My physi- cian has ordered for me a period of absolute rest, which I find it hard to find. I am going to Asheville short- Jefferson City and his tools in the house waltz as he dictates. The in- dications are there will be no election bill passed at the extra session, and the chances are slim for the transac- tion of other business, except the appropriation bill. Silver continues to occupy the first place in American politics and Harrison, McKinley, Reed et al con- tinue to saw wood and say nothing. The silver question is dangerous thing for presidential candidates to discuss at the present stage of the game for everyone of them is afraid to open his mouth, least like the Irishman, he may put his foot in it. —Sedalia Bazoo. Senator Vest favors a silver con- vention in this state and says it should be held about July Ist. If the state central committee refuse to make the call he then insists that the matter be taken up by the counties and the state convention be held regardless of the wishes of the com- mittee. The Globe Democrat cor respondent at Washington says Senator Vest is in that city and that his mail is larger than it was at the time of the inauguration of Presi dent Cleveland. The thousand of letters being receiyed by the sena- tor all favor that he take the lead for the silver movement in this state. He has a stenographer employed and all communications are being answered. The letters received trom his state greatly encourage the sen- ator in his fight for the white metal and he feels somewhat elated at being looked to as & Moses to lead the fight for silver in thie state. Gen. B. G. Boone, ef Clinton, ex. Attorney General and one of the best known and foremost lawyers of this State, arrived in Butler. Tues- day. He is here for the purpose of looking after the case of the State ve. L. B. Good, of which he is lead- ing counsel, preparatory to going to \the supreme court. The General 1s not only a leading lawyer of the State, but he is a sagacious poli- tician and in the organization of the democratic party of the State his ‘wise council and good judgment is always sought and consulted. He always takes an active part in cam- paignus and has few equals on the stump. Gen. Boone is not a politi- cian in the general acceptation of the term, but a firm believer in the true principles uf the democratic party as laid down by Jefferson, and is of the opinion that in matters of vital importance to the perpetuity of the party the masses and the leaders should act with due deliber ation and not in haste. The General is a firm believer in a united organi- zation, and in speaking of the silver question, now being so thoroughly discussed in almost eyery section of the country, said, “while I am in fayor of the free and unlimited coinrge of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and believe the matter should be thoroughly discussed and considered, yet, this is a big country and as there are differences of opinion in regard to the money question in the democratic party ly, where I will probably spend most of the summer.” “Have you been keeping up with the political discussions now going on in the newspapers?’ “Yes,” was the reply, ‘and to be frank at the outset, regret it. This is an off year; it is fully six months before the campaign of 186 can be intelligently entered upon, and if the discussion is continued, as now seems inevitable, it subjects us toa campaign which will cover nearly two years of political excitement. Personally, I would have preferred that all discussion should have been postponed until the coming winter, when, under the condition that will then exist, we could enter upon the race which will berun for the su premacy in this country.” “There should never,” said Mr Crisp with great show of earnestness “have been any doubt as to my posi- tion on any question I made a speech for free silver ten years ago, before anybody but politicians had considered it. I stand to what I then said, and I have never varied. When silver was demonetized in 1873 it was not in cirzulation, and consequently the question was not so close to the people as it is now. Nevertheless much agitation follow ed during the five succeeding years, resulting in the Bland-Allison act of 1878. Years of prosperity followed along with the increased coinage permitted under this act, the dis- cussion of silver fell back until 1890, when, in obedience to a demand for free coinage, the Sherman makeshift was resorted to, which, for a season, again quieted the people. Current ly the tariff war was waged, securing the first place and attention of the people. From the time of the tariff commission of 1880 down to a year ago, fourteen years, the cry for tariff reform had its varying fortunes, re- sulting at last ina revision which I believe will be so acceptable to the people that there will be no general movement upon it for years to come. The disposition of the tariff clears the way for the settlement of the silver question. That question said Mr. Crisp emphatically, ‘is now fully before us.” “Will it be the one issue before the people next year?” “It will,” said he, “and in sucha way that it must be settled directly, not by subterfuge or evasion, but openly, so that the people may un derstand it. It will not down. The fact that progress in silver rehabili- tation has been slow should not be discouraging. Thisis a big country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with probably 70,000,000 of the most civilized people inthe world. The basis of all law with us is the will of the people. When, after years of discussion and often contrary action, they made up their minds for tariff reform, there was no power on earth strong enough to resist it. The silver question is going through the course of public discussion. It is meeting with defeats aad victories just the same as characterized the tariff fight. Justas in that fight, the silver men will have their battle royal when the American people will award the victory.” “When do you think the question will be settled?” “The majority of American people in both politieal parties are in favor of restoration of free coinage of il- think it the part of wisdom that the party act cautiously in calling State conventions at this early day to commit the party to the single money issue in the campaign of '96 ” Marshall, Mo., April 26.—A man about 60 years old registered at the Campbell hotel yesterday afternoon as W. Quinn, Ills. He retired about 9 o'clock, requesting not to be called for breakfast, as he was tired. The landlord went to his room at 9 this morning and found him dead in bed. Near by were half dozen emptied landanum bottles and empty carbolic acid bottle. An inquest will be held to night. ver. They are aconservative people respecting all rights and moving slowly that they may vot disturb them. They may be repressed once in a while, but once they take up the question there will be no cessation until it is brought to a culmination. The American people are to day be- hind the free silver movement and they will push it on to success and have silver re-established to its old quality with geld. When the peo- ple take up a question, that party succeeds which has the foresight and the wisdom ——— itself the agency through which their de- sires can be aecomplished. This great financial question which has come to us side by side with the tariff question will be settled like- COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF FARMER’S BANK OF BATES COUNTY, Showirg condensed official statement as rendered Secretary of State, April 3rd, 1895.

