CuicaGo, Feb, 28,—Whether the well- dressed man who stood on the corner of Jackson street and Pacific avenue at 5:30 o'clock yesterday evening and threw away $500 or more was a Cripple Creek millionaire, a board of trade speculator celebrating a victory in the fair index to the sentiment of the par- | grain pit, or just a piain fool with ty. In the west and south the replies are largely favorable to the governor, but the east is almost solidly against more money than brains, will probably never be known. The man’s pockets were full of the coin, and he laughed him on account of the uncertainty of Jas he tossed handfuls in the air and his attitude on the money guestion. Some of the western leaders in their replies have said that if the governor would come out squarely for free coin- age his following in these sections would be largely increased, and that if the silver idea dominates the con- vention that his chances would be ex- cellent for receiving the nomination. The silver people of this state have been bringing strong pressure to bear on the governor to have him de- are for free silver, but should he do this, even if he subscribes to the doc- trine, the chances are that the sound money men of the state would prevent his having a solid delegation in the Chicago convention.
