A Visit to "COin" Harvey.

G, orSe Wilson, of this city, whilst
in Chicago, called on Coin Harvey,
who is familiar with and had used some
of Mr. Wilson's writings and published
some letters from him in a newspaper
called Com" that he started in
Chicago, before writing his famous
book called "Coin's Financial School" ="
Mr.. Wilson says of him: He impressed
me bv his likeness in face and manner
to jeff. Davis. He has a slightly
a,qulllne nose, clear grey eyes with
which he can almost look through a
person. He is about the size of Mr..
Davis. But he Is especially like him
in what may be called his preparedness.
That is he is armed at all points, and
every ready to use his arms; never
caught off his guard. His manner and
his way of talking are quicker than
those of Mr.. Davis, at the time knew
the latter, after the war. Whoever
attacks Harvey will find that he is not
asleep, and for every thrust one gives
Harvey he is sure to get a sharp and
vigorous one in return. One of the
best examples of the man was given in
his celebrated debate with Horr. Horr
not only did not know much but was
not aware of the fact. He was like an
old smooth-bore fiint-lock and Harvey
like Calling gun. HOrr would speak
and then join his crowd of friends and
go TO chatting about everything that
any one would talk to him about.
Harvey arranged before the debate that
no one of his friends should speak a
word to him during the debate nor he
to them. The only person to whom
he spoke a word outside of his speeches
was his secretary, Miss Hicks. She Is
most interesting and comely young
person, with Il we'll shaped head
covered with the red-gold hair of our
forefathers, the freeman of Northern
Europe, and has the manner of one
who Is confident Of her position as
perhaps the best informed woman on
finance now in the United States.
She knew just what books, documents
or references he wanted and just when
to hand them to him. Necessity has
pushed women into nearly all lines of
business, and there are many proofs
that the presence of men and women
together in business as well as in schools
Is advantageous to both. The Roman
writers tell us that our forefathers in
Northern Europe put great trust in the
wisdom of their women. Harvey is
terribly in earnest and is the very
Stonewall Jackson of the struggle
against plutocracy's attempt to destroy
the liberties secured for us by our
revolutionary forefathers: He is young,
strong and hopeful; has plenty of
energy to use and uses it. His middle
name is Trlgg, which Is a good name.
1t is a worn-down form of the Gothic
word 1'ryggue and means "true."

HON. A. A. LESUEUR.
1t Is Evident That His Name Will
Appear on the Democratic State
Ticket for Secretary of State.

From the jefferson City Tribute
1t is evident that when the demo-
cratic state ticket Is made up the name
of Hon. A. A. Lesueur will appear
upon it as the party's candidate for
secretary of stare. 1t is almost as GER
tain that he will have no opposition for
the nomination. While worthy gen.
tlemen have been named as possible
candidates, none have received enough
encouragement to justify the hazard of
a campaign against Capt. Lesueur, and
it may safely be predicted that his
nomination will come by acclsmation.
1t matters not of what splendid
material the democratic ticket may be
composed, the name of Lesueur will
add strength to it and contribute no
little to It's certain success in Novembe
The popular appreciation of the
present secretary of state is easily
explained. He has brought his Office
to a condition of efficiency that is
unequaled in any of the states. He is
not only courteous, prompt and
accommodating as an official, but he is
firmness and impartialily itself. He
will not tolerate loose or questionable
methods. He brings to bear such
thorough intelligence and knowledge
of the laws governing the details of his
office that errors cannot creep in, and
the business men of the state, lawyers
and others have come to rely upon
him implicitly. He is pnblic-spirited,
progressive, wide-awake citizen, and
an active promoter of all enterprises
that tend to the growth, development
and renown of the Stale. lie attends
to his own business and never inter-
feres with the affairs of others. He
acts u, on the sound theory that duty
well performed is the only sure way TO
permanent favor with the people. He
has the courage of his convictions and
permits no man to misrepresent him
on any question. He despises Il
demagogue. He has advocated with
potent pen and eloquent voice the
rehabilitation OF silver ever since it was
stricken down in 1873, yet he never, in
his dignified advocacy, offended any
democrat of opposing views. In
private life he is free from vice, a
model of domestic and civic virtues,
and at all times an honorable, Chris
tian gentleman, whose influence in
society is wholesome and ennobling.
In every respect, as an official, as a
citizen, as democrat and as a strong
and forcible public speaker, his name
will be tower of strength to the
ticket

