Gen. Daniel E. Sickles arrived on
one OF the early morning trains yeSter-
day and at once repaired to his rooms
IN the metropolitan hotel, where he has
opened temporary headquarters of the
veterans league. After the reception
at the Ryan last night, G 0 b re-
| porter interviewed the general at his
| apartments, and found him sitting in
! the midst of a lot Of campaign litera-
! ture. The general has come West to
| open branches of the Veterans league
IN Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas,
Illinois and other Western states and
| to observe the run of politics existing
! at the present time. When asked his
views on the money question, he said:
| Il agree with. the views expressed by
| Maj. Mckinley and Gen. Harrison,
Bourke Cochran and the leading sound
money Democrats ON that question. I
am unalterably opposed to the free
coinage of silver. I am for gold stand
ara, SUCH as we have always had in this
country. l am perfectly contented with
the present currency until we can i'm
prove it in a rational way. I am sub
| stantially in favor of the currency as
it exists today; gold, silver and paper,
| all on par"
| What effect will the silver craze have
! on the people by election timer was
asked.
me American people are not fools.
| They have sense and cannot be led
| astray. You, cannot set the East
against the West, or the West against
| the East, as Bryan is trying to do You
cannot set one class of the community
against the other class; the rich against
the poor, or the poor against the rich.
! The good sense of the people repels it.
II the Bryan people are short of money
to keep him going the Republican
committee could well afford to keep
| him going all over the country He
! disgusts more people every day than
he pleases. People go around to see
him, stare at him, but view him as a
mere curiosity just as they would a
calf with seven legs and three heads,
] or any other curiosity. 1 have not
been around enough to judge whether
the interest is subsiding. I do not think
| the interest is subsiding. That will
probably not subside until November,
| but sensible views are prevailing every
day, wider and wider. My particular
interest is not to go into all these politi-
cal questions. My interest is to bring
the soldiers together and to stand up
| for the interest of the flag against
! reputation, for law and order against
anarchy and riot Bryan breaches that
the government of the United States
must fold it's arms and let riot rule the
| day, stop commerce between the states
and defy the authority of the general
| government. consider that new
| rebellion as bad as the secession. The
boys in blue put the secession down
with bayonets, and they are trying to
put this down with ballots. There are
! 2,OOO,0 600 votes that / am after I want
| to marshal so per cent of them for sound
| money, national honor, law ond order
and l want them to vote for Mr.. Nc
! kinley, and l shall not stop until
see them all arrayed and organized
and my Roadway has thus far exceeded
| expectations, having had responses
from all parts of the United States,
from Texas to Maine, including a great
many places in the South from the
Confederates who assure me that they
are as loyal as we are, and they do not
| believe in Bryan at all. have brought
here 100000 documents to be distributed
among the soldiers. Regular soldier
| literature. l am not interfering in any
| way with the @. A. r.. but I am here

me regarding this particular matter
The object is to have an organization
in every state. The soldiers, their wild
oWs and orphans receive $14O, 100000 a.
year, from the government. l want
to see them paid in good honest dollars.
want to see those dollars buy as much
next year as this year. 1 want to

want to crush this thing so that there

as the Chicago platform.
Gen. Sickles is much pleased with
his first visit to st. Paul. He spent a
very busy day yesterday and did not
| get much time for sightseeing but
