THE r.IENDs OF SILVER.

All that the free silver men, the free
traders and the South want is to get con.
troll; then they will attempt to put in
operation all the visionary schemes of
government with which they expert
mentsd upon the late defunot Southern
confederacy, and which proved so disas-
trous to il and to themselves. As in the
days of the rebellion, all the South asks
is to be let alone. Put the Democracy
in power and see how quickly free silver
would come to the front as this vital
question Of the day.-N. Y. Mail and
Express.
The Mail and Express is the most ran.
tankerous Republican organ in the United
States. But at the same time it is right
about Democrats being for free coinage.
The Republican party is the only obstacle
in the way Of that most desirable con-
summation. If there were no Republic
cans there would be no silver question,
because in that case the Democrats would
settle il in q day in the interest Of the
people. 1t would be q glorious thing for
silver il the Republican party could be
overthrow in every State in the Union.

WHAT MAR CAMPBELL,

Governor Campbell was in New York
the other day, when the World inter
viewed him on the cause of his defeat in
the late Ohio campaign. The Governor
stated that he had run about $4,000
ahead Of his ticket, as he had done two
years ago; that McKinley's plurality over
him was about 20, 900, while the average
pluralities of the other Republican candi.
dates for State officers averaged about
$4,000. considering" he said, 1.-THE
nature of the fight made by the Repub-
%licans. this is a very poor showing. The
Republican managers of Major McKin-
ley's canvass make no concealment Of the
fact that they had all the money they
could possibly use. Any one familiar
with Ohio campaigns will appreciate what
that statement conveys. An
examination Of the books at the Column
bus Postofice will show page after page
| Of registered letters for Chairman Hahn.
In fact the entire protected interests Of
the country were bled to help carry Ohio
for the Republicans. They received con
tributions from q distance of more than
| 1000 miles. All the great forces Of the
Republican party were concentrated in
that State. They practically abandoned
the contest in other States. To meet
this enormous outlay Of money and ire
nendous concentration Of forces by the
Republicans, we had nothing but very
limited resources to draw upon. 1t was
like q brigade fighting an entire army;
we had no assistance to speak Of outside
the State, and long before the campaign
| closed we could not have paid a mans
fare from here to Jersey City. We had
scarcely enough money to pay the post
age on the documents we sent out"

NOTHING In A LOCATION.

AS q political proposition it is probably
we'll that the Northwest has got the Re-
publican National Convention. II would
nowhere be more free from the influence
of personal ambitions, and some conces-
sion to that part Of the Union will do as
much good to the interests Of the Repub.
lican party, as q whole, as the location Of
a convention is capable Of doing.-Reno
Gazette.
That is very well said. There is moth.
ing in the location Of a convention.
Never in the history Of the country has
the vote Of q State been influenced by
the holding Of a convention within its
borders. and it is nonsense to permit
such considerations to figure in fixing Q
place. There may be advantages to can
didates in the matter Of local pressure,
but nothing beyond this is worth a mo-
ment's thought. The meeting of the
Republican convention in the Northwes.
will be in vain if it is expected to brine
that section back to the fold of the q. o.
D. II is out to stay until a modification
Of the tariff and the restoration of silver
are accomplished facts. The Democratic
party can hold the great Northwest by
simply being true to its colors and giving
the people a platform and a candidate
that represents it's principles.

