of Calderwood. So far as known, any
other candidate for the place of guardian

son in either party that Calderwood has
been other than good official. A re-

the Local Republican
Party.
Potter Seems to Have Most Of
the Delegates by the
Nose.

Good Show Of Win
ming Out.
Foote Appointed the County
and Judicial Committees
Yesterday.

Minneapolis Republicans who are
ever anxious to be considered shrewd
political guessers, and whose ambition
1t is to be on the winning side in politi-
cal contests, are already getting their
vocal organs into shape for the emission
of the word Potter, with emphasis. The
Fourth ward alderman seems about to
slide into the first place on the Republi-
can city ticket as easily as if the way
were creased with his own butter. Pot
ter certainly has the majority of the
delegates, but only because scarcely
any one else is in the field. His hope
for success is based solely upon
Loren Fletcher's refusal to run, and
upon d. NJ. Clough's retirement from
the fight. The situation is not unlike
that which confronted the Democrats a
few weeks ago. Potter has been work
ing with every pound of steam that his
boilers would bear for the nomination.
His friends have been in every precinct
in the city and the name of Potter has
been dinned into the ear of the voter
until the intelligent ffeeman's brain
has been able to respond only to the
name of Potter. Every man above
twenty-one years of age ate, drank and
thought OF Potter, and at night his
sleep was haunted with visions of Pot
ter. Despite his persistence and perSe-
verence the enegetic Potter may yet fall
through himself. He has the delegates
but he has not the people. and the con-
vention will be doing nothing strange

WHAT WAS FEATHERSTON'S
 SHAREp

On the 26th ult., the National Economist, of Washington City, the official organ of the National Farm CTS Alliance and Industrial Union, contained the following paragraph, to-wit:
 The bond owners are now happy they have won the fight, and the bond, they now hold are payable, principal, interest, and premium, in gold only.i 1t would be inter c,tng to know just how many millions it took to force this bin through Cougrc.>. Men m these days of corruption and trick cry do not change their avowcd belief, and bctray their constituencies without consid- cmtion. l. will now be in order to placatc those whom they have 50 wckcdlv betrayed.
 Congressman Oates, of Alabama, is Democrat and a reader of the Economist. When his eye fell on this paragraph he construed il to be, what it in fact is, charge that the passage of the silver bill was the re- suit of bribery and corruption. He immediately introduced a resolution into the House to appoint commit tee of seven to investigate the charge, Speaker Reed the tyrant and usurper, ruled the resolution out of order, and refused to entertain it. MT. Oates appealed from the decis- ion, and on roll call the Speaker was sustained by vote of 9j to 1l. All the Democratic members from Ar kansas - McRae, Brcckinridgc, Rogers and Peel-yoted to ovcrrule the Speaker and entertain the resolu- tion MT Featherston, Clayton $ so-called Union Lahor Representa- tive, was in his seat, but refused to vote either way He had voted for the bill, and was one of the members who had SD "wickedly betrayed" their constituencies for a consid- eration.

T. c. McRAE'S WATCHFULNESS.

Hon. T. C. McRae, our able and efficient Representative in Congress, in another notable instance, has it. lustrated the watchful care and in- terest he takes in the peoples well fare, and the whole country should thank him for what he has done. We refer to resolution he introduced in the House recently, asking Secretary of Interior for information as to his issuing patents to lands to Union Pacific railroad. MT. McRae, ever on the lookout, discovered patents were being issued to lands to this railroad, which owes the government millions of dollars loaned to help build it, and titles to these lands have beon held back until debt was settled. As soon as he made this discovery he introduced the resolu- ton, which was promptly carried, and it is to be hoped thls steal will thereby he stopped.
 MT McRae is on the committee on public lands, and by his diligence, perseverance and watchful care, has done more good work therein than any other member of it. is known in and out of Congress as the leading member of it. Press and people of the whole country have time and again commended public services rendered by him on this committee. The district and State are honored in MT McRae, and are justly proud of him.

TT CHARGES BRIBERY.

