A fine-looking man, with the unmistaka- ble air and carriage of a westerner, suunter- ed through the lobby of the Nationa! last night, and people turned to look at him. His broad-brimmed slouch hat, his ener- getic manner, his quick, decisive speech, all proclaimed the section whence he hail- ed, and he chatted casually with an uc- quaintance as if he were booming town lots or planning to build a railroad. This typical westerner was Col. Abraham Boya- ton of Sioux City, S.D., and he !s no stranger to Washington, his interests ca!l- ‘ing him here quite frequently. Col. Boyn- ton is one of the leading democrats of his state, and was railroad commissioner of the territory under Gov. Church before it was admitted to the Union. “Politics are quiet in our state this ‘all,” remarked Col. Boynton to a Star reporter, “as only a judicial election will be Yeld. The populists are quite strong in South Dakota, and they are holding their strength, too. You will remember that they cast the second largest vote in last fall's election, being exceeded only by the republicans. The democrats of the state favor finnly the modification of the tariff along the lines laid down in the Chicago platform. Weure Rot greatly interested in the proposed sil- | ver legislation, as our mining industries are not extensive.’ Crops have been good in cur state this year, and South Dakota is pros- perous.”” “Let me show you a curiosity,” sald Col. ‘Thomas J. Moore of Richmond, Va., at the Metropolitan this morning. He flourished @ ponderous cane as he spoke, and nis Ustener dodged as if to escape a threatened blow. “I am not going to strike anybody with it, but I want you to look at that cane,” continued the gentleman from Vir- ginia. The other examined it, and remark. ed that he noticed nothing peculiar about it. “See that bullet imbedded in the side near the head?" inquired Col. Moore. His com- panion looked again and saw it. “That cane was cut from the battle field at Gettysburg between the peach orchard and the wheat field, and the bullet was buried in the growing limb, just as you vee it now. I bought it at the world’s fair, but not from a fakir. It was sold to me by a coun- tryman, who lives near Gettysburg, and who was well known to a friend with whom Iwas traveling. He did not offer it for sale, but I persuaded him to sell it to me after I learned its history. I could have sold it immediately afterward for ten times the price I paid to a gentleman who saw me purchase it.” Col. Moore is just returning from the ex- position, and is very enthusiastic over its success. In his party were several who had attended the expositions at London, Paris and Vienna, and they all united in declaring the world’s fair superior to all those named. Col. Moore states that no feature attracts greater attention than the reproduction of Mount Vernon, wh'ch fs on uiiton, immense crowds visiting it every “One of the best illustrations of the power of oratory I have ever known came under my observation during the last ses- sion of the Florida tegislature,” said Mr. J. E. Alexander, a member of that body, as he sat chatting in the Riggs House lobby last night. The Georgia Central railroal was applying for an extension of its char- ter into our state, and Gov. Gordon, the resident, was to appear before vur legis- ture in advocacy of the application. Judge Minor Jones, one of our prominent citizens, came to me in indignation at the idea. ‘Vote against the proposition,’ he said. ‘It is a monstrous outrage. The land should go back to the people.” ‘Well, judge,” I responded, ‘I don’t know. I ain a sreat Gordon man, and I have rather grown to believe that ‘whatever John B. Gordon ai- voeates is very apt to be correct.’ ‘If you vote for the measure,’ said the judge, ‘it witl kill you politically forever.” ‘I'll tell you what I'll do, judge,’ I said finally; ‘after you have heard Gordon speak f'll vote just as you say.’ Of course the judge readily agreed to the proposition. Well, the day for Gordon's speech arrived, and Judge Jones came around to the state house to listen. I invited him to the floor and gave him my seat. Gordon spoke as only Go: don can. The judge listened attentively. As Gov. Gordon closed and took his seat I turned to Judge Jones and looked him fult in the face. "How shall I vote, judge? I asked. ‘Vote to extend the charter, by heavens!” he exclaimed. ‘And if he wants it, give him the state, and include the peo- ple! I voted that way. Ex-Gov. Samuel J. Crawford of Topeka, Kan., who occupied the gubernatorial chair of the sunflower state away back in 1865, 1s stopping at the Ebbitt. He was probably the youngest governor the state ever had, being at the time of his inauguration only twenty-nine years old, and he has kept close watch of Kansas politics for a third of a century. Gov. Crawford is engaged in the practice of law at Topeka, and is a free silver republican. “I think it is safe