 cents in gold. The alliance ought to study.
 If the truth is told, the Farmers alliance methods of choosing candidate are pecu- liar. When they meet and commence bal loting for their candidates, always under the sign and the password, every member votes as his fancy or his inclination die tates. Should there be dozen, more or less, candidates brought forward upon this informal ballot, each one is required to come forward, and in five minutes tell his relations to alliance principles, but he must not appeal for votes. Then the first formal ballot is taken. If all these candi- dates receive votes, a second ballot is or dered immediately, the candidate receiving the lowest number of votes being dropped. This continues without interruption until there remain but two candidates, when the result is reached and the choice of the eau GUS is determined.

SHERMAN INTERVIEWED

Concerning Reciprocity. the Tariff Bill
and tae Elections Bil.
New York, Sept. 15.-"Yes, believe
the time has come for reciprocity with
Canad3l,' said Senator John Sherman to
reporter, He was asked: Was not
your reciprocity resolution in the senate
somewhat of IL surprise to many n
81 cannot say that it was. Some such
resolution, | believe, is now before the
foreign relations committee Of the
house. Ii my resolution is not acted
upon this session, think it will be
next, and reciprocity with Canada will
soon be brought about. 1t might have
been tackled on to the tariff bill as an
amendment, but | scarcely think it
would have been germane. 1t would
haye required long debate, and delayed
the passage Of the tariff bill"
"Then you think it only question of
time when reciprocity viii exist be-
tween this country and Canada?"
1t is only question Of short time.
The people Of this country, / think. are
in favor cf reciprocity, and | believe
that more than majority of the Cana
dians desire it. The resolution is one
that will require mutual advances, and
when it Is to the interest Of two coun-
tries to have unrestricted trade and
commercial relations it will not take
long to make the advances.
The Tariff Eiil.
"Do You think the tariff bill will pass
this session.
Yes, l do. Some few changes may
be made by the conference of both
houses, probably, but the tariff bill will
go through"
Election Bill.
What about the passage of the cleo
ton bill this session.
THE election bill will not be passed
this session Congress, l think, will
adjourn about the lst of October"
Is Keeping Mum.
1T is said, senator, that you do not
intend to be candidate for reelection
to the senate. Is it true?'
Il do not care to talk on the subject.

Of them are opposed to the reciprocity
amendment They rejected it five
months ago when Secretary Blaine first
urged its incorporation in the tariff bill,
and they still speak lightly of it.
But out of l01 other Republicans in
teryiewed, only three avowed them
selves antagonistic to reciprocity; Of
thirty-eight Democrats twenty EIGHT for
while only seven opposed it, five of
whom voiced their convictions in opposi-
tion to any movement in that direction
short of universal reciprocity CT abso-
lute free trade The multiplicity of
plans proposed for the inauguration of
reciprocal relations with American ma
tions, and the lack Of time and oppor-
tunity to digest the propositions con-
tained in them led twelve Republicans
out Of the total number to express
doubts. in general way, as to the prac-
ticability of the measure.
These Republicans, with the Demo-
Gratis are open to conviction, their
