already in Chicago. Just before taking the train Mr.
Sperry said:
sour delegation has not met since our organization
nor have seen any Of the members since the publ

possible for me to voice the sentiment OF the Con-

Very likely the votes of this State the first ballot
Will be cast for General Hawley This will be done
as real, earnest endeavOr to secure his nomination
1t is also very likely that the Connecticut dele
CATION will cast its ballots for Senator Platt.
In case New-York and New. Jersey are strong for
Depew, then 1t is possible that this little State Of
ours will cheerfuy follow suit However, 1t is my
impression that the nomination will go to western
man. II there is strong and persistent contest
between the Harrison and Gresham forces, then /

should look toward Michigan and select Ager Blaine

1T ~ ENGLISH, you KNOW.

In an able article on the wrong done
to the producing classes by the demone-
t~ization Of silver, and the enormous de-
probation in the value Of everything
but gold and debts which has followed
from that crime against the people, the
Courier Journal furnishes the following
instructive figures:
"The whole philosophy of the scheme
is illustrated by a fact taken from the
trade record of England, the leading
champion OF single. standard money. In
1887 England imported %, 99S, $40 tons
of merchandise, mainly raw material
like cotton) and food %stuffs, but in 1872
her total imports of those commodities
amounted to IL, 905, $40 tons. The diff
ference was S,093, $40 tons, or 4G per cent,
and yet this entire increase of her pur-
chases. mainly of articles of our Amer
lean production, cost her only only $780,
206, $40. The increase Of S,093, $40 tons
cost her about S4 so a ton, while the
cost OF those commodities in 1872 was 500
per ton. But on this increase Of S, 093, $40
tons in imports, which cost England only
thirty-six million dollars, she increased
her exports OF merchandise from 10, 24S,-
352 tons in 1872 to 30, III, 436 tons in
1887, a gain of 81 per cent, with an in
crease of SIP, 900. 900 in the export VAL
ues against $50, 900, 900 in import val
ues. Nothing like it in magnitude or
it's infinite wickedness as a scheme for
the wholesale pillage of the millions for
the enrichment Of the millioDaires has
ever been witnessed in any age of the
world"
OF course the debt owners OF the
United States are all strong supporters
of the single gold standard theory be-
cause it increases the value of their in
come and their holdings Of bonds and
other evidences of indebtedness, but the
people still have the power to protect
themselves by appropriate legislation
and they should do it by restoring silver
to entire legal equality with gold. If
this country would take the lead the
problem would be solved, for all the
nations of Europe, with the possible ex.
ception OF England. would be compelled
in self.defense to follow our example.

A Washington special of a recent date
saws; 10 accordance with the usual Gus
tom the Senate will, Of course, be con
yened in special session early next March,
Immediately following the expiration OF
the present Congress. No matter how
the Presidential election may result this
special session will be necessary. Should
President Cleveland be reelected his cab
met must be reappointed, and should
General Harrison win the Senate will be
called together to assist him in organizing
his administration. II the Republicans
elect their Presidential ticket they will
be almost sure to control the Senate. II
they lose the Presidential election they
are likely to lose the control OF the Sen
ate. At all events the next Senate will
be very nearly equally divided politically.
The terms Of twenty.six Senators, thir.
teen Democrats and thirteen Republi.
cans, will expire on the 81 of next March.
OF the outgoing Republicans the first
State in the list, alphabetically, is that

Colorado, is willing to accept another

men who are wiling and anxious to take

that State are thoroughly imbued with

Bowen was a Brigadier.G General in the
cause Of the Union, and a good fighter,
Notwithstanding his genial nature. He
has contributed as much as anybody else
toward making the Centennial State Re-

like pyrotechnic display. He is alert in
the interest Of his constituents, and when
they let him know that they want some

Senator Dolph of Oregon, though not

There may be a contest for the place, but
as Dolph has made an excellent Senator,
and has fully served his State, he will
probably be returned.

DENIES 1T.

Ell Congressman Barclay Henley has
been accused Of going over to the Repub'
leans on account Of the tariff. The story
originated in Washington and was sent
out among the associated press dis
patches. 1t was alleged that Mr.. Hen.
ley had written to Congressman Morrow
of California that he was going to vote
against the Democratic National ticket.
Mr.. Henley himself promptly denied any
change Of political heart. And now m
Congressman Morrow saying that he
never received any such letter from Mr..
Henley. This makes a pretty clear case
that Mr.. Henley is still in the Democratic
fold. In the meantime he got q good deal
Of free advertising before the facts were

MIR. BIaina,n Reeentian.

The Virginia Chronicle says that
James G. Blaine holds the same relations
to the Republican party this year that
Samuel J.. Tilden did to the Democratic
party in 1880. Though not a candidate,
he could have had the nomination if he
would have accepted it. and he is, there
fore, Of more Importance to the rank and
file of the party than General Harrison
or any other man, whether in politics or
out.
In view Of these facts it is no wonder
that the Republicans all over the coun-
try are making ready to give him a big
reception when he reaches New York
early this month. As the acknowledged
party leader for the past Is years. and
the foremost preacher Of high tariff gos-
pei, he deserves all the adulation they
can give him. General Harrison is now
writing his letter Of acceptance, but the
words he pens in Indiana will not have
half the weight with the party that
those will have which Mr.. Blaine utters
when he goes on the stump.
In the coming Republican h~ippodrome
Benjamin Harrison and his immortal
grandfather will be mere side shows.
The big pavilion tent will be reserved for
the man from Maine. and thitber all the
men who believe in dear clothing and
cheap whisky will flock.

l.ONa SESSION.

II now looks like Congress would not
be able to adjourn before the middle of
September. The consideration of the
tariff by the Senate utterly precludes an
earlier adjournment. This is going to be
one Of the longest sessions in the history
of the Government. Both parties are
trying to make the most of the tariff in
view of the Presidential election. The
tariff is not a one.sided affair in the East.
The Senate was afraid to adjourn without
making some sort Of an effort to reduce
the surplus. Both parties promised in
their platforms in 1884 to revise and mod.
ify the tariff. This is why the Senate is
now taking hold of the subject. The
papers say that the National Republican
Executive Committee endorses the course
Of the Republican Senators. There are
votes both ways on the tariff in the East.
