Senator Vest Belicyes in the Per- tle Springs Gospel. OUTLOOK FOR FREE SILVER. International Agreement a Vissionary Project, the United States Must Blaze the Way. Senator George G. Vest arrived in| St. Louis Tuesday night. He is the guest of his son-in-law and dughter, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. P. B. Jackson, at the Southern Hotel. He will re- main here until Thursday morning and then join his family at Sweet Springs. Old friends who have seen him says the Senator hasn’t looked as well inten or fifteen yearsas he does now. His trip to Charlsbad has done him an immense amount of good. His complexion is ruddy and his flesh firm. The old-time fire has been rekindled in his eye and his step is elastic. “IT have denied that lie so often that it seems unnecessary for me to say anything more about it except to repeat that it’s a lie made out of the whole cloth,” Senater Vest said to a Post-Dispatch reporter. He re ferred to the wild story first printed in the Washington correspondence of the New York Herald while the Senator was on the Atlantic home- ward bound, claiming “on the au- thority of a leading Democrat” that a new light had burst upon him in Europe,revealing the currency ques- tion from a standpoint trom which he had never viewed it, and produc- ing a radical change in his opinion on that issue.” “There never was a more palpable lie printed or told,” continued Sena- tor Vest. “I hold today the same view on the coinage question that I have always held, and my trip to Europe has only {confirnmed them. I ‘stand squarely on the Pertle Springs platform and shall exert all my energy to secure a plank in the next national platform of the party demanding the free and un- limited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.” “Do you believe the Democratic National Convention next year will be dominated by the free silyer men?” was asked. “To be perfectly frank and sin- cere with you,” replied Senator Vest, “I must say that I do not think they will. Those of us who are striving to get the party back to the double monetary standard, though in the majority, have tremendous odds to combat. All the money and all the eorporate interests of every section of the country are fighting us and in addition the full weight of the pow- erful Northeastern States is thrown against us.” “Then you do not look for any immediate reversal of the present financial legislation or conditions?” “No, Ido not. Primarily, we can hope for nothing as long as Grover Cleveland in in the White House. By that I mean that if the next Con- gress should pass a free coinage bill it would be vetoed by the President. But, of course, nobody expects the next Congress to do any such thing. I look for the succeeding Congress, however, to be overwhelmingly Democratic, and therefore friendly to silver. The history of our elec- tions shows that it will be swept in- to power by a whirlwind, like the Congress that meets in December was. “After all,” the Senator continued, “the people must settle this fight. The issue is squarely drawn them and the plutocrats—between the double standard and the single gold standard and the single gold stand- ard—and now that it has come to that I have no misgivings whatever as to the final result. “My trip to Eurype has convinced me that the hope of an international agreement is a false one. The Unit- ed States will have to blaze the way and all the States of Europe will be compelled to follows. In Germany there is a deep and powerful under- current of the bimetallic sentiment, but the repressive system of the German Government keeps it in check. The Emperor pays attention only to the army and depends whol- ly on that terrible enginery to hold the country to his wishes. But the great mass of German people are too intelligent not to see the injus- ONE;PARTY, ONE PLATFORM. | tice and the ruinious effects of the single gold standard to the main- tenance of which their Government is commited The German jfarmers are al) bimetallists, and I surprised at their intelligence and jinformation. Theyare better edu- cated than the same class in this country, and their manner of living affords them greater opportunity for the study and the discussion of public questions. They live in vil- jlages and go out to their farms in | the day time to work. At night they are back in the villages drinking beer and talking politics. They are Socialists—Socialist | Democrats— not at all like the Socialists and An- archists who caused that bloodshed at Chicago, but the great conserva- tive force in the politics of Germany. “I talked with the bankers at Frankfort and of course found them to be as dead set agninst bimetallism or the rehabiliatation of silver as the bankers and money changers of this country are. I talked with many members of the British Parlisment and learned that the bimetallic sen- timent is growing rapidly in Eng- land. But that should not encour- age anybody in this country to de- sire a postponment of a settlement of the currency fight here until Eng- land {takes hold of it. What we must do ia to proceed just as if there were no other nation interest- ed in the question and push it to speedy settlement in the United States.” “If the gold men win in the next Democratic National Convention is there any likelihood of the free sil- ver men swinging away from them and setting up in business for them- selues?” the reporter inquired. “There certainly ought not to be,” was Senator Vest’s ready response, “and I don’t believe there is any such likelihood. For my own part I could be nothing but a Democrat, and I dont propose to let the gold men drive me out of my party. What we can do, if we go about it right, is to drive them out of the party.” Senator Vest will attend the great trans Mississippi Deepwater Con- vention at Topeka, Kan., Oct. 1, 2, and 3, until then he does not expect to make a speech anwhere. SILVER DICK BLAND. now He Writesa Letter to Governor Stone Regarding a Speech. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 25.— Governor Stone, who returned to- day from the silver conference at Mempiis, Tenn., gives out the fol- lowing letter, which was awaiting his return. It is self explanatory: Hon. W. J. Stone, Jefferson City, Missouri. Lebanon, Mo., Sept. 25.—Friend Stone: Yours of the 16th imst would have receiyed and earlier reply, but I have just returned home from a ten days’ tour. Since my speech at Laclede I have traveled into Kansas Oklahoma and other places, where I have spoken in behalf of the free coinage of silver. I have had but little opportunity to read the papers. Your letter is the first information I have received to the eftect that I am reported in the papers as saying in my Laclede speech “That the time had come for breaking up of party lines,and that hereafter the peo- ple would not, and should not, cling to party organization, but would fight for what they deemed right ete.” This is a misunderstanding or misconstruction of what I said on that occasion. I stated at that time as I thought, distinctly and deliber- ately “that the day had gone by when the people of this country could be relied on to support party labels or names, that political par- nite principles, etc.” I write to say now,as I have often said before, that my place to fight isin the Democratic party. It is the party of the people. The masses of the people are all right. The are ple. There is an element trying to control the party in the interest of plutocracy. There can be no com- promise of harmony between these two elements. There is new and always will be, war to the knife be- ; tween Democracy and plutocracy. | Yours truly, R. P. Buaxp.

DEACON BROS. Low Price Hardware and G-ocery! House. The New York Platform. The platform adopted by the New York Democrats at Syracuse to-day places the candidates who stand up on it in a position to win in Novem- ber. It conciliates the Anti Snappers by indorsing the. Federal Adwinis- tration and warmly praising Cleve- land as “the first citizen of New York.” It calis a halt on tariff agitation, while giviug the Wilson bill credit for the imprevement of business and industrial conditions. And it deals with two burning ques- tions ina fearless and straightfor- ward manner Its declaration for “the single standard of value” (meaning the single gold standard), its declaration against the free coinage of silver, and its condemnation of Government legal tender notes in favor of a »a- tional bank currency, express the views that are undoubtedly held in New York and in most of the States east of the Alleghanies. The East- ern Democrate have joined the Re publicans on this issue and no party question can be raised upoa it io New York State.
