TACOMA, Aug. Ex-Governor McGraw's
appointment of Frank r. Gilbert as
state Librarian and the serious charges
made against him by the retiring libra
rian, p. ID. Moore, are the ruling sensa
tion on this side of the mountains. Gil
bert il from Waila Waila. He was one
OF Aliens henchmen during the last
senatorial fight, and his conduct was
pretty severely censured by many.
In brief MIR. Moore charges Governor
McGraw with gross violation OF re.
peated pledges, and with requiring him
10 appoint as his assistant a woman in
competent and unworthy of the place.
In statement to the press he charges
the governor with saying:
81 am under obligations to Mrs Smart
and have had to furnish her moLey re-
peatedly, aud really ! cannot AFFORD TO
continue doing SO, and, therefore, some
thing must be done for her by your Civ
ing your son vacation"
Moore declares that this woman
boosted Of her influence over MIR Nc
Graw. The governor, she sa id, will
do whatever want him to"
II confess that was surprised when
was officialiy notified of Colonel Gil
berrs appointment as my successor, g
says MIR Moore, ''for I did not think the
governor would brave public opinion,
disregard personal honor and disgrace
his ONCE and the party which elected
him 10 order TO accomplish private and
personal ends
The Seattle Telegraph declares that
Mir. Moore's standing before the public
canno, be questioned, and that his word
will be taken anywhere. and loudly
calls ON Governor McGfaw 10 answer
these serions charges.

FOR A CORNER ON SILVER.
story Of = Gigsstic Deal Costem D Isssd
by the Erearh.


by the Erearh.
DENVER, Aug. ia special from As.
pen, Colo, says: Ex-senator Smith.
chairman Of the finance committee OF
the French senate, has just left Aspen
for Park City, Utah. The object of his
trip here will be to look into the silver
producing regions of the United States
in behalf Of his government. 1t has
leaked out since his departure that the
Bank Of France would, If desired, es-
tablish a branch At Denver to be con.
trolled by directors composed Of Colo
RADIO capitalists, with a manager from
Paris to represent the parent institu-
ton. II is said they would agree TO
furnish $50,OO0.O0O to 500, 900 600, or
whatever was required to carry all the
silver produced In Colorado for several
years without allowing any TO be sold
until the price is fully satisfactory.
There are hut 20 large smelters in the
country and If ma jority of these com
bine corner in the silver production of
the country could be had from the time
France got the silver production of the
United States under control, and she
would dictate the price of the metal to
England for use in India and compel all
the silver-using nations to come to her
for money. The scheme, 1t is said. finds
much favor among silver producers, and
no doubt will take place here If congress
should not give the silver men something
better than the Sherman law.

FARMERS FOR SILVER
THE GREAT eMcAmpmenr FAVOR IT
Aenesai Weaver Makes an Address To =
Large Audience on the Present
Yinaneiai Situation

MT GKErsA, Penn, Ang. 23.-The
largest crowds since the opening of the
national encampment Of the Farmers'
Alliance assembled today. 10 the main
auditorium william Benninger advo.
Gated free coinage Of silver In Pennsyl-
vania Dutch language. He was fol.
lowed BY J. N. Thompson, late lecturer
Of the Pennsylvania Farmers' Alliance.
When General Weaver Of Iowa arose
to deliver his address this aft .rnou
there were probably %, 900 people ON the
grounds. He said the situation Of to-
day was not cansed by the election Of
democratic administration. That ad.
ministration is still enforcing repucii-
can laws and interpreting the laws the
same As did Harrison. Such 4 course
could not be brought upon the country
BY mere change of administration;
nor Is it the result of the Sherman law.
The laws have been violated. The re-
publican secretary of the treasury did
not comply with the Law. They paid
OFT the gold and the secretary of the
treasury aided foreign conspirators
when he had 1t In his hands TO prevent
this panic. This Is the real cause OF
these hard times. At the close of the
war the people were comparatively
free from debt. There was more pros
perity then among the farmers Of the
north, 10 spite of the loss Of those near
and dear to them, than there has ever
been since. The reason Of this pros
perity and good feeling was because
there was An immense volume of paper
currency In circulation. The financial
system which has contracted currency
is responsible for the loas of thousands
of homes, innumerabIe suicides and the
corruption Of the morals of the people.
AS result OF that crime, perpetr7ted
on our people from lsGS to 1873, British
capitsl has come 10 and got control of
factories, railroads and finance. The
scarcity Of money is what Is the mat
ter. When the farmers come into
power, they will give more money.
Farmers will make dollar that will
stay Al home. They do not want money
that will 60 abroad. and that Is what is
the matter with gold.
