work in the various states under consid-
eration were selected. It is stated that
the plans are now practically completed,
and active work in the field will com-
mence within a week.
Colonel Scott, who comes from one of
the states to which considerable attention
was given at the conferences, is here and
has been in consultation with the commit- -
tee, and he is of the opinion that his state
can, despite the claims of the Democrats,
be carried for McKinley and Hobart if en-
ergetic work be done. Colonel Scott aho
says that he believes that Kentucky, Lou-
isiana and even Virginia can be swung
into line for the Republican standard
bearers.

part in the proceedings of the committee,
is also pronounced in his opinion that
these states can be captured for his party,
and he says that by the middle of next

Bismarck Favors Bimetallism.
DALLAS, Sept. 21. —'In a speech in this
city Saturday evening Governor Culber-
son read a letter from Prince Bismarck
on the money question in reply to. a letter
. sent him by the governor, in Which the
prince was asked what he thought would
be the effect 1n Europe of the United States
immediately adOpting bimetallism. Prince
Bism'arck’s reply is as follows:
FREDERICHSRUHE, Aug. 24.
HONORED SIR—Your esteemed favor has
been duly received. I hold that this is the
very hour that would be advisable to bring
about between the nations chiefly engaged
in the world’s commerce a mutual agree-
ment in favor of the establishment of bi-
metallism. The United States are freer
by far in their movements than any na-
tion of Europe. and hence, it the people of
the United States should find it cOmpati-
ble with their interests to take independ-
ent action in the direction of bimetallisin,
-I cannot but believe that such action
would exert a most salutary influence
upon the consummation of international
agreement. - BISMARCK.
