Ingersol1 ON poker and spiritism.

Il used to like to play poker. but the one
bad feature about it is winning. / can not
bear to win money from a man who
know cannot affard to lose"
This rather unusual remark was made
by Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll today in a
room at the Grand hotel here, as the Elk
press representative called on him. A
fresh deck of cards which lay on the table
called forth the assertion.
well remember the jolly times used
to have in Washington many years ago,
he continued, with the great specialist,
General Schenck, Fernando Woods and
the eminent bon wants of those days
We used to have some great games-and,
yet" and the coloners mouth pursed UP
in that familiar way when he is about to
express a sentimental thought, Il cannot
bear to win money from man when ]
know it may take the bread out of the
mouths of his children or deprive his wife
of new dress.
Speaking of poker games. remember
one time | was sitting at a table where
there was pretty big game in progress.

today are the surviving political bosses
Of 1850, or their political heirs They are
thoroughly inlbued with the reckless
spirit of destruction which animated
the Davises and Toombses of the epoch
of the pro-siavery rebellion. They are
not now openly threatening to dissolve
the union with the sword or boasting
that every southerner can whip five
yankees, but they are not the less ma
lignant. They prefer the secret methods
of the moonshiner to the bold proceed
ures Of the ruffianly desperate. Unable
to disrupt the union by force of arms,
they are the more venomously intent
upon working the disgrace and ruin of
the country by committing it to a ras-
cally policy of public and private repud-
iation.' And this paper pretends to be
the only Democratic paper in Chicago.

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.

(Written for the Pittsburg Post-)
The plain people have spoken
In convention assembled,
While from the dome to the pit
The coliseum trembled,
AS like pillows. of ocean,
The verdict outrolled:
THE coin of the land
Shall be silver and gold.''
The plain people have spoken.
From the broad boundless west
The young giant Bryant
Their will has expressed.
And the south, through Blackburn,
Her verdict has told:
1.-THE coin of the land
Shall be silver and gold"
And out from the east,
To the south and the west,
Comes the answering shout
OF labor oppressed:
Our mills Idle stand,
To Mammon were sold;
The coin of our land
Must be silver and goldr'
Then let Democrats rally
From hillside and plain,
And lead the plain people
To vict'ry again,
Assured, when their votes
In November are polled,
The coin of the land
Will be silver and gold.

BoRAH,s POSITION.

W. E. Borah Esq. has published an
open letter in the Statesman defining
his attitude toward Senator Dubois.
He says he is not particularly opposed
to the Senator on account of his action
on the DINGHY bill; he says he is in full
accord with him in any legitimate fight
for silver, but that he does not agree
with his proposition to bolt the Natl.
Onal convention. Mr.. Borah believes
that when a delegate subjects himself
to the jurisdiction of convention, he
ought to abide by the conclusions of
the majority. He makes an excellent
point by saying that it is a useless ex.
Penditure of time and energy to 60 5000
miles to leave the Republican party
when the opportunities of doing the
same thing are so abundant and access
able at home. Mr.. Dorah's position is
correct. 1t is the only position anyone
laying any claim to Republicanism can
decently occupy. It is perfectly as.
sured that no man strongly in favor of
free coinage will be nominated at st.
Louis. 1t is equally assured that no
free coinage plank will be put in the
National platform. Then what sense
is there in any man going to that con
Vention with the assured purpose of
boiling unless those things be done
which he knows very we'll before hand
will not be done. Nothing but death
or general paralysis can prevent the
nomination of McKinly: Nothing but
divine Intervention can make the Re-
publican party adopt the free and indie
pendent coinage of silver, and unless
Senator Dubois can at once preciptate
the calamity and invoke the gods, he
ought not defle himself by mixing
with the st. Louis gathering. How
can he face "my people" after such a

MUST CONTROL OR oulr.

According to the Boise Mail Senator
Dubois has declared in private letter
TO Hon. Frank Fem that he will bolt
the national convention unless silver
man, on silver platform, be nominal
ed. He is also represented as saying
that he believes he has sufficient per.
sonal following, which together with
the following he can gather from the
other parties, to enable him to defeat
the Republican party IN Idaho. Sena-
Tor Dubois denies having made such
statements, although the Mail asserts
that with respect to boiling II gives his
exact language and with respect to de-
feating the Republican party it gives
the substance Of his language We can
not clearly see why Senator Dubois
should deny his intention of boiling
the convention il goldbug or strad-
dlebug should be nominated on q gold
or StTaddle platform. In the senate he
has already taken position squarely
against the Republican party, and in a
large measure that position has been
endorsed by his people. He has re.
peatedly asserted that he will not sup
port a gold standard candidate or a
gold standard platform, and, in short,
has put himself in a position where
there is no consistent recourse but
bolting After all the senator has said,
If the st. Louis convention should fail
to recognize silver, he will cut most
ridiculous figure should he attempt to
support the Republican party. More
than that, he will subject himself to a
Just charge of insincerity and must
necessarily lower himself alike in the
estimation OF radical silver men and
loyal Republicans. Senator Dubois, in
order to preserve hts reputation and in.
tegTity must either control the national
convention or walk out OF it. He must
make the Republican party declare for
the free and independent coinage of
silver or leave 1t. There are some
things which incline us to believe that
the senator viii write the national plat
form and name the presidential candi-
date, If he should so dispose. OF
course, 1t win require an effort, but the
senator is capable of effort, and rather
than desert the grand old party In its
hour OF travail, we believe Senator Du-
bois Is loyal enough to make an exer
