Then you do not believe that the
party is practically unanimous in Its
demand for the reassertion Of the IL
to l plank Of the Chicago platform p
II see in the papers that such Is
the demand. but where Go they find
the proof of it? b@lieve it is not
so. 1 bel:e@e thereis large element
in the party today which accepts the
result of the vote in 1896 as conc!u-
sive on that question-that other
issues have arisen which should be
put forward as the chief articles Of
faith of the party.
Il was free coinage man net so
much for the sake Of silver as for the
sake Of a larger currency. It seems
to me unreasonable, certainly unwar-
ranted, to claim that the whole party

disions calling for that platform have
altered"

Jonas Had Hard Work.

When Mr.. Jonas Howard, an

personal benefits would come to
them through Mr.. Howard's power

wisdom. One of these rural ad-
herents, small farmer, with some
momentous political design on his
mind, followed Mr.. Howard to
Washington, in eager pursuance OF
that mysterious object. Hereturned
in about five days, seemingly not
much elated.
"Well, Bill" a town acquaintance
sa!uted him, "did you see Washing
ton and Mr.. Howard, and did you
get what you went aftel?"

replied grumpily, land I seen Jonas;

N. G. Butler Out for German.

He Thinks the Maryland Ex-senator
the Strongest Candidate and that
Silver is Secondary Issue.
The New York World says that
General and ex. United States Sena-
tor Matthew G. Butler, of South
Carolina, was in the city few days
ago. He gave to reporter some
interesting opinions on Democratic
national politics.
In his eighteen years in the Senate
General Butler was always classed
as free-silver man. He advised the
executive committee of the Demo
cratic silver conference of 1895 to
demand sthe admission of silver to
coinage with gold at 16 to l." At
the Chicago convention he said: 81
am free coinage man, but I have
become alarmed at The extreme radi-
calism CT the silver people"
General Butler was asked for his
opinion of the statement made by
Senator German, of Maryland, which
has attracted $such wide comment,
and he replied:
Il agree with Mr.. German in the
opinion that the 16 to l question
should not be made it's chief issue
by the Democratic party next year.
"The people Of this country have a
way of submitting and determining
national questions-that is, by fairly
presenting them in a Presidential
canvass and then taking a vote on
them. That process has been COM
piled with in the matter of silver,
and the 16 to l advocates were de-
feated. To my mind that is deter
mination Of the question.
':As to the assertion of the Repub-
lican press that Mr.. German is
stalking horse in this effort to induce
the Democratic national committee
to modify the silver plank in 1900,
you may quote me as saying that in
my judgment Mr.. German would
make tie strongest candidate tie
party could nominate for the Pcesi-
deney.
II say this from my knowledge OF
him gained from sixteen years SER
vice with him in the Senate. I have
not always agreed with him; We had
opposite views On the question of the
ratification of the treaty Of Paris;
