CRISP rs FOR SILVER
HE SAYS 1T WILL BE THE SOLE IS
SUE NEXT YEAR.
The Ex-Speaker Thinks Democracy
should Nominate a Western Man
for the Presidency.

ATLANTA, Ga, April ~27.-Speaker Crisp,
who is at his home in Americas, in an
interview with a correspondent to-day de-
clared for the free coinage of silver and
gave it as his opinion that the Democrats
should nominate a Western man for the
presidency. In the course of the interview
Mr.. Crisp says among other things: There
should never have been any doubt as to
my position on any question. ! made a
speech for free coinage ten years ago be-
fore anybody but politicians had considered
it. / stand to what i then said, and / have
never varied. The disposition of the tariff
clears the way for the settlement Of the
silver question. That question: said Mr..
Crisp, emphatically, 'is now fully before
us"
Twill it be the one issue before the people
next year?'
1T WILL" said he, and in such a way
that must be settled directly, not by subter-
fuge or evasion, but openly. so that people
may understand it. 1t will not down. The
majority of the American people in both
political parties are In favor of restoration
of free coinage of silver. They are to-
day behind the free silver movement and
they will push 1t on to success and have
silver re-established to its old quantity
with gold. In the next campaign the re-
habilation of silver will be the main and
controlling issue upon which the Democ-
racy will appeal to the people. The plat
form to be adopted in 1896 should declare
for the free coinage of silver direct
and with a set OF principles respond
ing to the demands of the common people.
We should select some good man from the
West, some man with a military record,
Identified with the dominant sentiment that
now controls the party. The only fear I
have is. not the people are not in favor of
free silver, but that the free silver people
who are in majority, may divide into fac
lions. I am concluded Mr.. Crisp, Gin
favor of the free coinage of silver as I
have always been and the Democratic vot-
ers will declare for it next year. The talk
of Mr.. Cleveland for a third term, Under
any conditions has no basis. The people will
not make that break In the record. His
views on the financial questions are not
shared by the people"

Ex-senator Anthony Higgins, of Della

In concluding his speech he referred TO the
Nicaraguan question and vigorously scored
the administration for its policy. He said
that Engiand's real motive was to gain
possession of the Nicaraguan canal and
thus control the trade of the Pacific. but
no matter what the temporary ascend

controversy the control of the canal nat

at a show, she was one of a small theater
party of women, and she coupled seat No.

after the first act the two men requested
that the ladies' arise and let them out. Mrs.
Griffin politely informed them that she
would not get up for them. Both remained
standing and finally appealed to the house
policeman, who called Manager Wysor. he
stated that the seat occupied by the woman
belonged to her and she could do as she
liked. Finally the men were compelled to
sit down and the house fairly shook with APP
plause made by the audience who had be-
come acquainted with the trouble. Mrs.
Griffin has received much publicity as a
result of her frmness, but she is being APP
plauded upon all sides and her action prom
ises to revolutionize the conduct OF those
who go out between acts. Mrs. Griffin Will
be given a medal 10y other Muncie women
who are calling in person and extending
their congratulations. Some of the women
rave called on Manager Wysor and re-
uuested him to cease issuing pass checks
