The veteran Illinois legislator, Jehu
Baker, voted for Railey in the organiza-
tion of the House. He desires the fullest
cooperation, he says, between the differ
ent silver elements OF the House. He
was nominated as a Populist, and says
he belongs to that political organization.
Baker has had Il remarkable career. He
was a Republican until few years ago
and has several times been member OF
Congress. He was elected Just after
the war from the famous Morrison dis
trict, both times defeating the present
president OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. After being out of Congress
for twenty years he was again nominated
by the Republicans against Morrison, in
1886 and by defeating the famous tariff
reforner he closed that gentleman career
in Congress. Now once more, ten years
later, he comes to Congress as the rep
resentative OF the converted silver Re-
puhIicans. He, as before stated intends
TO cooperate. with the Peoples party
in Congress. The old gentleman is Stiil
vigorous. not twithstanding the weight OF
his sey enty-fiYe years, and has one or

Jones says that he was nominated as u
Silver Republican and elected by the

supported him with equal ardor. He said:
MY friend Hartman, OF Montana, wanted

the silver Republicans might show their

Mr. Hartman, of whom think great deal
