one Of the largest individual orders re-
ceived at republican headquarters Tor
sound money literature comes from Rep
resentative John X. Cowen of Maryland.
He has requested one hundred thousand
comics Of certain sound money arguments,
which heproposes to scatter all through
me state Ii is understood that MT. CoWen
has reconsidered his intention to resign MS
seat in congress, and although ne was
elected as an administration democrat, ne
uroposes TO iOin forces with the republi-
cans Ia the present fight, and he may con-
Cude 10 run for congress again as an IN
Ceyendent on a sound money platform. Mr..
C0wen was expected to take consplcu-
Gus place in the proceedings OF congress
during the past session, but his private
interests engrOssed so much of his time
that he was seldom seen on the hoor OF
the House. This winter he intends to take

the part of the BryaniteS to accept Lind
as their standard bearer in Minnesota,

the Norwegians and Swedes who are
so numerous in that state The cry of
help has already come from the repub-
lican leaders there, and assistance will
be at once dispatched to them.

ceyed from the state of Michigan. which
Is undergoing one Of the hercest battles
IN its history
The free siverites claim to have torn
down all the party barriers and they