appreciated.
Our fellow citizen of poultry fame
was present and accepted an invitation
to address the meeting. He acquitted
himself in his usual happy manner.
Mr.. Harrington did not contine
himself to any special subject, there
being no theme assigned him, but he
is a man of varied attainments, and
gave zest to the occasion by covering
the entire ground, and putting the
audience in an excellent humor.
Henry Torluempke wss reelected
president; Mr.. Rabins, of MAYHEM,
was reelected secretary. All the other
officers were reelected.
The meeting adjourned to hold its
next meeting at Alma in June.
The meeting was pleasant, instruct
i've and profitable 10 all present.
The earnestness and enthusiasm
manifested was inspiring to the
Jealous workers, and must have been
very encouraging to the worthy pres
ident, whose courtesy, good judgment
and devotion IS worthy of special
praise He is proving the right man

Fifty-Eight Feet of Children.


From the indianapolis Sentinel
What follows will be of interest to
students of natural history and climatic
conditions. The family referred to is
famous hereabouts as being the tallest
in the aggregate of any IN the county,
although there are individuals of greater
statue. What will also interest students
is the fact that the parents are rather
small. The father is feet inches in
height; the mother less, though both
are Of squatly mould. The height and
weight of the children is thus gwen:
James Connolly, 6 feet, 9 inches in
height; weight, 26O pounds.
Edward Connolly, 6 feet, 4 inches /;
weight, 245.
Sarah Connolly, G feet, inches !;
weight, 1862.
w. Connolly, 6 feet, 7la inches !;
weight, 1873.
NJ. Connolly, feet. Az inches !;
weight, 242.
Daniel Connolly, feet, 6 inches
weight, 245.
Bernard Connolly, 6 feet, 9 inches !;
weight, 24S.
Ellen Connolly, 8 feet, II inches;
weight, 200.
Bridget Connelly, feet, ? inches :;
weight, 195.
4. Connolly, 6 feet, 614 inches;
weight, l7s.
The total height of the children is So
feet, So inches; total weight, 2,277
pounds. The father thinks that life
among the timber, coupled with abun-
dant diet, is the cause of the extraOr-
dinary growth of his children.

Gold at Cripple Creek.-The Best Way
TO Get There is Over the Santa Fe
ROute.

The fabulously rich gold mining dis
trict of Cripple Creek, Col, is attracting
hundreds of people. BY spring the rush
bids fair to be enormous. That there is an
abundance of gold there is demonstrated
beyound doubt. Fortunes are being made
rapidly.
To reach Cripple Creek take the Santa
Fe route, the only standard guage direct
to the camp. Through Pullman sleepers
and chair cars. The Santa Fe will land
you right in the heart of Cripple Creek.

In Bad company.

From the Nevada Mail
The gold-standard 'sdemocrais" Of
Missouri are sending misleading CIR
cu!ars broadcast over the state.
Some months ago it was shown by
the Mail and other democratic papers
that this literature was mailed from the
law Office of John w. Noble the well
known republican leader. Since this
exposure it is not known where this
dIsorganizing literature is mailed from,
but certain it is that the men who are
engaged in the work of sending it out,
under the guise of democrats, are
placing themselves in the position of
dlsorganizers and party boilers.
In view of the fact that David II.
Francis has held the high Office of
governor, by the votes of the democracy
of tins state, it is at least in bad taste
and exceedingly bad faith for him TO
stand in the lead of such an unholy
movement. If he has respect for him
self and his political future he will
desert the crowd of disorganizing
monopolists who have set themselves
up to defeat the will of the hard
working masses. lie owes il to- the
party which has honored him to do
this. he cannot afford to longer turn
his back upon the democratic party.
His corporation agent associates are
doubtless paid by the month for their
influence toward wreck and ruin. They
can afford it, They have nothing to
lose. But such a course, if further
persisted in by Mr.. Francs, will be
political death to him forever more
His manhood should rebel against it
and the crowd with which he has of
late allied himself.
