congress. That is, provided the DEM
ocrats select free coinage as well as
tariff reform candidate which they will.
Mr.. Ingalls, head is horizontal on the
silver coinage question, but perpen-
dicular on the leading part he sup
poses the Alliance will enact in 1892.
Having been defeated by that ascot
alton of agriculturalists the distorted
vision Of the ex senator conjures up
in the organization big hobgoblln
which in reality is not as terrible as
he pictures it. He asserts the ALI.
ance will cast 5000 votes in Ohio in
the campaign Of 1892, and that it is
marching on in like proportion IN
other parts Of the country.
But the fact seems to be forgotten
by Mr.. ingalls, that no secret political
society ever had any but temporary
success in this country, Know
Nothingism for instance. 1t Is not
the Alliance itself, but the principles
on which it is organized that will cut
q big swath in the presidential race
next wear. As the majority of these
principles are identical with the aims
of the Democrats the great body of the
Alliance, which has so frightened Mr..
ingalls,, will in all probability be
found marching under the Demo-
cratic banner to a glorious and over
WIDENING victory.

WHAT EX-SENATOR INGALLS, SAYS.

Whatever else may be said of Mr..
ingalls, none will deny his shrewdness
a. q politician, no less than his thor
ough acquaintance with public opin-
ion in the west. Being a politician,
it has been part Of his trade to watch
the drift of popular sentiment, and he
is probably correct in his recent dec
1aration that if the Republicans in
1892 nominate an anti-silver coinage
candidate they cannot carry two states
west of the Alleghanies. II this be
true of the Republicans why not OF
the Democrats3 If Ingalls, is right the
denomination of Harrison, which i.
now beginning to be generally con-
ssded, woald be as good a play as the
Democrats could desire, for Harrison
represents besides the anti-free coin
age sentiments OF his party the cor.
ruption, excuses, the McKinleyism
and other enormities of the billion

THE San Antonio Express says:
"Senator Farwell, who has become
widely known as the man with a
mouth, says that the Texas capitol
cost twenty millions OF dollars, be-
cause the three million acres OF land
paid for it is now worth that much.
Mr.. Farwell is in the real estate bust
ness, and Intentionally exaggerates
the worth of his possessions. The
land when he secured it was valued
at fifty cents an acre. 1t Is now
worth, all around, about two dollars
per acre. Taking the values obtain
ing at the completion of the capitol
as a basis, the building cost the state
about So, 100000 1t cost the con-
tractors just about that much. They
have made money because OF the in
eyitable rise in the price of Texas
lands. They have specialized sue
cessiully, that's ALL" Doubtless the
ex.United States senator meant that
land was worth that much TO him
to hold it. There can he no question
but both the state and the capitol
