Republican Campaign Manager Analyses
the Situation.
Milwaukee, July 19.-Henry C. Payne,
Wisconsin's member Of the national re-
publican committee, who is to have
charge of the Chicago headquarters,
yesterday said:
Il consider the silver movement to
be nothing less than a revolution. The
country has experienced nothing like it
since the war, and at the opening of
the war the agitation, general interest
and deep feeling were not more gem
eraL At present there are embraced in
the financial movement leading men
and newspapers in all parts Of the
country, north, south, east and west.
THE fight of the siIyerites against
their country will be lost. AS fast as
the froth of the Chicago convention
disappears the clear light of truth will
reveal to the people the dangers of the
silver movement. / believe when the
the polls close the country will have
given an unprecedented condemnation
Of the movement led by Tillman and
seconded by Altgeld."
Mr.. Payne went into details to some
extent regarding the extraordinary cir
cumstances of the campaign He said:
"In a campaign sentiment is on.a
thing. political afffliation and opinions
are another, and pecuniary welfare is
still another, and the great cause of the
deep special interest in the forthcoming
campaign is that it affects directly and
most seriously the pocketbooks of the
people
Where is the workingman in thi:
| movement? To-day he is paid with
good money, but how can he get his
wages raised If the people are not pros
porous? If the silver movement sue
ceeds he will get one-half in actual val
lie of what he now obtains Mexico is
| the best example of the silver move
ment in effect that know of. An
American in that country can step into
a restaurant, eat his dinner, hand the
cashier a dollar of the United States
and get Mexican dollar back, besides
| paying for his dinner. But the Mexi-
can dollar has more intrinsic or real
value than the dollar of Uncle Sam
These facts should show that silver
money is simply fiat money.
| why should not the silver mine own
ers rejoice to have silver win if it ena-
bles them to take fifty cents worth OF
silver to the mint, have Uncle Sam
coin it at his own expense and hand
them back a dollar? Under such ad-
vantageous circumstances why should
! the mine owners not apply themselves
to making the silver craze rabid? But
how about the fraud on the American
people? I think the independent posi-
| tion taken by democrats who refuse to
| indorse the Chicago nominees is proof
of the highest kind of patriotism and
| devotion to principle.

GERuINY IND FRANCE.
Former to Be Represented at the Paris
Exhibition-How it is Viewed.

Former to Be Represented at the Paris
Exhibition-How it is Viewed.
Berlin, July 19.-The acceptance by
Germany of an Invitation to be repre-
sented at the Paris exhibition in 1900
is variously commented upon by the
Berlin and provincial German press.
The Tageblatt, in it's article upon. the
subject, thinks that it indicates the Sc
curity of peace for many years to come
and prospect of the ultimate recon-
ciliation of Germany and France.
The Hamburg Correspondent says
that although exhibitors are fatigued
with exhibitions, particularly after
their experience at the Worlds Fair
in Chicago it is an act of political
courtesy and would testify to the
friendly disposition of Germany toward
France if Germany would take a large
part In the exhibition.
The Hamburger Nachrichten, in an
article written in a thoroughly Bis
marckian vein, refuses to share in the
veiw that Germany taking part in the
exhibition is necessary. German in
dustries, the paper says, ought not to
be advised to take part in the exhibi-
tion unless their own interests prompt
them to do SO.
Nobody" the Nachrichten adds,
"can even remotely foretell what may
happen to France before 1900. Ger
mans ought not to show a disposition
to cultivate the French. 1t is a senti-
ment thrown away is received with
scant courtesy and does not abate the
vehemence of their desire for revenge.
1t is best to trust to impressing France
by the strength of our army and the
growing numerical dominance of the
German people, who must keep in mind
the fact that France will not hesitate
to spring at their throats the moment
she thinks she has chance to win.'

RErosr no Ponnocx ARGUMENT.
Venezuela's Claims Sustained - British
Hoist BY Their Own Petard.


Hoist BY Their Own Petard.
Washington, July 19.-Something of
a sensation in the Venezuelan dispute
is expected in day or two, possibly
tomorrow, when retort to the Pol
lock argument which prefaced the
British blue book is delivered to the
commission and made public stimuli
taneously in this country and England.
Up to this time the agents of the Cara
cas- government have contented them
selves with putting up evidence before
the Venezuelan commission and point
ing out the numerous Inconsistencies
and false deductions in the British
case, but since the distinguished Bos-
ton lawyer James J. Storrow, has be-
come associated with Counsel Scruggs
in Venezuela's behalf the case has been
whipped into legal shape and brief
has been prepared which is understood
to handle Lord Salisbury, Professor
Pollock and the other British lawyers
and diplomats without gloves.
1t Is said that Mr.. Storrow has ut
terly demolished the vital points of
the British contention and turned Pro-
fessor Pollocks favorite arguments di-
rectly against Lord Salisbury's pre-
tension. In his few months connec-
ton with the case its entire conduct
has been changed from one of defence
to that Of most vigorous aggressive
ness. 1t is said that Mr.. Storrow was
secured as associate counsel at the sug-
gestion of Secretary Olney, whose
classmate he was at Harvard Law
school. In addition to being the chief
legal adviser Of the Bell Telephone
company and other great corporations
Mr.. Storrow has always been deep
student in International law and for
eign affairs. His library includes one
of the few complete sets in this coun-
try of the Royal Geographical society's
publications and he was a participant
on the winning side of the controversy
between Dana and Lawrence, twenty
years ago, over the charge of plagiar-
ism, In editing Wheaton's International
Law.

ILLINOIS GOLD DEMOCRATS
VIII Insist Upon Solid Currency Stat
Ticket.

Ticket.
Chicago, July 49, Summing up the
result Henry S. Robbins, the leader or
the local gold movement, says:
"The large number Of urgent letters
and kilograms received from democrats
all over the country emphasizes the
necessity and wisdom of third ticket.
Except in a few instances these are
from individuals. This sentiment must
be crystalilzed into some kind OF state
organization before an effect1ve steps
can be taken towards deciding upon
or calling another convention The
sound money leaders of the other
states should call together the repre-
sentative sound money democrats as
has been done in Missouri and Min
nesota. A third ticket should be con-
sidered from national and not a local
standpoint"
1t is probable that at the executive
committee meeting Monday steps will
| be taken to call general conference
| of representatives from all states
which are so opposed and upon the re-
suit of this conference will depend the
| new convention. One Of the letters re-
ceived is from Harry f. Thompson OF
Brunswick, Me-, member Of the demos
cratic congressional committee OF the
First district He says he will not vote
for Bryan and Sewall. John B. Han
son, receiver of the United States land
office, Watertown, S. d., writes:

dates will not be supported by state

travelling with DIR. Clark the COM

September my wife engaged as travel
ling companion to Mrs. Clark, who at
that time moved in the best circles of
Buffalo. I broke up housekeeping, put
my goods in storage and came to Bos-
ton to accept my present position. My
wife has always borne the best of repu-
tation and have heard nothing to the
contrary since l parted with her. She
has written regularly and 1 expected
her to come here in September. l re-
ceived a letter from her to this effect
June 29, written from a little village
up in the Catskills. I shall go to New
York to do what 1 can to help her. 1
am sure that if she passed counterfeit
money she did not do it Intentionally.
She may have been influenced by the
doctor"