to say that a great majority of our people are for the free coinage of silver as far the product of American mines extends, he remarked. ‘While Kansas {s not directly interested in silver mining in any great degree, much of our business comes from the silver producing states of the west, and legislation inimical to their interest natu- rally affects us. France, with half our pop- ulation,maintains $700,000.00 of silver money, and it would appear that we could use at Teast $800,000,000 or $1,000,000,000. ‘That is the way it looks to the people of the west. “As far as Kansas is concerned, the con- dition of our people is improving. We had but few bank failures during the past sum- mer, and our financial institutions are gen- erally in good condition. Crops this year have been good, and the farmers are rap- idly decreasing their mortgage indebtedness. Last year Kansas produced 61,000,000 bushels of wheat, more than was ever produced in one year by any state, and the corn crop reached 200,000,000 bushels.” Gov. Crawford reports the political situa- tion in his state as greatly mixed, but does not think the populist party is as strong there as it was last year. “Its future will depend largely on the legislation of this Congress,” he declared. “I iyo on the Mne of what is known in my state as the senatorial railway—the West Virginia Central,” said Mr. W. B. Maxwell, a prominent attorney of Parsons, W. Va, at the National this morning. ‘Scattered along {t are such stations as Windom, Blaine, Gorman, Bayard, Wilson, Davis, Elkins, Harrison,’ Kerins and Bar- num, ‘and that is how it gets its appella- tion.** Mr. Maxwell is a great friend of Repre- sentative William L. Wilson. “I am quite certain,” he declared, “that there is no foundation for the report that Stewart Walker, Senator Faulkner's law partner, will contest with Mr. Wilson for the next congressional nomination. No one could de- feat Wilson in his district. He is the best posted man on the tariff in the House of Representatives, and he will make such a reputation in his work at the head of the ways and means committee as will render him invincible.” Col A. B. Andrews of Raleigh, N. C., general manager of the Richmond and Dan- ville railroad system, was'shaking hands with his many friends about the Metro- politan this morning. Col. Andrews is one of the best known railroad men in the coun- try, having grown up in the service, and “what he don’t know about railroading isn’t worth knowing,” as one of his friends remarked. “There has not been a year since the war, probably,” said Col. An- drews today, “when the crops of North Carolina have been made with so little money. Cash was scarce, and the mer- chants were forced to curtail cred! Con- sequently the farmers bought | and created smaller debts, and this fall a great- er proportion of their crops will be free than has been the case in many years. Times have been hard, but our peopie, be- cause of the conditions mentioned, are in better condition than usual.” Mr. E. E. West, a noted local politician of the state of Florida, was the center of an interested group at the Riggs House this morning. His fame as a politician, or- ganizer and worker extends throughout his section, and in appearance he is a typical southerner—tall in stature, with a wide- brimmed black hat, dark hair, eyes and complexion, and a heavy, drooping mus- tache. “He is the man who runs demo- eratic politics in all his bailiwick,” re- marked a friend. “He, more than all other |influences, sent to Washington our new Congressman, Cooper—the young member who made a reputation the other day by his speech for unconditional repeal.” Mr. West ts also a strong friend of Sena- tor Call and stands very close to all the leading democratic politicians of the state. Mr. F. O. Baston, a prominent manufac- turer of Natick, Mass., was speaking of the business situation at Willard’s this morning. “While conditions cannot yet be termed entirely satisfactory,” he said, “they are improving, and the general feeling of the manufacturers of my section, especially the shoe manufacturers, is that the im- provement will continue and the fall and | winter business will be much better than they hoped for a few weeks ago.” WORK OF THE VALKYRIE. What the English Yacht Has Done Thus Fa Lord Dunraven’s cutter Valkyrie was de- signed by Watson. Her first race was sailed ‘on May 2,in the regatta of the Royal Thames Yacht Club over a fifty-mile course. The Britannia, Calluna and Iverna were entered against her. The Britannia won, and the Iverna was second. The Britannia beat the Valkyrie 6 minutes and 3% seconds. The Iverna beat her by 2 minutes and 6 seconds. ‘Two days later the Britannia, Iverna and Valkyrie raced in the regatta of the Royal London Yacht Club. This time the Iverna won, beating the Valkyrie 9 minutes, 22 sec- onds. The Britannia was second, beating the Valkyrie 3 minutes, 22 seconds. The