CALDWELL TALKS.
His Chance For Presidential Nomin.
ntiOn,


Topeka, Kan, Aug. 26.-Judge
Henry Caldwell of the United States
circuit court is here today to enter a
decree tomorrow for the sale of the
Santa Fe railroad. He was loath to
talk of anything which concerns him
personally.
81 suppose you know that you have
been mentioned in connection with the
presidential nomination." asked the
reporter.
Yes he answered, with some show
of diffidence. Il have heard talk of it.
It is a matter about which I do not
care to talk. 1t is question of indi-
vidual preference with the millions of
voters. So far as l am concerned the
ton is out of the question. l do not
that no one else does
Would you accept it if you were
nominated?"
Il would prefer not to talk about the
matter, and L have had nothing to do
with whatever talk has been going the
rounds" replied Judge Caldwell, but
in a manner which indicated that he
would not be averse to becoming a
candidate for his party.
THE people in the west understand
that you are for free silver. That is
where you stand, is il not?" questioned
the reporter.
The face of the judge frightened up
with enthusiasm, as he answered.:
Yes. sir; that is correct. 1 am for
free silver without reserve or any
To
ment. 1t is plain to me that there can
be no international agreement favor
able to silver. because England will
not agree to accept free silver. What
is the use of paying any attention to
the foreign countries, anyway? Are
we not capable of managing our own
affairs? l think we are and if not I
am in favor of annexing the United
States to Canada or some other con-
venient country
Judge Caldwell takes a great deal of
pride in the dispatch with which the
affairs of the Santa Fe road have been
adjusted since it has been in charge of
his court.
"All of the parties" said he, "are
anxious to get the property out of
court and it is believed the decree will
be carried into effect and the purchas-
ers at the sale come into possession of
the property within sixty days. AS
for the Frisco and the Atlantic & Pa
cific, it will require some time longer.
The present receivers of the Santa Fe
will be continued as receivers and will
be in charge of the other two lines
until the affairs are adjusted and the
roads taken out of the hands of the
court"
DO you think the Frisco and the At
lantic & Pacific will be continued I'M
der the Santa Fe management" was
asked
mo one can tell until the roads are
taken out of the hands of the receiv-
ers. but 1 am of the opinion that the
bondholders are in favor of continuing
the management as one great system.
No one can realize the amount of work
that has been done to bring the Atchi-
son affairs up to where they are now.
The system has been very fortunate in
having the very best attorneys and
they are largely instrumental in the
speedy adjustment of the affairs of the
company. The trustees, the Union
Trust company of New York, has also
been a great help and the speedy ar
of the business is a matter
of congra tulation. 1t is my policy to
receivers hands as soon as possible"