THE HERALD FOR A WESTERN
MAN,

Ii is deeply significant that the New
York Herald declares that the Demo
cratic nominee for the Presidency next
year should come from the West. The
position OF the Herald would seem to in
dictate that in its Judgment neither Cleve.
land nor Hill can be safely relied upon
to carry New York, and that an outside
candidate would be stronger than either.
There can be no mistake that this senti.
ment largely obtains all over the
try and is growing. Governor Boies Of
Iowa would make a magnificent candi-
date and can win the fight without New
York. Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana,
Idaho and Nevada would all go for Boies
with a sweep. These, with the South,
would elect without help from the East.
But Boies would also be as apt to carry
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
as any eastern candidate. Following is
the manner in which the great ~independ-
emit New York Herald views the situa.
ton:
"Good men and able men are TO be
found in plenty. II is a mistake to aup-
pose that they all live on the seacoast.
The East is rich in candidates who wouid
serve the purpose, and so is the West.
The West not less than the East. 1t lie
a political superstition that only an East.
ern man can carry New York State. We
have had our share of the honors and are
quite ready to give other sections Of the
Union q chance. Indeed, the people pre-.
fer that the National Convention shall
get out OF the beaten track and fix on
some new man. They would vote for
such a man more freely than for either
Mr.. Hill or Mr.. Cleveland.
What the people want is q good, square
canvass conducted on its merits, and the
feeling is growing that a man from the
West would make q better showing than
any candidate from this region. If Hill
seeks the nomination, the cry will be
Tammany; il Cleveland demands il, the
cry will still be Tammany. II some u
outside Of New York is chosen, there
can be no such cry and we can 60 into
the fight on the great issues pure and
simple, without the drawback of local
prejudices. We should have . clean cut
canvass and no embarrassing questions to
answer.
"That Is what the people want, and
they don't want anything else. If the
National Convention is wise enough to
recognize that fact the Democratic party
will have as fair q chance TO win IS ii can
hope for. But if the Convention chooses
q hackneyed, moss covered candidate it
will become entangled in its folly and
learn, when il is too late, that il has
made a blunder at the cost of a victory
which it might have easily and surely
won,"

eighty under all circumstances

The Eureka SENTINEL thinks Governor
Boies of Iowa lie the most available man
the Democrats can nominate for Presi.
dent next year. The Independent agrees
with the SENTINEL, and believes that
with Horace Boies as our standard bearer
sufficient "fat" could not be fried from
the protected monopolists to defeat him.
He is sound on silver, while his views on
tariff reform are in line with the most
advanced thought on that question. The
mining States Of the West and the great
agricultural States of the Mississippi
Valley would rally round his standard,
and when the contest closed at the polls
we believe victory would perch on his
banner inscribed with the Free Coinage
of Silver and Tariff Reform. Give us
Boies for President and we will VIM

The Idaho penitentiary is not governed
by a reputable prison board, If the charges
which have been preferred are true. Not
long since there was q prize fight between
two convicts which created something OF
a sensation beyond border lines. So fierce
was the cry against the penitentiary ring
that an investigation, so-called, was held
and the usual withdrawing done. 1t was
found that prize fighting in the peniten-
tiary was necessary to preserve the NOR
ais Of the convicts, as physical exercise
went far towards developing the charac-
ter as we'll as the muscles Of q man. This
is all that was attended to by the board,
though il is charged by some Republican
papers, as we'll as by the Democratic
press that:
First, that the guards and employees
about the penitentiary are a lot Of dis
reputable drunkards.
"Second, that for the amusement OF
those wretches the most beastly pugilis-
tic encounters were tolerated and encour.
aged among the prisoners.
"Third, that the Warden Of the peni-
Tertiary is an ~absconding thief. This
charge is supported by solemn affidavit
Of reputable citizens.)
Fourth, that the Commissioners,
with a full knowledge Of the reputation
of the Warden, continue him in the ser
vice Of the State against the protest Of
all respectable citizens.
Fifth, that when compelled by public
sentiment to make an investigation, the
Commissioners in order to make q pre-.
tense, closeted themselves with the &C.
cused, and in the face Of reason and com.
mon decency, admonish the Republicans
that the party is in a precarious condition
and must keep quiet"
That is pretty tall talk, but the news
papers of both parties very generally say
it is true. If 30, Idaho's prison board is
on the wrong side. 1t ought to be on
the inside.

The present House consists Of 1893 men,

the Democrats have more than q two

q good deal Of independence among the

ders it impossible to forecast results in

on the more important public questions
that will receive consideration at the

that Stewart of Nevada and Teller and

for both parties to play for advantages
and accomplish nothing for the country.

CauLn Nor RUY IT.