next race in which the Valkyrie start- ed was that of the New-Thames Yacht Club, on June 3. The Britannia, Satanita, Calluna and Iverna were entered against her. The Valkyrie won, with the Satanita second. The Valkyrie beat the Satanita by 12 min- utes, 23 seconds, On June 5 the Valkyrie satled in the regat- ta of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club against the Britannia, Satanita, Iverna and Calluna. ‘The Valkyrie won, beating the Britannia, the second boat, by 3 minutes, 5% seconds. ‘The next day, in a regatta of the same club against the ‘same competitors, she won, with the Britannia second. She beat the Britannia in that race 3 minutes, 7 seconds. On her next race, which was the regatta of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, on June 10, the same boats were entered against her with the addition of the schooner Amphi- trite. The Britannia was the winner, with the Valkyrie second. She was beaten by 5 seconds. On June 12 the Valkyrie sailed her next race, which was the regatta of the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club. Britannia, Iver- na and Calluna were entered against her. ‘The Britannia was the winner, and the Cal- luna was second. The Valkyrie was dis- abled and did not complete the race. ‘The next day the Valkyrie started in the second day's race of the same club, but both she and the Britannia were disabled, and had to be towed back to port. In her next race the Valkyrie was a win- ner against the Britannia, Satanita, Calluna and Iverna. It was the regatta of the Royal Southern Yacht Club, sailed over a forty- two-mile course on June 17. The Britannia, the second boat, was beaten by 6 minutes, 39 seconds. ‘On June 26 the Valkyrie raced against the Britannia, Satanita and Iverna in the regat- ta of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club. She won the race, beating the Britannia, which was second, by 53 seconds. Three days later she raced against the same boats in the regatta of the Royal Largs Yacht Club, and came in third, being defeated over a 4%-mile course by both the Britannia and Satantta. The Iverna gave up and did not finish the race. The Britannia defeated the Valkyrie by 4 minutes, 35 sec- onds. The Satanita beat her by 17 seconds. The same boats and the Iverna raced again in the regatta of the Royal Northern Yacht Club on July 1, and the Britannia was the winner, with the Valkyrie second. The Britannia beat the Valkyrie 1 minute, 88 seconds. In the second day's racing of the same club the same boats started, and the Calluna won, with the Valkyrie second. On July 4 the same boats sailed in the regatta of the Royal Western Yacht Club of Scotland. The Satanita was not timed, and the Britannia and Calluna gave up the race. The Valkyrie won, beating the Iverna by 5 minutes, 23 seconds The next day the Satanita, Valkyrie and Iverna started in the regatta of the Mud- hook Yacht Club. The Valkyrie won the race, beating the Satanita by 1 minute, 33 seconds. ‘The regatta of the Clyde Corinthian Yacht Club was sailed on July 7, and the Satanita, Britannia, Valkyrie and Iverna were started. The Valkyrie won, with the Britannia sec- ond. She beat the Britannia by 58 seconds. The next day the Royal Clyde Yacht Club had a regatta overa fifty-mile course, in which the same boats, with the addition of the Calluna, started as on the preceding day. The Satanita was disabled, the Britannia disqualified and the Iverna not timed. The Valkyrie won the race, beating the Calluna by 1 hour, % minutes and 32 seconds. In the race of the same club on July 10 the same boats started, and the Valkyrie was again the winner, with the Calluna second. ‘On July 14 the two days’ racing of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club began. In the first race the Satanita won, beating the Britan- nia, Valkyrie, Calluna and Iverna, Britan- nia’ was second and Valkyrie last. In the second day’s racing the Valkyrie won, with the Britannia second. On July 31 a regatta of the Royal London Yacht Club was sailed, in which the Satant- ta, Britannia, Calluna, Valkyrle, Ivern+ and the American yacht Navahoe were entered. 's first race on the other side, and, in fact, her first race any- where. The Britannia ‘won the race, with the Valkyrie second and the Navahoe third. In the race for the queen's cup, opened to yachts enrolled in the Royal Yacht Squad- Ton, sailed on August 1, the Valkyrie would have won had.she not been disqualified for turning a buoy in the wrong direction. As it was, the race’ was given to the German Emperor's boat Meteor, the old Thistle. On August 3 the Satanita defeated the Navahoe, Valkyrie and Calluna in a race for the Cowes Town cup. The Valkyrie wax second, but was beaten by 8 minutes, 18 seconds. It will thus be seen that out of twenty- three starts the Valkyrie won eleven first and four second prizes, and was second in the race for the Town cup of Cowes.

