WEST VIRGINIA ALL. RIGHT
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Sootts'
Prediction About the State.
He Says 1t is in the Republican
Column to Stay-Legislature viii
Be Safe on Joint Ballot.

Commissioner Scott of the internal reve-
nue. bureau has returned from West Vir-
ginia. where he has been making speeches.
Mr.. Scott is one of the most prominent of
the republican candidates for United States
senator to succeed Senator Faulkner. He
is naturally interested in the results in that
state. To a Star reporter, who asked him
today about the outlook. he said:
The Outlook Good.
I'm regard to the outlook in West Vir-
ginia, l regard it as being very good. OF
course there is some little dissatisfaction
in Dayton's and Dovener's districts over
the distribution of patronage, but it is not
going to make any change in the general
result
THE second district, that is. Daytons,
perhaps is being contested by his opponent
Major McGraw, more vigorously than any
other, but have no doubt of Dayton's cleo
ton. In the first district Doyener will be
returned by fully as large a majority as
two years ago-four thousand. Freer, who
was nominated in the fourth district in the
place of Miller, will be elected. OF course,
this is a doubtful district, but he is very
popular, and especially SO with our colored
people. In the third there is no question
about Mr.. Edwards election to the place
now occupied by Mr.. Dorr, as that district
Is most assuredly republican.
Legislature Will lie Republican.
THE legislature will be republican on
joint ballot beyond a doubt, although eX-
Senator Davis and ex-senator Camden are
assisting their democratic friends In the
state. and making very vigorous fight
to get control of the legislature; but they
will be disappointed.
We hear a great deal about the apathy
of republicans in not going out to meetings,
but while that to some extent is true, il is
also true that the democrats are unable to
get a sufficient number of people together
to hold q meeting. The condition of the
country is good. The farmers are all sat
isfied. They are getting as much now al
most for a sheep pelt as they got for sheep
two years ago, and while they are not
showing much interest in the meetings, on
election day, l am satisfied, they will all
go up to vote, and you can put 1t down that
West Virginia is all right. She is in the
republican column to stay

Just Completed an Exploring Tour in
Alaska.

Major General Miles has received a tele-
gram from Lieut.. L. S. Kelly at Vancouver
barracks, Washington, saying that he has
just returned from trip through the un-
explored region Of Alaska as far as Tanana
river, and is now ready for other service.
This officer Is noted scout, having served
gallantly with Gen. Miles in most of his
Indian campaigns. Because of valuable
services rendered the army in that region
he is known as yellowstone Kelly" He
entered the wilds of Alaska early in the
spring and knew nothing of the war with
Spain until his return to civilization yester-
day. During his absence he was commits
stoned captain in one Of the immune regi-
ments, but owing to the fact that he was
beyond the reach OF communication the
commission was not issued. Now that he
has returned to the United States, however,
the original plan will be put into effect, and
he will be appointed a captain of one Of the
immune regiments destined for service in
Cuba.

Resigned War Portfolio.

PARIS, October 26-The Petit Journal to-
Gay published an interview with the for
ner minister of war, Gen. Chanoine, who
explained that he resigned on account of
the difference of opinion with the premier,
NJ. Brisson. about the Picquart affair. He
added that he had not demanded the prose-
cution of the papers which had been at
tacking the army, because he considered
that the penalties provided by the laws
ware insufficient.

PLATFORM.

The Silver Party of Nevada pledges it's I'M
waverng devotion 80 the principles of govern
ment laid down by jefferson and Lincoln
That the highest duty Of government il TO go
regulate its laws that the spirit Of equality
shall follow men through life. giving each amp
lest opportunity to work out to the fullest
measure his possibilities, unrestricted by Law.
and unaffected by the conquest Of his doinn-
ion of opportun ty by other men. We indorse.
as expressing the demands OF the American
people in consonance with the foregoing. the
platform of the National Silver party 70 mu-
lated at st. Louis, July % ls6, and the tinan-
sial plank of the National Democratic party
adopted at Chicago. July I, 1895.
The history of the movement for the resto a
ton of biinetallism is the glorious story Of Ne.
yada's leadership. The educational work 50
patriotically undertaken six years ago has
spread throughout the entire country. On the
issue that the value of money is quantitative
and not qualita i've, the intellectual and politi-
cal forces of nations are now battling. Mind
full of her glorious record Nevada will take her
place again in the conflict, not as the ally Of
Gold. but on the side of those who struggle III
the fields of adversely.
We reaffirm our devotion to the free and MI
limited coinage of silver at the ratio Of IL TO |
by the independent a. ton of the United States.
and we are una terably opposed to he Ecrub-
lican policy of increasing the bonded debt Of
transferring the sovereign power OF the gov
ernment to issue money TO banking ins.itu-
tions: of contracting the circulating medium
to tho single gold standard, and OF inereasl g
taxation while contraction il diminishing the
means Of payment.
Our faith i'll the loyalty, ability, and wise lead
ership of William j. Bryan is undimnished,
and we predict for the silver forces of the Uni
ted states with 10 TO as their motto and
William J. Bryan as their standard bca,o or. an
overwhelming victory in 1890.
We invite the cooperation of the Republican
party of Nevada who declared in their plat
form of May 20 IS 0, as follows:
RESOLVED. That the Republican PARTY OF
this state is IN favor of free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver: that it holds 10 this
principle tenet of party faith and test oi
party allegiance: that it will permit of nj
abandonment OF modification of this doctrine
that let whosoever prove recreant to the prin
ciple of bimetallism it will remain steadfasi
thereto"
And who on May o. 500, at Virginia City, de
clared as follows:
I'VE again reiterate our steadfast devotion
to the cause of the free and unlimited coiuag :,
of silver, and declare that in our Judgment th,
restoration OF the true bimetalnc standard o
value as it existed previous to 1873. namely. a
the ratio of 6to /. is an absolute and ii.dispeii
sable requirement before the financial system
/ OF our government will afford the people
value of stable circulating money sufficient b
place the business of the country perma
nently prosperous basis.
We indorse the action of Nevada's represen
