JOHN E. RUSSELL'S VIEW.
Thinks We're Going to Have Free
Silver Any Way

AAAsAAo OO1uB 10 nave Free
Silver Any Way.
Special From a Stan Correspor dent
CHICAGO, Ill, July 6-Ex-Representatiye
John E. Russell of Massachusetts says:
Il do not intend to bolt the convention. 1t
is not the intention CT the gold men to bolt
They know that it is goins for silver and
all they can do is to accept the best treat
ment they can get and hope that it will be
courteous. There is no danger of the New
York people boiling: neither Mr. Whitney
Lor Mr.. Hill contemplate such thing. We
have to support the ticket and hope for
the lest. If Mr.. Bland is nominated on a
free silver platform that will be no reason
fer us to bolt.
"If Teller is nominated 1 surely will not
bolt. 1 did that once, when Greeley was
nominated. I bolted and took the stump
for Grant 1t was mistake, which shall
Eot repeat. 1 should have supported Gree
ley. If Teller is nominated on a democratic
platform shall support him.
I'VE are going to have free silver any
how. no matter who is elected. If Nc
Kinley is elected on a gold platform he
cannot avoid free silver. We gold men
have got to make up our minds to that
He will have to ask Congress for authority
him? Certainly not; no more than they
would give it to US. Then what is he to
do? He will ask for revenue Congress
will not give it to him unless he consents
to free silver. He will have to consent
The hope and intention of the republicans
is to force US to silver basis before the
close Of Mr.. Cleveland's term
rs that likely to be done?'
II should say it was. If Mr. Cleveland is
forced to offer more bonds 1t is sure to be
done. 1t is in the cards now. think you
will see the gold reserve disappear shortly
1t will be Tapped up like a newsboy laps up
hokie-pokie ice cream. If this occurs, the
treasury will go on silver basis. We are
going to have silver in spite of all we can
do, no matter how the election results"
John E. Russell is one of the most pro-
nounced gold men in the country.

STEVENSON FOR SILVER.
Didn't Think 1t Was Necessarv to
Declare His Record.

Special From a Stan Correspondent
CHICAGO. July 6-Vice President Stew
enson is coming out Of the woods He has
been lying low as every one knows. on
the financial question for two years, This
silence has caused him to be dubbed
stevenson, the Sphynx," and resulted in
his being entirely ignored by the President
makers at Chicago this time Yesterday
morninS ex-Congressman Thompson w.
McNeely wired Mr.. Stevenson at Blooming
ton, asking him the date of the great silver
conference that met in Springfield August
1875 and asking If he (Stevenson) did
not then and there favor the free coinage
of silver.
The answer was as follows:
Bloomington, ILL.,, July e.
Hon. T. W. McNeely. Sherman House, Chi
cago:
1 think the silver meeting at Springfield
was held in the early summer of 1878. I
remember that you and 1 were in attend
ance. My election to Congress in the fol-
lowing November was the result of my
advocacy Of the reconciliation of silver.
Sig. A. E. STEVENSON
In addition to this, Jas. ODonnen of
Bloomington gives out the following inter-
view:
Il can say positively" said Mr.. O'Don-
nell, that Mr.. Stevenson is a free silver
man. Before he returned to BLOOMINGTON
1 received a message from him requesting
me to call as soon as he arrived in Bloom
ington. He got in last Friday. and 1 call
ed that night. We had a full and free
talk on the situation. and he told me that
he thought his position was so well known
to the country on the currency question
that 1t was unnecessary to dilate on it,
1 asked him If he went as far as the ma
jortty Of the democrats this year, and he
told me that he was for the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 18 to 1. He said he
had always been in harmony with that
view, and could not believe that there were
any democrats who were acquainted with
his public record who believed otherwise"
These developments in the case of Mr.
Stevenson have created sensation here, as
some think they have placed Mr. Steven
son in the ranks Of the available among
the free silver men. NOM.

hands pointed to where the mother had

of his sleeping father, shook him by the
shoulders and cried into his ears, ''Fa-

The man lay in deep sleep. After
drinking the tea sweat had broken
out, and heavy dream seemed to op-
press him. for when the child bent over
him he struck at him. But Jakob could
not be deferred. He knew what was at
stake if his father missed his duty. He
got the flag and put it in his fathers
hand. He dragged the heavy overcoat to
the bedside. He yelled, he tugged and
pulled at the sleeping man-but in
