TnE ovation given Gov. Altgeld at
the Auditorium in Chicago Saturday
night was largely Of personal ma.
ture. The delivery OF his address,
which had been carefully prepared.
occupied about two and o half hours.
The gist OF his argument was that
the present standard OF value did not
provide n sufficient volume OF cur
rency. which resulted in a deprecia-
tion Of prices. The speech will be
printed in pamphlet form and dis
tributed throughout the state.

Free silver and wages.

New York World.
Under our existing system the gold
standard Is maintained for all our
dollars.
The workingman who receives a
silver dollar in payment OF wages is
able to buy as much with it Is il it
were n gold dollar.
But II free coinage were decreed
the gold standard would be at once
abandoned. The silver dollar, worth
so cents. would become the standard.
The dollar that now buys 100 cents
worth OF any commodity would buy
only SO cents worth.
DO workingmcn want their wages
reduced in purchasing power in this
way?
Again. the farmer wants ..more
money" But free silver coinage
would reduce the total monetary cir.
culatiou by about one-half. and in
stead OF getting more money than the
$2.OOO.OO0.000 now in circulation we
would have only about 81. OO0, zoo, 900
all told.
Does the farmer demand n contra
diction Of this sort, with . wheat
price to match? All our money buys
100 cents worth to the dollar be-
cause the gold standard is main
tanned. All our dollars circulate
freely because each OF them is ex-
changeable for . gold dollar.
With free silver coinage We should
lose from circulation every dollar
that is worth 100 cents. and one-hslf
~ oil our circulation would disap-
pear.
Are the workingmen and the farm
ers ready to invite this reduction in
wages and this financial calamity?

Whatcom, May 1f.-SpecIal-Republica
here who are familiar with the circum-
stances Of the selection OF Everett a. the
meeting place Of the state convention are
not . little surprised that that city should
place . candidate In the field for the ma
tional convention and secure for him the
Endorsement OF Snohomish county. Had
the convention gone to some other city.
and Snohoznish county had then put for
ward . candidate for the national conven-
have been any candidate from here. Mr..
Endorsed but urged by the Republicans Of
this county, Is the county member OF the
state central committee. and his vote
was most Instrumental. II not actually
decisive. in giving Everett the convention
II was understood by the committee then
fhat Everett would not ask for q national
delegate. and with that understanding.
though Il was not an express condition OF
his vote. Mr.. Fairchild became atcandidate.
This Is clearly the view held by ex-Mayor
Walling. the Everett member OF the COM
mittee. as expressed in his letter In the
Post-1ntellgencer q short time ago. In
the light Of these facts the action Of the
Snohomish convention in indorsing the
candidacy Of Mr.. Butler IL regarded by
Republicans here a. little short Of breach
Of good faith. The Republicans Of this
county do not desire and could not be In
duced TO oppose any Just claim Of their
friends In Snohomish county. but under
the circumstances they feel that the can
didacy of Mr.. Fairchild IL fully justified
and they will heartily support II.

count Of the manner in which they pro-
pose to conduct the primary elections in
Chicago. and cr!ticising Gov. Altgei1 for
his recent attacks upon Presiden; Cleve-
land. he said: There is nothing to be gain
ed by abusing every one, and the charge
OF corrupt methods employed Is. to say the
least. in very bad taste. / do not know
whether those who are engineering the
silver movement in Illinois consider that
the course they are pursuing 10 . winning

VII be disappointed in the result on cleo
ton day. 1t means 1T the outset the COM
pleto abandonment of important states
like New York, New Jersey, Connecticut.
II involves the loss of Maryland. Delaware
ard Kentucky. It could not save Indiana.
To mako this loss good enough thor
oughfy silver states would have to
be won to give . majority In the electoral
college. Colorado. Montana. Utah, Nevada
and Idaho would possibly go Democratic.
but when those are named tho whole gain

would not equal New York Mr. Boies
could not carry Iowa, Kansas or Nebraska,
