From the "howlings" of the third

In the very nature of things, how
ever, this is impossible. The most
they can hope for is to defeat the

is made up Of full fiedged Repnb-
licans and Independents, with a
sprinkling of about one-twentieth
from the Democratic party. 1t is

creased, the number of delegates
fell of, except in Ohio and Indiana,
from which came forth number
of old Gresnbackers. The con-
trolling mass of the convention
came from q section where interest
on money was high because securi-
ty for repayment was poor, and
where the bad crops of the last
two or three years and the low
prices for the last six have made it
impossible for the borrowers to
pay interest or principal of their
debts But the people of the
United States did not force them
to move to Western Kansas, into
the semi-arid region or to borrow
money at enormous rates of interest
with which to go into the farming
business. They did it of their own
motion, expecting that they would
prosper; but the weather was
against them. There was too much
wind and sunshine, and not enough
rain. When they borrowed they
looked on the workingmen, school
teachers and clerks of Massachusetts,
who loaned them their money de-
posted in savings banks, as their
friends-the ones who had given
them q chance to become indepen-
dent. They look on them now as
thieves and robbers, and are plan
ming how they may swindle them
out of their money and yet keep
the mortgaged farms by paying
them in worthless fat shinplasters.
Their morals are 30 corrupted by
drought that they seem to think
their objects praiseworthy, and call
on men all over the Union to join
them in paying their debts also in
fat shinplasters. This is all there
is to the new Peoples party and
the ''ukase" money it demands"
Let the Republicans howl If
the new party means war between
the West and the East, so be it.
This Is none of our affair. So long
as it was was on the South, it was
all right with our friends of the
Tribune's stripe. But If there is
to be war hereafter it must be be-
tween sections which do not include
the South. There will be an en-
tirely new deal. While the rumpus
is in progress, we of the South will
stay at home and saw wood, and
our resources. The other
fellows are going to have the fun
Of fighting.

Another scandal has cast the
shadow of its black wings over this
immaculately clean and honest ad-
minstration. Russell Harrison, not
satisfied with travelling more than
nine thousand miles free, with
meals and refreshments included,
on the Presidents Special" has
been writing letters to railroad
managers in all sections of the
country begging for free passes for
himself over their roads. Bah. It
is almost nauseating a spectacle as
that presented by the Prince of
Wales in q London court room,
where he appears as q witness
against one of his friends charged
with cheating at cards. Since
when has being the Presidents son
given a man the right to ride free
on railroads while ordinary folks
have to buy tickets? In furnishing
the President with . royalty equip
ped special train free, the railroads
of course had q right to expect in
return official favors; but what can
Russell Harrison give them in re-
turn for tickets furnished him?
Secretary Gardner, of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic
Clubs, whose word always "goes"
here, where everybody knows him,
says there was not q particle of
truth In the statement published
that the executive committee of
which he is q member, had met in
New York last week for the pur-
pose of booming Senator German
for the Presidential nomination.
He says: II have no recollection
of that gentleman's pane being
called, and / know that there was
nothing said or done that could be
construed as intended to create
sentiment in favor of Gorman or
any other man for the Presidency.
It is the object of tho association
of clubs to work for the men nomi-
mated BY the party, not to take any
part in their nomination. It CO.
operates with the regular organiza-
ton of the Democratic party in
support of Democratic men and
Democratic measures. It does not
prescribe platforms, but ratifies
them; it does not nominate candi-
dates, but supports them. Its ma
tional conventions are, in virtue
of its constitution, help after, not
before, nominating conventions, and
the attempt to make it appear that
this little business meeting was in
the nature of q Gormsn boom is
