MIR. FAIRCHILD's ADVICE.

Charles S. Fairchild, Secretary of the
Treasury under President Cleveland during
his first administration. who is in Spokane
Wash, on business. was seen by a reporter
and asked for his views on the financial
situation ana planks In the two platforms
He said: There is Misrepresentation on
the part OF the people of the true func tons
of money. They seem to believe that the
government can regulate the whole matter
which is not th. case"
DO you believe that by free coinage
there would be advance in pricesy'
am moi sure but this would be the re-

Inc introduction of silver would to the ex-
tent they could pay in cheaper money be
benehted. but this is very small class, in

WANTS SEWALL wITHDRAwy.
n story of a POpuIist scheme Against
Bryan's Associate

a strange story in regard to the coming
populist convention is current at Cleveland
Inc story is to the effect that while the
populists are pleased with Bryan as a head
of the ticket, they are not satisfied with
Sewall. who is called a 'protectionist, a
monopolist and national bank president"
One populist said that while he did not
care to make predictions, he was very con-
hdent that the populists would give the
marble heart" to Sewall, and would tell the
democratic national committee that Sew
ans name must be wiped off the ticket Le-
lore II would receive pOpuist votes
HIS idea was that an independent ticket
would be nominated at St. Louis, and then
a committee appointed to confer with the
democrats on the idea of fusion and the ac-
ceptance Of Bryan for the first place on the
ticket the populists having the privilege of
naming the vice President, and the whole
combination standing on the Chicago Mai
form.

SUCCESS OF THE HAvERFoRDs.
The American Cricketers Have Done
Well In England.

From the New York Sun.
The great success of the Haverford team
has been the cause of much surprise to the
cricketers of this city, who understand the
form Of the great public schools of Eng
land. In all the schools abroad cricket
practice Is compulsory, and there is just
as much attention paid to the cultivation of
the body as there is of the mind. The boys
must learn to swim, run, play cricket and
foot ball. and there is no better trained or
hard1er athlete than the British public
school boy.
Although the Americans have won only
one game, they have been defeated only
once, and then by the admittedly strongest
school team in England this year-Chelten-
ham. They had fairly even draw with
the powerful Winchester eleven, which has
defeated Elton this season. while the draws
with Rugby, Marlborough and Haileybury
were virtually wins. Much of the success
Of the Haverfordians may be traced to the
system Of training adopted by their can
tain. He does not allow his men to smoke
or drink compels them to retire early and
arise with the dawn, and, after cold
plunge, on days when the team does not
play, they have to take their running or
walking exercise like a pugilist in training.
This state OF thing would not be appre-
c!ated by the average cricketer who when
on tour. thinks only Of enjoying himself
and early hours are unknown.

SILVER MEN IN KENTUCKY.
They Capture and ReOrEanize the
Democratic State Committee.

Democratic State Committee.
The Kentucky democratic state central
committee. which was elected at the last
convention. held its first regular meeting
at Lexington, KY. yesterday for the pur-
pose of organizing the party on a free sill
yer basis. The county and district commit
tees. were thoroughly reorganized and near
ly every new man is a silverite.
In the Louisville district nearly a clean
sweep was made. In the seventh congress-
ional district there were many changes, the
committee trying to eliminate all the Breck-
inridge and Owens men from the county
committee. In Lexington nine of the thir-
teen old committeeman were removed and
new men put in their places. Breckinridges
friends worked hard to get favorable rep
resentation in the seventh district, but
they failed. In all of the districts there
were many changes.
The committee Joined the Central Labor
Union in inviting Presidential Nominee
bryan TO speak at Lexington next Labor
day.
