ILLINOIS CONVENTION.
Monometallsts Are Doing Consider
able Worrying just Now.
The Silver Movement In Illinois Is Re-
garded as Master Stroke by
Practical Politicians.

What is now called the Illinois move
ment continues to worry and interest
the politicians. The republicans seem
to be as much interested as the demo-
Gratis, as many astute and far-seeing
western republicans are inclined to be-
lieve that if the Illinois democracy de-
clared fatty for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at Is to many western
republicans will abandon their party,
unless the republican party declares
likewise. One man OF national promi-
nence declared in my hearing today that
eight-tenths of the democratic party
favored the old ratio and eight-tenths of
the republican party favored the single
gold standard.
| do not think that this is correct es-
innate OF the attitude of either the dem
ocratic or republican party on the coin
age question. There is no doubt in my
mind that there are more democrats than
republicans in favor of free coinage: but
to assert that the republican party is
practically for the single gold standard
is a palpable mistake. The western re-
publicans, like the western democrats,
are friendly to silver and the eastern
democrats, like the eastern republicans
prefer the single gold standard. The
southern republicans, too, are like their
western brethren, friendly to silver.
The new senator from North Carolina,
Pritchard, is free coinage man, and SO
is Congressman Tom Settle of the same
state, who is hereditary republican.
Public men generally are inclined to be-
leve that the silver question will have
to be met squarely during the ensuing
two years, as its extreme advocates will
not tolerate further postponment and
they are numerous enough to force fight.
ing. The new silver movement is en-.
gineered by very different men from the
leaders of the populist party. The BIZ
metallic league has plenty OF money ii
its treasury while the treasurer of the
populist party is perpetually broke
There are evidences, too, that the silver
campaign is being conducted by masters
in the arts OF organization and agitation
The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1895-04-24

There has been no movement in this
country OF recent years that has been
given such an impetus as the demand
for the free coinage of silver during the
past six months.
The calling of the Illinois state con-
vention is regarded by old politicians as
the master stroke of the extreme free
silver men. Illinois is happily located
for field OF operations. 1t is regarded
as one of the industrial states, to the ex-
tent that its industries are diversified
and embrace commerce, manufacture
and agriculture. The state is easy of
access to the stump speakers and agita-
tors, and its action is expected to have
immense influence on the surrounding
commonwealth.
1t is believed here that the silver men
had made arrangements for thorough
campaign before the state committee is
sued call for the convention.
One mem mber OF the cabinet was blunt
ly informed by western friend that
ii the administration became iden-
titled with the fight against silver in
Illinois, many men who did not believe
in the 16 to | coinage OF silver would
join with the extreme advocates OF that
movement in order to get whack at
the administration. | am told that
President Cleveland still believes that
his administration is popular with the
people at large, but the members OF the
cabinet, especially those from the south
and west, fear that at the present the
administration is not loved by the mass
es OF the people. But, leaving out OF the
question the popularity or unpopularity
OF the administration, it is argued that
the cabinet officers, being democrats,
have right to participate in the discus
sion OF great public question, the de-
cision OF which may have far-reaching
influence on the future OF the party.
Secretary Carlisle and Secretary Nor
ton have frequently been invited by the
democrats OF Illinois to address them on
the issues OF the day. Secretary Gresham
was appointed to the cabinet from Hi
nois, and has never yet had an oppor-
tunity to address an audience as dem
ocratic statesman. Illinois democrats
here are now telling Judge Gresham
that his opportunity of becoming ac
quainted with his fellow-democrats O
Illinois has arrived, and that it is righ
and duty to participate in making the
party policy in his state. There ar,
many people here who believe that Judg,
Gresham has not always been in entir
The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1895-04-24

accord with the financial policy OF the
administration, but there is no doubt
that Gresham, like other members OF
the cabinet, believes that the adoption
OF the free coinage OF silver, at a ratio OF
Is to l, as party policy, would be dis
astrous.
There is not much doubt that demo-
Gratis holding Office under the admins
tration will participate in the Illinois
contest, but it is not yet settled whether
the members of the cabinet will 60 on
the stump. 1t is my own opinion that
when the compagn becomes warm
Gresham, Carlisle and Morton will be
found on the stump with Wike, Eckles
and Jones. The influence of the con-
test on the political fortunes OF William
r. Morrison attracts the most personal
attention here. 1t seems to have been
accepted as a certainty for some time
past that Colonel Morrison would be
presented by the Illinois democracy for
president in the next national conven-
ton. 1t is pretty well understood here
Colonel Morrison is not in favor OF the
policy of the extreme silver men. While
he is known as a friend of silver and an
advocate OF an enlarged use OF silver in
our currency, he is opposed to free COIN
age at a ratio OF l6 to /, for the reason
that he is convinced that this govern
ment alone could not maintain the par
ity OF the metals, and that deprecated
currency would be the result. The
severest censure OF President Cleveland
by western and southern democrats has
proceeded from the fact that he accept
ed the nomination on the Chicago plat
form, which was construed by them to
he declaration in favor OF free coinage.
Those who know Colonel Morrison are
well aware that he would not accept the
presidential nomination on a platform
that he did not approve and intend to
give force to in the event OF his election.

