Gov. Flower Says Silver Is Los

\ GARBLED SPEECH
OF His Being Circulated, Says
Governor Flower.
Quotes Part of Tt as He DeIiv-
cred It.

Chicago. Oct. 19.-Ex-Governor Ros-
well p. Flower. accompanied by Mrs.
Flower, is in the city. Governor Flower
was seen by a reporter of the Associat-
ed Press shortly after his arrival and
his attention was called to an article
in the New York Morning Journal, pub-
lished since he left his home, with two
parallel columns purporting to give q
speech he made in New Hartford in
1884, cOntrasted with speeches made
this fall of an alleged different tenor
on the currency question. The governor
said: 1T was a garbled statement Of
my speech of 1894, and If they had pub
lished the whole Of it, 1T would have
given q different impression. Here is
the part they left OUT An English
statesman has been telling the Scotch
farmers that as silver goes down wheat
goes down Z have been in congress
four years and have studied this ques-
ton OF the currency, and never knew
that silver had any connection with
wheat Silver would never go down
If it were used all the while as money
by the whole world. But with the DIS
coVery Of silver in Idaho and Nevada
and the improved process and machin-
eery. there was an overproduction of
silver and finally commercial nations
began to say they were getting too
much, and then they began to demone-
tie it. 1t went down until the United
States could not bear the load alone
II the Bryanites can get any com
fort out of this extract, they are well
come to it, They ought, in justice, to
give the full and correct language or
the speech as wide circulation as they
have done the garbled extra ,~-. which
they print in their sO-called deauTy par
alIel column There would then be
seen to be no inconsistency between the
position [ occupied in 1894 and that
which I occupy today upon the cur

COL. ANTHONY ALARMED.
Editor of the Leavenworth Times
SAYS seThere's q DeaLr

Leavenworth. Oct. 19.-The Leaven-
worth Times contains the following
double loaded editorial.
IS THERE TREACHERY
There are ugly rumOrs af1Oat through
out the state, during the last few days.
which call in question the integrity and
fidelity of the leading men in the Re
publican state central committee. It
has been admitted by those who are in
the confidence of those members that
they seek the election of Morrill, al the
expense of our candidate for president
Ihere has been a fear IN the minds of
many of the best Republicans of kan
sas that there was too much truth in
the above suspicion.
Tt is claimed by some Of the members
of the committee that If the state goes
for Mckinley it viii tend to build up
the Cy Leland gang, that if Bryan car
ries the state and Morrill, is elected
again it viii place the Simpson Bris-
tOw-Morrin outfit permanently in con
troll the releSate Leland to the rear
That this is the condition of affairs is
also supported by the fact that promi-
nent adherents of MOrrill-in fact his
confidential friends everywhere claim
MOrrdlls election by 10000 majority
while they place Mckinley as doubtful
or at most with not over 5, 900 majority.
Every time a report is sent out from
Topeka putting MOrril's prospects
higher than McKinley's in Kansas Nc
Kinley's chances are weakened
We have no great love for King Cy.
but We demand that, Cy Leland or no
Cy Leland, Morrill, or no Morrill, COM
mittee or no committee, nothing shall
be done by any of them which would
jeopardize the election Of presidential
electors who viii vote for William Nc
Kinley.
1T is a further fact that If the Repub-
lican party had not been encum bered
by the nomination in Kansas of one or
more candidates who are not the choice
Of the rank and file of the Republican
voters, this state would unQuestiOnably
give to the candidates who represent
protection to home Industries a ma jOri-
" of over 50, 900.
There is evidently something wrong
somewhere Somebody has been play
ing false.
one great blunder is being made by
the committee in sending throughout
the state, and particularly to this coun-
~, men from outside who in their
speeches ignore the question Of protec-
ton to home Industries and put mean
ing on the money plank in the Republi-
can platform so offensive as to drive
many Republicans who favor bimetal-
nsm into the ranks of the Is to / party
lit would seem to any intelligent man
that if the speakers would cOnfine their
remarks to a reading of the pretended
gold plank and the Interpretation in the
platform of the meaning of the word
gold" there used and If they would
avoid giving their own opinions, they
would best conserve the interests of the
Republican party and increase the Re
publican vote in the state.

New York. Oct 19.-Wheat made a
perpendicular advance of 41z cents per

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
The Irish Laud Bill Carried Through the
House of Commons.

The Irish Laud Bill Carried Through the
House of Commons.
From the New York Sun.
On Wednesday the Irish Land bill
passed It's third reading In the House Of
Commons and WAS read first time In
the House OF L9rds. Mr. John Redmond .
on the part Of the Parnellites, ard MIR.
John Dillon, speaking for a section of the
antl-PArneliitss. admitted that the
measure was an Improvement on the
Land Act Of 1881, and on the existing
provisions for land purchase, but de
clared that it WAS far from giving the
tenants their full rights. The passage
OF the bill has bsen resisted hotly
by the Irish landlords, who will continue
their opposition In the Upper House I;
bat, as 1t Was supported earnestly by
A. ]. BAlfour, who recognizes the
necessity of doing something to allay
agitation In Ireland, we presume that
Lord Salisbury will not permit the
measure to be beaten or modified
seriously. The majority of the Irish
landlords dislike the bill, because they
forsee that II will promote aignally the
purchasing OF holdings by the oceuplerp,
aud that, although the consent OF the
landlords is required nomlnally, IL Will
In prsctioe operate as a long step
toward compulsory purchase Bat why
should not the landlords be willing to
sell their land1 Because, they ear, the
sale OF their land on any terms obtainable
under the government bill would
mean for them a grievous reduction Of
income. The largest price that they can
hope for Is a sum equivalent to twenty
years purchase. This would signify
that thsy are now getting per cent.
rent To keep the purchase money
equally safe, they must put II, they say,
into ~ per cent investments. There Is
obvious exaggerAtion la this statement.
There are Investments which are quite "a
safe earners Of interest as Is irish land,
and pay more than % per cent on the
other hand, In the estimate put forward
by the landlords no account Is made of
outgo In the shape Of payments to agents
Besides, experience should show that II Il
better to take twenty years purchase
now, than walt decade or two and OBJ.
tain less. Fifteen years ago the landlords
could have got better price than Il
offered now, had they bsen willing Co ac
cspt IL.
