days would be required for personal
examination of the point; that, however,
he would accept the proof that the
funds were in hand if the bonds were
actually issued and placed in the hands

Colorado MiIlionaires to Manda-

DENVER, Col, Dec. 17.-David Fl.
Moffat, ex-senator Tabor and other
millionaire mining men have decided
upon bold step to test the question of
free coinage of silver under the present
law. Arrangements have been made
for an agent of Senator Tabor to have
ready a bar of silver containing 900
ounces, accompanied by certificate of
its fineness from the mint. This will be
presented at the treasury department at
Washington and a demand made that it
be exchanged for coin. The demand
will, of course, be refused, when writ
of mandamus will be obtained from the
United States court and the matter will
become the ground for a legal battle.
The theory of this action is that the law
and its Interpretation are unconstitu-
tlonal and that the government has no
right to refuse coin for bullion.

HURON, S. D., Dec. IA number of
prominent Democrats are here to-day,
discussing the senatorial question.
Among them are z. f. Mcclure, Judge
Tripp and Gen. Taylor. 1t is
evident that Tripp is far in
the lead as successor to Senator Moody,
and his hackers will vigorously work
for his nomination until the last. Know
ing ones declare that neither Harden or
Moody has anything like as good show
of success as Tripp. In fact, Moody
cuts but little figure. The most en-
couraging feature in Tripp's behalf is
the dissatisfaction among the Repubii-
cans, many of them openly avowing
war against Moody. Should it appear
that TripD cannot win, an arrangement
with Independents has been promui-
gated whereby Harden, who is really a
Democrat. will be put into the field
against Moody. Present indications
are that Judge Tripp will be the FORUM
ate man.
