard and’fineness.” Matthews For Free Coinage, INDIANAPOLIS. May 20,—Governcr Mat. ' thews says that he does not intend to make any additional declaration on the money question at this time. “The last letter of mine made "public was not written for publication,” he said. “It was marked ‘Personal, ’ but since it has been made public I must say that there is nothing in it that I will not stand by.” , It is understood here that Governor Matthews is in favor of free coinage. His campaign for the nomination for president will from this time on be made as an ad- vocate of silver coinage. He was .for a time in doubt about the advisability of getting entirely over into the free silver field, but within the last three days he has decided that his fortunes lie with the free silver people. The leading advocates of sound money in the party here announced that they have abandoned the fight against the free silver men. A solid free silver delegation will undoubtedly be sent to Chicago. Benjamin F. Shively of South Bend, who has been the leading Democratic advocate of free coinage in the state for several years, will be nominated for governor by acclamation. Carlisle Is a Candidate. 'CINOININ NATI, May 20.—Cclonel Henry Queen of Covington, Who is a close friend of Secretary J. G. Carlisle, has returned from Washington. The colonel smiled knowingly when asked if Mr. Carlisle was a candidate for the presidency on the Democratic ticket and pulled a few Car- lisle buttons from his pocket, with the re- mark, “That looks like it, doesn’t it?” Colonel Queen added that Carlisle had intended visiting Kentucky, but would be detained in Washington for awhile by the bond issue investigations.

' DUBUQUE, ’13., May 20.—Secretary Walsh is the first member of the Demo cratic state central committee to arrive here to attend the Democratic state con- vention which will be held tomorrow.

Harvard biock Conventions. BOSTON, May 20.—Russell and McKin- ley are Harvard's choices for president, as shown by the mock national convention.

The Duke of Orleans Writes Truths to,His Supporters. PARIS, May 20.—-A letter which the Duke of Orleans has written to the Duke of Daudifret Pasquier, who has resigned the presidency of the Royall-t committee, has just been published. The letter shows that the split in the ranks of the French Royalists is in part due to the committee disapprOving of the Several . Duke of Orleans’ idea of submitting him- self as a candidate for election at Cholet, not in order to sit in the chamber of dep- uties, but to give an opportunity for a Royalist demonstration, and also because the Duke of Orleans declines to disavow his cousin, Prince Henry of Orleans, for accepting the decoration of the Legion of Honor from the government in recogni- tion of his travels in the far east. The Duke of Orleans’ letter is very blunt and dictatorial in tone. Referring to the question of his candidacy, he says: ‘fIt is necessary to choose between play- ing at monarch and making it a reality. If you think that the French monarchy. as it was constructed in the past, can be reconstructed in the future by an aflecta- tion of inert and expectant dignity, stand- ing motionless on distant shores because of the greatness of its traditions and deeming itself too lofty to mix with men and things. We are not of one mind. “Those from whom I descend confronted many struggles. and many risks other than these at which your zeal takes alarm, 1 remain the judge of the royal dignity. I hold that it will not be impaired—far from it—if in some French village, even were it the humblest—for all are alike dear to me—the electors designated me to serve my country in accordance with the exam- my ancestors. “Do you wish that I should, by vain distrust of universal suffrage, justify the absurd legend of the alleged incompatibil- ity of the monarchical and the elective right, when it is evident to my eyes that the two principles are constantly tending to combine and to blend in a system of compromise?’ ’ Rescuers Burned to Death.
