;paringly by his party throughout TIE

and straddling on this question which
some of their leaders recommend. and
which was carried out for many years
on the tariff question.
Ii the democrats nominate neither
cleveland nor Hill next year. they will
give the ''go-by" to New York altogeth,
Ter. They will not take whitney. for he
is 50 close to Cleveland that his candi-
liacy would arouse most of the fractional
antagonism which Cleveland's own nom,
lination would cause, and which the
democrats know would prove fatal q
them in that state and throughout the
country.
Mr.. Mills keeps pegging away in the
Imaiter of the speakership. with the
lchances in his favor. apparently: but the
fact that he is entitled to the place will
probably Dcat him in the end, as his
Irarty has the habit of bastowing its
honOrs upon those who do not deserve

\ party of prominent democratic pol
lIticlans will start from New York Sep,

| The London News declares that 1.-THE
farmers of America are masters of the
situation" in view of the short crops in

| like to make them believe that they are
without any source of hope or comfort
in the world.
The Pennsylvania ticket is not boss
made. but the bosses are wise enough

lent. if he will simply consent to be the
candidate.
The exports of provisions during July
amounted to 50, So, 545: and II the DEM
ocrats can find in these figures any sign
that the Mckinley tariff law is having
A bad effect, let them hasten to point it
out.
Those New York importers who are
talking about sending $500, 900 to Ohio
to defeat Mckinley have a perfect right
to squander their money in that way II
they want TO: but they must expect to
bs laughed at for their want Of common
sense.
Mr. Cleveland has lost more friends

dodge the silver question, but it was
not expected that they would dodge the
tariff. too, as they are doing.
Senator PETER is making speeches in
PENNSYLVANIA, not intentionally for the
benefit of the republican party. but
with that inevitable effect, all the same.
Speaking of that ''billion dollar con-
