BATTLEOF THE STANDARDS
The Adoption OF the Gage and Mckinley
Plan Would Result In Great
Monetary Contraction Sill
yer Republicans Meet.

Chicago, Nov. Ex-senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota and ex-Congressman
Towne of Minnesota, members Of the ma
tional executive committee Of the silver
republican party, are in Chicago. A con-
ference of the executive committee OF the
party will be held here Tuesday. at which
plans for the coming presidential cam
paign will be discussed.
Alliance with the democratic party in
most topic of discussion. Mr.. Towne, in
discussing the political situation, said:
IF congress this winter. in response to
the demand of the president, destroys the
bond paying value of silver, calls In silver
certificates and reissues paying certifi-
Gates the silver question will be a lead
ing issue in the next presidential cam
paign. Such action on the part Of con-
gress would furnish an entirely different
proposition from that which confronted
the people in the last campaign. The re-
publican party won because of the fear
of the ratio of 16 to l. The adoption of
the Gage and Mckinley financial plan by
congress would mean the contraction Of
| the currency of the country and the poo
| pie would be confronted with fact, not
| a theory, in the battle of standards. The
| silver question is not dead in American
| political affairs"
The members OF the executive commit
! tee are: G. A. Towne. Minnesota: eX-
United States Senator Fred Duboise, Ida
no; ex-Congressman C. s. Hartman.
Montana: F. J. Voorhees, Indiana; Ben
S. Dean, New York; A. M. Stevenson.

| necticut.
Among the other leaders expected to
take part in the discussion are Senators
Teller of Colorado. Petsigrew of South

THE KENTUCKY CONTEST.
Some Action by Goebel Expected Early
in the Week.

Some Action by Goebel Expected Early
in the Week.
Frankfort, Ky, Nov. ga quiet
Sunday brought lull in the political
situation to all outward appearances.
There were no significant Developments
from Goebel headquarters. though Mr..
Goebel and his managers remained In
conference during the day. There Is
a general impression outside that some
move is to be made by Goebel early
this week and it Is generally suppos-
ed that mandatory injunction suit to
prevent the state election board from
counting the vote of Jefferson, Knox
and Johnson counties will be part of 1t.
though this Is not confirmed by any
one in authority 1t is doubtful If
Governor Bradley would recognize
Goebel as governor if he were given
a certificate of election by the state
election board unless their action was
in obedience to ruling of the court.
In that event it is believed he would
resist no further, but would advise
Taylor to contest before the legisla-
ture. Neither Bradley, Taylor nor any
of the republican leaders, however,
believe that the court of appeals, in the
face of it's decision in the Nelson coun-
ty case yesterday. will grant an in
junction, and are to-day more confident
than ever that the state election board
will give Taylor a certificate of cleo
ton. In Taylor circles 1t Is claimed
that two of three state commissioners,
Ellis and Pryor, are sure to vote to
stand by the vote in every county as
it appears on the face Of the returns.

iy All OF the Spaniards Want
Annexation.

Havana, Nov. 26.-Tive thousand
people attended the meeting of the
delegates of the Cuban league and
national party to-day. 1t was expect
ed that the questions OF the civil gov
eminent and the appointment OF the
new bishop of Havana would be dis
cussed. AS it turned out these mat
tiers were only lightly touched upon.
! Senior Borges, who was one of the
principal speakers, said:
''The Americans have helped the Gu
bans in their time of need, but it is
yet to be shown that they are as gen.
erous as at first they seemed. There
have been Cubans who died in the
hope of securing independence, and
there are Cubans who are ready to I'M
itate their example"
Senior Gonzales said:
"Cubans must not break the law by
appealing to arms to settle this ques-
course they would merely crafty those
who wish to show the world that Gu
bans cannot respect law.
Senior IaZas said:
1--WE Cubans watch over independ-
ence like parents over sick child. IT
is natural that we should not forget
our many sleepless nights. There is
naught for US to do but finish our
work and to secure independence"
From every part of the island COM
munications are received by the local
papers protesting against civil gov
ernment. Almost without exception
every paper published in Spanish has
objected. The majority condemns the
project utterly The minority think
that any change to be made should
be by way of reducing the number OF
American troops i'll the island.
