Hon. Ben T. Cable has reached
Chicago on his way home from his
trip abroad. and his expected in
Rock Island in day or two. The
Times Herald of yesterday printed
the following with reference to
Mr.. Cable. and his plans, politically
speaking:
Refreshed by a summers sojourn
in a quiet village in France, where
health-giving spring waters bubble.
and feeling in fine physical trim to
endure the work of campaign. Ben
T. Cable arrived in Chicago yester.
day to put himself once more in per-
sonal touch with the Illinois democ-
racy, to see that the free silver sentir

committeeman from Illinois may be

tend to allow, if he can help it, any
more conventions of the party in this
state to commit themselves to the
doctrine of free silver at the behest
of Buck Hinrichsen, chairman Of
the state central committee. The
degree of the entente cordiale exist
ing between the state chairman and
the national committeeman are well
enough known to need no repetition,
and Mr.. Cable said yesterday he did
not think the amenities of public
life required that he should express
any further opinion of Buck Hin
richsen than he had expressed long
time ago.

."You may say said Mr.. Cable,
that am more sanguine than ever
that the democratic state convention
of 1896 will, beyond a doubt, declare
for sound money ideas, and reaflirm
the national platform of 1892. The
democratic party in Illinois is a
sound money party, and will so as
