SILVER IN BROOKE AND HANCOCK

SlLN ER IN BROOkE AND HANCOCh.
a Register reporter yesterday had an
interview with Mr.. Henry Zilleken, Demo-
cratic candidate for sheriff of Brooke
county, at the Brunswick.
When asked what Brooke county would
do. he said: "The silver sentiment is
much stronger in Brooke county than in
Ohio county and will poll more than the
party vote for Bryan and Sewall. As to
the candidates for Governor. Atkinson will
not get his party vote while Arnett and
Dovener viii poll the entire strength Of
their parties. From all indications
Brooke county Will go Democratic"
what will Hancock county do?"
Hancock county will go Democratic. as
the fusion of the Democrats. Populists
and Prohibitionists will make this almost
a certainty

American dollars on the American side,
and fifty cent dollars on the Mexican
side. His argument was that wages are
twice as high, for the same work, on
one side of an imaginary line, as on the
other side. He didn't explain why the
section hands on the Mexican side did
not throw up their jobs, and step over
the boundary line. The only inference
is that the Mexican section hands are
fools.
He blamed the present industrial de-
preston, not upon the decentralization
Of silver. but upon the uncertainty as
to future financial legislation, the fear
of Democratic success, Of course. He
said law could not change values.
Legislation could no more change the
value of silver than it could increase the
size of eggs, or the stature of men.
Then the able Senator cracked that
worm-eaten chestnut about the jobs
hunting the men before the repeal OF
the Mckinley bill, while now the men
are hunting The jobs His word picture
of the prosperity Of the farmers four
years ago. was accepted by his hearers,
as none of them were farmers. While
he was in the business OF misrepresenta-
ton, the Senator accused the Chicago
convention of Anarchic principles.
He then launched into a discussion
of the tariff, which he said was the real
issue in the campaign. He said the
Democratic party had been successful
through appeals to passion and preju-
dice. He said the west, with the ex-
ception of five silver States, will return
electors for the Republican ticket.
Speaking of Nebraska, he boosted of the
fact that he had defeated Bryan for
Senator. He was careful, however, to
avoid saying anything about Arkansas.
He closed with the usual predictions of
Republican success, and succeeded in
stirring up considerable enthusiasm by.
| his eloquence.
When Senator Thurston concluded
Capt. Dovener was called for, and he
responded with a call for three cheers,
which were given, closing the meeting.
