" Ssngton. June 2o.-[speciall-
FTa1..entative Coffeen, of Wyoming,
tNwaS asked by The Herald correspon-
dent to give his views as to the polit-
ical outlook in his state, said:
Il am very glad of an opportunity to
say something, through The Herald, as
to the present and future prospects,
politically, in Wyoming. You will re-
member that the state was carried in
1892 against the Republicans by
strong majority, and Mr.. Warren, the
political leader of their party, was de-
feated in his great ambition to return
to the United States Senate. The Dem
ocratic appointee of our governor, how
ever. failed to secure a seat and Wy
oming is represented at present by only
one senator, Mr.. Carey, and his term
also expires next March. We have,
therefore, two United States Senators
{ to select in Wyoming by the state
legislature to be chosen this fall, and
besides we have an entire state ticket,
congressman and county officials to
elect.
THE Importance of the coming cleo
tion in our state is very great-not
only 10 our state, but to the nation
tyr as goes Wyoming this year SO may
s D THE United States Senate; and if
the Democracy Shall go out of power
in THE Senate the currents of legdSla-
ton may be turned back again into
Those nlonopolistic grooves in which
they have been running in money and
tariff and trust nlonopolies for the last
tihinty years-arld by wllidh legislation
a plutocracy has grown into power, be-
fore which every interest of the coun-
try is threatened"
The Prospects Bright.
'eM1hat is the prospect for Demo-
cratic success at the coming election?"
Mr.. Coffeen was asked.
BETTER than ever before, and if the
congressional campaign committee
shall give the party in Wyoming the
support that the situation demands,
and federal appointments be made to
accord with ldlle Judgment Of the best
citizens of our state, then see NO dam
ger of defeat. If all the forces that
were united against the Republicans in
1892 shall remain united, as they
should be by every consideration for
1894 they will sweep the state by great
er majoritieS than ever before and
complete the redemption of the state
from the political combine that, be-
coming too strong and corrupt, carried
their bossism and land schemes and in
yasions against settlers to such an eX-
krame that the people, almost without
.%regard to political affiliations, rose up,
and at least in part overthrow the
combine IN 1892
THE people of Wyoming do not intend
that the old combine shall ever again
get into power"
Free Coinage an Issue.
''Will the question of free coinage be
Gnvolved?"
Enthusiastically The public record
of Senator Carey, now in the Senate,
and ex-senator Warren, who is also
ambitious to try again to reach the
Senate, are so at variance with the
people Of Wyoming on the silver ques-
ton that it is doubtful if even their
own party Will vote to uphold such rec
ords.
1.-THE people insist on the coinage of
silver without limit and at the stand
3rd ratio of Is to l, while the leaders
Of the Republican party are trying to
sidetrack their party on limited coin
age, subordinating silver to the gold
standard and the agreements that the
creditor nations of Europe may make
regarding silver-and they are not even
clear and certain as to the ratio.
$50, while the old leaders are in
charge there is no hope for the silver
cause in Wyoming through Republican
channels.
'sThe Democrats are clear, straight
and sound on silver coinage and have
upheld it from first to last and will do
so in the future
Reeds Political Trick.
.wiu not the conversion of ex-Speak-
er Tom Reed lead the Republican par
ty to change front on the silver cues
tion?"
NO. Tom Reeds conversion is DO
Htieal trick, and is so understood by
all eastern gold bugs. READ his inter

unlimited coinage Of silver. He is set

agreement programme for silver. which
has been the trick by which his party
has sought to prevent the reInonetiza-

Republican Aid to Gold Bugs.
ssThe Republican party, which is re-
sponsible for all the ruinous financial
Aegisiation by which money has been
T5ntracted. destroyed and demonetized
in the interest Of the gold syndicates of
Europe and their Tory allies in this
country, is not going to abandon its old
