But these leaders differ about the sill


YER question. Messrs. sherman and
Mckinley believe that it will not and
cannot be kept out of the presidential
election, and will prove an important
element in Republican success. Messrs.
Vest and Mills both manifest the utmost
anxiety to have this issue kept out OF
the presidential contest, ayowcdly on
the ground that the Democrats can win
on the tariff alone, and atterward can
do what they please about silver.
Their anxiety discloses their belief that
on the silver question alone, or if that
enters as ar important element into the
canvass, the Democrats will be defeated.
They hold that Massachusetts and New
York, even with the local issues which
diverted attention, gave Democratic
maiorltles only because the party there
refused to ayow the purposes ofthe party
at the West and South. 1t Is perhaps
all the more evident because they do
not say that they believe the Democrats
will be beaten at the West, the Farmers
Alliance having proved a broken reed,
and can Oniv win in Eastern states bv
getting rid of the silver issue entirely.
But how is it to get rid OF that issue =?
There is no possibility of getting the
question settled and out Of the way be-
fore the election comes. The dream of
Messrs. Vest and Mills that it can some
how be thrust aside, and the people
persuaded 10 intrust 10 the Democratic
party absolute power to settle IT, In the
notion that they are really voting on the
tariff question only, ls as foolish as any
political calculation can be.
Some Political Pointers.
Senator Voorhees, contributes q long
and vigorous article TO ole OF the cur
rent magazines in favor of free silver,
thus limiting to the Democratic party
that ii might do worse than to nominate
him for President Gi0bc- Democrat.
The Hon. Calvin :. Brice does not
spend all his time chasing rainbows.
Just now he is trying to compel the
citizens of Dayton, O., to pay -
cents for natural gas, which he agreed
TO furnish for 10 cents. It is the hard
substantial, aud almighty dollar that
Mr.. Brice is chasing with the greatest
zeal and enerLy, ana 1t may be SAID III
passing that his efforts in this direction
have been more succcsstlt! than his pur-
suit of the elusive rainbow Chicago

There is one thing to be remen-
bered. Some Alliance leaders open
ly proclaim their purpose to OPP
pose Mr.. Cleveland by every means
in their power if he should be nOmi-
mated by the Democrats. President
Polk has declared that he should stump
North Carolina against that candidate,
and the Democratic plurality in 1883 was
only 5000 there. In Virginia 1T was
| only l, 800, and in West Virginia only
500. In these and other Southern
states it would not take very
great diversion of Democratic votes Ia
| the Alliance to give the Republicans q
plurality, and the prospect that Mr..
Cleveland's nomination will be peculiar
| lv offensive to Democratic voters who
have sympathized with the Alliance
| is therefore one not to be overlooked.
