In looking over the electors elected
by the State Democratic executive
committee we were surprised to find
the name of Col L. T. CAN'T. Col
Can't, few weeks ago, announced in
his paper that he would support Tom
Watson, the Populist candidate for
Vice-Presidency, and unless he has
changed his views, we think he should
resign from the electoral ticket as
that ticket is expected to give its en-
tire support to Bryan and Sewall.

HIS VIEWS ON SILVER
Citizen of Mexico Tells How 1t Works In
Our sister Republic.

Our sister Republic.
About the street corners politics ar.
as warm as ever. Yesterday beins
Saturday, the men were out in full ar
ray upon the curbstone discussing tn,
money question, in spite of the occa
| sional showers which descended, bu
| did not soil their silk hats as under
| the present administration no one ha:
been making money enough TO, save
| Grover and Carlisle.
The silver question was Of course
the paramount issue under discussion
as it has been for the full extent OF
the campaign, but there was one man
in the city who could probably tell
more about the workingsof free silver
than all the others combined. This
man was Mr.. John NJ. Robinson, a
full-biooded Mexican Mr.. Robinson
is not a peon, or a low class greaser
from along the Texas border, who
knows more about the use of a six
shooter, rope or cigarette than anything
else save mescal and whiSkey; but he
is high class Spaniard of the country
Of his birth. He is an educated and
refined gentlemen, uses the very best
Of language, never for a moment de-
scending to slang. or the language usu-
ally heard from the class of men whose
views are only measured by thier own
physical desires, and TO the utter elm
nation of the higher mental qualities
Mr.. Robinson speaks five modern Ian
suages, of which of course Spanish Is
his native tongue.
An Eagle representative met him,
and asked him for his views upon the
great question now before the Amer
lean people. ''silver, shall it be unde
free coinage or not?" He laughed and
said, We'll, I'll tell you, every man /
nave met, not only in your city. but
everywhere. wherever / have been, as

Mexico. that same question is immedi-
ately propounded TO me. / never hes

The idea that the government fiat will

with gold is an erroneous one as any
clear minded person can see. II free

try the Mexican people will not allow