In the next campaign the rehabilitation of silver will be the main and con- trolling issue upon which the dem- ocracy will appeal to the people. Party platforms should always be plain and direct. I do not believe in these planks which are so written as to catch voters going and coming. Parties should be honest to the peo- ple. Whatever room existed for different constructions of the plat- form of 1892 shoul d no longer exist, and for the purpose that to be adopted in 1896 should be so plain that even a school boy could under- stand it.” “This platform,” said Mr. Crisp, observantly, “should declare for free coinage of silver direct, and with a set of principles responding to the demands of the common people. We should select some good man from the west, some man with a mil- itary record, identified with the . | dominant sentiment that now con- trols the party and go forth with confidence to the victory which the people always giye those who are brave enough to fightfor it. The only fear I have is, not that the peo- ple are not in favor of free silver, bat that the free silver people, who are in the majority, may divide into factions running two or three candi- dates, in which event the election would be thrown into the house, where a republican would be elected. Such a contest as I have outlined would cause many people to make new party allignments. These dem- ocrats strongly wedded to the gold theory, and many republicans just as strongly wedded to free silver. | Of course, these men would have to choose between their old party and their convictions on the issue. The democrats of the east want gold, the republicans of the west want silver. The re allignments will be as in- teresting as they will be puzzling but to the lottery of politics the whole issue must be committed. Of course,” said Mr. Crisp, “there is a contingency in which the people might not be called upon to settle the question, that is the possible action of aninternational conference. That would be the best and easiest method of re establishing silver, and with less of the element of ¢xperi- ment init. If such a conference should be called and it took action restoring silver, so that the peopie would be satisfied, then we would have to find new issues for 1896. In the meantime, however, the people of the Usited States will be moving along to that result in their own constitutional way. The people want the free coinage of silyer, I am in favor of its free coinage, as I have always been, and the democratic voters will declare for it next year.” “There is some talk,” it was sug- gested, “that you may be the candi- date for the presidency next year.” “I see” said Mr. Crisp, smilingly, “that for want of a better subject many newspapers are printing edi- torials in that line. Not in the life- time of the generation now passing off the stage will a southern man be selected. The question of residence for a long time to come will be the controlling one, and no man who was ever in the confederate army can aspire to thatoffice. We should get our next candidate from the west. The talk of Mr. Cleveland for a third term, under any conditions, has no basis. The people will not make that break in the record. His views on the financial question are not shared by the people, and the conditions will be in many other ways different from wt at they were in 1892” “Yes,” said Mr. Crisp, in answer to a question, “I have read Secretary Morton’s letter, in which he declares himself for the gold standard. But have you not noticed that President Cleveland disclaims responsibility for the utterances of his secretary?” Then he added: “If Secretary Mor- ton had written a letter favoring the free coinage of silver, Mr. Cleveland would prebably have dismissed him from his cabinet, instead of merely dieclaiming his act.” Also condition same day one year ago April 3. 1895. $120,717.69.

SILVER THE SHIBBOLETH, The hnows Democracy Will Declare for the White Metal. Hl Chicago, Ill, April 27.—The most sensational political development for | many a day in Chicago, if uot in the entire West, was made public this afternoon. ‘lhe coming Democratic State convention in Illinois will, be- yond all doubt,declare for free silver without international agreement of | any kind, and the movement is of such strength that other Western and Southern States will be prevent- ed with great ditticuJty, if at all, from following the lead of Illinois. Asa party the Democracy of Illi- nois is doomed to disorganization. The authority for these statements is Hon. John Mayo Palmer, corpora- | tion counsel of Chicago, and one of | the best known Democrats in this State. He is nota free silver man On the contrary be bas a reputation with the more pronounced silver element as a decided “gold bug.” Mr. Palmer is the son of United | States Senator Palmer, who has been | leading the money fight for the national administration in Tlinois. These statements were made in an interview this afternoon, and the} news has caused wide spread com-) ment aud speculation. Mr Palmer) returned to Chicago to-day from the State capital. He said: “The sentiment in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without inter- national conference or agreement, seems to have taken complete pos-' session of the Democracy of Illinois | outside of Cook county.

We, who op- pose that view, although there 1s difference of opinion among us, will, as arule, take no part in the con- vention, although in some counties delegations will be sent composed | of leading men representing both | views, wholly irrespective of the sentiment in that particular locality. “There has been a great deal of unnecessary personal irritation and controversy over this subject, which is much to be deplored. There will be a good deal of talk about ‘read- ing men out of the party.’ The im- mediate effect of the expected de- claration - will be to disorganize the Democratic party in this State, if | such a thing is possible. The ulti- | mate effect, should the currency | question be the prominent one of 1596, will the reorganization of both | parties on new lies. | “Those who, like myself, may be | conservatives, bave a taint | hope that we may be able to induce the June convention to declare that | it is inexpedient to draw party lines | upon the silver question by a State | convention, but I confess I have no | very great confidence that we will be able to secure this.