Animals seem to have an instinct which prevents them from eating such things us are poisonous, but in man that faculty is omitted. No wild beast ever dies from eat- ing indigestible, let alone deadly, things that come in ite way, but men die from mistak- ing poisonous fungi for mushrooms, and from any number of similar blunders.

Yesterday afternoon some 3,000 people, the great majority of them wearing the red fez of the order of the Mystic Shrine, gathered at the grounds of the Washington Base Ball Club to witness a game of ball be- tween the team of the Boum! Temple of Baltimore and the nine of the Lu Lu Temple of Philadelphia. Each team had when they met yesterday, one game to its credit, and at the invitation of Almas Tempie of this city, the third and deciding contest was played ‘here on neutral ground. About 300 Shriners and ladies accompanied the Philadelphia team and brought over their band of twenty-five pieces, while less than one hundred were present from the Monumental city. The visitors reached here about 11:30 yesterday morning and were escorted up the avenue to the Ebbitt House, where dinner was served them. After a short time spent in sightseeing, the whole party made their way to the ball grounds. The two teams were escorted upon the grounds by the band, and after perform- ing several marching evolutions took the field, the Lu Lus going to the bat. Presi- dent Nick Young of the National Base Ball e officiated as umpire, and it is pre- sumed that only the presence of a large force of policemen, which had been thought- fully provided, saved him from violence. But six innings were played, yet they were quite enough to make the crowd feel per- fectly at home, for it was throughout the entire game more like witnessing a contest between local leaguers and some slightly better club than anything that could well have been imagined. The bleachers, how- ever, kindly refrained from yelling every now and then: “Play ball! Play ball!” for they realized that neither team was there for that purpose. They were there simply for the amusement of the throng, and to thelr credit it can be sald that they fully succeeded in their efforts. Of course, once in a while one of the alleged players did manage to come in contact with the ball either through the mediign of their bat or Person, and in that way Feached the initial bag, and then through misplays which would have done credit to even the present tallenders in the league race sometimes suc- ceeded in reaching home. Thus the contest Fan until darkness and the umpire's tired feeling compelled the calling of the game a!

A meeting took place last night in New York between Judge Newton, match-maker of the Coney Island Athletic Club, and Charlie Mitchell, the English heavy-weight champion. They dined at the Hoffman House and then took a walk down Broad- way and through 5th avenue. ‘The situation was thoroughly talked over between them. Mitchell did not itke the idea of being dictated to by Corbett, but said that this was the second time he had come over to thi country to settle the matter of supremacy with Corbett, and he felt that he, as a foreigner, had a right to have a say in the matter. ‘He did not pro- pose to be ignored and be obliged to agree to whatever arrangements Corbett saw fit to make without his being consulted; that he came here to fight, and that he did not travel 6,000 miles to simply make a Liu. Judge Newton made him the offer of a purse of $40,000, to which the stake money of $10,000 a side could be added, making the purse $60,000,the largest amount ever fought for in this country. Mitchell sald that if there was no other place to pull this fight off than Coney Island, he would just as soon fight there, as the object of his trip was to fight Jim Cor- bett, and the quicker the matter could be settied and he could get to training the better he would like it. Judge Newton presented Mitchell with a copy of the articles which Jim Corbett signed. The understanding between them is that Mitchell has from now until Satur- day to read the articles over and cross out anything that does not meet with hi: views and add anything he thinks is nec sary or has been neglected. Then the ar- ticles are to be presented to Corbett for his approval. If everything is then satis- factory to both men the final signing will be done. ‘The chances are the fight will take place in Coney Island. Mitchell himself was seen later. “I have not yet affixed my signature to the arti- cles,” he said, “but I will do so, probably tomorrow. I have agreed to sign to fight for $40,000 at Coney Island the third week in December.” Roberts’ Good Uphill Playing. Frank Ives scored 1,000 points and John Roberts, jr., ran 960 points last night at Chicago in the fourth section of their inter- national match at billiards, De Oro to Play Roberts. CHICAGO, Sept. 22.—A pool match be- tween Alfredo De Oro, the champion of America, and John Roberts, jr., the cham- pion of England, has at last been arranged. ‘The two players met in and decided to play the match at the Lenox Lyceum in New York from October 2 to 7. The contest will be for $1,000 a side, but the stakes can be increased if the players agree. Half the games are tobe at English and half the American styl® The Navahoe Prepuring to Return.

