the populists and other silver men is
this: That congress enact bill making
SO cents in silver equal in value to 100
cents in gold that SO cents be COM

100 cents in gold. That, if accomplish.

the sudden conversion of Jesse r. Grant

daughter of a silver baron in Colorado a
few years ago, and since that time has
been true to the interest that furnishes
him with grub and good clothes. He is

Tom Carter, Montana's brainy sem
ator, who has been, and is still strong
believer In free coinage, has announced
himselfa supporter of Mckinley. He
wisely contends tn t free silver coupled
with free trade is not thing to be de.
sired. and that in his opinion it is ad-
visable to stay with the republican
party and aid in accomplishing the end
desired, upon the more reasonable plan
outlined in the st. Louis platform.

The republican campaign in Mime
haha county, says Il late Sioux Falls dis
patch, began last night with speech
at Hartford by Judge Dillenbough of
Ohio. The famous orator, who has for
the first time left the democratic party,
is speaking for Mckinley A special
train carrying $50 men with torches and
music went out from this city. On Sat
urday the republican county convention
will be held. In the evening Hon. Ben
Butterworth will speak in this city.
From this time on most energetic
campaign will be made. To day the
populists admit that the city of Sioux
Falls is against them, and that the coun.
ty is close. The republican leaders, on
the other hand, feel confident that they
will carry both.

Letter ron Bruan'S Pdrtner

Local agitation in Lincoln, Neb.
has taken such decisive turn that
A. r. Talbot, republican candidate
for state senator and law partner of
W. J. Bryan, has been compelled to
issue letter denying the alleged in
terview printed by New York paper
to the effect that he would support
Mr.. Bryan. A meeting Of fifty prom
inent Republicans was held this after
and if he had not stated that he in
tended to work for the Republican
ticket they would have nominated an
opponent by petition. Mr.. Talbot's
letter is as follows:
ITO the Republicans of Lancaster
county, have seen an alleged inter-
view, said to have been had with me
and published in a New York paper.
1t is false in every particular. Since
the nomination Of Maj Mckinley it
has ever been and is now my inten-
tion to support him and every Repub-
lican on the national, state, county,
precinct ticket. Such has been my
privilege in the past, and | certainly
do not intend any other course in this
campaign. | have arranged to see
the voters and speak to them at pub
lie meetings during the campaign
and viii assist to the full extent OF
my ability in unfolding the Republi-
can standard in the contest, and have
50 notified the chairman of the Coun-
ty Republican committee. ] regret
the necessity for newspaper notoriety;

from me as a Republican this IN
equivocal statement-th that it is false

No 200 Gent Dollars.

Il deny emphatically that the de-
monetization of silver in the United

cause either of the hard times or of
the low prices, and deny, with equal
emphasis that the free coinage of sill

other nation would be the remedy.

great crime, has not diminished the

depressed prices. Myreason for this
assertion is simple and conclusive:
II prices had been depressed by q
sweeping change in the purchasing
power OF the money oil our country,
that change would necessarily have
operated upon all things equally. But
did it9 Do we not all know that the
prices OF some things among them

italy MAR tanned themselves for sew
eral years after the act of 1873, which
is said to have demonetized silver,
while others went down a little and
still others went down considerably
Now if the dollar had become a 200
cent dollar by the act Of 1878. it must
have been the same 200-eeht dollar
for wheat as well as hardware, and
for corn as well as hoes, and for oats
as well as beer, and for potatoes as
well as cigars 1t would not be a
200-cent dollar for one thing and at
the same time a $50 or a 125-eent
dollar for another Now, if all prices
were not equally affected, as every
body knows they were not, their de-
cline cannot have been caused by a
sudden and great change in the pur-
chasing power OF the money of the
