oUrsPoKBN FOR FREE SILVER.

w. II. Griffith, late chairan of the re-
publican state central committee of Col
orado, is now the manager of two daily
newspapers published at Leadville, Col.
The following interview was had with
him regarding the political situation In
Colorado:
How do you think Colorado will act
this fall?"
For silver No candidate for presi-
dent on a gold standard platform can
carry the state. The party that declares
for free silver coinage, be it the republic
can, democratic or silver party, will car
ry the state by large majority"
do you think Senators Teller and
Wolcott will be delegates to the republi-
can national convention?"
80 far as Senator Teller is concerned,
1 can say positively that he will not be a.
delegate. This, however, is his own
choice, because If he wished to be he
would have the united support of the
party. l make this statement about his
not being a delegate from a personal IN
terview with Senator Teller. AS to Sem
ator Wolcott, l can state nothing from
personal knowledge, but l am informed
by reliable authority that he desires to
be delegate, providing his duties on the
Pacific railroads committee will permit
of his absence from Washington for that
length of time"
do you think Senator Teller will sup
port the nominee of the republican party
for PRESIDENT"
Absolutely no, If that candidate Is
running on a gold standard platform"
"Will not a successor to Senator Teller
be chosen by the legislature elected this
fall?'
yes, sir"
GAS the candidate of what party will
he seek reelection If he does not support
the republican ticket?"
'If he desires reelection he will be the
candidate of the people of the state, and
there will be no question of his election.
The people of Colorado respect and honor
him both for his nobleness of character
and steadfastness to the interests of the
state, and there is no honor within their
power they would not gladly bestow upon
him."

WILL 1T BE A BOLTp

If the Chicago convention should de-
clare for free silver it looks as If there
will be something of bolt. The Atlanta
Constitution has collected some express
sions of opinion from prominent metro
politan gold standard organs that ought
to convince true democrats all over the
country that the professions of party
loyalty made by the organs and agents
of the money power are as hypocritical
as their professed anxiety for the welfare
of the people.
"What If the free silver men do get con-
troll at Chicago?" exclaims the New York
Herald. Let the true democrats leave
the convention, nominate. solid gold
man on a solid gold platform and take
the field for an aggressive campaign"
1T is highly probable that the party
will split" says the World. zone thing is
certain" says the Washington corre-
spondent of the Evening Post, Should
the convention declare for free silver
there will be a wholesale administration
bolt"
We do not believe that there will be a
bolt of any consequence. The boilers
would accomplish nothing and the silver
convention would draw to itself larger
following than ii would lose.

FIRED ON THE GUARDS.
Rich Vein of Gold Struck at the Hef1n Mine
Unknown Parties Try to Kill the
Miners.

A special from Admission of the 18th to
the Atlanta Constitution says:
"Arbacoochee, Cleburne county, was
the scene of a fierce midnight fight Fri
day night. The night force of the Helm
Gold Mining company was opening new
pit when the. miners and guards were
fired upon by several unknown men who
had gathered near by.
"The guards returned the fire, and then
ensued a pitched battle, in which several
hundred shots were exchanged from RI
fies, shotguns and pistols. The attacking
party finally fed. Several of the guards
and miners were wounded, but none IA
tally. 1t is believed that two or three of
the other side were badly injured. The
cause of the attack is not known"
The following special from Chattanoo-
ga, dated April IS, says:
''At the Helm gold mine, at Arbacoo-
Chez Ala, a rich vein of gold was struck,
and the precious metal was in plain view
Special watchmen We're engaged to watch
the property, and while patrolling near a
pit near section 7, after midnight were
fired upon by unknown parties. They re-
turned the fire with Winchesters, and the
men fled in the darkness. Tracks show
that there were several men in the party
1t is thought that they intended to scare
away the watchmen in order to
secure enough material to salt some mine
in some other locality. The Hefiin mine
is turning out rich quartz, about $4,000
worth of gold being taken out on Satur-
day, last"

LEADING THEM INTO A TRAP.

