WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-The three most
extreme men among the silver men are
Bland Of Missouri. Warner of Ohio and
Weaver of Iowa Gen. Weaver was the
Greenback candidate for the presidency
during the Garfield year. He Is the most
prolific with financial suggestions of the
three named. He has already introduced
enough finance bills and amendments to the
constitution TO occupy the entire session if
they should be reported. Gen. Weaver is
tall, broad-shouldered, and has a figure
which is inclined to be stout. He dresses
in carelessly-made and loosely-fitting black
frock suits. He has a round, nearly bald
head, thinly shaded by wisps Of gray
ish brown hair. His face is
shaver smooth. with the exception Of
gray mustache, which completely hides his
mouth. His nose is straight. He is SO
years of age. He was born in Ohio and
was educated as a lawyer, but during the
latter stages of his life he has been an
editor.
MIR. BLAND
Is the most successful of the three men
mentioned. He has never done anything
since the passage of his bill to remonetize
and TO coin the silver dollar at the rate of
1000. 600 Of them a month except to stand
guard over this bill. He is man below
medium height and would weigh about $50
pounds. He has a hOarse, deep voice, and
a rather dull style of oratOry, yet he has
logged persistence and continuity of pur-
pose which explain his success.
His complexion is very sallOw
and marked with strong shades.
His eyes are intensely black and deep set.
His forehead Is broad and full thinly shaded
nv tuslfz haf ha .T
his face is squared off with a short beard
and mustache of the same color as his hair.
He is just so years old, and is now serving
his seventh term in congress. He is man
of upright character. and so far as his pri-
vate record goes is the equal of any man in
the house.
MIR. WARNER,
the third member of the financial trio. is
very tall and round-shouldered. He has a
pOck-marked, hawk-billed face. which is
shaven down to the jaws. From below this
line there is struggling growth of black,
furZe-like beard. He dresses in
black. his clothes hanging as
loosely upon him as if they
were hung upon pole. He is quite lame,
and even in walking about the house uses a
large, stout cane. He is now serving his
third term as member. He is very well
read in financial matters. and has the au-
thorities who support his particular views
at his finger ends. He had a very bitter
personal fight in his district last year and
was reelected only with difficulty. One of
the soundest of the financial men upon the
Democratic side Is
MIR. SCOTT
of Pennsylvania. He is tall, straight and
slight. He dresses in carefully-made suits
of black. and is generally seen in the house
with pair of black-rimmed eyeglasses
pressed up very closely against his
keen, sharp, brown eyes. His face
is fresh eolOred and rather sharp I'm its out
lines. A reddish mustache, long and lux
uriant, is the only ornament of his smooth
face. His forehead is broad and high,
while his sandy Drowned hair is beginning
10 thin upon the top of his head. He is as
clean cut as diamond in his expressions.
and has very little patience with people
who have muddy financial views. He will
be prominent figure in the coming finan-
cial debates. His proposition to have the
people regulate the silver coinage is not
relished by the silver men in the house. He
wants to put out the silver dollars now in
the treasury by suspending the coinage I'M
til the reserve there is reduced to $50. 000,-
600. Every time this reserve falls below
TWENTY MILLIONS
then the minis are to be set agoing to keep
up to that limit. There must be almost
twenty millions on hand. Mr.. Scott claims
that if the people want the silver dollar all
they will have to do is to step up to the
treasury and get it. He thinks that it will
bother the silver men 10 make any satisfac-
tory objections to his proposition to regu-
late the silver question. Mr.. Scott is a very
rich and successful man. He is particularly
kind to those with whom he has business
relations. 1t is said of him that no man
was ever in business with him that did not
get rich. He Is not only satisfied with max
ing money for himself, but has much of the
nature of George w. Childs in desiring to
see those about him prosper. He is sue
cessful stock raiser and has a great farm
near Erie, Pa, his home. He is a very
liberal entertainer. lie is fond of WASH
ington and apparently intends TO make it
his winter headquarters for some time, for
he has the house which he now occupies on
a ten years lease.
