WANTS A CONVENTION.

Hinrichsen of Illinois Makes a Formal Request. Springfield, 111., June 12.—William H. Hinrichsen, chairman of the state democratic central committee yesterday sent a circular letter to the members of the national democratic committee introducing the resolution adopted by the democratic state silver convention here last week. It requests the nationalecommittee to call a monetary convention of the party at once for the United States. The letter was sent to Ben T. Cable of Rock Island as the member from that state. Chairman Hinrichsen says if no attention is paid to the circular letter other steps will be taken to hold the national convention, by congressional districts, represented by each county in every state. He says the convention will be held soon in either St. Louis or Chicago.
