WASHINGTON. d. c.. oct. H.-A story
has been going the rounds that Prelder-
CAST, the assassin Of Mayor Harrison, OF
Chicago has been writing letters 20 sen
ators. I'm which he abused President CleVe-
land. No names are mentioned, and no
senators can be found who admit having
received such letters. The story is prOba-
bly, an exaggeratlOn Of the fact that Prem
dergast has been writing letters 10 sem
atOrs on the silver question. How many
senators have received them IL not known,
but Senator Dubois has received a great
batch Of postal cards from the nan. They
began coming three weeks ago. and have
come with regularity ever since. They
were read at first, but Mr. Dubois soon
saw that they were from a crank and
paid no more attention TO them. AS fast
as received they were laid aside by the
senator's clerk. Yesterday Mr.. Dubois re-
ceived the last installment. There were
two cards, one Of immense size In Whicn
was the admonition 10 the senator 10
stand firm for silver, and concluding with
the assurance that Christ and all the
people are with us" The penmanship OF
these cards does not show that the man
IS illiterate, but the diction led Mr.. .Du-
bois to believe that they came from man
who had gone daft on the subject OF sil-
yer.
