Hon. NJ A. Hanna, Cleveland, Ohio:
Dear Sir:-The announcement is
made in the public press that you will
not debate with me on the money
question involved in the proposed
changes in our currency system
But, although disinclined to publicly
debate these questions, you certainly
must have formed decided opinions up-
on these matters which so vitality con-
Germ the public welfare as a radical
change in our money system; and,
holding the high position you do in
the councils of your party, and being
the designated candidate of your party
in this State for United States Senator.
the people have right to know. and
ought to know, where you stand on
questions of such grave Importance.
Il, therefore, take the liberty to
PROFOUND to you, in the public interest,
the following questions:
l. Are you in favor of establishing

gle gold standard in the United States?
SO. If so, are you in favor, as a
means of keeping silver coin at par
with gold, of redeeming silver certif-
Gates and silver dollars in gold coin.
when demanded?
SO. Are you in favor of redeeming in
gold and cancelling the United States
legal tender currency, known as green
backs, and the notes issued under the
act Of 1890?
a. If SO, would you favor issuing
longtime gold bonds to procure the
gold required for this purpose?
80. Are you in favor of turning over
to the banks the right to issue all the
paper money, including the right as fast
as United States legal tender currency
is retired, to substitute therefore their
own non-legal tender promises to pay?
These questions are all directly in
volved in the currency scheme recon-
amended by the Indianapolis Conven-
ton, which has virtually received the
sanction of the President, and is under

Their importance at this time, there

charleston, w. Va. October 1S-The
recent visit to this city of Congress-
inan =. P. Dorr seems to have stirred
up something like a hornets nest
dinong the local Republicans because of
the announcement made by Mr.. Dorr
enat ne would recommend o. A. Petty
ior the postmastership. The friends of
Henry Dilcher are furiously angry be-
cause of Mr.. DORIS seeming perfidy to
Dllcher. They recite that just before
the Congressional convention last year,
MI. Dorr made a flying trip to Charles
Ton and while here learned that the
hog Combine had bilked Dilcher out

Grating him upon the shameless treat
ment he had received from the Hog
Comblne, offered to recommend him
Tor the Charleston pOstoHfce, provided
ne succeeded in securing the nomina-
ton for Congress and was elected. By
this generous offer Dorr secured the
friendship and support of Dilcher and
his friends They went to the conven-
ton, took off their coats and fought
Tor Dorr like Trojans, and finally secur-
ed his nomination The election came

pilcher has been waiting patiently to

Of DORIS recommendation of Mr.. Dill
cher has been delayed. However, Mr..
Dilcher placed his trust in Dorr and
believed he would eventually redeem
his promise. Consequently when it
was given out that Mr.. Petty was to
receive DORIS recommendation for the
postmastership the Dilcher men were
eloquent in profanity. The Congress
man succeeded in getting out of town
before he was lynched. The Dilcher
men quickly gCS together to map out a
course of action. They decided to in
woke the aid of Senator Elkins, to pre-
vent the catastrophe of the postoffice
going into the hands of the Hog Com
bine. A petition asking Mr.. Elkins to
interfere and secure the appointment
for Mr. Dilcher was circulated and a
large number of signatures were OBJ
tanned The petition was forwarded to
Senator Elkins to-day. In the mean
time the Dilcher men are hustling for
Influence" and are going out into the
highways and the hedges importuning
their friends to come to the rescue.
Major John Moulton, a prominent
lumber man, who lives out in the
country some distance, is also after the
postoffice and has invited Senator Elk
ms to look after the matter for him.
It is said, however, that Major Moul-
ton has no show for the postoffice
A prominent Republican remarked
to-day that if Dilcher did not get the
postoffice there would be large quaint
ity of sheol raised about here, and he
proceeded to discuss the Hog Combine
in very undiplomatic language.
