THE MOON NJ BACK.
1t Will Hereafter Advocate the Free
Coinage of Silver at Is to 1.

One by one they are coming back. The
latest one to return Is the Odessa Moon.
It was wrong, but now its right on silver.
The following is taken from the Moon:
The Moon IS a democratic journal, and
as such believes in Submitting to the
majority. The convention at Sedalia on
the 10Th inst, was practically unanimous
for the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 10 to 1.
We nave for three years, or since the
coinage question has become so prom
inent in politics, opposed free coinage of
silver at 10 to 1. We have dom this from
a pure motive.
The party in this state, and perhaps
nationally, demands free coinage. and we
are willing to acquiesce.
No man is infallible. We nay have
been mistaken.
We have never believed with the
es ern democrats, that the ~tandard
should be gold. If it were possible a
double standard was what we wanted.
We attended the Sedalia convention,
and while We do not wish to acknowledge
being converted" we have undergone a
change of heart. The Moon henceforth
will advocate the free coinage of American
silver on equal terms with gold at IS to L.
Recently we have had more or less to
do with writing free silver editorials for
our Higginsville adjunct (the Globe).
Ministers of the gospel sometimes become
converted after years OF preaching.
We have always o good work for the
democratic party. In our new role we
will do a great deal more for what the
party demands at this time.
We here ask forgiveness for all the
wrongs committed and promise in the
future to live true and obedient follower
of the demands of a majority of the party.
We ask the prayers OF all the free silver
people that we may "hold out faithful to
the end"

1t is conceded that Jackson county
republicans will give one of the delegates
to their national convention to the Lafay-
cite county republicans. There are
several spoken of for the honor. Il. M.

ortator of this city has many friends in

selection. Mayor Henry Tieman, OF Con-
cordia, an honest, faithful republican war
horse is 1.-THE favorite with many. Hig-
g~insvIlle has four aspirants. They are
Sam j. Kleinsmidt, the editor of the
Advance, IL. G. Schwartz, the editor of

the attorney, and E.. F. Keyton the recent
republican nominee for mayor of Hig-
ginsville.
While evangelist Rev. Jno. b. Culpep-

had no fears o getting a new one as
he felt that God would direct some good
christians to give it to him. He did not
know perhaps that he was talking then
to the future donors. But he was. Hon.
Robert Taubman looked over the situa-
ton and concluded that he would like to
make Just that kind of an Investment.
But he was not the only one who wanted
a hand in that affair. He would have
given the whole amount, f4O0, but others
of the evangelist's admirers wanted stock
Ia the tent. Mr.. w. II. Bell wanted a
block OF 800 stock, and others subscribed
for shares of go and IS each. Mr.. Taub-
man took stock at the value of S225, and
wrote to Rev. Mr.. Culpepper that the S4OO
was ready and to draw on him whenever
he saw fit, for the money. God answered
! the prayer.

PRESS COMM ENT.
Eeiier's Forecast.

special to the Rocky Mountain News
gives the following interview with Sena
tor Teller, first printed in the New York
Commercial Advertiser;
"a platform at st. Louis favoring hi
metallism will not delude the free coin
age men in the least. The convention had
better declare straight out for the gold
standard, rather than attempt to straddle
the silver question.
"McKinley will not gain ten votes
among the free silver people by the bun
combe on bimetaliism. We won't let the
same yellow dog bite us twice. We shall
insist for the white metal first, last and
all the time. If we don't gel what we
want, we shall bolt, and that's all there is
to it.
"The st. Louis convention will gain
nothing by straddling the silver question,
and lose great deal. The east wants
the gold standard and the west silver. If
the Republicans try to sit on these two
chairs they may be compelled to sit on
the floor.
"How do you make that out, senator?"
was asked.
"Wel, it looks to me as if Cleveland
would be nominated by the sound money
Democrats. If so, he would carry New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and per-
haps Massachusetts, as against Mckinley.
He would lose, however, in Arkansas,
South Carolina and other southern states.
"Indeed, the prospects are for bolt at
both conventions, and the election thrown
into the house of representatives. There
are likely to be three tickets in the field,
represented by goldbug, silverbug and
straddlebug. The chances are that the
presidential election will have to be set
tied in the house, where Wyoming would
equal New York and Colorado Pennsyl-
vania.
81 concede that Mckinley would likely
be elected, but this is by no means GER
tain. The silver people would have the
balance of power.
eff Cleveland is nominated at Chicago
you can put it down that there will be o
third presidential candidate in the field
The silver question will be the great is
sue this year.
"The silver people are not fools and
they will not be buncoed at st. Louis by
platform favoring bimetalism.
Besides this, we will take no chances
on the candidate. We class Mckinley for
the gold standard on the ground that ar
ounce of prevention is worth a pound Of
cure. We shall take no risks even if some
of his friends do promise that he will not
veto free coinage bill should he b.
elected president.
"The free silver people are with thu
gold standard people on this point a
least. They want no straddle at st
Louis
