Campbell. Textile following ex-
pressions OF opinion from some OF the

ity represents pretty fairly the general
trend of Democratic opinion here:

senator, Favors for United States sem
ator d. c. Giddings, Seth Shepard
or John Ireland; anybody to beat Ho-
race Chiffon. Is for Ross for governor
If he consents to run, II not for Ian
ham. The test suggested by Baker
MatloclS committees is not binding on
primaries. but in the interest OF har-
mony ought to be accepted. Reagan's
discordant notes ought not to have
been heard. He Is a back number.
Both Reagan and Clark ought to stand
aside and let Democracy have chance
to assert itself. Indorses Cleveland's
whole position on silver.
T. p. Lockhart, postmaster: Is for
Chiffon for the senate and Charles
Culberson for governor. Opposes free
coinage.

duct of the United States.

ment with other governments

governor. He supports Cleveland's
whole policy. Thinks harmony de
slrable but fears a new split.
A. NJ. Butler, merchant. Is not pay
ing much attention TO political wran-
giles, but is for Ross for governor.
Would like little more silver for his
own use, but the general problem is
too much for him.
j. II. Beggs, farmer, is for Rosa
for governor and Chiffon for the sem

Harmony Is an excellent thing II 1t
stands, Of which he has doubts.
r. G. Smith. ex-representative, Is for
Chiffon for the senate: favors Ross
for governor II he runs, otherwise
Charlie Culberson. He wants to lay
both Clark and Reagan on the shelf.
As to harmony, he thinks there is
none. Baker-Matlock test is merely
suggestive. Would coin the whole sill
Yer product of the United States free.
+. w. Thomas, merchant, is for
Chiffon for the senate; favors Reagan
for governor because he is honest and
knows his business. Thinks harmony
farce, No committee has a right Ia
usurp the functions of the primaries
by making tests Of Democracy. In
dorses Chilton's position In regard to
silver.
j. f. Beasley: Shepard for the SEN
ate; Ross for governor; with Cleveland
on silver. Is IN favor Of harmony but
does not believe we have q, especially
II Reagan is listened TO-.

the politicians are rogues; II he has To
be plundered anyhow he has no pref
erence as to who shall do II.

paying much attention to political con-
troversy. He favors Ross FOR COVER
nor and wants free coinage OF all sill
Yer produced By our own mines.
j. Il. Davis, merchant, Is for Chill
ton and Reagau. Favors free coinage
OF all silver produced In the United
States.
e, II. Mitchell, farmer Is undecided
as 10 United states senatoE but is for
C. A. Culberson for governor. Hi
does not feel equal to solving the silver
problem. but Is Of opinion that the
people demand the placing Of silver on
an equality with gold, and for that
reason believes that II we have free
and unlimited coinage of gold we
should have the same for silver.
