very strong probability that constitu-

senate 1t is desirable to get rid Of several
embarrassing questions, and this Is thought
to be the proper way TO do so.
A strong lobby Of Wichita men are here
today trying TO revive the Carroll bill and
TO urge its passage in the senate. This bill
will be made the subject of a caucus in the
senate tomorrow evening There are, in
fact very few Of the senators who are per
sonally opposed to this bill; but they are
hampered by the resolutions in the last
Republican state platform. They regard
the Carroll bill as an attack on prohibi-
tion, and fear to disturb the settled policy
of the party, or what they regard as such.

And cool, thoughtful reasoning will

To help them to this line of reasoning

cannot add any wealth to the country,
or make any one richer, save those
who do the work incidental to stamp
ing and printing, or those who furnish
supplies of paper, ETC., or the silver.
They are the only ones that could be

than they have owed to them. And
only those interested in furnishing the
silver would be specially benefited, but
those silver holders of the world (were

The denomination or President
Harrison.
Mr.. Harrison's success in securing
denomination would have one great
public advantage. 1t would in
disputably invite the verdict of tine
country upon the conduct of the party
It is denied by many Republicans
that the election Of last autumn was
such verdict. But if elections can
ever be held to express public feel
ing, the reelection Of President Har-
rison, unless evidently due to support
of his position upon the silver ques-
ton, would proclaim the sanction of
the country for the Mckinley tariff,
for an election law, and for the post
ponement of civil service reform.
But this is the very lion in the Presi.
dents path. His denomination
would be such a distinct declaration
that the party meant to adhere stead
fastly to the general course which
the country has condemned that it is
very doubtful whether the leaders
would care to make it. The nominal
ton of another candidate could be
readily interpreted as a change of
front. Even if no real change should
be contemplated, the fact would be
less evident in another nomination.
If, for instance, Mr.. Robert T.
Lincoln should be selected, his
nomination would not be so distinct a
reafirmation of the force bill and the
Mckinley bill and a neglect of civil
service reform as that of the Presi-
dent. Moreover, if not in himself an
object of party enthusiasm, his name
is, and he is wholly free from any
factional ENHANCEMENT. Yet as there
