Cincinnati, October ~.
Mr.. George N. Irwin. Colorado
Springs, Colo.
Dear Sir: I am glad to answer the
question you asked by your letter OF
the 18th instant, just received, about
my position in the present campaign
while 1 disagree with Mr.. Bryan as
strongly as ever about many things,
the free coinage Of silver included, I
intend to vote for him, because, like
him and the democratic convention,
1 believe those things are not SO i'm
portant nor SO urgent as others on
which heartily agree with him.
Under our system, when a president
seeks reelection, the primary question
always is whether we approve or con-
denim what he has done. especially
when he means to keep on doing 1t. In
this instance I wish to condemn and
have no means OF doing SO except by
voting in the only way which can pos
sibly be effective.
THE attempt is made, as it always
Is. to prevent condemnation for what
the administration has done by fore
telling dreadful things that the oppo-
sition will do. But IL there be such

ure to establish a club in New York, and
Baltimore might hold out should Philadel-
phia not enter the Association. Without
two of the big cities in the East the chance
of success for the new organization, il is
feared, would be remote.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Feb. 2.-District
Chairman Leonard held a conference in this
city on Wednesday with the six county
chairmen of the district, all being present
as follows: c. c. Gilhams, of Lagrange;
George Wickwire of Steuben; Thomas
Reed, of Noble; N. T. Jackman, of De
Kalb; Jefferson Maine, of Whitley; and
Hugh Keegan of Allen. The affairs of the
district were canvassed, and April IL set
for the date of the convention, in Auburn
to select delegates to the national conven-
ton at Philadelphia, June 10. The plan Of
rotation gives the delegates this year to
Whitley and Lagrange counties, but as
John w. Baker is from Whitley and j. N
Babcock from Lagrange, both being can
didateS for lieutenant governor, each cOun-
ty Is willing to waive the privilege to the
other counties of the district in return for
support for their respective candidates. 1t
is believed, however, that since this would
not benefit either to much extent the rota-
ton will be observed as usual. 1t is said
that Baker and Babcock have arranged
for a conference to determine which shall
withdraw. If they do not come to terms,
so as to give either some chance, it is prob
able the district delegates, after reaching
Indianapolis at the state. convention. will
take a vote as to which the district will
support, the purpose being to unite on
candidate and bring the honor to this dis
trict, If possible.
No has yet been announced as
candidates either for delegate to national
convention or for presidential elector. 1t
is probable that the elector will be selected
at the Auburn convention.
