A press representative met the Vice
President and requested him to state his
views for publication on the silver issue.
He replied it was just what hundreds OF
other newspaper men had asked him, but
he had steadfastly refused to talk on that
or political topics, as he was out fer trip
for pleasure and for his health.
An elaborate dinner was served at San
Bernardino. The entire party was taken
to Riverside and driven down Magnolia
avenue. The party was presented with
oranges and lemons.
On the way to Riverside the correspon-
dent asked Chief Justice Shope of Illinois
his views on the all-absorbiDg silver topic.
II haven't any," he said. 80 far as a
definite remedy for tile present condition
of affairs is c-ncerned. l don't believe
any man exists who's big or broad enough
to tell exactly what to do. The silver men
have their emphatic views and gold men
their panacea, but the result must be a
compromise. which will have to be an eX-
pertinent. No man can tell just how it is
going TO work. | had several hours talk
with Vice-President Stevenson on this
subject and he agreed with me in these
views. He said that even so great banker
as Lyman T. Gage had told him he was
unable to give an exact remedy to produce
the best results. / have been on the bench
twenty-three years and am no fpancer OF
politician, but am in accordance with the
general Democratic leaning bimetallist.
| am against throwing silver out of circu-
latOn and in favor of letting it alone"
