the state house for several days this week.
He has a claim against the old Central

obligations 1t assumed relative thereto.

With only 10 more working days left be-
fore the time for final adjournment the
legislature still has work enough for twice
that length of time, though it is true that
the condition of affairs is more favorable
for a sensible and respectable finish than
lie usually the case,
OF about 450 bills introduced in the
house nearly 200 are still with committees,
and these consider many Of the important
measures. Several of these, however, are
nearly ready to be reported and the COM
mittee work relative to them is practically
completed. In the senate not quite $50
bills have been introduced and about a
third are yet to be reported.
Mr.. POrter's valued policy bill which
has attracted considerable attention was
reported favOrably in the house this after
noon and ordered to lie and be made a
special order for tomorrow at $3.50. There
is strong opposition TO the bill and 1t also
has strong friends. The contest will be
close and no reasonable prediction can be
made as to the outcome.
Along with the valued policy bill In in
terest is the bill to create a single-headed
insurance department which was given a
public hearing in the senate chamber this
evening. This bill would stand a better
show of final success If 1t were not for the
suspicion that 1t is merely scheme to create
a place for Hon. O. NJ. Brownell, ex-secre-
tary of state. Neither of the present in

THE GOLD
: ID DEMOCRAT
Uncertainty How He Viii
Vote For Congressman
INABILITY TO ESTIMATE
The Strength OF This Class In the
Coming EleCtion.-The Argu-
ment To Be Used.

AZ the fight for control of the house
OF representatives progresses, an inter-
esting question arises in the probable
attitude of the gold democrats. The
republican managers are anxious to
know if gold democrats who voted for
republican representatives. e0g in congress
IN 1896 and 1898, on account OF the I'm
ancial question, will pursue the same
course this fall.
1t Is known that the democrats are
setting great store on the probable re-
turn to the fold of this class of their
dissffected brethren. To this end the
democratic managers are encouraging
the nomination in close congressional
districts of conservative candidates for
Congress. 1t is intimated that too close
scrutiny is not being made into the
past political record of candidates. The
leaders will overlook certain little po-
htical heresies of the past II candidates
show an inclination now to support the
regular democratic ticket. With such
men on the ticket they hope to bring in
the seceders of former years.
The repu blicsns are uneasy upon
this score They have already discov
wellkuown gold democrats, men who
voted against Bryan in 1896, to sup
port the democratic candidates for
congress In November. They proceed
upon the theory, 1t Ia said, that NO
great financial issues are actually at
take in this election, and that the
present is good time for them to get
back into their party, regain their lost
affiliations without at the same time
doing actual violence, in practice, at
least, to their financial opinions.
Efforts to Offset this tendency are
being made by the republican man
ayers, although with that result is still
problematica In the close districts
the gold democrats are being sssidu-
ously courted by their republican
friends, and special efforts directed
toward them by the campaign man.
ayers. Personal appeals will be made
later, and the gold democrats will be
men OF consequence in this campaign.
They are entreated not to mar the
good effects o: the aid which the;
render the sound money ticket In
1896 and 1898. It Is pointed out to
them that the work espoused by the
republican party and which they en-
dorsed and helped along by their votes
is not finished with the enactment of
the gold standard law.
Currency and banking legislation
yet 10 be adopted Is part OF the finan-
cisl policy, they sav, which was entered
upon by the republican party with the
aid of the gold democrats. Having

party on all but financial questions.
The gold democrat the republicans
want is the voter who will help send q
republican representative to congress,
and he will do the rest.
The republicans are encouraged, it Ia
said, by the fact that the gold demo-
crate W no voted the republican ticket
are men of high order of intelligence,
and therefore accessible to argument
on the lines which are being used. The
republican managers entertain GER
tain degree of confidence in their
ability to demonstrate to this class the
sbility of repeating their vote of
two and four years ago, rather than
taking advantage of the opportunity to
regain their footing in the old party at
what may seem to them small cost, but
which, in reality, it is claimed, would
prove to be dear price to the coun-
try's Observation-Disclosures Star.

put their hands to the pillow, the sound
money democrats are be sought not to
leave before the furrow Returned. The
election OF democratic House of Re-
presntstives. 1t Is claimed, would retard
the work of currency reform Indefinite
ly, and might be the beginning of q
movement which would unsettle busi-
ness conditions and undo the good al
ready accomplished.
Several districts In New York, one
or two in Pennsylvania. q number In
Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan
may be affected by the vote of the
gold democrats. Indeed, 1t is possible,
it is said, that the balance of power in
the election of Q House Of Represen-
tatives may rest in the hands of this
faction, and therefore too much i'm
portauce cannot be placed upon the
course they are likely to follow.
The actual gold democratic vote of
the country is hard to estimate. 1t is
by no means represented In the
sire nRth given to Palmer and Buckner
in 1896. AS q matter of fact, that 10
probably but small proportion of the
whole, standing for the men who could
not bring themselves to vote for .
The effective gold demo-
cratic vote went for Mckinley and for
republican representatives in Congress
and is not easily segregated.
The latter class are the men the re-
publicans are after now. The other
fellows served q purpose in refrainine
from voting the regular democratic
ticket, weakening it to that extent, but
the really valuable men were those
who realized the perils of the situation
and voted the straightout repu blican,
sound money ticket.
A gold democratic representative is
not of much use to the republicans
after he gets into congress. His couree
Is uncertain: he may be whipped into
a party caucus, and in most cases will
vote with the regular democratic
