THE POSTAL CARD VOTE.
Chairman Jones Does Not Approve
Of the aRecord'sn Scheme.

Chicago. Oct. 12.-Chairman Jones of
the Democratic committee has given
out the following announcement:
In response to hundreds of inquiries
and protests received by mail and
otherwise regarding the postal ballot
scheme inaugurated and now being
carried out by a Chicago morning news
paper, Chairman Jones of the national
Democratic committee today made
statement to the effect that while he
had no reason to impugn the motives
or doubt the honesty Of those having
said ballot in charge, he was compelled
from what he had learned Of the
scheme. to believe that 1T is unfair to
the silver men, especially in Chicago,
and that the friends of silver every
where will be justified in ignoring the
request made by the paper in question
to send in their ballots. This belief on
the part of Chairman Jones is formed
from reports concerning conditions ex-
listing in Chicago, conditions under
which probably not more than one-half
of the believers in free silver especially
IN the inside wards of Chicago, viii
ever receive the postal cards sent to
them. This amounts, under this
scheme to the Acknowledgement of at
least so 900 voters who viii vote for

The crowd at the hall was one of the
largest of the season All the chairs
were occupied and people stood up
about the walls
Mr. TrOutman was in good voice and
he gave a clear statement of the mon
ey question beginning with a history
of coinage. He explained the st. Louis
platform and denied that he had had
to change his political views in order
to stand on the platform He was
cheered often.
