J NC T0LtsitM hitanttah Ill MEsleS1Sa II got
ting n little mixed in lis warp mud woof. Tho
threads hmye crossed a1,d hnavlcl, and the sit
nation niny he summed up somewhat NJ fol-
laws: Tho Republicans held their Conycn.
ton md pronounced for honest, par money.
The Democrats held thcir Convention md
pronounced for hard money MISC. They
adopted rho Republican, platform aln.ost
bodily. It hardly contained enough Of tho
essence Of bourbon 10 bo recognized }sy the
most inveterAte old-liner. On currency,
souni money, tariff, national Sovereignty, cn-
forcemcut Of tho lnws, etc. tho two werc
nearly identical in plnnes md general COIL
strucsion. Upon the Democratic platform
y. D. Du1.11. WIS nominated for Governor.
50 far. 80 good. Then cn1no the AMI
atonopoliats' Convention, n squad Of inda-
ton ,nn1contents, ten or fifteen in number,
headed and tailed by IaSAT1us DoSst1ar.
The dozen met, and, 1.,ltlor DosSEILY's dircc-
tionH, they taitesl hook will, imitation, rag
money, J.G' bonds, and other ts1,cls, andwent
fishing for candidate. The first ono 10 bite
was tlis same ID. D. DuELt, who had already
accepted q position npon tic Democratic
harG-money platform. All Of tho other Dem
ocratic candidates but two bit at Tie same
bait, md, in Tho psaco Of these two, Prohibition
fanatics wero substituted. Tho aiuation re.
selves itself, therefore rs follows: 1suEL1, the
Democratic candidate OH a hard-monay plat
form, Inns accepted tho nomination of tho Anti
AGonopolists upon rag-money, Initiation plat
form. He lsns mounted two horses going two
different ways, md in going to attempt tho
feat Of riding them. Tho st. raul DipatcA
lon1ocrntic), speaking Of the rng-moncy
ticket, says: "'Hho ticket will command just
about two-thirtls NJ many votes as there were
delegates present, and is not even so much
rs gsat OIL bulls horn in tho political nf-
fairs Of Minnesota" 1sut how nhont the
Democratic ticket? The people Of Alinne-
sofa aro reputed to bc possessed OF more tl'au
ordinary Intelligence md honesty. What do
they think Of tho greed and coretousnoss for
ofalco displayed by this mnn DuEl.L? Will
they swallow such specimen Of hypocrisy
as Ibis without n protest If ho Is m in}a-
Zionist, what ia ho asking hard.monoy votes
for? II lo in n hard-1ponoy mail, why is he
consortiny with tho inllasionista ? Tho reo-
pic OF A1inne8oth never Ind s,lch an excel
lent opportunity before to robuko po-
liticn1 duplicity, md wo mistake their
temper Ii they do not crush this corrupt COM
binaton iuto atoms. Tho political issucs Of
the day aro too momentous. too powerful III
their influence upon tho business interests Of
tho country, TO allow Of such double dealing
mud bed faith, political trickcry and personal
hypocrisy. It IN tiino when every man run
ming for high Office should be clear and un-
l,istakablo in his viewa. We submit TINT n
man who t1sotaros himself in favor at one and
tho same time Of sound money and unsounl
money IS n political charlatan, who is not
safe tn bo Trusted in a responsible position,
md who tloeg not deserve the vote Of any
honest man III hin own party, or in either Of
thu two parties whose opposing interests ho
champions. Against such inconsistency md
hypocrisy Tho Republicans should aim their
heaviest bolts.
