Washington, Sept. 11.—Senator Roger Q. Mills of Texas is one of latest converts to the anti-free coin- age cause. Ina communication to the chairman of the Democratic state committee of Texas he comes out squarely and vigorously against the ratio of 16 to 1 by the United States independently of the other commercial nations of the world. He contends that in taking this stand he is following the example and teachings of the fathers of the Democratic party and of its greatest leaders in recent years. In the course of his letter, Mr. Mills says that he advocated free silver coinage as long ashe could see a prospect of keeping both in circulation, but the continued fall in silver and the abandoment of it by other nations forbade hope of con- tinued silver circulation. No one nation could hope to succeed against the world. He continues: “The ad- vocacy of unlimited coinage at 16 to lis based chiefly upon the argu- ment that increased coinage of sil- ver will increase the prices of all commodities. That would be true his abuse to Simrall’s friends, but he appeared in a card this morning iv which he referred to Simrall in a manner that exasperated many of the latter’s followers. To further add to the favorable conditions for trouble, many of the saloons kept open, which is contrary to the Ken- tucky election laws. As a result there was an unusual amount of drunkenness and the fighting began earlier in the day. Personal en- counters took place at nearly half the voting precincts, but although many weapons were drawn, none were used. The worst fight before nightfall was in the county clerk’s office. A lot of hoodlums tried to make their way into that office while the count was going on, and the deputy clerks had to knock several of them down. At 7:30 o'clock tonight on Lime- stone street, near main, George Darnell a strong Simrall man, yelled lustily for Simrall, the latter having been declared the winner of to-day’s primary by 12 votes. His yelling considerable quarrelling they went of the increased coinage of all other! toward Md Graves’ saloon, shortly countries kept pace with ours. But increasing the volume of our money will not increase the prices in other countries whose volume we increase. The proposition is not to be disput- ed that the increase of currency, all other things being equal, raises prices ,wherever the money circu. lates. But prices are not affected intany country where the money does not circulate. The opening of our mints to the unlimted coinage of silyer will increase prices in the United States, but not in Europe. As the prices of commodities rise here, the value of the dollar falls here, in precisely the same propor- tion. ‘Ihe price of the gold dollar which is the common measure of val- ue, remaining the same in Europe, it would go to Europe, because it would buy more commodities than here.” Mr. Mills giyes the history of past movements of the kind and de- clares that all failedj signally. He quotes from the views of Democratic leaders in the past and gives many facts and figures, closing as follows: “In the discussion of the financial question we should examine it in all its features. We should settle the bond and banking question. They are all parts of the same system and in the settlement of one we should settle all. For myself,I favor the payment of the publicly debt as rapidly as possible, and I am wholly opposed to borrowing money by the sale of interest bearing bonds in time of peace. Non-interest bearing Treasury notes may be issued to tide over temporary defisiencies in the revenue, and they may be called in and cancelled as soon as the Treasury should be relieved by the incoming revenues. Gold, silver and Treasury notes,in my judgment constitute a perfect monetary circu- lation, and I am opposed to any leg islation that will supplant them.

Graves and his two companions followed him in and a boy named Will Perkins, who lives on Pemberton avenue, says he saw Graves shoot him in the back. A gentleman standing near the door of the barber shop saw Graves, Mac- Kenua and Nugent rush in and saw Graves run out with a smoking pis- tol in his hand, which quickly trans- terred tohis hip pocket and ran man. saw Witherspoon examined the ofticer’s | pistol and found it had not been fired.

The Sedalia Bazoo is a paper that really exists, although many people doubt it.just as many used to doubt whether there was really any such place as Oshkosh or Kalamazoo. Sedalia is flourishing town in Mis- souri, and the Bazoo isa good pa- per published there by Colonel Dana and to hear him talk. I ade mire him and his paper very much but have always had a against them both. One day the Sun bad an editorial on ‘Plural Wives, which seemed to me to bea pretty good thing. So, being short of editorial matter that day, I just scissored it and slapped it into the Bazoo. During the next few days I had to barricade my office and keep my revolver out of the drawer. There was constant procession of indignant men who called me to ace count for making personal reflection onthem. I had to come out the next week and explain that the arti- cle was from the Sun, and was only aimed at Mormons. That taught me a lesson.