LAUREL, Ma., Sept. 22, 1898. The electric railroad and the boulevard between Baltimore and Washington at last seems to be assured facts. The surveyors have been nearly all the week surveying different lines in the immediate vicinity of and through Laurel. One of the routes runs directly through the center of the town from north to south, crossing the Patuxent river just in the rear of Dr. Cronmiller's, where there is a natural rocky pier for one part of the bridge, thence in a direct line through North Laurel to Savage. Your correspondent was talking to one of the officers of the road this week, and was as- sured that the road would be built very shortly. This will open up some of the best and most eligibly situated building sites near this place and add much to the value of the property in and near Laurel. Laurel was enlivened last evening, and Pythian circles stirred up by a visit from the members of Ivanhoe Division, Uniform- ed Rank, K. of P., of Baltimore. Laurel | Lodge turned out in force and met the vis- {tors at the station, where the procession formed, headed by the Laurel Military Band and the drum corps. After parading some of the principal streets they marched to| the hall and went into secret session. After exemplifying the unwritten work, the doors were opened and the public were invited to | witness the drill of the knights in full uni- | form, after which there were speeches and | @ supper. The evening closed with a dance, in which the visitors took part. The pur- pose of the visitation was to induce the lodge here to organize a uniformed rank. A peculiar accident happened to the mail leaving here at 12 o'clock for Washington. ‘The train carrying the mall is an express, and the pouch is caught by the mail clerk ‘on the train. By some means the pouch was | not held and fell under the train. Some of the letters were cut in two and the con- tents scattered along the frack for some distance. The Uttle son of the Rev. L. A. Thirlkeld met with quite a severe accident yesterday. ‘While playing with a companion he ran against a barbed wire fence and tore quite a large hole in his scalp. ‘A delightful entertainment was given by the Ladies’ Aid Society of St. Philip's Church at the residence of Mrs. Brehme on Main street on Wednesday evening.

Statisticlan Robinson says: “This missatement is palpable to anyone who has looked at my September report. It contains no such statements regarding the wheat crop as are attributed to it in the articles in question.” ———se+. The District Committee. There was a brief session of the Senate District committee this morning just be- fore the opening of the Senate. Nothing was done beyond the reference of some of the recent bills to subcommittees.

NATIONAL BANK DEPOSITORS. A Bill Framed to Prevent Bank Of- ficers From Borrowing Too Freely. ‘The House committee on banking and currency today authorized Mr. Cox of Ten- nessee to report favorably to the House the bill introduced by him to promote the safety of funds and deposits of national banks. The bill prohibits the officers and other employes of banks, except directors who are not otherwise officers or employes, to become borrowers or to become lable to the bank by reason of overdrawn account, or as indorser, guarantor, security or otherwise, except upon written application approved by a majority of the directors or executive committee. In the opinion of the majority of the com- mittee the result sought to be reached—the Preventing of the misappropriation of the funds of the bank by the officers actually engaged in handling them—can be secured through this bill. It is believed that the mischiefs to be pre- vented have arisen mainly, if not entirely, in cases where the loans made to the di- rectors, officers and employes of the bank have been systematically concealed from the board of directors, and that there ex- ists no case in which the majority of the board of directors have intentionally per- mitted any loans to or use of the moneys of the bank by its directors or officers in amounts sufficient to render the bank in- solvent. ‘The committee believe that the act goes as far as it is prudent In restricting the directors in availing themselves of accom- modation ‘from the banks, and that it par- ticularly affords to the depositors and stockholders all the protection necessary for their interests without depriving them of the services of the men in each com- munity best qualified and most useful as directors of the bank. Violation of the act is made punishable by a fine of not more than $%,000, or tm- prisonment for not more than five years or both. Views of the Majority. Mr. Warner of New York sympathizes with the object of the bill, but holds that it attempts to perform duties of a most minute character in matters of detail and formally as well as in substance, and he questions whether an attempt to regulate it by law to the extent contemplated will not result in serious embarrassment as unfore- seen contingencies arise. Moreover he holds, when it is recalled that the essential office of federal law in refer- ence to national banks is in connection with their circulating notes and that this | act is so exclusively for the protection of | stockhclders and depositors as to be based | | only upon incidental purpose and powers, it seems clear that the praposed extension of federal interfererce with the banking business should not be enacted into law. Mr. Warner will take this ground in a minority report he will make. Chairman Springer was authorized to appoint a subcommittee of three to consider measures inareasing the circulation of national banks and a subcommittee of five to consider the proposition to repeal the tax on state banks’ circulation. + 2 DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. ‘The Bunker Hill Road.

