The Hon. William d. Bynum, the dis
tinguished Indiana Congressman, Is ON q
visit, with his family, to DR.. K p Blakis-
tones popular Summer Resort, River
Springs.
Your correspondent had the pleasure of
meeting Mr.. Bynum and his wife, during
a brief call, on Sunday last, and was most
favorably impressed by the pleasant and
afFable manner In which he was received.
Mr.. Bynum converscd freely upon public
questions and discussed men and measures
in a manner which showed thorough ia.
miliarity with national affairs. He thought
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination the strongest
that could have been made. He believed
he was the choice Of an overwhelming ma
jority Of Democrats of the country and
felt not only hopeful but reasonably well
assured of his election. OF course, we
could not expect such phenomenal major
ity as that in 1890, but he believed that
many of the Western States which then,
for the first time in many years. took their
places in the Democratic column, would
remain with US this Fall, though probably
by reduced majorities. He thought Tariff
Reform, opposition to the Force Bill and
an economical administration of our ma
tional government were the great issues
upon which the Democrats would win.
Free coinage is dead for the present, and in
all probability for many years 10 come, or
until there is an agreement by an interna-
tional monetary conference. He thought
it was o mistake in Democrats to attempt
to press the passage of the bill after our
National Convention had proclaimed the
policy of our party TO be opposed TO the
measure. Though, as the bill was passed
by Republican Senate and defeated-by q
Democratic House, he did not anticipate
| any evil effect from its consideration,
though he admitted that Free Coinage was
strong in the South and many of the
Western States. The people, however,
were 60 strong in their faith in Mr.. Cleve.
lands honesty and ability, that they were
willing TO trust him, even though his views
might not be in entire accord with their
own on some public questions.
Mr.. Bynum was one of the Congression-
al Committee to visit Homestead, the scene
of the recent riot at the Carnegie works
He regards the situation there as quite Sc
rious. All viii be quiet so long as the
military remain, but it Is very uncertain
what state Of affairs may result from a
withdrawal of the troops and the attemp,
Of the company TO introduce non-union
workmen or TO guard their works with
Pinkerton Detectives
He paid high compliment TO our inn
mediate representative in Congress. the
Hon. Barnes Compton, whom he said was
an able, faithful and efficient member, and
one whose social and personal qualities
rendered him popular and influential.
Mr.. Bynum Is O gentleman Of distin.
| guished bearing, but whose pleasant ad'
dress and affable manners render him oI
easy approach. His accomplished wife
and daughter give charm to his family
circle and smooth the rugged path Of q
statesman's life.
