Sir: | am i'll receipt of your message
conveying greetings from the members

my hearty appreciation of their support.
The fact that those of your citizens who
believe that the cause is strong enough
to have Il financial policy of its own are
willing to array themselves against Il
fellow townsinan of high character and
great personal worth, indicates the depth
of their convictions. Whenever Il great
issue arises, the American people always
prove their independence and moral cour-
age. characteristics without which self
government is impossible. 1t gratifies
me to know that the silver sentiment in
its growth is diSregarding party lines
Yours truly, w. j. BRYAN"

did not know what he would do. but if
he did it would be an informal talk from

Wash. one of the delegates to the CON
vention of the national silver party at
st. Louis, and member of the platform

fer with Mr.. Bryan.

Washington is being rapidly organized
by late republicans, such as the present

Jones. who is chairman of the state CEN
trail committee of the silver party; eX-
Governor Miles c. Moore, II leading
banker of the state; Judge Turner of
Spokane and others of like prominence,
hitherto republican leaders. Il have no

BOSTON, May 1.-The Standard
says that the Lea company, Of New
York, the new Chinese laundry
firm, will open in this city at once
in its fight against the elk COM
panies of San Francisco, the con-
Germ supposed to control nearly all
the laundries in the country. AL
ready cut of 10 per cent in laun-
dry prices has been made and a
bigger cut Is promised. All Sin,
who is connected with a Chinese
mission here, says the fight means
decentralization of the laundry
business. The fight is opened here
because l,173 out Of the 1,433 Chi
nese in Boston are laundrymen.
The laundries which have cut
prices are now clsssed in Chinese
as what is equivalent to "scab" in
the English language.