T WEnry YEARS ‘Lomi THE LEADER!!! fo Bactachey and all bewsraal™” its removed quickly by BENSON’S oy DEFIANT SILVER MEN. If the Majority Won't Give Them Time They Will Take It Semator Wolcott Informs the Senate of What May Be Expected From the WI ‘There are exciting times in the Senate. ‘The silver Senators seem to gain in ar- Togant confidence each day as they gain time on the repeal party. They read a Geclaration of independence today that seems to leave little hope for a vote in the near future. Mr. Wolcott was selected to make the announcement. He did it in @ full-voiced speech of half an hour in reply to the argu- | ments made yesterday in favor of cloture. He secured the floor early, for there were no petitions or memorials and but few bills introduced. : If there ever was a deliberate challenge to a fight it was given by Mr. Wolcott to | to ‘by the ticket the enemies of silver. He even went 80 far as to threaten what his friends would do if there was any suspicion of cloture Proceedings, though he invited the adminis- tration Senators to a vote on the amend- ment to the rules, which, he said, could be had at any time. Mr. Voorhees sat in silence during the tremendous onslaught of the junior Senator from Colorado. He @id not seem to enjoy the threat very fully. Mr. Wolcott began by alluding to the “significant proceedings of last night,” which, he said, taught that there were rocks ahead. Then he laid down his pro- Gram, telling the friends of repeal detinite- ly that if the debate were conducted de- cently it would occupy eastly the whole of each legislative day, without any prolong- ing of the sessions, but if the managers of the bill should cruelly force the case ob- structive measures would be amply justi- fied. He denied that it would be impossible to reach a vote on the cloture amendment if the other side really desired it. The Sena- tors who ask for cloture now are those | who have already fired off their cannon. At this point Mr. Wolcott poured grap2 shot into the ranks of the opposition, taunting them with taking up all the time with speeches and giving no chance for sufficient reply. Mr. Daniel, he said, had made a speech that the friends of silver consid- ered unanswerable. “Is the Senator from Indiana,” he asked, jot going to allow the other Senator from Virginia, who has recently been said to be a convert to the gold party, © chance to ut- us to into history as the senti- This fling created a visible sensation in the Senate.Mr. Daniel, from his seat in the ‘THWARTED IN ATTEMPTS TO SAVE.

Mr. Wolcott alluded to the elections bill and said that the case was merely that of the honor of the south pitted against the pockets of the west as regards the diver- gent interests upon the two bills. He at- tacked the recent editorial remarks of the New York Tribune, which called upon the republican Senators to sacrifice silver to the cause of the elections bill. The public opinion of England, ne said, turning to the attitude of that country, is developing in favor of the course now outlined for the United States. He had read only recently in the London Saturday Review that soon the only American use for silver would be the making of “silver ballast for the public buildings and silver spittoons for the tobacco-chewing Sena- tors.” He usked why Mr. Hill had demanded of Mr. Teller Wf be 4id not know that there was @ majority in favor of repeal ‘Has the Senator from New York a tal- ly?" he cailed. “If he has we shall be glad for him to produce tt and give us the bene- fit of it. Is-this Senate to be reduced to the level of a mere political machine, with every vote tabulated before it is cast? Re- member the old adage: ‘Give josers leave to talk, and winners to laugh! if you are certain of your vote give us at least the poor privilege of voicing our woes. If you have a majority and won't give us the right to talk, we shall take it.” There was a lull after this confident a: sertion of the power of the sflver men, then Mr. Wolcott went on to attack the bankers, who, he said, were the only ele- ments of a “bastard public opiaion” that cried against silver. ——_—_-++e-_____ THEOLOGIANS FRATERNIZE.
