Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1896-11-05

The recent campaign in Mineral
Point was one of the tamest ever
known, to all outward appearances.
No parades or "hurrahs" characterize
ed it. The usual heated wranglings
between partisans was almost wholly
wanting, about all Of that phase of
political campaign appeared in dis
putes between differing elements of
the democratic party. Yet, it is
evident from the election returns,
showing the greatest variation from
results heretofore, that the people
have done more thinking than they
commonly do. From hence forward
it seems there must be a readiust-
ment of party lines locally as well
as nationally. Many will be puzzled
to know where they are at politi-
cally.

HE WABBLED ALL AROUND.
Col Van Horn for Silver But Guarded
in His Utterances.

Kansas City, Sept. Congressman
r. T. Van Horn spoke before a large
audience at Turner hall last evening
upon the free silver question The
meeting was under the auspices of the
Bryan silver club, and While the con-
gressman did not say in his speech for
whom he intended to vote, his appear
ance last night before the Bryan club
is virtually an announcement that he
intends to support the Democratic tick
ct this fall. The hall was so crowded
that many hundreds were turned away,
unable to gain admission.
This money question" said Col. Van
Horn, "'is so simple that a child can
understand it, and it takes able finan-
ciers to confuse it." Following along
the established teachings of the lead
ers of the school of financiers to which
he belongs, he pointed out that all mon
ey was fiat money, and that silver and
gold had always stood together as mon
ey metals He said that as it was now
the price of precious metals was con-
trOlled by the usurers of the world, and
said that until England took control it
had been the rule of all ages that the
nations which produced the precious
metals controlled the price of them.
He said that Spain, after Columbus
had discovered the new world, cOntroll-
ed the price of gold and silver, and that
Portugal had controlled it for a time
but that now the United States, the
country on the earth, had nothing to
say about the value of its own pro-
ducts.
Col. Van Horn did not express him
self clearly as to his position in rela-
ton to political parties, and produced
a certain sense of dissatisfaction among
both gold and silver men who heard
him.
Finally he came down to a personal
explanation of his own position at the
present time, but was very guarded in
seeing that he did not go too far. 4
am myself in a rather peculiar posi-
tiOn as a Republican just now" he said
q was elected as the congressman from
this district upon a free silver platform
and upon every stump in the district [
pledged the people that I would support
this platform. Now, the time for the
expiration of that pledge does not ex-
pire until the 4th of next March, and
how, according to these gold men, am
to keep my pledge to the people who
elected me, and be a good Republican %
Col. Van Horn declared emphatically
for the free coinage of silver and while
he did not declare his purpose to vote
for Bryan, his appearance at the meet
ing is considered to be a virtual an
nouncement that he will support the
ticket

can be secured, the old steamer

which have been decorated with flowers
for the Floral parade will be taken also.
The old steamer looks gay The ladies
and the hremen have been busy decor
atfng it for several days. The wheels are
a solid mass of chrysanthemuns, and the
boiler of the engine has around it rows of
red roses and white chrysanthemums, and
the large hose which is coiled in front of
it is tWined with morning glories-
The old BabcOck chemical engine which
has been stored at the North Topeka sta
ton is a mass of flowers. the decorations
being similar to those of the steamer.
Four fine black horses will haul the
steamer. and two the chemical. In case
these horses can be secured again for the
Grand Pageant the two decorated engines
will appear in the parade.

GOOD NATURED FUN

The fervfd oratory of the speakers at
the High Roller mass meeting at Ham
ilton hall the other night must not be
taken too literally. Some people who
are disposed to be too riotOus must put
curb on their intentions for Carnival
night of next week.
There will be hundreds of ladies
masked and in the carnival and no IN
seemly performances or ribaldry will be
permitted
The police will be on duty and any
person who uses rude hands on any
PERSONS costume will find himself taken
into custody. AS Will Haskell, precep-
tor of the carnival, stated, the affair is
to be kept strictly respectable. Those
who wish to cut up will be encouraged
to do SO to their hearts content, but
the line will be drawn at the sacred
rights of person and property.
Make all the noise you please, and
indulge in all the gaiety you like, but
do not go SO far as to annoy others who
object to the annoyance. The Topeka
carnival is an imitation of those in
Rome, Venice, New Orleans, Memphis
and other places, and in those cities
good nature and respect for others uni
versally prevail. At Kansas City. the
best of order is observed and everybody
has good time without anybody get
ting hurt, except in one instance when
the parties were drunk
Chief of Police John W. Gardiner will
see to it that no rOwdyism is indulged
in on Karnival night. His regular and
special policemen will be on duty that
night and prevent any IawIessness. In
speaking of his action in the matter
today he said:
Every body will be allowed to have
a good time, but no Iawlessness will be
allowed. I shall instruct all my men
to arrest anyone destroying property
or breaking any of the laws. No one
shall be allowed to tear the costumes of
the people who are parading, and all
fights will be stopped and all parties
engaging therein will be arrested
intend to let everyone have the best
time he ever had in his life but nothing
must be carried To s1-t1arlnes %

LIVING FLAG.
A Grand Effort to Prevent It From
Falling Through.

An attempt will be made under the
direction of the ladies' flower commit
tee. to revive the living flag feature
of the flower parade, tomorrow after
noon.
If the children cannot be taught to
march they can at least be taught to
sit on the state house steps. The re-
viewing stand of the officers and dis
tingUished guests will be located on the
north walk of the state house grounds
facing Eighth street, and the proper
place for the flag would be behind the
stand on the steps. From the street
it would show above the stand.
Mrs. Milliken has issued the follow
ing call to the newspapers today:
'AlI of the children who were to take
part in the living flag are requested to
meet at the north steps of the state
house tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock,
when it will be decided whether or not
the flag feature will be given on the
steps Let every mother see that her
child is there and with the promise to
have her costume ready in time for the
parade. The costume will be very
simple and can be easily made in a
short time. This flag will be one of the
best features of the week if carried out
MRS. N. MILLIKEN."

not regarded as significant. By far the
