Hettie-The idea! How absurd!

whether Hattie meant it was absurd

they are pushing me along in pretty
good shape. I guess it is fortunate for
President Mckinley that the national
convention has already been held.
Senator Platt smiled indulgentiy and
then inquired: What are your views on
current political questions, Mr.. Van
derbilt?"
'T have not exactly made up my
mind yet" was the answer, but If you
win just wait a moment I will ask
Senator -Depew; he ought to know"
There was bit more similar per
sifiage INDUCED in by the old and the
new man in politics, all of which seem
ed to please Senator Platt greatly. He
is not given rashlyrto taking up young
men, even though they are possessed
of great fortunes, but after his arrival
in this city Senator Plat remarked to
one of his friends: Young Vanderbilt
has good stuff in him. He will make a
success in life alopS whatever line he
travels, and would do so. even though
thrown upon his own resources
Alexander T. Mason, the Republican
leader of the Twenty ninth district,
when asked concerning the proba bility
of Mr.. Vanderbilt's nomination for the
assembly said: II have heard him
spoken of in favorable terms, He seems
to be well liked in the district, partic-
ularly by the young men, However,
no one can tell who will be the nominee
until the Republican voters take action.
The convention will be held in two

City convention, contains this declara-
ton:
We reaffirm and endorse the princi-
pies of the national Democratic plat
form adopted at Chicago in 1896. and
we reiterate the demand of that plat
form for an American financial sys-
tenn made by the American people for
themselves. which shall restore and re-
tain bimetallic price level; and. as
part OF such system, the immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold. at the pres
ent legal ratio of Is to /, without wait
ing for the aid or consent OF any other
nation
The effect of passing an act of con-
Sress TO carry out this declaration
would be, practically. to substitute for
the present gold dollar as the standard
of monetary value, a silver dollar worth
only AZ cents in gold. This the wiser
members of the convention saw, and
they saw. moreover, that the conse-
quences of such an enactment would
be disastrous to the Democratic party,
as it would be to the country. They,
accordingly, opposed with all their
might the adoption of the declaration
and would have prevented it, had not
Mr.. Bryan. whose friends were in the
majority, insisted upon it, and by the
announcement that otherwise he would
refuse the presidential nomination, sue
ceeded in carrying it through.
COMMITTED TO FREE SILVER.
Mr.. Bryan is. therefore. by his action
at kansas City, as well as by the nu-
merous speeches he made in the presi-
Dental campaign of 1885, committed to
the promotion of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
and to the use of all his power as presi-
dent, should he be elected, to procure
the enactment by congress of a law to
that effect. That he would do this is
as sure as anything can be. The same
masterful spirit that made him risk the
loss of his nomination rather than seem
to have abandoned a measure which he
advocated so earnestly in 1896, is a
guarantee that ne would be no less
reckless in promoting it after he had
obtained the power and the patronage
of the presidency.
Notwithstanding this plain declara-
ton of the intention both of the Demo-
cratic party as an organization and of
its presidential candidate personally.

eFIFP POTTER'S ENGAGEMENT
Chicago American.)

The engagement of Fiji Potter, the
charming daughter of Mrs. James
Brown Potter, has just been announced
at their summer home in Tuxedo. the
home which Fits celebrated mama de-
serted years ago.
The young man who has won her is
i'mmie Stillman, the son of that
dmes Stillman who is president of
The National City bank of New York,
the powerful institution that has more
money in its vaults than all the banks
of Boston, ST. Louis and Cleveland
combined; that has unlimited power to
sway the money market; that has $40
OO0,O00 reserve and $117, 600 deposits
From her mother and her mothers
mother, who was in her day the belle
of New Orleans, she inherits her beau
ty. She has her mothers hazel eyes,
her chestnut hair and the dazzling skin
that set her among the top notch of
GristOcratic beauties when she ap-
peared at the Patriar0hs ball nigh
upon twenty years ago.
Jimmie Stillman's father, besides be-
ing president of the National City bank
and a member of the old firm of Wood
ward q Stillman, is a director of the
United States Trust company, the New
York Security and Trust company, the
Hanover National bank, the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western railroad, the
Consolidated Gas company and the
Queen Insurance company.
One of James Stillnan's daughters Is
engaged to be married to Percy Avery
Rockefeller, son of the Oil trusts pres
ident. and another is already the wife
of William y. Rockefeller.
Miss Potter's prospective husband IS
an athlete in every sense of the word
He is a crack golf player and an en-
thusidstic polo expert. As yachts
man he is almost as noted as his father,
1ir--Nr a. nfa 1,ne- n q a
tation for herself in the racing world.
It was but natural that such man
should captivate Miss Potter, who is
essentially an outdoor girl, ready for
any sport from shooting to riding She
can shoot gun and score at the traps
in Q way to win the respect even OF q
sportsman not in love with her
But the sport Fiji Potter loves best
of all may be said to be horseback rid
ing. This accomplishment she prob
ably inherits from her fathers family;
his uncle, the bishop. may be seen any
morning riding in Central park When
the rest of the world is sleeping.
Miss Potter is buying her trousseau
In ii there are some wonderful gowns,
a creation in white for the wedding, of
course, and several that are peculiarly
conspicuous because they have about
them a dash of red.
Red is the young womanS faVorlte
color and she is at her best when she
has some of it right up against her
glowing cheeks.
Her wedding will be in the early fall
at Tuxedo.

The principal and interest of all the

the per cents issued under the cur

"coin," because in 1870 when the act
authorizing the issue of most of them
was passed the only coin known was
gold coin, and it was thought unneces-

anticipate what the money power
will try to do, to carry out their deep
laid plan, but we beg to tell the
people not to worry; that If they

simply be the beginning of a trans

history of this Republic when the
skies were infinitely darker than they
are now, and yet that hour was just

These things being so it is easy TO
see how a silverite president, like MT
BRYAN. could do mischief. The treas

the country. and our finances rest
quietly upon the confident beiie1 ehae
the government will maintain gold pay

So long as the Republican party re-
mains in power the belief will not De

of affairs would change He would ap-
noint as secretary OF the treasury

would. as the first thing, offer 10 pay
the interest on the public debt IN s1-
yer dollars. and when government notes
we're presented at the treasury for re-
dennntion. he would offer for them only
the same coin. This would amount 20
a susDension of gold payments by the
government and would put the country
back to where it was before resuiAp-
ton in 1879. 81