The National Economist is power in the land. Everybody should read it. Published at Washington, D. C,-[Dispateh.
 Especially it's charge that Feather ston was bribed by the bondholders to vote for the bill lately passed to demonetize and stop the coinage of silver The National Economist is the national organ of the Farmers Alliance. In the last issue it shows precisely what the PIcAYrNE showed last week, to-wit, that the effect or result of Mir. Featherston vote with the Republicans for the bill to de- monetize and stop the coinage of silver, has been to deprive the Gov ernment of the right to pay the prin- cipal, interest or premium of the bonds in anything but gold. The Economist also openly and boldly charges bribery by the bondholders aganst Mir. Featherston and the rest of the Republican gang" who voted for the bill. And on last Thursday Mir. Featherston sat in his seat and refused to vote on a resolu- ton offered by MT. Oates, Demo- crat from Alabama, to investigate the charge All the rest of the Ar kansas members voted for it.
 It is proper to observe also in this connection that MT. Featherston s vote on the silver bill has received the unqualified endorsement and ap- proval of the Prescott Dispatch, notwithstanding the National Econo- mist denounces it as an abject sur render to the money power, and openly charges it to bribery by the bondholders.

as his share of the poodle. We be- lieve. with the Economist, that cor rupt influences were exerted to pro- cure the passage of the bill. MT. Featherston may have received money. We have no confidence Tn any man who will islander his own State, or misreprcsent any State, as he has slandercd and misrepresented Arkansas. But we have no idea that he received any poodle in this case. His vote on the silver bill was simply given, like all his votes upon party issues. in discharge or fulfillment of his obligation to Powell Clayton and Poker Jack Mcclure for inducing the Republican majority in the House to turn Judge Cate out and seat him in his stead.
 The same sort of service may be expected of all State and county of ficers endorsed, supported and elec- ted by the same men through the so- called Republican State and County Conventions.
 Vote for men who are free, and will continue to hold themselves free, from the baleful influences of Powell Clayton and Poker Jack Me Clure. Such men can be found only on the Democratic ticket.

STAND UPi

MT. Featherston. The Prescott Dispatch, Goy.(D Norwood, o. 5. Jones, Capt Matt White and C. NJ. Buchanan. Stand up; You gentle men. and q few others, are the bosses. You arrogatc to yourselves the especial championship of the rights of the farming community. You unblushingIy try in various ways, and perhaps sometimes by open assertion. to make the impress ion on the people that you are au- thorized to speak for the Farmers Alliance.
 But, notwithstanding these pro- fcssions of fidelity to the farming community. and in the face of these pretensions of close relationship to the Alliance, you, Mr. Featherston, voted to dcmonetize and stop the coinage of silver, and to deprive the Government of the right to pay the bonds Tn anything but gold. And you, Prescott Dispatch, Gov. CD Norwood, Capt. Matt White and C. NJ. Buchanan, have publicly declared your unqualified endorsement and approval of that vote.
 Therefore, each of you will remain standing while the PICAYCNE quotes to you, as a sentence. the following editorial from the last issue of The National Economist, the official or gan of the National Farmers Ali ance and Industrial Union, to-wit
 The silver bill is an unfortunate piece of legislation in many respects. It will make the hopeful Respondent and the hopeless more desperate. The people felt sure that Congress would grant them free coinage of silver. for this they had petitionei by the thousands, and urged by letter and through the press. Their demands have been ignored and their petitions thrown into the waste basket, and many who have heretofore doubted the power of money and plntocracy to dictate legislation will be firmly con yinced by the passage of this bill Never before has u surrender to Wall Street been more abject and complete Never before . h.- kt.

Men whom the people have trusted have betrayed them, and an unseen power has robbed them of free coinage of silver at time when success was almost within thelr grasp. How long will such condition. last
 This is sufficient. No more testi- mony is needed to prove that Mr. Fcathersten has betrayed the people. His guilt is established,
 And this same testimony also proves the perlidy of the above named bosses, who. in notorious in- consistency with their professions of interest in the welfare of the farmer, and utter disregard of their preten- sons to relationship with the All lisnce, have publicly sanctioned and applauded Mir.
