Political Topics.

Senator David Il. Hill is. if anything.
more reticent than ever when approached
on the subject of politics. The action of
the Buffalo convention. instead of serving
to remove all restraint upon his tongue
appears To have sealed his lips more
tightly. Tt.y gossips had it that the SEN
ator had made known his intention to
some OF his intimates that he had con-
cludod TO come out publicly for Bryan
and free silver As ii turned out, the re-
port had absolutely no basis. Evidently
the senator's friends are as much in the
dark regarding his political intent ions as
the general public is. The time has not
come as yet for him TO announce his posi-
tion.
The most important political Informal
ton that escaped from Republican head
quarters at Washington. ID. c.. Saturday.
was a statement made by Representative
Mercer about the efforts the Congress
siona committee is making to secure "a
sound money ma jority in the next House
of Representatives. He says negotiations
are now pending with the managers in
New York city looking to the election of
Il solid gold standard delegation from that
city. 1t is proposed to make vigorous
fight to capture every district for the Re-
puhlicanS but if ii should turn oui that
sound money Democrat stands Il better
chance of being elected than the Republic
can. steps will be taken to throw the
strength of the Republican forces to the
gold standard Democrat. Similar alli-
anccs will also be made i'll several of the
southern states.
