while there talked to a Times reporter,
Asked as to his opinion of the conduct
of the silver delegates at Chicago, Mr..
duBignon said:
AS the silver men are entirely in con-
troll, hope they will carry everything
with a high hand. The more extreme
the free coinage men are the better it
will be for us in the end It is a des-
perate disease and needs desperat Q
remedy The silver men begin by over
riding all traditions and precedents.
They should be permitted to hasten vio-
lently to violent end.
If they put up Mr.. Bland for presi-
dent it will be merely a sacrifice of the
old silver standard bearer. He is
not man that the people of this coun-
try can respect, except for his blind con
sistency. Mr.. Teller is far different
man, and would prove the most power
full and dangerous candidate they could
elect. But do not fear their success
with any candidate. They will carry
the majority of southern and great
many western states, and possibly all
the pacific states, but their national tick
