kilograms and letters to friends
in Missouri from Senator Vest are
in evidence, showing that the Sena-
tor would like to have the indorse
ment of the Democracy of the State
for President.
Not that he expects the nomina
ton. On the contrary, he does not
yet see how a free silver man can
win this year, but he thinks he is
equally entitled, with Mr.. Bland and
Gov. Stone, to national recognition.
This is why Senator Vests person
ality has suddenly become an
issue This it is which has caused
so many complimentary notices of
the Senator in the St. Louis Repub
lie and melted some opposition to
him from extreme free silverites,
who think that Bland, as the pioneer
and leader, should have the right
of way.
Senator Vest has strong follow
ing in all the silver States, and il
would be greatly gratifying to secure
an Endorsement of his course from
them on the money question. Such
a suggestion,it appealed to him witt
great force, and now Bland ane
Stone must look to their pationa

Can't Check Silver Movement,

Washington, March 6.-The East

are seriously disturbed over the new
element of silver and protection,
which has so recently made a strong
showing among the manufacturers.
1t has disturbed Reed, Quay and
Morton. As its strongest supporters
come from among the protected
manufacturers of Pennsylvania. Mr..
Quay properly holds that It is a

the most powerful! element in Re

Senator Quay was asked how he
proposed to stop this new move

how anyone was going to check it.

was for a deficiency carried over
from 1894, but of the half million
appropriated for the year 1895 SO
there remains to-day in the treasury
of the state only $500. All the rest
has been expended and a con.
servative estimate is that there will
be deficiency of at least S250,0OC
for the next general assembly tc
meet. This will have to be carried
by the sheriffs, circuit clerks, clerks
of criminal courts and special judges
in the state. They will have to wait

that there is a deficiency in thi

scripps- McRae League Special.
The latest bit of Democratic polit
itical gossip in the kaw City is that
Judge James Gibson of this city has
been selected as the strongest and
ablest man to be nominated by the
free silverites as the democratic can
didate for Governor.
This is a tip from inside sources,
and it is further stated that Gov.
Stone. r. P. Bland, Col. Sam Cook,
State Treasurer L. V. Stephens and
other radical silver leaders in Mis-
souri, are in line to secure Gibson 9
nomination.
Judge Gibson was a candidate
before the state convention four
years ago, and had it not been for
the opposition of the Dalton forces
he would have landed the guberna
torial plum Up to the time that
Gibson espoused the silver cause be
was the personal candidate of Ex
