Democratic newspapers are busy
denying that the 16 to 1 silver
question is dead. It is hard to
determine when any issue is dead
The Democratic papers must dis
cuss tree silver until their party
takes up some new scheme. But
the mass of voters take but little
interest in the silver question now.
Of course the bulk of the party
will follow the leaders whether
free silver or free trade or any
other proposition is advocated.
That is natural. Free silver does
not, however, excite the interest
that it used to. Democratic pa.
pers and candidates must do the
best they can to attract support to
their party, but the fact remains
that the voters take little interest
in considering the free silver
arguments this year. .-

letter written to- friends here spoke
Of having seen Mr.. Perry. and that
the latter had not succeeded In find
ing any gold claim, and that he
would either return Or take con-
tract to get out cord wood for
steamboat company.
The Telegram did not whether
he died in Alaska or ON his way
back. 1t is possible that he returned
to Sacramento. The family are ut
the opinion that he was killed, for
he was a very healthy man and used
to hardships, and as he stated in his
last letter that he was in excellent
health his relatives here do not be-
lieve that he succumbed to disease
or the effects OF the trip. Mrs. PER-;
expects q letter not later than Mon

though written before Mr.. Perry's
death, explains the cause. He reached
Rockland On Aug 8 on his return
from the KlOndike. He was suffer-
ing from fever for three weeks before
his arrival at Rockland. and death
was no doubt due to the fever al.
though at the time the letter was
written his ailment was not con-
sidered dangerous.
