political party platforms is office.
That populist was close observer
Of men and things, and hit the
nail on the head. No politician
can better speak advisedly on this
point than the populist, for he is
the most energetic hustler for

and is now luxurlatlng in Paris, that It
might be well at this time to execute
the American prisoners tho Filipino
rebels are said to hold. We have no
doubt that the nnt-expanslonIsts would
find some excuse for the atrucity were
the recommendations Of the puslllani-

ponul,sts pssartinr silver.


conference report on the financial de-
bate the two Popullst leaders in that
body made some remarkable admls-
sions, which were virtual disavowals Of
their belief in free coinage Of silver.
This was brought about through the
persistent questioning of Senator Ald-
rich, OF Rhode Island. who directed his
poignant shafts Of inquiry to Senators
Allen, of Nebraska, and Butler, OF
South Carolina. These gentlemen are
the most responsible leaders of the par
~ that is credited as being auxiliary to
the Bryan Democracy In or out Of Con-
gress. Their admissions come, too, with
special force, following as they do on the
heels Of the split in the Popullst party,
one branch OF which, favorable TO
Bryan, having provided for a national
convention at Sioux Falls, South Dako-
ia, and another for a convention at
Cincinnati, which is opposed to Bryan
ism, and, we may conjecture. also
against the policy Of free coinage OF sill
yer. The two senator's referred to were
forced to make the revelation by the
persIstency Of the Rhode Island sena-
tor. It all arose from Senator Aliens
admission that depreciatlng metal
drives out dearer metal.
AS soon as he had made this adnais-
sion he saw his mistake and attempted
to pass on, but Mr.. Aldrich cornered
him and questioned him until he said
that II he had been wrong on any public
question no was always ready to i'd
nit 1t.
The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Times. an independent Dem
ocratlc journal, gives a racy account Of
the ,colloquy. "Mr. Allen" says the
correspondent, was getting away from
Mr.. Aldrlch. when Mr. Butler, attempt
ing to come to his rescue, made the adj
mission stronger than before, Mr.. AL
len saw the danger of the situation and
succeeded In changing the subject Mr..
Aldrich was not satisfied. He began to
suspect that there was more at the
bottom of 1t, and, taking the floor, he
irritated Mr.. Butler by insinuations un-
I'll that senator broke in and tried to ex-
plain.
Then Mr.. Aldrich turned on him and
asked him catagorically whether he and
the Popullsr party were still in favor of
the free coinage of silver. To the
amusement of the Republicans, Mr..
Butler attempted 10 evade the question.
Mr.. Aldrich pressed 1t home again and
again, until he finally extorted from Mr..
Butler an admission That free coinage
need not always be PopulIst plank.
Mr.. Butler is ordinarily man of even
temper and easy speech, but as he
houndered around in his attempts to
dodge the question he became excited
and nervous. His words came tumbling
over one another in torrent, his voice
rose to shrek, and he presented the
picture Of thoroughly alarmed man.
Mr.. Aldrich adroitly dragged Mr..
Bryan's name into the discussion, and
the amazement OF the Republicans was
complete when Mr.. Butler replied by
attempting to prove that Mr.. Bryan
was no fanatlc on the subject Of silver.
Al the conclusion Of the remarkable
debate the state Of mind of the Republic
cans was beyond description, and Mr..
Aldrich could only admit his utter u.s.
constituent at the revelation that had
been made"
