The Union-Herald says that Governor
Hampton does not have to offer q man q
chrome to induce him to accept Office
under his government. OF course not.
Every sensible man knows that the
Hampton government will succeed, and
then his ofilcers are sure to continue in
their positions during his administration
Poor Chamberlain is not 80 we'll of, fol
the public recognize the lact that his
prospects are continually weakening, and
therefore even chrome could not induce
prudent men to incur the responsibility
of exercising an illegal office.

CRAMPS LOUISIANA POLICY.

The sudden and unexpected interfer-

try, und it seems that his action was not
understood even by his party friends in
that State. Packard made haste to issue
proclamation against the Nichols gov
eminent, which was mere bTutem .tuimen
unless sustained by the power Of the
bayonet. Subsequent events convinced
Packard that his action was hasty and
inconsiderate, for the troops were not
placed at his disposal when he made the
demand for assistance. Grants order
was Issued after the most urgent entrea-
ties from his political friends, who insis.

The Silver Question.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean having
addressed circular letter to the vari-
Gus members of Congress, asking them
to indicate their position on the subj ct
of remonetizing silver, has received re-
plies from 1917. Of these, ISL favor
repeating the law eff '73 and restoring
the dollar of the Fathers to it's old
place in the coinage; Is are for remo-
netizing, with conditions attached; Is
oppose remonetizing; 8 are undecided
and two decline to answer. These. re-
plies are said to represent every state
in the Union.
The replies Of the Wisconsin delega-
ton are AS follows
HON. E. S BRAGG.
[ shall vote in favor of remonetiza-
ton.
HON. c. G. WILLIAMS.
Believing that the law under which
debt is contracted forms a part of the
contract, and remembering that many
of our bonds were negotiated at heavy
discount, | cannot think that either
law or equity requires more than is
called for upon the face Of the bond.

but acting upon what [ have | shall
vote for the silver doler a.
HON. L. b. CASWELL.
| am surprised that so many speak
of the "repeal" of the law of 1878.
That law is revision of authority for
coming silver, and it omits the silver
dollar. Simply, a law should be passed
authorizing the coinage of the silver
dollar. That is all that Is necessary.
To lepeal the law Of 1878 would be to
take away the authority for coming and
reconciliation. I voted several times
last session to restore the silver dollar
HON. H. L. HUMPHREY.
[ am for the repeal, and for the re.
stolation of the silver dollar, SO that
China, Japan and India will take it in
exchange as freely as gold | believe
the double standard the true one.
The answers Of Messrs. Lynde,
Bouck, Hazelton, Pound and Cameron
are not given, and it is not positively
known what their positions are, but it
is believed they are ali in favor of re-
monetization.
