NEWPORT. Feb 25-Upon being shown

Honey replied:
why. the question as to whether am
for Hill or for Cleveland is one too ridicu-
lous to require an answer.
LAS for my position on the silver ques-
ton, i am bimetallist and always have
been. The only question is, some believe
the United States should resume the free
coinage of silver at once. while others
think we should wait until some other
power is willing to adopt it, and am of
the latter belief"
But, Mr.. Mayor" ventured the scribe,
" j would like to be able TO say direct from
you either that you are a Hill man or that
you are not"
Why, certainly, / am not Hill man.
am for Cleveland, as have always been.
Why, broke from the Republican party
to support Mr. Cleveland, and il is only
within "a couple of years that the people
ceased to call me mugwump. Mr.. Cleve-
land knows how i stand on this question,
and Mr.. Hill also knows how stand. The
fact is all the Democrats in Rhode Island
are Cleveland men, but unfortunately
there are two kinds, one sham, the other
real"
And as n fear to express his views and
opinions is not one of the colonel's fail
ings il is reasonably evident that there is
a very pretty fight now on.
