buck Hinrichsen and Ike Hill.
Somebody introduced Buck" Hinrichsen
of Illinois to Ike Hill of Ohio. Well. it
was a pair of 'em. Col. Ike took Off his
hat In a reverential manner to the big
westerner
You are my man." remarked Col. Ike.
land 1 want to say right at the jump that
you express my politics. There is no rebate
on you and you go at par, or above, with
me-"
They said we might suit each other"
remarked Mr.. Hinrichsen. modestly. as
he smiled at the greeting of Ohio's chief
apostle of free silver.
There Is no doubt that we have the
majority of the voters of the country"
said Col. Ike. "as five stands in seven, but
they get Us at election time, for they are
SO ALTERED likely &c buy us out"
Then Col. Ike and the Illinois man pro-
ceeded to exchange condolences on the
wicked doings of the gold bugs coming
within their respective experiences.
A Silver National Bank President.
Here Is an oasis in a desert" remark
ed Judge Harry Hill of st. Louis, as he
introduced Webb NJ. Rubey of Macon, Mo-,
to a crowd HE is president of a national
bank and one of the hottest free silver
men in the country There are others of
the same stripe in the delegation, too, for
the business men of the west know what's
good for them as well as the farmers"
Senator Jones Tells Story.
"There was man from Little Rock at
the so-called sound money convention at
Memphis" remarked Senator Jones of
Arkansas "who gave the impression that
Little Rock was a gold basis. He was
Judge Rose. who has large legal practice
in behalf of eastern financial corporations
doing business IN the south. When he
came back from the convention he met
Rel resentatve Terry, and expressed his
surprise that Terry should be for free sill
yer. why, Terry he said, you are a man
of too much sense to go with these fellows.
However. 1 suppose you do it because you
think you express the views of majority
of your constituents,
TERRY listened to him and then said:
Well, judge. l would not have ventured
that suggestion to you, but I've no doubt
now that you speak of 1t that you think
like majority of your constituents.
Il think that bit of repartee just about
described the position of a great many
gold standard men," added Senator Jones.
Other Rosente Views Expressed.
'T am surprised to find such a large silver
sentiment in the east" said Col. Hinrich-
sen of Illinois. You see, we don't get good
reports from this part of the country out
our way. When such men Ben Gable
and Senator Palmer come here they prob
ably seem like big men in Illinois. and they
tell you that free silver is dying out in the
west. When they come home they seem
like big men in Washington. and they tell
us that the east Is solid for the gold stand
ard / have already found out that their
reports are wrong in the latter case, as
Florida would be for free silver on a
fair vote said Mr.. ]. s. Baird of Pensa-
cola, for as far back as 1892 the state con-
vention declared for free coinage. The
trouble is that our opponents control the
primaries, and we are not permitted to
have fair deal. They are in control of
the machinery, and they run the primaries
to suit themselves and to shut out all

THE people in Georgia" he said, "are
greatly occupied with their crops. Mr..
Smiths tour is young cyclone, but the
people are very busy with their crops

he threw very significant look out of the
corner of his I'VE.
He Agrees With Casey Young.
Representative Cox of Tennessee, who is
attending the silver conference said to a
Star reporter:
I'm Tennessee the democrats are 16 to 1
for silver, 16 to 1. There is no room for
any gold standard sentiment in the state.
We are for silver man for President. We
don't care who he is. but he must be sill
yer man. The south is going to stand by
silver. The talk about this sentiment dy
ing out is the rankest nonsense"
Silver In The National Convention.
Mr.. Livingston of Georgia has no doubt
about the silver men contr olling the demo-
Crat1C naCOndl COHVentlOH. he says tndI
every southern state, Kentucky included,
will send silver delegates to the convention.
The administration, he says, Is using pat
ronage, and the federal officials are doing
all in their power to get control Of pri-
maries and to thwart the expression of the
overwhelming public sentiment in favor of
the free coinage CT silver, but he does not
think they can succeed. Even Kentucky

give us over $50 delegates in the conven-

territories. and with number of the other
states doubtful and liable to be wholly or
partly for silver
