The people of New England
as rule, are Yankees in the true
sense of the word, and they are all
ways ready to take purely bust
ness view of every question that
presents itself. They are perfectly
willing to have free silver provided
they can have protective tariff,
and mark our prediction, they will
never permit Mr.. Mckinley to be
nominated for President on the
Republican ticket because he viii
not be acceptable to the free silver

that he should even receive com

role of the "favorite son." this
time.
mingling with the delegations,
we found that they were not all
agreed, by any means, upon the
"goldbugism" of their party, and
many were outspoken in favor of
free silver.
If the Republican bossess can
put this down in their party and
whip the silver men into line, it
will be miracle indeed, and there.
is no honesty in the expressions if
those who attended this League
meeting.
The meeting was not so large in
numbers as had been looked for,
and this to some extent threw
damper on the meeting.
Now let the Democrats come to-

can get together at the Capital

John T. Morrow, Frank j.
Walker, two ex-union soldiers, and
G. w. Messicks, all three prorni-
nent Republicans of Mason county,
were in town yesterday, and being
interviewed as to their opinion
upon the silver question, said that
they were in favor of the free coin
age of silver, and that it should be
remonetized; that they had never
voted anything heretofore but the
Republican ticket and that they
would not vote for any man now
unless he was in favor of free sill
yer, and that they thought that
John Sherman had been a great
injury to the farming interests and
of the laboring interests of this
country. They also said that it
was. a great mistake for anyone to
think that the farmers and labor
ing men of this country were not
in favor of free silver.
