Paw Them in silver.

Said an intelligent gentleman in our
presence few days ago, Il would like
to be secretary of the U. S. treasury a
short time. just long enough to stop
those gold drafts that are a constant
menace under existing practices" On
inquiry as to how he would proceed to
accomplish this result, he replied that he
would simply pay off those demand notes
in ~coin" as the Law provides they may
be paid, using silver coin for that pur-
pose, and this would effectually settle
the gold sharks who are now permitted
to exercise their own option and demand
gold for export. when under the law they
could only demand coin and that If this
option was exercised by the treasurer as
contemplated and silver used when gold
was for any cause scarce or in excessive
demand the difficulty would all be solved.

They do not complain of Mckinley's try

but they say they do not want it done in

that there was absolutely no warrant for

M. Morton's candidacy was in the inter-

''Mr. Norton he said, "is a sincere can

New York believe that there Is more than
a possibility. that there is probability, of
his receiving the nomination. They do not
look upon the matter as it is viewed by
people in Washington. Here, where we are
surrounded by the opposition influences
AID hear ell the claims made for others.
we regard his nomination as a possibility
and we are for him whatever his prospects
are.
Mr.. Morton Is a candidate in his own
right, rot as a, figurehead The delega-

way the delegation will vote will disprove

Milliken evidently thought that no an

ther. he said, that on several occasions he
had gone to see Miss Phillips after he had
taken d drink or two. She always objected
to IT, and he made it rule afterward
never to drink before going to see her.
In answer to questions from the District
attorney, Mr.. .Milliken said when he enter

the first thing he did was to look around