In view of the efforts at fusion or CO.
operation between the populites and re-
publicans in Alabama, it Is interesting
to refer to the time when Mr.. Kolb was
masquerading as a Jeffersonian demo-
crat. During his campaign for governor
he went to Washington and sought the
aid of republican leaders with view of
getting financial aid from the protection
clubs of the north. Senator Hoar wrote
in his behalf the following letter:
my Dear Mr.. Clarke: Since your tel
egram the other day I have spent two
evenings with Captain Kolb. The first
was spent in company with several men,
bers of the senate and house of represent
tatives. The second was at my own room
in company with General Draper, Mr..
Walker, General Coggswell and Mr.. Nc
Call of the Massachusetts, delegation. We
all believe that this movement Is of the
utmost Importance; that 1t is the most
promising fact that has taken place In
the history of the south for many years,
and that IL he succeeds in his movement,
as we are confident he will, the solid
south Is broken and that the success of
the cause of protection is assured.
while he differs from us upon the
question of the coinage of silver and
upon the less important, though impor-
tant, question of an income tax, he is
thoroughly sound upon the question of
all questions, an honest ballot, and is
thoroughly sound upon the question of
protection. In some way have no doubt
that the forces he leads will be found
acting with us in all great essentials in
the future.
HE is worthy of our support and our
sympathy. Mr.. Eden Draper who has
gone home, will tell you the particulars
Captain Kolb himself will visit you soon
Mr. Lodge was at Detroit when Captain
Kolb was here, but l shall explain the
matter to him on his return and feel
quite sure of his cordial sympathy I
am faithfully yours. fe
GEORGE F. HOAR."
Senator Hoar felt confident that Gin
some way" the forces led by Mr.. Kolb
would be found acting with the republic
cans in the future. He must now regard
himself in the light of prophet when
he finds Mr.. Kolb in close alliance in Ala
bama with the republican party. He
knew it was bound to come, and that no.
man could occupy Kolb's position with
out being led, sensibly or insensibly, into
the republican party, by affliatfon. SYM
4pathy, cooperation, fusion or what not,
and by general hostility to the democrat

permit Mr.. Kolb to hand them over to

1t remains to be seen. We do not believe

ECHOES FROM WASHINGTON.

A special from the national capital.
speaking of the impressions in that city
relative to the prospects of victory at
Chicago for free coinage, says in sub
stance:
at is now conceded on all sides that
the free coinage men will control the Chi
cago convention, and the gold contrac-
tionists of the east are becoming frantic
over the situation.
EVERY day the evidences of silver con-
troll of the national convention increase.
The matter is widely discussed here, and
the fact that the worst fears of the gold
people will be realized finds constant in
dorsement.
Judge Montgomery of Kentucky, one
? of Mr.. Cleveland's appointees on the In
dian commission and a consistent gold
man, says there is no longer any doubt
that the free coinage men will control,
make the platform and name the candi-
date.
"Ex-Congressman Springer Of illinois,
another gold man, says: We had as well
concede Illinois. The silver democrats
are in the saddle, and they will send their
own delegation from Illinois. I think sill
yer men will have the national conven-
ton. / regret 1t, but must admit it,
Both Indiana senators say their state
will send a silver delegation to the con-
vention.

hote that the Johnston men are doing, in
good faith, what the Evening News, a
day or two before the primaries so wise
ly advised the Clarke men to do in the
following words: Let all democrats
keep in good humor, and especially let
Clarke advocates be conservative In their
rejoicing. Say or do nothing which will

so loyalty been helping Captain Johnston
to give their enthusiastic support to

RIGOTRY.

The people of Chaumont, n. Y, have

of that affair:

1t being now definitely settled, says the
New York Sun, that there shall be a
worlds fair in Paris in the year 1900, the
first thought of the government is to put
the city into presentable shape for the
occasion. Before preparing the grounds
or beginning the buildings for the exhibit
ton sum of 100000 francs is to be
spent in identifying the parks and open
spaces and in creating new breathing
places in various parts of the city The
Bo.s de Boulogne and the Bots de Vim
cennes will be put in order; additional
rows of trees will be planted in the Ave-
nue. DIES Champs Elysees from the Arc de
Trlomphe to the Rond Point, so as to
make the avenue lcolk like continuation
of the Bots de Boulogne brought to the
Place de la Concorde and the entrance to
the exhibition grounds; the Trocadero
gardens and fountains will be restored
to the condition in which they were be-
fore the last exhibition; all over Paris, in
Belleville, Montmarte, the Fauborg Saint
Antoine, the Gobelins, green spots will
be created in the public squares and in
new squares to be made. Paris is to be
made attractive to the visitor wherever
he may go and is to remain attractive
for the Parisians when the visitors have
gone.
