Washington. april 23.-Capt John
Sheridan. the West Virginia member
OF the Democratic National Democrat
ic Committee. and Col. John A. Robin
s1r.ot PatterSou's creek,were i'm Wash
ingt0u yesterday. and called at the
PustOiiice Department 10 pay their re-
spects TO Postmaster General Wilson.
This. at least they said, was the object
OF their call.bu- &c is just possible they
may have incidentally put i'm a word
or TWO for some West Virginia Demo
Gratis who are willing 10 take places in
the postal service.
When Capt. Sheridan was asked
about the reports that an effort is be-
ing made to- assemble convention Of
West Virginia Democrats I'm order 10
come out strong for silver, he said ne
had no knowledge of such move
melt. and wanted t9 know who the
people were who We're engaged i'm It,.
Hesaid hec0uld see no Eood reason for
taking such @ step at this time, with
the next national convention and cleo
ton q year i'm the future lie would
oppose the holding of such q c0nven-
ton. While he wanted TO- see
SILVER FULLY RESTORED
to- it's old place as money metal he
did not believe this country could af-
ford % undertake such q restoration
by itself The rehabilitation Of silver
must DE brought about by an interna-
ti0nal agreement
Col. Robinson took the same view of
that an attemp, To- hold q convention
10 commit the West Virginia Dem0c-
racy TO free coinage at this time would
be grave mistake.
Capt. Sam lathesOn. of West Vir-
ginia, who is now superintendent of
the mill at Philadelphia I'm which the
paper for internal stamps is made for
the government. is I'm the city I'm con-
sulJali0n with Commissioner Miller.
SOME PRACTICAL JOKER
has circulated the report i'm West Vir-
glnia, and iJ has found It's way into ths
papers, that Grin n. Smith. private sec
rotary To- Commissioner Miller. has be-
come engaged 10 q Western yOuug l7dN
now visiting in Washington. she
young lady is described as the pos
SCISSOR of Queeuly figure, glorious
blue eyes. o brilliant blonde complex
ion, and luXWiant hair that CLEANS
with the soft yellow radiance of mother
gold. Besides she is said TO possess
fabulous wealth. IL can be said on the
authority of Mr. Smith. himself. that
there are some errors Ia the newspaper
paragraphs regarding the yOuug lady.
I'm the first place, she is not now visit
ing i'm Washington I'm fact. she has
never been I'm Washington Secondly.
her eyes are not blue. luminous soul
searching black Besides, her hair. in
stead of cleaning with the soft yellow
light of molten gold, is a beautious
black-in short, "to shame would bring
the plumage of the ravens wing"
From this it follows that
TIE YOUNG LADY
is not a blonde nc all. but very pro-
nOunced and stunning brunette. Her
figure, moreover. is not Queenly, but
polite and sylph-like Instead of be-
Ing taDul0usly wealthy. she is poor. or.
az least i'm very moderate circum-
stances. Lastly Mr.. Smith saws he is
not eugaged to her and has no good
grounds for believing he ever viii be.
because he has never met the yOunc
lady and doesn't even know that there
Is such person I'm existence.
Barring these few errors. ne says tha
paragraphs I'm the West Virginia pa
pers are all right.
