And then I sup-jioH-d we were for eilve. But it's all changed. I've just returned from a meeting of the Ohio State Dtiiiocratic Central Committee, of whu h I'm a member. We got to gether at the Neil House in Colum bia Uie other day twenty-one of us; one from each Congressional district mid since then I'm for gold. "1 went there for silver, and out of the twenty-one members I only found four for silver where there should have been fourteen. 1 made 'em a speech and declared myself, but I couldn't turn them. So I went with them. I'm for gold now. I'm old, but you 'can't lose me Char lie." You can't get by your Uncle Isaac in the dark." Here Col. Hill assumed an air of profundity. "What did your State central committee do?" 'We decided to hold a convention ut Springtield August 20 and 21," replied Col. Hill. "I wanted it at Columbus. The goldbnga wanted it ut Toledo. There were eight votes for ISpringfield, and I gave 'em the fou r votes cast for Columbus, and that beat Toledo." TURNED THE TIDE AOAlNST TOLEDO. "I change four votes from Co lumbus to Springtield,' I said, after we'd voted, and I'd seen the cat jump. This would give Springfield a majority. 'What authority has Mr. Hill to change four votes?' asked one of the Toledo ducks. " 'Never you mind my authority,' I said, shaking my finger at him like this 'Never you worry about my authority. You can gamble I've got the authority all right, and that's enonuh for any gum-shoe goldbug to know. "liut you should have heard the speech I made 'em in executive ses sion." "I'll ask you about the speech later," said The Post reporter. "Was Senator Hrice there?" "No," replied Col. Hill. '-Senator Brice was in New York. But his IS ople were there. We had Walter iitchie and that man they call The Bob Flush, and a lot of others." "Whv do vou call him The Bob Flush?" "because he never beat anything in his life," retorted Col. Hill. "Well, Walter Kitchie and The Bob Flush were there for Brice; and thev used to get an armful of tele grams from him every hour. I'd see them with their telegrams, and sav scorn fall v. 'What does he tell jou to do now?' It made them tired. In executive uelon 1 tired off a speech. It was a sizA-snorter. You have nungltd n agriculture in your boyhood. Were you ever present on some gala occasion when they accidentally fed the monkey-wrench to the thrash iiiK machine? Well, that's the sort of a spt'ech I made. I told them you " 'So, vou're for gold now?" "1 am," replied Col. Hill firmly. "Your Uncle Isaac Hill will here after he for that jaundiced currency. Why, what's the use? We are hepless beneath the rule of the money power. Crush uc? My boy, they can crush ns by wire. Yes, sir; beat us by telephone. They did it in Ohio the other day. "And look at Kentucky. I saw Senator Fugh since I returned and fe said, speaking of Kentucky: 'ucn't mind Kentuckv. Ike. That little wrastle between zold and silver didn't decide anything. It was only dog fall.' "Log fall!" continued Col. Hill, a tritle wildly, "doe fall! Senator I'ugb, mav be able to call that cat clysm in politics a dog fall; but to toy mind you might as well call the " ot Caesar a doe fall, wnen they turn down such men as Joe Blackburn, your Uncle Ike can lee the handwriting on the wall without a opera glass.

In a previous letter to you I maJ? bold to disclose all our wheni-; for we feared not the people. W'v have ull confidence in the people, thoM we have ruled and subjected and t-d-ucated and trained for the glory of America. The last thing we did to howl for "old glory" was to plae at Hell Gate, out at sea near New York ;ty, the monstrous statue of "Lib erty Enlightening the World." They tell me myriads of gnats, butterllir, and other insects are attracted by the light only to have their wintrs scorched and to FALL IXTO THE TIDE OF HELL GATE. This is is to say the thousands and millions of simple minded people who may set up a standard other than that set up by us of British and America in fame, will be attracted by the glare thereof. Having their feathers singed they will fall into hell and the sea. Matt liansom is on his native heath again and will now take hid stand in Dixie. With the persuasive unction of his religious voice he will straighten out things. We made a great mistake in hav ing the Memphis gold convention. We should not have precipitated the conflict so soon and have .shown our hand at all. The material of the convention also pointed out to the people who their enemies are. We ought to have procured. INXOCKKT FARMERS, MECHANICS and merchants to have held the con vention and then all would have gone merrily. Instead of that we had bankers, corporation judges and awyers, and the foremost men in monopolies and syndicates. It was a huge mistake. Again we put our biggest man first; with the christian graces of a profound statesman came Carlisle to have his bladder punctured with a thousand little needles twixt now and harvest time. Whether it was a ventriloquist in the galleries or an echo of 187S. a voice was heard answering back to every word, low and mournful. It was heard to say "I am for the ,un united coinage of both eold and silver." Then came again the voice- lhe conspiracy formed here and in Europe." At intervals it was heard now and then "to destroy half the property would not entail such suffering" more miserv than all the WARS PESTILENCES AND FAMINES that have ever occurred. "The dis organization of society!" The de monetization of silver the most gi gantic crime of this or any other .M 11(1 l in ..a. ager- oucn a scneme:" ".Not a single standard but a double stand ard." As this voice came back from the roofing as if in fiendish and hellish mockery of the Christian secretary wnue speaking, my mood curdled in my veins and my spirit kept rapping as some black raven tapping The Rothschild's gold, the banker's gold Graver's Jaltey is bought and sold. Twas a huge mistake. It let the world and all the people into our schemes.

There are times when brave men are cring ing cowards, and occasions when thost vt strong convictions are aa vascillating as the slender reed that sways to the breeze. Such men could face an avalanche of argument and logic without the quiver of a muscle, but nothing so completely unmans them as an appeal to the sentiment "don't strike the dear old Democratic war.. " r-i . This slogan has kept more voters iu the ranks than the hope of achievement, or the promise of sal vation. And what is the result? The country is in the throes of the worst panic, that has occurred siuce the war. Labor is idle and crying for bread, the wheels of commerce and industry have stopped and the prices of farm products have gone down and down until there is no longer a decent living for those who till the soil.
