The ea.lock for silver.

Senator Stewart declares that Presi- dent Cleveland rested his chances of of reelection upon ths expectation of receiving ths electoral votes of the Solid South, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. He believes that the belders of fixed capital in the three northern states named above had promised to carry those states, says the Salt Lake Tribune, and he ayers that they all worked for Cleveland, Democrats and Republicans alike. For this, the President compelled the St. Louis convention to refuse ts .n- sert one word about silver in their platform, though very many of them were ardent silver advocates. He holds that this demonstrates that New York has ceased te be pivotal state that it's mighty power has at length been permanently broken; that in a square struggle it was beaten by the Mississippi Valley snd far west states, and the deciding cause was silver. This not only releases General Harri- sen from all obligations to fixed capi- tai, but points directly ts the fact that tue Preslssnt-slect must give silver fuli recognition if he would make his administration success, if he ever drsauis of succeeding himself. Ths mortgages on the Mississippi Valley farms have become an insuppertable burden because at the point to which the products sf the farm have beeams rsdncSd, there IS nc margin left of prstit ts tue fsrmer, and ihe enly prospect ef relief frsm this is through ths restoration of silver 10 its old com nansing position as full msasurs ef values.
