a little tired of it. 1t is a little
like what Beecher said of hash,
that is, that hash was good, but
there was sucha thing as too much
ola good thing. Ifprices remain
good the chances are that the sill
yer question will never again
gain the public attention that it
held a month or two months ago.
OF course. if wheat goes goes
down or the crops get short, there
will be a discomfort and that will
bring it mp once more"
what do you think the Repub-
ican party will say when it meets
in state convention regarding the
money question:
.: / think there is only one thing
for the party to do, that is to face
the: issue squarely. I believe that
will be done when we have de-
clared in favor of an international
agreement and pledged the party
to use every effort by means of
tariff determinations or what not
to bring this about
What if that should fail?''
II do. not think it will be neces-
sary to take up that contingency
at this time. It will take several
years for the party to put into
effect the policy which it agrees
to:inaugurate and there is no use
crossing stream until we come
to it.
THAT is just the point upon
which I differ with my friend,
Congressman Towne. of Duluth.
In his speeches he makes a
strong, and, to me, logical argu-
ment in favor of international BIZ
meta1lism; then, in the last part
of his talk he knocks over all he
has said, and argues that if We
do not succeed in getting an in
ternational agreement we can 60
ahead and establish bi-metallism
on our own account, and do it
without the panic that the gold
men claim will follow. I do not
see the wisdom of his position.
If we can do what he says we can,
without an international agree
ment. then, it seems to me, it is
not necessary to try to get that. -
Discussing the presidential -aspi-
rations of Senator Davis, Con
gresham Eddy said that he had
no doubt that If Mr.. Davis want
ed the support of the 9TH district
he could get it. But he also said
that the people of his district had
no idea that a presidential nom
inee- would come from Minnesota.
Upon the relative strength of the
other presidential aspirants Mr..
Eddy said that sentiment was fa1
from crystallned. In his opinion
the politicians of the 9TH district
favored McKinly, while the mass
of the people: were more strongly
with Reed. However, he admit
ted that this was only his impress
sion and that, after all, the mat
ter was in such a chaotic state
that it was only guess. Con
gresham Eddy is likely to be ;
candidate for re- election y HI
said he had held office a. goot
many years, and he felt that h
had his full share at the public
crib, so that if the Republicans O
The seventh district wanted an
other, man In congress he woult
have no: com plant. But, if i
Was considered that his efforts t.
redeem the district from tn
errors of Populism entitled hin
to a denomination, he would ente
therace. Asnoother candidate ha
been spoken of up to this time
the presumption is that Mr.: Edd,
will be in the field in 1896.
On. the governorship Mr.. Edd
said that the sentiment was sti
very unsettled. All the cand
dates seemed to have friends, a
though he said that until he cam
to Minneapolis he had no ide
that'R: g: Evans was being talk
ed of for the gOvernorship.
1T seems to me that it is
