The Carrollton Democrat last week

The C~arrollton Democrat last week
had this very interesting item: "The
Hon. u. s. Hall stated in a conven-
ton the O;her day that he was for
sound currency, that kind favored by
Cleveland. Also Il a. he had tried for
two years to be a ''free silver" advo-
cate, but could not, knowing that the
people Of his district wanted s'fr ee
%sllver," hut in the future he will advo-
cate "gold Standard and would
canvass the district on that issue"

communicated.
To the Editor Of the Inteliigsncsr.
No political question now claiming
the attention OF the people ID of more
Importance than the question which
will be considered by the democratic
state convention, to be held ct Pertle
Springs, No.. ON August 9Th. Every
democrat In the county who il q friend
of bimetallism should attend the meet
ing of democrats In his township, which
under the call of the county democratic
executive committee will be held ON the
9th day Of July. He should . his
influence to secure the attendance at
such meeting Of every democratic bimet-
There is no doubt that Q majority, =
large majority Of the democratic Of the
state of Missouri are in favor Of bimet-
talism. Let US zee to It that our very
strength do not prove an element OF
weakness by causing many Of our num-
Der to refrain from attending these
township meetings on the ground that
their presence is unnecessary. Our gold
standard opponents are not sleeping,
but they are not making, and win not
make q fight that will arouse blmetallists
to . full show Of their strength. On the
contrary their only hope lies In pursuing
q course which will lull our majority
into inaction. Therefore there should
be a full attendance at these township
meetings.
II the democrats Of Missouri display
their strength and express their sentt-
ments at these township meetings, and
elect delegates to the various county
conventions who truly represent then,
then the state convention will give
utterance to no uncertain sound, will
settle tho question III question there bel
as to where the Missouri democracy
stand on the financial question, and win
effectually and forever silence those who
claim that the "silver craze" Ii dying
out in Missouri.
Let no speci0us plea for harmony In
alllst or prevent him from exerting his
here. When our gold standard friends
ask us to cease agitation in the interest
OF harmony in the party, he asks US to
to concede all while he comedies nothing.
We are now on a single standard, Q gold
standard basis. II we ever return to q
bImetallic basis that return will be
brought about by the efforts and agita-
ton OF those who are advocating the
reconciliation Of silver. HARMONY Is
q good thing but principle Is Of more
importance than harmony, as it is also
higher than party. The democratic
party deserves to succeed when. and
only when she is advocating that which
is right. Bimetallism Is right, and
bimetdllism is democracy.
BY bimetallism l mean the unlimited
coinage of both siluer and gold as the
standard redemption money Of the cOun-
try. Anything short Of this claiming
to be or claimed to be bimetallism is .
delusion. q snare or a sham, or ell Of
these combined.
The township meetings are of vital
importance, for there the people, the
masses speak directly and not through
representatives, and there the Individual
exerts his influence in shaping public
policy as he a at no other place.
Therefore / close as 1 began, by urging
the democracy Of the county to turn
out to "a man. w. Is. WILSON.

Ever since Secretary Hoae
Smith visited Yellowstone Park he
has taken the deepest interest in
the protection of game within it's
boundaries, and kis instructions to
those in charge of the park have
been to proceed with the utmost
v,gor against all poacher~.
when the attention of officials Of
the Interior Department was in
vited to the fast that game wa S
being exterminated in the park,
their reply was that until idaho
and Wyoming passed more strin-
gent laws for the preservation of
game it was well nigh useless for
the department to take any meas
ures &or relief From reports re-
ceived from the park it appears
that buffalo in particular are prone
to wander into dangerous territory
aid will not contine themselves to
a place In WHICH they would be SAT- !.
Capt. George s. Anderson, who
has been acting superintendent at
the park. in his last report to the
Lecretary of the Interior Says there
is section of country beginning at
Henry's lake and extending south
for about twenty-five miles in
habited by a lawless .and persistent
lot of head and skin hunters. The
laws of Idaho are extremely de-
6cient in gamn-protective measures.

The DAILY News Washington, D.
G. special says that every effort of
the administration will be directed
toward securing the location of the
next Democratic national conven-
tion In New York city. The an
nouncement that ex-Secretary
Whitney had decided. to take up
he fight for New York is said to
be specially signigcant. Mr..
Clevelands friends are said to feel
that the influence upon the Demo
cratic party of the convent IN held
in New York city would tend to
advance the cause of sound money
inside the party ranks Such was
the sentiment expressed by a6~
ministration men interviewed on
the subject. Democrats of the
Tammany type take the view that
the presence of the convention
would arouse enthusiasm among the
rank and file in New York city, re-
galvanize the corps of Tammany
and improve the chances for carry
ing the doubtful state of New
York. The last Democratic con
ven ion held in New York nomin-
ated Horatio Seymour. Despite
the fate of popular subscription
schemes in Gotham heretofore, a
paper will be circulated to obtain
pledges for $250,OO0 to secure the
CO wen ion for New York City.
