The Monitor Press and Oxford
Register are attempting to make cap.
ltal for the county attorney out of
the tax question in connection with
John 7. Stewards taxes, claiming
great credit for Mr.. Woods in con-
nection Herewith. The facts are,
that if any man is entitled to credit
by reason Of the payment Of the
Sl,750 by Mr.. Stewart, and because
he made return Of his holdings in ex-
cess of what he has heretofore made,
Judge Ray is entitled to the credit.
The evidence which Mr.. Wood sub
mitted to the county commissioners
which induced them to cite Mr..
Stewart was evidence that Judge
Ray had taken at his own expense of
$500, it being the dispositions of Mr..
Stewards mother and brother.in-law
who reside in Cincinnati. Mr.Woods
had been in office for about fourteen
months and had done nothing to-
ward collecting the taxes in question
until Judge Ray took the deposition
referred to. But for those deposi-
tons the probabilities are that moth.
ing would have been done. Mr..
Woods should not be allowed to reap
the benefits Of other persons labor
and money, but credit should be
given to whom credit is due.

Many Republicans say that the
balance Of the Republican platform
(omitting the money plank is good.
OF course it is. But there is no
issue on any Of it. Since the In
come tax law has been declared un-
constitutional all admit that more
tariff must be laid to raise sufficient
revenue to run the government. So
that even on the tariff there is no
issue. Everyone can largely en-
dorse the Republican platform all
except the gold standard plank.
That, never.

men on the credential committee
presented resolution providing for
the coinage of the American pro-

down by the same majority that de-

unrestricted. The sentiment of the

was for the straight-out gold stan

Senator Thomas H. Carter, of Montana
ex-chairman of the Republican national
committee, spent a few hours at the
Ryan yesterday, on his way home He
was accompanied by Mrs. Carter and
the children. A reporter for the G b G
met him pacing up and down the plat
fern at the Union depot with his two
little sons, dressed in sailor costumes
and happy as could be.
The senator was asked what news
he had touching the political situation
in the East and at Chicago.
81 haven't an item of news concealed
anywhere about my person." said the
senator, with a laugh.
How about the political circus at
Chicago"
"Of that I have nothing to say. I
am not a Democrat and have nothing to
do with that convention in any way.
Therefore do not care to say anything
about it's probable outcome"
Would free silver candidate carry
Montana?"
Yes, SIR The people of Montana are
in favor of the free coinage of silver,
by very large majority Some time
in August our state convention will be
held, and at that time the Republicans
of Montana will decide as to the way
in which they will give expression to
their sentiments"
Beyond this Senator Carter would not
go, and he repeated the statement, so
thatit could not be misunderstood. The
senator will remain in Montana until
after the Republican state convention
has been held.

MAY TAKE HILL.
silver Men Look Upon Him More
FaVOrabIy

SIiVer Men Look Upon Him More
Favorably.
CHICAGO, July 4.-The Eastern gold
standard men got to work early thia
morning, but the while were decidedlv
communicative. Senator Hills AZ
titude of last night and this nnorninp
on talking upon the issue is the basis
of much speculation this morning II
has been supposed that both he and
Mr. whitney would be the great proph-
cts of the gold movement and would
do the talking, but so far. while Mr.
Whitney is looked upon as the leader
the statements as to cause and effect Of.
the silver move upon the party have
been made by ex-Gov. Flower and
John r. Fellows. Whether Senator
Hills quietude betokens a desire to
take the temporary craftsmanship OF
the convention untrammeled by any
incendfary or absolutely partial state
ment, or whether it is more the
quietude that betokens active work
for the next few days is an unsolved
problem. Silver men pooh pooh this
morning the threats Of Flower and
Fellows that a silver ticket would be
defeated and that Democrats would
not vote for 1t. Senator Blackburn was
very caustic in his remarks about it.
He said:
Inc Walls OF the very room In
which the statements of silver defeat
were made last night, re-echeed four
years ago with a similar tocsin as to
the candidacy Of President Cleveland.
If I mistake not, the very same voices
were raised in an even louder cry than
last night, that so sure as the conven-
ton nominated Mr.. Cleveland Just SO
surely would he be defeated If their
predictions Of last night are as lacking
in fruitfulness as those of four years
ago, why / don't believe. the silver peo-
pie will quail very much before the
denunciations.
There seems to be more of a DISPOSE
ton to accept Hill as temporary chair
man among the silver men this morn
ing. The more conservative among
them argue that, If he is selected by
the national committee, 1t would be
unwise for the silver people to attempt
any fight over his taking the chair, for
many Of the silver adherents are for
him, and a split of the silver forces
on the first question before the con-
vention would be a bad precedent. 9th.
ers Of the silver men are rabid in their
desire that silver man shall preside
and assert that. if the national commit
tee selects Mr.. Hill, they will move a
substitute. Senator Hill himself de-
clined to discuss the matter. He said.
1T would not be polite for me to
my anything prior to the action of the
national committee. I am not seeking

DAYS NER RESULTS.
Gold Men Have Not Succeeded IL
Doing Much.

CHICAGO, July 4.-The anti-silyer men have
been at work all day. The delegations now in
the city have been visited by the men from
: the East and earnest arguments have been
made by those who hope to stem the silver
tide. The success has not been marked. No
converts have been made, and the silver men
have met them 1at-footed with declarations
that they intended to run the convention,
make the platform and nominate the candi-
dates. One of the New York leaders thinks
some progress has been made, and instances
among other things that they have been As
sured that the silver men will not attempt
to abrogate the thirds rule, and that the
unit rule will also be observed 1t has been
understood for some time that the silver men
did not wish to abrogate the two-thirds rule,
but there has been quite strong pressure to
lave the unit rule broken. The Eastern men
have been fighting against this with great
deal of vigor. The leaders of these big dele
cations naturally want them to vote solidly
against silver and against silver delegates.
Don NJ Dickinson. of Michigan, was asked
today what the gold men expected to accom-
plish and he replied that they intended to
fight to the fnish just If they expected to
win. The object of the work they were now
doing was to get the anti-silver men united
and determined, so that they would stand to-
gether until the convention was closed. MI.
Dickinson said that they have accomplished
all they expected to for the first day.
