Secretary A. B. Humphrey, of the
National League of Republican Clubs,
is in the city in conference with the
committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the coming convention of
the league in Cleveland in June He
says he is assured that it will be the

ance of delegates and visitors. 1t has
been decided to introduce an innova-
ton at this convention in the shape
of one open session, at which free dis
cussion on all political questions will
be permitted. This, it is believed, will
furnish an opportunity for
A LIVELY FIGHT
over the silver question. Information
has been received to the effect that
a special train will be sent from Chi
cago. Republicans will also come from
Duluth. Denver will send a train
load of silver boomers. There will be
3,
one from Iowa with the celebrated
Iowa State band, another from Louis
vile, Nashville and Cincinnati; one
from Philadelphia, another from In
diana and still another from New

FIGHTING FOR LIFE.
Buchanan Wants IL New Trial on
Alleged New Evidence.

NEW YORK, April 25.-George J.
Gibbons, counsel for Buchanan, is
making strenuous efforts to obtain a
new trial for his client on the ground
of newly discovered evidence. He is
circulating petition among the MEM
bers of the medical profession of this
city setting forth that in their opin-
ion Mrs. Buchanan did not die of
morphine poisoning. Among those
who have alredy signed the paper is
DR.. George w. Grover, medical ex-
aminer of the Metropolitan Life In
surance company and medical direc-
tor of Bellinger's treatment for the
morphine disease.
Among the testimony on which Mr..
Gibbons will base his appeal for new
trial is an affidavit of Lewis Levy, a
cigar dealer of this city, whose wife
was under DR.. Buchanans profess
sional care. In his affidavit Levy
states that on the occasion of a visit
he made to DR.. Buchanan's office,
Mrs. Buchanan entered the room
while he was waiting for the doctor.
She went to a closet, and, taking a
pill from a small box that was on
shelf, swallowed it.
That's morphine" she said in
answer to Levy's look of inquiry.
When ne asked her if she was not
afraid to take so deadly a drug, Levy
says that Mrs. Buchanan replied:
"Weil I've been taking it for fifteen
years and I'm not dead yet"
Another important point on which
lawyer Gibbons hopes to secure a
new trial is the fact that he was in
his possession signed statements
from Professors Briezer, Wallace,
Robert and Otto, who are among the
most prominent of European
Psychologists, in which those scien-
fists claim that the methods employ
ed by the prosecutions experts to
ASCERTAIN the presence of morphine
in the dead womans5 body were
faulty and not those that are now
recognized by the leading scientific
authorities to be the only conclusive
tests.

WHAT is HONEST MONEY.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Dear Sir: In the article entitled
Domination Dollar-ItS Fruit"
in your issue of April q, you say
'silver was not a debased currency
in 1873, except the subsidiary coin
age, simply because then and for
forty years before we had no silver
currency Of our own coinage. This
was due to the attempt of congress
to fix a false ratio, which under
valued silver and sent it to better
market than our minis
Please tell me where silver found
the better market" you speak of. I
want to know what countries carried
the load Of silver money and put the
price so high that we could get
none of it, and also what effect this
load had upon their finances and
general welfare.
Coin" believes that gold and sill
yer coined at a ratio of 16 to 1 would
be ''honest money" and sound cur
rency." VIII you not be equally
explicit, and tell what in your opinion
is the right definition of those terms.
Yours truly.
w. D. TOMPKINS.
Devils Lake, N. D., April %.
In 1884 congress decreed that, for
coinage purposes, sixteen ounces of
silver was equivalent to one ounce
of gold. At, and prior to that time
European nations, without, we be-
lieve, an exception, We're admitting
1T to coinage in their minis at a
ratio which made 151a ounces of sill
yer the equal of an ounce of gold.
The effect on their finances was such
that their f1nanciers, mistakenly. we
think, feared that this ratio could not
be maintained. and succeeded in pre-
venting it's free access to the minis.
The test of an honest money is
It's capacity to circulate without a
legal tender enactment back of it.
The Mexican dollar in this country
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-04-25

is worth So cents, because the law of
Mexico has no extra-territoria1 eff
feet. Our gold coins circulate here
and in other countries without loss of
value, the stamp on them being mere
ly the certificate as to their Weight
and fineness. No legal tender act is
needed here for them. No money
that depends on the police force of a
country to compel its acceptance is a
sound currency or all honest money.

Just Like the Sentinel.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
When the currency question is
shelved or dead and buried, and when
the Illinois Democrats are divided upon
some other topic, the Enquirer, before
taking any position, will ascertain, by
inquiry, in what proportion they are
divided. A newspaper conducted upon
this principle has several advantages.
1t is always in line. It never kicks over
the party traces, never fiops except in
company with other distinguished
Democrats, never displays a readiness
to criticise it's own party, never doubts
for an instant that the majority must
be right.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 2.-The

Hon. James b. McCreary today, in
which he declares himself unalteraply

This utterance was brought out by
Senator Blackburn's stand in favor of
free silver. Mr.. McCreary has pre-

ton, giving a resume of his action
and votes in congress. He says: Il
favor an international agreement" con-
sistent with sound business methods,
