COMFORTING LETTERS.
It is Not All Silver That Critters in the
 West

A Hartford man who has dealings with prominent business concern in a Missouri town has received a letter from a member of the company, part of which reads as follows: 1t would surprise you to know the number of good, honest, people left in Missouri and the election returns in November will show it. To-day there is being held in St. Louis a sound money dem- ocratic convention, with delegates from nearly every county in the state this county sent six. We have a Mckinley and Hobart club here. organized two weeks ago, that now numbers over 1,100 and we expect to carry it up to 1,500 or 2000. We expect to carry Wis souri for Mckinley and the state tick
 ct. Of course 'cranks' are plenty, too, but we think there are enough honest democrats to vote with the republicans to carry the state. Of the - com pany we have nine directors. Six of them are out-and-out uncompromis- ipg republicans, two are gold demo- cratS and the ninth is a silver man. Of the male employees one Is a repub- lican and is straight goods one a gold democrat who will vote for Mckinley and another a democrat but 'on the fence If you knew the situa- tion here I know you would feel much happier than you appear to feel The wind will have spent itself by Mo- vember and Mckinley for honest mon- ey, honest government and the uphold ing of the integrity of the United States will be triumphantly elected"
 Another man has received letter from a real estate agent in New Mexico town, where it was supposed that of course, free silver ruled every thing. The letter says that the money discussion has tlattened out business The opinion is growing, 1t adds, that the free silver agitation is responsible for this and the already large number of sound money men is daily increas- ing. The writer says that for some time he has been ''gold buzz but all ways on the quiet. Now he finds that he has lots of companions.
