Democrat* tn the State Convention May Dethrone Don M. Dickinson. Detroit, Mich., April 29. —So sure of victory are the anti-administration forces that they claim 150 majority in to-day’s convention and say that Don M. Dickinson will not be sent as a delegate to the national convention. Chairman Stevenson still claims that the administration forces will win. Tim Tarsney, an old war horse and great fighter, said that silver was sure to, win, and that no resolution would be allowed ‘ indorsing the administration. He also stated that there would not be one of condemnation either. A conference of silver leaders was held In the afternoon at which the question of the planks which should be insisted upon in the conven“on was discussed. Finally the matter as referred to a committe, which reported the following, which is regarded as approved by silver advocates generally: “Resolved, That it is the sense of this committee that a dominant issue before the convention is the unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio.of 16 to 1, and resolutions on no other lines than absolute and unqualified declaration in favor of such policy be encouraged or supported by the friends of silver.”
