Still Another Proposition!

s A. Peters, of Thcmpsonville, sug gests that all four contestants for the governorship of Connecticut start under Memorial arch and run for the govern or's room. The one that gets in frst, without the aid of crowbar, to be eov- ernor. The senate and house nf repre- sentatives could stand on each side and act ss umpir-s. It might be best fnr Acting-Govern Dulkeley to start ht- tie back of the rest, ss he has ha,i ex- perience in running for office. There would be fair opportunity for all inter ested in the dispute to come and look on and be satisfied as to fair play. This proceeding would be quite as dignitied ss those now going on at the capitol.

AGAINST FREE COINAGE.
The Boston Delegation Before the House Coin
age Committee.

The Boston Delegation Before the House Coin
age Committee.
The House committee on coinage, weights
and measures today heard further argument
by the delegation of Boston business men in
opposition to the free coinage bill. Arguments
were made against the bill by Gen. Walker,
president Of the Boston College of Technology;
Mr.. Endicott. president Of the Savings Bank of
Boston; Mr.. Hooper, treasurer OF Harvard Uni
versity; Prof. Taussig of Harvard, Mr.. Jack
son, stockbroker, and Mr.. Breed, all from
Boston.
Mr.. Walker argued that If the pending bill
became a law disastrous results to the property
of the country would follow; that all branches
OF trade would become paralyZed and disturbed
and that the financial credit of the United
States would be jeopardized. He believed
the pending bill to be a menace to the country
and contended that it would result simply in
stripping us Of our gold and reducing US to the
lines of second-class financial powers.
Mr.. Breed, representing a large number Of
manufacturers of Boston, protested against any
change in the present standard of value and
MIR. jackson thought that the constant agitation
of the silver question by Congress was detri-
mental to stability in the money market and
predicted panic unless the question was settled
one way or the other. The arguments generally
consisted Of a recital OF personal views or the
countered, owing to the stringency Of the mar
ket caused by the recent agitation of the silver
question.
MR.. HoLDEN's TELEGRAM.
telegram was handed to the committee
from E. Z. Holden, Colorado miner, now in
New York, reading as follows:
Fifty per cent of the gold produced in the
United States is found in silver ore. Are the
gentlemen of Boston aware of this fact? They
are not. If they were they would not attempt
to interfere with the industry Of silver mining.
II free coinage is defeated it will seriously in
jure the silver-mining industry and conse-
quently reduce the supply of gold produced
in the United States whereas, on the
other hand, free coinage of oliver will stimu-
late mining generally and increase the supply
of gold. If this condition obtains will gold be
at premium? 1 defy the Boston gold advo-
Gates to maintain such position.
The committee then adjourned until tomor-
row, when Director Leech will be heard.

THE SILVER POOL.
Representative Ketcham Denies Having Beer
Interested in Silver Speculation.

Representative Ketcham Denies Having Been
Interested in Silver Speculation.
Congressman j. H. Ketcham was examined
by the silver pool investigation committee this
morning. He appeared before the committee
voluntarily, and declared that the statement
which had been published yesterday connect
ing his name with silver speculations was un-
qualifiedly false. He had never bought or sold
an ounce of silver in his life, nor engaged in
any transactions relative thereto. He had
never owned q silver certificate, nor had he
been mixed up with silver speculation in any
way. He stated further that he had no
knowledge in regard to the connection of any
Senator or Congressman with the alleged silver
pool.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Ketcham's testi-
mony the committee went into secret session.
The committee adjourned later until tomor-
row afternoon. 1t was expected that Mr.
Heidelberg Of Chicago would be on hand for
examination today, but in the absence of that
gentleman and Of any other witnesses the hear
ing was necessarily postponed.
