SILVER GAINING GROUND.
James 4. Murray Says There Has Been a
Big Change in Sentiment Recently.

"Thc goldbugs of the east are on
the run and were the presidential
election to be held tomorrow the sill
yer men would carry everything in
sight," enthusiastically said James
A. Murray, the Butte banker, to a
reporter today.
Mr.. Murray had just returned from
an extended visit to the east and
while he makes no prctcnsions Of
having made a special study Of the
financial situation in the east he
speaks from the standpoint OF man
who has kept his eyes and cars wide
open during his trip through the
goldbug's domains.
''ln my mind there is no doubt at
all but that silver man will be nomi-
mated by the democrats at Chicago.
| couldn't believe that there could be
such a change Df sentiment on the
silver question within the short space
Of 80 days if l had not been made
aware OF it in more ways than one.
What ! am afraid Of, however, is that
a reaction will set in before Novcm-
Der. The goldbuys will spend mil
lions OF dollars to corrupt voters and
they may influence some, although
| am inclined to believe chat Il great
many eastern voters will do as they

casiou not.co very long ayo-talc the

"You would be surprised at the
amount of ignorance displayed by
eastern moneycd men on the silver
question. The editors, who are
mostly goldbugs in both parties, do
their thinking for them and it is i'm
possible to argue with them. One
banker with whom ! talked thought
that Montana adjoincd California,
and another one referred me to an
editorial in financial paper but

OF good. There can't be too much OF
that literature sent out between now

tanning editorials in reference to the

4 Few Got In.

Washington, June l.-Exccpt
Savannah, the capitals Of the new
states, Wyoming, Montana and Utah,
are the only places that got appro-
priations for public buildings this
session Of congress. The house poll
cv has been to report no bills for new
buildings. After cXhausting their
efforts in that body, the western men
secured in the senate amendments to
the sundry civil bill. These items
were the hardest fought between the
two houses and threatened to pro-
long the session some days Senator
Dubois, who engineered the campaign
in the senate, was importuned to
drop the amendments, but the west
crn senators and representative re-
fused to capitulatc on any conditions,
Finally the house accepted the
amendments on a motion by Wilson
