An Unknown at Chicago Who WIN Make
His Debut Wednesday.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-A great deal of curl
osity has been aroused among those who
have taken an interest in tho financial
controversy in the announcement that the
National Bimetallic Union would open its
campaign through tho medium Of an un-
known youth, who will take q part similar
to that assumed by the celebrated teacher
Of COINS Financial School, Little Ut
nothing seems to b. known rs to tho iden-
tity OF this unique character, and the
greatest secrecy Is maintained at silver
headquarters as to who he is. The man.
ayers of the campaign, however, think
they have a treasure. as he is ready to meet
any advocate Of gold monometallism ana

The cards announcing the opening of
'Coin's Financial School in Life" state
that the Unknown" is ready to meet any
query. He will be assisted with a stereop-
ticon, and will give the citizens of Chi
cago an entirely new treatment of the sill

ALTGELD NOT A CANDIDATE

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Oct. 2S.-The wise
acres who concluded that Governor Alt
geld would jump at the place made
vacant by the determination Of Senator
Palmer 70 quit public life at the end of
his term in the United States senate seem
to have 'reckoned without their host. I"
Governor Altgeld says he is not a candi.
date, and also that he doesn't believe in
the doctrine Of state conventions nominal.
ing candidates for the United States sem
ate. When questioned ON the matter he
said: "A decent regard for the pro-
prieties fOrbids that any Democrat should
make an effort to be elected senator In this
state next year. As the dudes say, it
would be in bad FORM
How d that, governor
well" was the reply, aside from the
vacancy caused by the death Of Senator
Herb the Republicans have a majority of
the seventeen hold-ovcr senator's, and con.
ditions In this state arc such that il We
were TO sweep everything before US next
yeaf, as We did IN lS9e, VIC could not pos
sibly get . majority Of moro than twelve
or fourteen Of the members Of tho house,
% that even II the Lord were to be with us
next year the Republicans would still
have . majority Of Ave- or six on joint bal
lot. Under these circumstances it would
look greedy for . Democrat to want the
place, and a. Democrats are all we'll bred
gentlemen they will not be guilty Of such q
breach Of decoEum, but will preserve thcis
dignity and pursue the even tenor Of them
ways"
Governor, do you favor nominating q
senator af tie state convention next years''
