PROOF OF PATRIOTISM.
Action Of Democrats Who Bolt the
Chicago Platform.
Henry C. Payne of Republican National
Committee Sizes Up the Silver Question
Says the Movement is q Revolution.

Henry G. Payne of Republican National
Committee Sizes Up the Silver Question
Says the Movement is Revolution.
Milwaukee, July 19.-Henry @. Payne,
Wisconsin's member Of the national Re-
publican committee, who is to have
charge of the Chicago headquarters, said
yesterday: 81 consider the silver move
mont to be nothing more than a reyolu-
tion. The country has experienced moth
ing like it since the wGr. and at the
opening of the war the agitation, gem
eral interest and deep feeling was not
more general.
''Au present there. are embraced in the
financial movement the leading men and
newspapers in all parts Of the country,
north, south, east, west. The fight OF
the silverites against their country will
be lost. AS fast as the froth OF the CHI
cago convention disappears. the clear
light of the truth will reveal to the peo-
pie the dangers of silver movement.
~ firmly believe when the polls close
the country will have given unprece-
dented condemnation Of the movement
led By TilIman and seconded by Altgeld.
"In q campaign sentiment is one
thing and political affiliation and opin-
ions are another. Pecuniary welfare is
still another The great cause OF deep
special interest in the forthcoming CAM
paign is that it affects directly and most
seriously the pocket books OF the people.
Where is the work ingmen IN this move
ment? Today he is paid with good mon
ey. How can he get his wages raised II
the people are not prosperous? II the
silver movement succeeds he will get
half in actual value what he now OBJ
tains Mexico is the best example of
the silver movement in effect l know of.
An American in that country can step
into restaurant eat his dinner, hand
the cashier q dollar of the United States
and get Mexican dollar back, besides
paying for his dinner. Yet the Mexican
dollar has more intrinsic or real value
than the dollar OF Uncle Sam.
ssThese facts show that silver money
is simply fiat money. Why should not
the silver miners rejoice TO have silver
win if it enables them to take so cents
worth of silver TO the mint, have Uncle
Sam ooln it at his own expense and hand
them back dollar. Under such advan-
tageous circumstances, why should not
the silver mine owners apply them
selves to making the silver craze rabid? ?
'But how about the fraud on the Anne
rican people? / think the independent
position taken by tho Democrats who
refuse to indorse the Chicago nominees is
proof of the highest kind of patriotism
and devotion to principles -

MONEY QUESTION THE ISSUE.
Tariff Secondary Matter in This Cam
paign Says Mr.. Payne.

:. Chicago, July 18.-Looking for suita-
BILE site to pitch tent, Henry @. Payne
of the Western Republican campaign
headquarters, TO be established in Chioa-
go next Monday, was in the city today,
AMI was asked if the enlightenment OF
the people OH the money question will be
one of the chief matters to be attended
to by the western headquarters
Undoubtedly, said Mr.. Payne. "The
people demand enlightenment, and for
the next 80 or 60 days, at any rate. they
will get plenty of light on the subject.
Not that the tariff is to be side-traoked.
The people are realizing that they have
made mistake when they departed
from protection lines, and they are satis-
fed that q return is essential to ma
tional prosperity. AT no time will the
tariff as an issue be ignored-no5 by any
means--but at the beginning of the cam
paign the money question will be dealt
with more elabOrately."

mitted to the Kennebeo bar In 1887.
He was Democrat until 1854, when
he abstained from voting that ticket, so
long as slavery continued to shape the
party issues. In 1866 the Republicans
elected him to the state senate, of which
he.was chosen president.
When Gov. Hanlin was elected to the
United States Senate, Mr.. Williams be-

he served in the legislature and was
the framer of the law refunding the
state debt. He WAS also elected to the
legislature as an independent In 1873.

Gold Reserve in No Immediate Danger.

Washington, July 1s.-The loss of only
1864, 900 in gold today by the New York
sub-treasury caused strengthening of
the confidence among the officials that
there is no Immediate danger OF raid OIL
the gold reserve. The net reserve now
stands at $93, 81, S45, and could probably
be maintained at this point until the end
of the autumn, if it were not affected by
political agitation. The heavy with
drawals at New York during the past
week were attributed in son measure to
the belief that new issue of bonds was
to be made Assistant Secretary Curtis
took occasion to discourage this opinion
during his stay in New York, and it is
now we'll understood that no bond issue
is contemplated at present. The gold

GERMANY AND PARIS EXPOSITION
Decision to Participate Commended by
German Papers.

One Thinks 1t Ensures Peace for Many
by Bismarck Organ.
Berlin, July 19. The acceptance of Ger
many of the invitation to be represented
at the Paris exhibition In 1900, issvarious-
ly commented upon by the Berlin and
provincial German press.
The Tageblatt in an article upon the
subject thinks it indicates the security
Of peace for many years to come and
the prospect Of an ultimate reconcile
alton of Germany and France. q
The Hamburg correspondent says that
although exhibitors are fatigued with
exhibitions, particularly after their ex-
perienoc at the Worlds fair in Chicago,
it is an act of political courtesy, and
would testify to the friendly disposition
of Germany toward France, il Germany
would take a large part in the exhibit
ion.
The Hamburger Nachriohten, in an
article written in a thoroughly Bismarck
vein, refuses to share in the view that
Germany's taking part-.in the exhibition
is necessary. German industries, The
paper says ought not to be advised to
take part in the exhibition unless their
own interests prompt them to do So.
Nobody the Naohrichten adds, "can
even remotely foretell what may happen
| to France before 1900. Germans ought
not to show disposition to cultivate
the French. 1t ID sentiment thrown away,
is received with soant courtesy and does
not abate the yehemence of their desire for
revanohe. 1t is best to trust to impress
ing France by tho strength of our army
and the growing numerical dominenoe
of the German people, who must keep
in mind the fact that France will not
hesitate to spring at their throats the
moment she thinks she has a chance to
win."

SElSATIOI EXPECTED
New Aspect Placed on the Venezuelan
Case
SINCE LAWYER STORROW WAS RE-
TANNED.

Brief Drawn Which Handles British Dip
lomats Without Gloves-Retort to Pol
locks Argument VIII Be Made In a
Day or Two.
Washington, July 9.-Something of a
| sensation in the Venezuelan dispute is
expected in q day OF two, possibly tomor-
row, when the Fetort to the Pollock Rrgu-
ments which prefaoed the British Blue
Book, is delivered to the commission and
made public simultaneously in this
country and England. Up to this time
the agents of the Caracas government
have contented themselves with putting
up evidence before the Venezulan COM
mission and pointing out numerous in
oonsistences and false deductions in the
British case. Since the distinguished
Boston lawyer, James J. Storrow has
been associated with Counsel Seragg In
Venezuela's behalf, the case has been
whipped into legal shape, and brief has
been prepared which is understood to
handle Lord Salisbury, Prof. Pollock
and other British lawyers and diplomats
without gloves. 1t is said that MI. Stor-
row has utterly demolished the vital
points Of the British contention and
turned Professor Pollock's favorite argu-
ment directly against Lord Salisbury $
pretensions.
In his few months connection with the
case, It's entire conduct has been changed
from one of defence to. that of the most
vigorous aQressiveneSs
1t is said that Mr.. Storrow was secured
as associate counsel at the suggestion OF
Secretary Olney, whose classmate he was
at the Harvard Law school. In addition
to being the chief legal adviser of the
Bell Telegraph company and other great
corporations, Mr.. Storrow has always
been deep student in International law
and foreign affairs.

not an unusual loss, but losses are usual
