Washing ton, Oct. Positive denials,
that plans are being prepared for a
standing army OF $4,000 or 100000 men
were made yesterday by Secretary Root
and Adjutant General Corbin. secre-
tary Root said that there was absolute
ly no basis for the stories that have
been recently printed In various pa
8pers to this effect.
The secretary Of war eaid 1t Is true
that plans for an army reorganization
bin are being made and that skeleton
OF the same has been framed. But
thus far there have not been any sug-
gestions In our plans as to the number
OF men,, said the secretary.
Gen. corbin said: I'VE have no idea
Of having a standing army Of either
$4,000 or 100000 men. We cannot &C
count for the circulation of these re-

SILVER Is THE MAIN ISSUE.
Pushed Forvvard " Republicans OF
McKtnley.s ADVICE

s
Washington, Oct. l6.-Free silver as
a menace to the financial security Of
the nation has become the battle cry of
the republicans in waging the CAM
paign during the closing three weeks.
Imperialism Is receiving scant atten-5
stion. while every availa BILE opportunity
is to be improved from now on to bring
squarely before the voters the fac that
the same peril which confronted the
country four years ago is present IN
this campaign as potent and immediate
as before. President Mckinley is per-
sonally responsible for this decision on
the part OF the republican managers
conducting the eastern end of the ma.
tional campaign. His advice has been
sought aR to what attitude the repuo-
|licans shall assume and what argu-
ments he regards as strongest during
the wind-up OF the contest, and his
answer is that the issue of free silver
or deprecated values is the most urg-
ent. In pursuance Of this advice the
Republicans will push forward the free
silver issue. while the Dingley tariff
llaw will be close second.
Members Of the cabinet and distin-
guished republicans who are engaged TO
arouse the conscience OF the voters to
4 dangers OF free silver have been in
structed to make that the leading issue.
j It Is well understood here that the only
uncertainty In regard to the outcome OF
the election is the gold democratic vote
and reports which have come in from
il the states where the gold democratle
contingent Is especially strong ags of 9
i hlgh,y encouraging nature. Polls Of tht
close districts in New York, Connecti
cut MARYLAND, West Virginia and othe
ea stern states show that the Palmer
i Ruckner following Of 1896 regard thu
substitution Of free silver for the pres
ent currency system as far greate
A evil than any contingency which ma.
arise from the administration expan
sion policy.
