INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Aug 3o-What
little gossip has been going the rounds
today regarding the vice presidential
nominations indicates that those now
here regard Gen. Buckner of Kentucky
as strong vote getter, and in case Wat
terson should not be chosen for the head
OF the ticket it is understood that an
effort will be made to have Buckner
made the running mate of the northern
nominee, no matter whether he should
be from the east or west All talk
at the present time regarding candidates
is largely speculative on account Of the
few men here, and these desire not to
be placed in the attitude of debating
or making a slate before the arrival
of the delegates.
DELEGATES ARE SCARCE.
LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Aug. 3o-A
mass convention Of gold standard Dem
ocrats will meet here tomorrow for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
national convention at indianapolis.
Indications are that the meeting will
not be very largely attended but will
be composed of representative business
men from the best towns in the state.
A few counties have held mass conven-
tions and will be represented by regu-
larly accredited delegates, while other
towns and counties will be represented
by volunteers. Col. G.. b. Moore, a
prominent attorney of this city. and
Capt. Showers, a banker of Morrillton,
are the leaders in the movement and
will probably go to Indianapolis as DEL
egates from the state at large. Col
Moore is a lifelong Democrat. and will
support the state ticket, but opposes the
Chicago platform and will favor third
ticket 1t is probable that Arkansas will
be represented at indianapolis by full
delegation.
The convention tomorrow will also
very probably take steps looking to the
establishment of state organization
of the new Democratic party.

A STRONG STATEMENT.
Letter to the Railway Men of the
Country.

The last issue OF the Railway Age
contains the following strong argu.
ment as to why they should stand
for sound money:
You have before you an opportunity
such as has rarely been given TO any
class of men in history-the opportuni-
ty to be the controlling influence in
saving your country.
There is no state in the Union in
which, If you vote as a unit. you can
not turn the scale in any ordinary
election. In the present crisis it rests
with you to oppose a solid front-a
bulwark Of reason and of patriotism
to the flood Of free silver madness
which is rising in the western and
southern states.
What interest have you in helping
those who, blinded and led astray as
they are. propose to raid the treasury
and bankrupt the nation only to make
our mine-owners wealthy?
Certain classes may not care what
wreck may come to the country's COM
merce II only they can get cheap dol
lars for their crops. The miner may
be willing to see the United States
sink TO the rank Of a third-class power.
bankrupt and dishonored, II only the
output of his mines be doubled in
value to him.
But what is this to you? Your inter-
ests are bound up with the perma-
nence of our commercial prosperity.
For your honest work you want-and
have rlght-to get your pay in hon
est dollars. What will you profit by
a depression in wages and an increase
in all that your wages have TO buy?
Do you want to get your pay in dol
lars worth fifty cents a piece?
Therefore, organize! This is no c es-
tion of Republican or Democrat, but of
your own protection as wage-earners
Organize for the preservation of sound
defense of your own wages
lin support of the countrys prosper
ity and the country's honor!
At every shop and every division
point on every railway in the country,
there must be Railway Mems Sound
Money Club. If you, who read this,
are personally willing to take hold of
the work of organization in your To-
cality, and the work of educating your
fellows for their and your own bene-
nit, write to The Railway Age, Chicago.
Until the central organization of the
Railway Mems Sound Money Clubs
is perfected, we will send you all the
and literature you require,
free.
Let railway men Of every class act
together. 1t is as noble a cause as
ever man put his hand to. Organize
now and work, and when November
comes and free silver is defeated, the
people win know that the railway men
did their part nobly for the country's
salvation.

THE MINT AND
BULLION VALUE
Why Should People Declare for Lat
ter When They Have No Bul-
lion to Coin.
SECRETARY MORTON SPEAKS
Compares the Early Money Of Nebraska With
That Of the rresent--It Is the De-
maHd for Things Which
Gives Then Value.

Nebraska City. Neb., August 1.-The
Hon. j. Sterling Morton. secretary Of
Agriculture. delivered an address to-
night in the presence OF a large audi
enee. He drew comparisons between
the money Of the country when he
came to Nebraska In the pioneer days
and now. He said that then It was
somethoing substantial. such as cattle,
horses and hogs. and not until the
present was there an effort to create
value from something which had no
value except as a commodity. After
explaining the origin OF money, Nor
ton said
''The sole origin, source. and cause
Of value is human desires; when there
is demand for things they have a
value; when the supply remains sta
tionary the demand increases and
value increases; when demand ceases
altogether value is altogether gone.
This shows clearly that the cur
rency OF the people must be readily
exchangeable for those things which |
the people desire and demand. Cur
rency itself must be desirable and
must be demanded by those who have
things TO sell The farmer who sells
cattle. swine and cereals for money
finds that his customer demands the
highest possible quality in each Of
these things. The buyer OF farmers
products is the seller Of money. The
seller OF those same products is a
buyer OF money. The purchaser de-
mands the highest known qualities in
the things that he buys from the far

Of gold and silver today is about 80

buy one ounce of gold bullion. The
reason for declaring in favor of the
mint value for silver. which is twice
its bullion value, is inexplicable upon
the part Of those who have no silver
bullion to coin.

STAFFORD EXPLAINS.

Clatsop, July 2s, 1896
Editor Astorian:-
You say you do not see how myself
and others can think the financial
plank secondary issue in the coming
election. I'll state why consider it
so. When the Democrats met to nom
mate their leaders, inevitable defeat
for next November was very apparent
If they staid on old lines. Their only
chance was to keep the tariff question
out of sight. or make it an insignif-
cant issue. Then il they can bring for
ward the financial question, make il
appear to be an overshadowing issue,
they hope by so doing to cause the Re
publicans that favor silver to join with
them and so beat themselves by beat
ing Mckinley. The Democrats will not
divide to any extent. but if Republi-
cans are made to think the financial
issue is above all things, this state
will be lost,
They will not be converted to the
gold idea, but diverted from the true
Republican idea, which is protection
to American labor of every descrip-
ton.
By allowing themselves to be side
tracked on any other issue they win
lose the substance for the shadow.
If the American industries are pro-
tected, silver will be as free as it is
possible to be. so will gold. without
labor, how could we procure fifty
cent dollar? believe in free silver.
and the proper method of making it
free, which is well paid labor pro
