WOlcott Says the Republican Demand for
Bimetaliism Must Be Accepted in Good
Faith-DemOcFatic Gains-Oickin-
sons Views-BFyan's Denial.

DEsvER, Col. Aug. S.-senator Ed
ward O. Wolcott has issued signed
statement outlining his position in the
present campaign. He says the silver
question is most vital, and that while
recognizing that international bimetal-
lism is the most desirable means by
which silver could be restored as a
money metal, he firmly believes the
United States could restore it indie
pendently of other nations He main
tains that his position has always been,
during his seven years in the senate,
the same as that of the other silver
senators. The financial plank of the
republican platform, he says, is far
from satisfactory, but he holds that the
pledge for the fnFtherance of interna.
tional bimetallism must be taken in
good faith in view Of the party record
on other questions. The platform is,
he afirms. aside from the money ques-
ton, without flaw, and the nominee
of the party man of highest presiden-
tial qualifications.
Democratic Gains III Alabama.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 5.-Further
returns received from Mondays cleo
ton in this state confirm the first re-
ports of a complete democratic victory,
with surprisingly large gains The
connt in the big counties has been
slow, especially in the cities, but Off
cial and estimated returns, the latter
based on reports received from a ma
iority Of the boxes in the counties re-
porting, show that Johnston and
the democrats have certainly car
ried Is out of &C. counties, Good
wyn, populist, has Is counties,
Six counties have not been heard from
or are too close to figure upon. Of the
last named Johnston probably has four
and Goodwin two. 1t is believed that
the full returns will show a majority
of not less than $4,000 for Johnston
and possibly $4,000 As compared to
the election in 1894 the democrats have
carried certainly 10 counties that gave
populist majorities two years ago.

A HEsITATINe ORATOR.
The Embarrassing Position of an English
Member.

The Embarrassing Position of an English
Member.
Whatever may be said of English and
American addresses with reference to
their matter, there is no doubt that the
BTiton is less ready and glib of speech
than the Yankee. A speech in the house
of commons is apt to be delivered with
many "ah's" and laws" and repeti-
tions; even famous ministers often
seem to drag out their remarks word
after word, with infinite labor.
Nevertheless, the speeches delivered
in parliament, as reported, shorn of all
msrticulate bridges over sloughs in
which the orator seemed hopelessly
stuck, read as well, to say the least, as
the speeches in the congress Of the
United States.
Even so great man as Lord Pal
merstOn, who was a statesman, but not
an orator, sometimes fell into the hesi-
tating methods. His great contem-
poTary, Lord Brougham, was a far
reader man. In a recent volume Of
"reminiscences, Mrs. S. E. De Morgan
relates that she was once at a meeting
in connection with the University col
lege, London, at which BrOugham and
Palmerston were both present.
Palmerston took the chair. He was
not so much at home in this learned
body as he would have been at West
Minister, and was evidently anxious to
adapt his remarks to the occasion. So
he began:
1T has been said that a little learn
ing is a dangerous thing-ahem!-is a
dangerous thing, but it is better than
better than"
Here bis lordship came to a dead
stop. The audience was impatient, and
the pause was distressing.
Lord Brougham sat next to Pal
merstOn. He was wanting in reverence
both for the occasion and for PalmeFs-
ton; and in low tone, but in his pene.
trating, squealzy voice, he came to the
speakers rescue.
Better than e great deal of ignOF-
ance," he suggested.
This of course brought down the
house; and during the laughter and
cheers that followed, Lord PalmerstOn
recovered the thread Of his discourse
and finished brilliantly-YOuth's Com
panion.

QUAY WILL HAVE CHARGE.

The Pennsylvania Politician to Manage Nc
Kinley's Interests in the South.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Senator Mat
thew Stanley Quay is to have charge
of the republican campaign in the
south. This has been decided on.
Mark Hanna will remain in the east to
hold 1t in line against the assaults of
the free silverites Being himself a
successful business man, he is most
fitted to deal with the great business
interests of the country, The forces
to be met in the south are of a char
acter not familiar to Mr.. Hanna, but
Senator Quay will be at ease with
them, and with this reason in view it
was thought wise to intrust the south
ern campaign to his care.

he declared for what the Chicago con-

is looking at himself through the spec

of the democratic optician. He will
rule the convention, and as the situa-
ton stands now there will be no fusion.
