ENCOURAGING NEWS TO REPUBLICANS
Wisconsin to Give Mckinley 1o0,-
900 Plurality,
WORK IN WASHIN GTON

| Information comes to republican head
| quarters that the home papers of Senator
| Faulkner, chairman Of the democratic con-
| gressional committee, have been resur-
| recting from the Congressional Record
| some of his speeches on silver made In
the United States Senate. An extract
from one Of these, brought to the attea-
| ton of the republican committee is as
| follows:
| I'VE cannot legslate for the present
from the standing Of the past The mon
| etary systems of the world have changed,
| the demand for the white metal Is les
sening annually. Should we adopt free
and unlimited coinage at ratio that would
! draw the surplus silver to our mints, there
are no channels through which it could
pess from this country except to South
and Central America. China and Japan.
Would Trey absorb sufficient to prevent a
giut in the home market which would so
| effectualiy depreciate the price as to de-
| stroy silver as a standard Of value? With
| an increased production and a continual
| decrease in the demand would II be wise
| for the true friends Of bimet allism to seek
at this time to place silver Ia the position
| to 1873?
"Mr. President can see no solution If
this problem except in international bimct-
| allism. The stability of silver which has
been overthrown by vicious anu selfish
legislation, can Cnly be restored in this
| way"

Republican managers continue to receiv,
very hattering news Of the condition o
the campaign from the state of Washing

-, in the state is Henry l.. Wilson of Spokane

as one of the best all-around political or

statement authorized by Mr.. Wilson, h,

q | and hurrahed everybody into line. Th
boom is burst and they losing ad

very comforting to us republicans in Wash

old-time republican majority for Mckinley
Mckinley will probably not need Orego
