COMMENT ON HARRISON s
LETTER.

Il -
Senator J. B. Foraker ex
pressed himself as surprised at
Harrison'e absolute withdrawal
from the presidential contest,
hut thinks it will help Me-
KinleY.
George B. Cox of Cincinnati
thinks the withdrawal will help
Mckinley.
T. G. Plat has nothing to
say and did not want to be
interviewed.
Edward Lanterbock, chair
man Of the New York county
COMMITTEES, spoke of the friend
" relations between Harrison
and Morton, and thinks the
formers withdrawal will great
ly strengthen Morton.
Governor Norton had retired
when the news reached Albany,
but his private secretary stated
that while public declaration
was not expected, they were
sure Harrison would not be a
candidate.
Senator Ellsworth thinks
Morton will profit by the with
drawal.
John c. New of indianapolis
says the letter takes General
Harrison entirely out of con
sideration as a candidate. He
does not think Harrison will
take any hand in the selection
of a candidate, does not believe
he will be candidate for sem
ator and says the general wants
to become private citizen
aga ain in truth and in fact.
j. K. Gowdy, chairman of the
Indiana republican state CEN
traI committee, thinks the let
ter means just what it says,
aud the Indiana delegation
will not be for Harrison. With
Harrison out of the race Mr..
Gowdy's personal preference is
for Mckinley.
Hon. C. w. Fairbanks, SEN
atorial candidate, considered
the withdrawal final and
thought the Indiana delega-
ton would be divided.
Elk Attorney General Miller
thinks the letter expressed
what 1T. Harrison felt.

Free coinage VIII Enable This Company

The Swiss international loan agency,
with headquarters at Mount Vernon.
has made many loans in Illinois. Mr..
Timothy Gruaz represents the agency
and has addressed the following letter
to his PATRONS:
ITO My Many Patrons in Southern
Illinois-In answer to the numerous IN,
quiries relative to the probable future
action of this international loan agency
1 beg to state that represent several
Swiss capitalists, true and steady re-.
publicans of the old school, all without
any reservation favoring the free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and Sill
yer at the American ratio of sixteen
to one as the shortest road to general
prosperity here and abroad, and fur,
ther, that should the free coinage of sill,
YER prevail, expect to accommodate
my clients much better in the futurej
than in the past. Yours for free thought,
free coinage, and above all, free men,

committee, has In his possession a COM
plete poll of that state, completed with
in the past week. 1t shows that Bryan
will carry Iowa by a majority of not less
than $4,000, and it may exceed 47,ooo.
The poll shows q republican detection
for Bryan in every county in the state.
This detection runs from so to 1000 in
every county in the state. The banner
republican counties in the state are
those most seriously affected, and they
will go for Bryan. The republican poll
comedies 10000 republicans to Bryan;
the delnocra tic poll shows $4,000 repub-
licans in the state as being for Bryan
What is more, republicans are coming
over every day in every county, while
the list of democrats who have been
inclined to vote for Palmer is growing
less, and the indications are that not
more than 1000 gold democrats will be
found in the state in November.

rh. Intelligence OF the World.

Senator Teller says "the college pro-
fessors Of Europe are all on the side Of
bimetallism; the leading European
financicrs of Europe-those who have
made finance study-are on the side
of double standard, and no silver man
need be afraid that the intelligence Of
the world is not on his side.
I'VE fought Great Britain once un-,
der the bimetallic system; we fought
q neighhoring country under 1t, and wei
fought under it the greatest civil war
ever waged."
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1896-10-23

1t will be seen that the silver forces
have carried six states, having SO cleo
toral votes, by q popular majority OF
2lS,O00, while the republicans have got
only two states with only ten electoral
votes and an aggregate majority Of
$4,000. The Democratic managers have
no cause to complain in regard 10 the
showi ing.
A Prominent Old Republican Changes.
Among the notable republicans who
are out for silver is one whose advocacy
of the white metal is of peculiar in
terest throughout the country. Gen.
William Birney, lifelong aboli-
ZIONIST and republican, and a gallant
soldier in the union army, has ad-
dressed letter to the democratic ma
tionRl committee, announcing his ad-
herence to the free-silver cause. Gen.
Bimey is the son of James G. Biz
ney, who was twice the candidate
Of the abolitionist party for president
Of the United States. In the letter
which he has addressed to Chairman
Ca1npau, of the national democratic
campaign committee, he says:
''F'rom the origin Of the republican
party up to the adoptiom of it's plat
form, last June, at St. Louis, l have
shared it's principles, rejoiced in it's sue
cesses and sorrowed in it's defeats;
but upon the financial plank of that
platform I cannot stand. The logic
of my amtecedents does not place me
side by side with Grover Cleveland and
J ohm G. Carlisle.
II believe in honest bimetallism, as
It existed before 1873, and that the
United States ought to lead off in the
return to it. Of all the nations that de-
monetized silver, we are the most popu-
lous and the most free from interna-
tional ENHANCEMENT. We have more
territory than continental Europe, and
our domestic commerce is 10 times as
much as our foreign commerce. Our
duty and interest is to legislate for our
people and territory first and for Euro
pean interest afterward if at all.
"The St. Louis platform recommends
that the United States shall wait for
European action and shall maintain
the gold standard Monometallism,
even as a temporary expedient, strikes
me as a blunder. The maintenance
of the gold standard is the maintenance
of dollar which is constantly rising
IN value. 1t means falling prices, ruin
of farmers, hard times, black Fridays,
the rule of the banking syndicates,
the repeated issue of government bonds
for loans and the continued use of the
endless chain"
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1896-10-23

