Will they goto the Pop¬ ulists or from anew party? Secretary of state Allison Mayfield, of Texas, the youngest man who has ever held that position, while in Washington recently, in an¬ swer to an inquiry as to polit¬ ical affair in the Lone Star state, said: “We are all for silver.” ‘'What if the National con¬ vention does not give you a silver man?"’ “We are all Democrats,” he replied, “as well as silver men, and we will support the nom¬ inee. Texas is a dead cinch for the nominee, wherever he is.
