THE SILVER QUESTION.

w. G. Robinson, the Republican
candidate for congress, against
Cooney, in the Seventh, Missouri, dis
trict, is telling on the stump a story
of his efforts to discover how much
interest there is in the question this
fall. He says he asked one of the
best Democratic friends he has got in
his district what was the prevailing
sentiment among the Democrats on
free silver. "Well," said this friend,
I'LL tell you, Robinson, how it looks
to some of us who were so wild for Is
to issue two years ago. There were
two fellows down in st. Clair county
who bantered each other for a horse
trade. One was Bill and the other
was John. Bill kept after John to
get trade. John knew Bills fail
ing. He had seen Bill try to back
down out of a dozen trades after they
were made. He said to him he
wouldn't trade with him, because he
knew he'd want to rue back Bill
insisted that he would stand by the
bargain. John declined again and
again. He told Bill:
l. kuOW III ISL u Any use, Dill. AL
ter you got the trade you'll discover
something and then you'll rue back
'Well, this only made Bill the more
| anxious. He took solemn pledge
that, no matter what he found out
afterward, he'd not rue back. So they
traded horses. After it was over. Bill
said to John:
'''Now, the thing is done, and there
isn't going to be any rueing back. tell
me what is the matter with the horse
I've got
"'No,' said John, 81 won't do it.
You'll rue back sure if do
| "Bill coaxed and coaxed. Finally
John said:
.'sBill, since you insist, I'll tell you.
There are two bad things about that
horse 1 traded you. One is that he l.
mighty hard to CATCH
's'Hor said Bill, that doesn't both
er me. I've got ten-rail double
stake and rider fence and six boys.
I'll catch him all right. What's the
other thing?'
"'Well, BILL said John, I'm al
most afraid to tell you, but the fact
is that when you've caught that horse
he amt worth a d-m.'
"And that" said Mr.. Robinson's
| friend, lis what some of us Democrats
are beginning to think about 16 to /
hard to catch, and when caught prob
ably not worth anything"