We believe that In the restoration of
silver to its legitimate office a. standard
coin It's bullion value will be SO enhanced
by the demand created by Its free and
unlimited coinage that no difficulty viii
be experienced In maintaining silver at .
parity with other standard money, and 90
We denounce as false and malicious the
statements SO frequently made by our op-
ponents that free coinage means . dollar
of less value than one hundred csnts--

A Satisfactory Showing.

The results in states holding their
elections prior to the presidential cleo
tion are very satisfactory to the demo-
Gratis, and if the republicans are able to
extract any consolation from the fol-
lowing summary of the rsults they arc
entitled to whatever comfort it may af
ford. The following lisa lis, of the states
" bdch have held elections, giving the
number of electoral votes in each state,
together with the majority:

Senator Brice, of Ohio, has finally
announced his opposition to Bryan.
This was quite to be expected, and the
wonder is that he has been SO slow
about it. Cal. Brice and his fellow-plu-

party any more and that is why it is so
popular and is going to win this cleo,

The excess of all exports over imports

of intimidation of employees by railroad
corporations and large manufacturing
concerns continue to come to national
democratic headquarters. The national
democratic managers to-day received
evidence that the officials of the Wabash
Tailrr,ad were issuing orders to their
employees that they must pledge them
selves to vote for Mckinley or lose their
Jobs. A copy Of a circular letter signed
by the master mechanic OF the Wabash
railroad shops at Springfield, Ills, con-
tains the animus of the railroad COR
1>orations. This circular letter gives
notice to the employees of that railroad
company, at Springfield, that they must
at once join Mckinley clubs. A copy Of
the letter is in the hands of member
of the democratic state central commit
tee, and will be printed in all free silver
papers throughout the country.
The Louisville e. Nashville Railroad
company is also engaged in the busi-
ness Of intimidation. This company
has issued upon stationary which has
always been used by the company, q
blank application for membership in
railroad mems Sound money" clubs.
The blank application is printed on yell
dow paper, and has over the right hand
corner margin, in small type, IF g."
showing that it is one of a series of
forms used for the systematic herding
of its employees. The employees of the
road TO whom this blank application
was handed are expected to return the
same duly signed.

the attempt to elect Mr.. Bryan and
would devote the rest of the campaign
to the election of legislatures in states
where United States senator's are to be
chosen. When Chairman Jones atten-
tion was called to the bulletin he said:
LIT is only one of the series of false
hoods the republicans have spread in
order to bolster up their lost cause.
There is not syllable of truth in the
assertion that we have abandoned Bryan
or that we intend doing SO. Mr.. Bryan
lis already elected, from now on 1t LIS
only question Of majority. We not
only intend to elect Mr.. Bryan, but we
are sure to carry enough legislatures to
increase the free silver majority in the
United States senate.
"In this connection 1 desire to warn
tlro public against any statements ap-
pearing from this time on in the gold
bug press concerning the campaign. It
seems to be the programme from this
Oh to make statements concerning the
democratic campaign, its managers and
candidates which are intended to de-
ceive the public. One day they have Mr..
Bryan sick, another day they have the
national democratic headquarters
closed; one day we ure bankrupt and
the next day we have barrels of money.
The next thing they will be saying that
Mr.. Bryan is dead. want to warn the
public to put no stock in or believe any
ching they say in the goldbug papers

The republican managers have be-
come so badly frightened over Iowa
that they have not only been compelled
within the past three days to place
.everal hundred thousands of dollars in
that state, but have also been COM

subterfuge of claiming everything. A
republican morning newspaper having

most versatile correspondent into that
state for the purpose Of manufacturing
Mckinley majority out of an adverse
majority Of 1000. It is known positive

that the last republican poll of Iowa
gave that state to Bryan by 1000 ma
