Free Coinage.
BosroH. April 19.--At dinner OF the re-
publican clubs of Massachusetts to-night
President John Simpkina presided. Others
present were Senator Dolph, OF Oregon
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, chairman Of the
civil service commission; ex-senator HILL
OF Colorado, and ex-speaker Reed. Senator
Dolph was the frat SPEAKER and addressed
the audience on the silver question. Hc said,
IN part: Whatever diversity OF opinion there
may DO in this country there ID mono among
iinanciers and statesmen OF Europe. None
believe the free coinage OF silver in the
United States would have the effect to per-
manently increase the value Of silver, much
less raise u to S1.2929. While the convsn-
tions OF the republican, democratic and
peoples parties in Oregon endorsed the
FREQ coinage of silver two years ago. the re-
publican convention held on the 9Th inst.
endorsed the act Of July A, 1880. feel
eonfident similar change of public senti-
mont has taken place in most of the west
ern states, and that neither Of the nationa |
conventions will have the tsmerity to de-
olnre for the free coinage of silvsr.''
John L.. Dodge, president of the Harvard
republican club, followed in brief ad-
dress. Theodore Roosevelt, who spoke
next. said no intended next fall to do all in

attack and interfere with any person and
committee engaged in levying assessments
in violation Of the law.
Finally ex-speaker Reed was presented
and warmly crested. He said. in part: 1--WE
are on the verge OF prosperity, ana all that
Keeps it of is the uncertainty born Of the
democratic party. No.tariff bill they could
frame would DO worse for the business
world than the uncertainty under which
they are keeping u.s. Democrats say the
allyer legislation OF 1880 is all wrong, but
that act, passed when it was, saved this
country from the free coinage Of silver and
from disaster. Whenever you want any
thing done you come to the fountain which
flows incessantly with noble deeds--the re-
publican party of Abraham Lincoln

only to the triumph of the entire town
ticket, but to the majority of the alder
men.
The poll worker is conspicuous by his
absence in most of the wards, the new
law requiring that poll workers remain
at least 100 feet from the voting place.
One disgrsceful incident of the cleo
ton is the active partisan interest taken
by member of the police force in the
candidacy Of an uptown alderman who
is standing for reelection. This police
man has made himself very officious and
offensive in his electioneering for the al
derman whose protege he is, and has
gone so far as to wager on the result,
and Dragged of having bluffed citizens
because they declined to bet with him on

democratic candidate for alderman. 1t
was purely personal letter from Mr..
MCGEE to friend as he sup
posed, in which he asked him
to exert him self particularly to
bring about MIR. Lloyd's election, but that
friend, instead of prizing it with becom-
ing confidence, gave it publicity. Had MI.
MCGEE wished to make the same breach
Of confidence by publishing SulliYans

promised to work for and support Mr..
Lloyd, but entered into abuse of his po-
litical opponent and his friends. and for
whom, strange to say, we now find Sulli-
van exerting himself.
