burdened with letters in the interest OF the
several candidates. The senatorial contest
has been sharp and warm one. The gov

ferring to the differences Of opinion which
have developed among democrats in the dis
cussion of the present bill, he said that he
is strictly in accord with democratic dec

is in favor of tariff for revenue only. The
senator preferred not to express an opinion
regarding Cuba, believing that the question
would not again demand the attention OF

strictly in line with the Chicago platform.

GhMmRe Gold uud Silver Rnlia

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Qulte a number
OF statesmen were asked what would be the
effect of the Alaskan gold discoveries on the
silver question, Most OF them were inclined
to the belief that the possible production OF
the new gold country has been greatly ex-
aggerated for the benefit OF transportation
companies and local supply companies.
Senator Allison, when asked about the situa-
tlon, said "If the product OF gold In Alaska
is really enormous 1t would of course tend
to approximate the value of gold and silver.
but the yield would have to be unprecedented
to have much effect, for our supply OF gold is
very large YOU must remember." u