We are rather glad thst San Francisco
could not buy the Republican National
Convention. The manner Of the contest
was enough TO disgust the staid, sober
people Of the East. The effort made by
San Francisco was Doodle, and nothing
but Doodle from the start. Il was pro
posed to pay everybody's fare to and
from the convention, and supply free
hash for the more prominent delegates
and officers Of the committee. To their
credit, the members OF the committee re-
fused the bride. California seems to have
no higher idea Of the proprieties than to
attempt to influence results by brsg,
buster, blow and Doodle. 1t lie time the
Golden State had outgrown these meth
DDS which may have been in q measure
excusable in the wild and woolly period.
She has outgrown il, but q set Of light
weights manage to push themselves into
prominence who do not realize the fact,
and continue to create q false impression
Of the true character OF the people Of the
State. The Democrats Of San Francisco
are to make q trial to secure the conven-
tion Of that party. We hope that the
committee that shall be sent on will not
go with Doodle and brass bands land
faces) as the Republican committee did.
We hope it will not propose to purchase
the convention by the payment OF either
past or future bills. We hope that if it
cannot win with dignifed arguments, il
they have any to offer, il will not win at
all. As q matter Of fact there are no ar
guments to offer from q Democratic stand.
point in favor Of San Francisco as a pro-
per place for the Democratic National
Convention. The Democrats have moth
ing to hope from California, and besides,
it is a gold bug State through and
through. IL is equally against Demo-
cratic policy on the tariff. Nevads's
member of the National Committee
should not vote for San Francisco. II
should be the policy Of this State to 60
with the convention to the great middle
States where silver has friends. Give it
to st. Louis or st. Paul or Chicago, or
some other central city.

Western Nevada papers accuse the En-
terprise, the leading Republican organ
Of this State. Of having abandoned the
claims Of silver at the dictstion Of ID. o.
Mills, who is one Of tie owners and agold
bug. Following is the article Of the En-
terprise which brought out this criticism;
Important IS is the silver question
in its bearing upon national affairs, it
will not be an issue in the Presidential
campaign. Possibly . few stupid papers
in strong silver communities having moth
ing to say will drop back into the past
and quarrel over the responsibility Of
their respective parties. Possibly. also,
the same class Of papers will vie with
each other in claiming for their respect
i've parties the greater friendship for sill
YER. This species Of pickering without
argument is about all there will be OF
the silver issue in the Presidential cam
psign. Neither party will adopt a silver
platform, nor will either party nominate
a silver nan for President. The Repub.
licans will nominate Harrison, who is q
gold man. Blaine, who was for q time
pushed BY the gold men, because it was
believed he would be strong enough to
hold Republican silver Senators in check,
is a scarcely supposable candidate, not
w~ithstsnding all the noise his friends
have madt mt even il he should be the
nominee, he is al , q single standard man
and would not ran on 3 free coinage
platform"
In the opinion Of the SENTINEL the
conversion is complete. II silver is not
a national issue, what is it? II Is more
than national; il is world wide. When
the people Of the mining States surren-
der before q blow is struck, what may
we expect from the East? The mining
States, If not composed Of slaves and
towards. can force recognition of the sill
YER question and keep ii to the front un-
til the right prevails. 1t is with them
selves to live or starve.

HE MUST BE A WESTERN MAN.

There seems to be o strong tendency
among Democrats in the East to renomi-
nate Mr.. Cleveland for President next
year. This implies that the tariff is to
be forced to the front as the main issue,
and that silver must take a back seat.
That will be the old fight Of 1888 over
again in which we lost. We risk moth
ing in saying that such a course must in
evitably prove fatal to Democratic sue
cess. We cannot win with Mr.. Cleve-
land on the single issue Of the tariff. The
Democratic party almost to a mar Is in
favor Of tariff reform and the free COIN
age Of silver. The candidate must rep.
resent the party on both Of these vital
issues. 1t will be remembered, as it was
q subject of great wonder at the time,
that Mr.. Cleveland made no Roadway in
the Northwest in 1888. It was because
of his known hostility to silver. While
the Northwest is now with us. il we pre-.
sent the right kind Of q candidate, Mr..
Cleveland can do no better there than
he did in his last race. By putting for.
ward q Western man we embrace all
of the chances Of success-the chance OF
winning both with and without New
York. With Cleveland we surrender the
Northwest and bank on the single State
Of New York, which ii is extremely
doubtful il he can carry. A Western
man, besides sweeping the Northwest,
would unite the waring factions in the
Empire State and stand . better chance
Of securing its electoral vote than any
candidate who can be named from that
State. Governor Boies Of Iowa is the
man whom the Democrats should run for
President. He is Q sure winner, while an
Eastern candidate, especially il he be op.
posed 10 silver, will be almost 3 certain
loser.
