What the People Are Saying Thinking
and Doing.
Silver Dick Bland seems to have put
down stake at the parting of the
ways" and hung out the red lantern OF
| danger. In other words Missouri has
gone free silverwards by a ratio of
about 100 to L. The delegation may
possibly allow Ex-Governor Dave Fran
| els and Riley Hall to sit in the delega-
tion at Chicago for two reasons. First,
it would tend to keep them out of mis-
chief, and second, they could be ex-
hibited as relics of the expiring gold
standard element in that State.
Arkansas will also send solid free
silver delegation to Chicago. The
canvas between the candidates for
Governor in that State is developing
the sentiment there to be almost
unanimous for free, silver In one
county YelD, in the Democratic prim-
aries, 2,20S votes were cast, and 2,201
were cast for free silver; only seven be-
ing cast against it. Not only is Arkan-
sas Democracy espousing the cause Of
free silver, but its representatives op-
pose banks of issue. favor govern
ment issue Of money, and strict rail-
road control; the candidates for Gov
ernor taking this open stand.
This being the case, and the trend of
many leading Populists being in the
direction of adopting substantially the
same kind of platform, the Arkansas
Democrats don't understand why the
Populists can't join the Democratic
party. In recent interview with Hon.
Dan w. Jones, one of the candidates
for Governor, and the leading one. he
said the Democrats would nominate a
man at Chicago whom the Populis;s
could support, and he thought that
they would do so.

ern reformer, takes up the gauntlet and

ABOUT SILVER.

Tom. Watson Rises to Make Few
Pertinent Remarks.
In 1873 the standard silver dollar was
legal tender power of the silver dollars
which had already been coined was not
affected by the Act of 1873 1t was not
until 1874 that Congress took away the
full legal tender power of silver and
limited it to payments of five dollars.
Silver remained in this outlawed con-
dition until 1878, when the Bland-Alli-
son Act fully restored its legal tender
quality, and limited the coinage to $48,-
000,0 900 per year.
Between 1873 and 1892 the dear old
Democratic party never let up on the
wicked Republicans who would not
allow unlimited coinage of silver, in
stead of the limited coinage of the
Bland Act and the Sherman Act of 1890.
Kept on worrying over the matter, the
Democrats did, until the people finally
gave them a chance to reopen the
mints to the unlimited coinage of sill
yer. Whereupon said Democrats con-
cluded that the best preparatory step
to unlimited coinage was the stoppage
of the limited coinage We already had.
In other words, they thought it best,
before pulling the door wide open, to
shut it hard and fast. Having found
said door more than half open, they
entirely closed it, as preliminary to
pulling it wide open. They got it shut
easy enough; and shut it stays. II 1t is
never opened until one of the old par
ties opens it, free silver and Gabriel

Havana, December S.-There was
much excitement here when it became
known that Maceo had crossed the mill
itary line with, it is understood a
strong force of insurgents, especially
when coupled with the fighting between
the Spanish troops and the insurgents
close to the city.
1t seems evident that the Insurgents
commander has not only cleverly turn
ed the flank of Captain General wey-
ler, but has succeeded in getting on
his rear and crossing the famous mill
tary line near the port which has been
used as the base of supplies for the
Spanish troops in Pinar del Rio. The
Importance Of this movement cannot
be exaggerated. The exact whereabouts
of Weyler is not known, but he is be-
lieved to be hunting for Maceo in the
mountains in the extreme eastern part
of Pinar del Rio while the insurgent
chief has seemingly doubled on his
tracks, turned the flank of the Spanish
general, and passed in his rear in the
direction of this city crossing the mill
itary line at win and possibly being by
this time in the vicinity Of the capital
of Cuba.
If Maxine Gomez has carried out the
plan attributed to him, that of pushing
westward to the support of Maceo the
junction of the two main bodies of in
forces may be expected shortly. |
Nothing appears to be known Of the
strength Of the insurgent forces with
Antonio Maceo in this province. I'm
portant events may occur within a
short time. There is no doubt that the