Santa Fe Train Hold Up.

Monday night about II O'Clock a
west bound Santa Fe passenger train
was held up by four masked bandits,
near Sylvia, in Reno county. An at
tempt was made to rob the express car,
but failed. Two of the robbers
marched the engineer and fireman be-
fore them through the coaches and
sleepers and "took up collection" in
gunny sacks, taking money, watches,
jewellery etc.. while the other two stood
guard outside. Not a shot was fired.
It is pretty generally believed that
the two suspects which Sheriff Spencer
had under arrest here few days were
two of the robbers, as the description
given by the passengers TALES well
with these men. After being released
from Jail here they went to Ellinwood,
got their horses and started east; but
were seen next day down in the edge
of Comanche township, each with a
winchester in addition to their other
arms.
Great Bend doubtless entertained
train robbers unawares.

A Dastardly Deed.

On Friday night HOisington came
very nearly being visited by the des-
tructive fire fend, and this time the
work of an incendiary. About 10
O'Clock a fire was seen in the
kitchen Of the residence occupied py
John L. Wilson, the property Of A. M.
McCauley. AS Mr.. Wilson's family is
east on a visit and be was at work in
the railroad yards there was no one in
the house that evening. The fire was
first seen by John Lewis who gave the
alarm and with others soon subdued
the flames, the damage to the property
being but slight. 1t was apparent that
the fire was set by someone and an in
vestigation was made which revealed
that the door had been broken open,
floor some waste thoroughly saturated
with kerosene was set on fire, kerosene
being literally distributed over the
floor. A little more insight was given
Mr.. Wilson received at the postofice
peculiar letter. The envelope was
manufactured for the occasion and the
address on the same as well as the
wording inside was made by clipping
letters from newspaper and gluing
them to the paper so as to form words
expressing the meaning intended. The
wording of the letter was as follows:
~. L. Wilson-You s. of a /"
leave Hoisington in 48 hours Or you
will leave in box
This letter had been dropped in the
outside mail box on Wednesday night
and was not given to Mr.. Wilson until
Saturday morning on account of incom-
plete directions. The plan used by the
sender of the letter to conceal his iden-
tity is likely to prove strong evidence
for his conviction. It is hard to believe
that Hoisington contains a person ca
pable of doing such deed but it so
appears. Considerable evidence has
been procured in the case and the sup
posed guilty party is Swallowed and the
probabilities are that he will be given
an opportunity to thoroughly repent.

Their Salaries,

The salaries of our state senators
and representatives is So day
or $3.50 for the session, and mileage at
the rate of 10 cents mile each way
for one trip to and from the legislature.
Members of the legislature can only
receive. pay for fifty days for a regular
session and thirty days for special ses-
sion. Each member of the legislature
is usually allowed $40 during the ses-
sion for postage. The officers, sergeants-
alarms, clerks, janitors and other en-
ployes of the legislature each receive S3
a day for the time actually employed,
whether the session extends beyond
fifty days or not, with the following
exceptions: The president of the SEN
ate aud the speaker of the house each
receive So day in addition to mileage;
the secretary of the senate and chief
clerk OF the house each receive $5 day
but no mileage: the sergeant-at-arms
of the senate aud the sergeant-at arms
Of the house each receive SIS day but
no mileage except when out on duty
serving papers by the direction of their
presiding officers; messengers and
pages receive So day.
If the session lasts over fifty days
the clerks and janitors would draw
more money than the senators or rep
resentatives; and these appOintive posi-
tions are generally filed by men who
IL
calling. Yet, strange to say. there are
many, alas, too many, senator's and
representatives now in our legislature
who have made sworn statements that
they spent much more than the $50
they will draw as salary, to get elected
to the Offices. How are those men
going to come out even?
