SO exasperated the free silver men that
they issued notices that If this was done
they would ignore the selection end

last Republican judge, and who |
is a lifelong Republican, has
just returned from an extensive
tour through Old Mexico, which
he made for the purpose of
studying the practical workings
of the free coinage of silver. He
asserts with great positiveness
that the men in this country

ruin of Old Mexico from the
single silver standard do not
know what they are talking
about. He says that he saw
every evidence Of prosperity in
Mexico. and that while real es-

bonds, We're depreciating, in
Mexico property is going up.

THE question of excursion
tickets to Purcell today was
badly managed, quite a number
having to pay full fare, where
they had expected to get the
benefit of the excursion rate
and some not being willing to
pay full fare and ride with
others paying less than one
third, were compelled to remain
at home after all other arrang-
ments for the trip had been
made. Threats of suing We're
iudulged in freely and some
profanity relieved the strain.
Plainly some one has blundered,
