SILVER IN ~ IS
t is Red Hot Everywhere, and
Nevada Gets all the Credit.

Billy Taylor, who went East "a a
representative OF the A O, q. ". has
just returned and speaks glowinglv
OF the spread of the silver gospel all
over he country.
How do yOu find the silver Ques-
ton in the East" was asked hy an
APPEAL reporter of him yesterday.
"Wetl' was the reply. 4 was most
a~greeably surprised to find the gen
eral unanimity of sentiment which
prevails all over the East and South
on the silver question. In the past
five weeks | have been in fifteen
States aud Territories, and in all of
them | find that the people, except
those who are not bankers or bond
holders, are looking forward to a set
tl"nlent OF the financial question with
"a Il anxiety as did the eople in
1860, h slavery question. Not only
have L had personal interviews with
people in these fifteen States, but T
have had interviews with men repre-
senting thjrtv-ive States Of the
American Union, and in nearly every
instance all other questions are made
secondary to that Of silver. When
tariff is referred to it a said that in
point Of Importance TO the American
people it cuts no figure at this time.
The tariff will regulate itself after the
money question is finally settled.
In the great State Of New York it is
claimed that if the proper mau is
nominated at Chicago, and his nom
ination is ratified by the Silver Con
ventiOn at St. Louis on the 22nd. no
amount OF money or persuasion of the
gold men can keep the State out Of
the silver column. Illinois is claimed
for silver by 10000 m ajOritv under
similar circumstances, and Iowa and
Indiana are equally as sure to give
decisive majOrities for the white metal.
L heard a man in Indianapolis offer
to wager any amount from 81. 900 to
$4,000 hat if the Chicago nominal
tl"n was ratified at St. Louis. Indiana
would give $4,000 majority to the sill

silver mad, and it. would almost bc

Fourth OF July, and heard Teller de-
liver the dedicatory address at the
new auditorium ia that city. The
seating capacity Of the building is

people failed to get within hearing of

Another feature very pleasant to a
from Nevada, is that this State
'ecelves the credit for being the first
