There is a large and growing de-
mand among the people for campaign
literature on the free coinage side OF the
question. Fer the past two years the
wall ST bureau has been sending out
from their side OF the currency Ques-
tion tons upon tons OF documents
weekly. but the silver men have not been
organized and have h&d no money TO
spend in this preliminary business Of the
campaign. Chairman Faulkner cannot
send out too much currency literature
nor circulate it too widely. What tho
people demand in this campaign is light.
We have had all the golden light there
is to be had. Now We want little Of
the white light'on the side Of the white
metal. Trot it out, Chairman Faulk-

Our Republican friends have been
calling the Democratic ticket a "Popu-
lis.-Democradc ticket" What then are
we to call the combination down in Al
ALBANIA. where a lively election will be
held Monday? Il is a contest between
Populist-Republican fusion and a
s.raightout Democratic ticket. The Pc
culiar beauty OF the contest is that both
candidates for the govegnorship are free
coinage men and the contest has been
conducted entirely on The money ques-
tion. There would, in fact, be no con-
test at all. but for the desire of a few
Republican politicians down there TO get
Office and they aim to do it through a
dicker with the Populists. We might
call the Alabama ticket on that side q
sort Of Popcpublicsn affair.

quently expressed his admiration Tor
Spanish soldiers and praised Generals
