TORONTO, Ont; Aug. 24.-The banks
in Toronto are daily becoming more

fuses to take United States bills or sill

The Toronto branch of that bank
still receives small amounts from Gus

demning the issue Of bonds in

to such means, and the surest way
to prevent it in the future is to

Believed Silver Republicans Will Yet Be

p WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Advices re-
ceived by Senator Butler from Idaho,
where the Democrats and Populists
have fused and ignored the Silver Re-
publicans, show the situation to be
somewhat more encouraging for the
Populists, but still it is far from salts
factory: It is. evident that the work
done by the Populist committee is hav-
ing it's effect and the opinion is ex-
pressed that the conference committee
which arranged the fusion may be
again called together to see if some
measures cannot be devised whereby
the Silver Republicans may be recog-
nized. Senator Butler believes that
this should be done, not alone because
Of the influence which it would have in
the other Western states, but as mat
ter Of equity and justice. =

ton of his conception of party loyalty
in acquiescing in the will Of the ma

Campaign for the Gold Standard
in Georgia against ex-Speaker Crisp,
had given a personal pledge that he
would, if defeated, support the nomi-

placed his resignation at his disposal !.
There has been . good deal Of gossip
about Mr.. Smith successor during Che

John M. Reynolds. the assistant. secre-

as much more probable that Q new man
will be selected, probably from the

MORRIS AND TOWNE.
Some Doubt if the Joint De.

the Campaign.

Soon after Judge Morris was
nominated for congress by the Re-
publicans, Congressman Towne is
sued a challenge to him for a large
number Of joint debates during the
campaign. Morris promptly an
nohnced that he would be pleased to
have joint debates with Mr.. Towne
on the issues of the campaign, but
declared he would not devote SIX
weeks time to them. Each Of the
aspirants for congressional hOnors
later appointed committee to re-
present his side in the arrangements,
Morris selecting O. u. Kinney, T. M.
Hugo and Col. Graves. ..r.r,. .,...
The two committees met several
times last week, hut could not agree
ON the terms for the meetings. The
Morris committee insisted on Il, dis
.cussion Of all the issues, and the
Towne people wanted to discuss
only the money issue. No arrange
Inents have yet been completed. 1t
will he pretty embarrassing for
"Towne to attempt to defend the po-
sition Of the Democrats and Popu-
listic parties, yet as he represents
them in this campaign he cannot
escape all the issues that those
parties bring into the campaign.
TOwne's demand that the discussion
be confined to the money question IL
about as reasonable as It would be
for Morris to insist that the only
question under discussion should be
the tariff.
II joint debates are arranged, we
trust that Morris will insist on at.
lacking the wrong position that
Democracy and Pnpulism occupy
