HON. W.. c. WHrTNEYS STATEMENT,
His Views on the Currency Question Stat
ed in a Letter to the Public.

His Views on the Currency Question stat
ed in a Letter to the Public. !,
In statement to the public William O..
Whitney, e1-secretary otthe Navy, declares
that the adoption of free silver plank by
the Democratic National Convention would
be disastrous to the party and impede the
promised success Of international, bimetal-
Ism.
In his letter Mr.. Whitney makes plain the
fact that he Is thoroughly convinced that :,
the differences between the factions OF the
Democratic party on the question OF cur.
rency are Wide. he admits majority OF
the delegates elected to the convention at
Chicago are pledged to the independent free
coinage Of silver by the United States at
ratio OF 16 to / with gold.
Mr.. Whitney sets forth at length his reasons
for his objection to the adoption OF such
policy by this country at this time when the
possibility OF an International agreement
fayoring the increased use OF silver as
money metal seems brighter than at any
time In many years.
In regard to his possible candidacy for the
Democratic Presidential nomination, Mr.'
Whitney sets all doubts aside by declaring IN
the emphatic language once used by General
Sherman: II will not run If nominated, nor
serve II elected"

SIR-A little over q month ago ] asked
the question in the NEWS why there
might not be a friendly contest TOR tie
Presidential nomination between The
two leading candidxtes of the Repu blican
partv--Reed and Mckinley, the losing
candidate to accept second place on the
ticket.
We now have an answer from one OF these
gentlemen, Mr. Reed, saying that he
has no intention OF playing second nd
die, even II the people wish him TO, pre-
ferring the whole hog or none. or course
the people must acquiesce IN this decision,
provided that IL IL authentic, and II
sounds so much like Tom, that there
isn't much doubt about 1t, for when the
speaker says he won't" he won't, and
that'st no end of II.
Maine having refused second place gives
better oportunity for Rhode Island to
put IN her application. fhere are already
several so-called, "ooomlets" OF course
millions of voters may "sspire," but only
one can be chosen. IL the Vice may be
had by Rhode Island, she has a man WHO
has trained with Mckinley in "Tariff
work" and some intimate thet he Is able
to give the latter points any day on that
subject. He IL known 10 the whole coun-

THE TRANsvAAL sIfUA TIoN.

THE TRANSvAAL SITUATION
The proverbial British love of fair play,
which in the English people has usually
stood the test even when IL has not been
exemplified by the British government,
appears to be aroused by the disclosures
from the court at Pretoria which con-
demned a number of Outlanders to death
radically mod ifed. 1t appears that the
Boer officials were possessed of evidence
of the most satisfying kind demonstrate
ing that the revolutionary movement and
the JAMESON raid were not simply a COM
bination of local reiormers and a rush OF
irresponsible free hooters but was move
ment backed and approved by the heads
of the Chartered Company and designed
to subjugate the Boer Republic with the
probable view OF finally turning 1t over
to the home government as British pos
session.
1t does not appear at all likely that any
high official In the British government is
Implicated. On the contrary 1T is quite
evident that the British ministry has had
absolute confidence in the integrity Of
the officials OF the Charte red Company.
The Chartered Company officials fooled
the British people ana probably also to
an extent, the British ministry, although
the latter has proceeded with diplomatic
cautiousness pending the possible appear
ance of colored gentleman in the wood
pile There has, it seems, been from the
first news of the raids an undercurrent of
public sympathy with the position Of the
Beers and this has now developed into a
strong public demand that strict justice
be done, even IL the Chartered Company
itself is heheaded.
