FoRAKER,s KNIFE.

Gov. MCKINLEY became quite posi-
tive that it was not his time to come
iuto the presidential ring after the For
AKER fellows had played the cruel trick
upon him ia the Republican state COM
mittee. He was solicited to allow his
name to be used as the selection of the
committee for temporary chairman of
the coming state convention. As gov
ernor of the state and embodiment of
the chief dogma of the party, no petty
differences growing out of his prefer
ence for SHERMAN in the sen atorial
fight would be supposed to stand in the
way of the graceful tender to him of
this small honor. But when the test
came the knife was rudely in
serted in his ribs. He was thrown
aside. He was put forward but
to be Inundated. Then the DO
ltical sandbaggerS shrleked for Joy
in his discontinue. 1t was easy
then for him to see that he was for
HARRISON, and had no aspirations to
attempt the favorite son role. The in
cident illustrates the revengeful dis
position of the men in control of the
party in that state. FORAKER INDY
have put his knife out of sight, as he
intimated after his defeat for senator,
but it is easily eXhumed.

DOES THEM GOOD.

Several persons who have been in
cited to participation in the athletic exer-
cises that have been the fashion in this
community recently have expressed sur
prise and qualification at the increased
vigor and strength they are feeling.
Few can be induced to take time from
their business to get out of the ruts of
their daily life without some other slim
ulant than mere physical needs. Con-
sequently, the elements of fellowship
and amusement are requisite. The fire.
Quent deaths of those prominent in pub
lie affairs or business from oyerwork are
having effect in leading men to see their
need. A club among these classes re-
Gently formed in Boston has ironclad
rules requiring every member to par
ticipate Ill the stated periods of recre-
alton. Heavy fines or loss of member
ship are the penalties of abstention.
Recently, as the members were starting
for day upon the water, one man was
found missing, and the club marched in
a body to his place of business and
dragged him away by force, and mulcted
him in fine for the expenses of the
day. That may be a more exacting
regimen than many can afford, but it is
the fact visible to many that something
more than mere sanitary poStulateS are
needful to induce the average business
and professional man to diversity life
in pursuance of physical needs.

A FoREGoNE CONCLUSION.

The withdrawal of Senator CULLoM

nificance, except as showing that HAIR
RIsoN's nomination is inevitable. CUL
LON never had the ghost of chance.
but man or two like him in the field
might avail to hold together what op-
position there is and throw it at the end
to the help of some dark horse. But
now there are left these three-poor,
crazy BLAIR, "Gen." ALGER and BEN
JAMIN HARRISON, SCARED from his
fierce conflict with the Chilians. The
greatest of these is HARRISON.
The outlook, therefore, is that the
Minneapolis convention will be a tame
affair, and that if there Is any contest Mt
all it will be over the vice presidency.
The Indiana lawyer will be named to
head the ticket because there is no one
to compete with him for the distinction,
and the Republicans will go into the
fight with the prestige of neither en-
thusiasm nor obseurity. Since political
parties have existed in this ecu ntry in
the contemporary sense, three men, and
three men only, have been reelected to
the nations chief magistracy. One OF
these was ANDREW JACKSON, another
was ABRAHAM LINCOLN and the third
was ULYSSES S. GRANT. The enemy is
defeated ALREADY when it presumes to
ask for the present incumbent an honor
which has been denied all but these
great leaders.

A GROMNG MAN.

When one takes up Chicago paper
these mornings, he is apt to run across
the name of WILLIAM r. MERRIAM.
No Windy City enterprise now seems
complete without him. One day he be-
comes director in new bank, another
day he buys hotel, or is said to, and
the next day he takes out permit to
erect row of houses in the heart of the
Western metropolis. Do these things
mean that the governors affections are
being alienated from the land of his
birth? Has he grown tired Of trying to
solve the problem, Chow are three men
70 be fitted into two places without
murder?" Is he going to leave the field
to DAVIS and NELSON and migrate TO
Illinois? The GLOBE does not think
so. 1t believes in his loyalty to Mime
sofa and his confidence in his own
destiny. 1t is not without hope that
our senior senator will consent to take
the seat Judge BRADLEY has vacated.
He will stay at home and fight it out.
But he does not promise to confine his
energies to the limits of Il single com
monwealth. WILLIAM r. MERRIAM is
a growing man, and he needs room for
his wings. After a bit Chicago itself
will not be big enough to hold him, but
for the present it is doing what it can
to keep him busy. This is very kind in

A CHICAGO BANQUET.

If the temper of the IroquoiS club is an
index, the Chicago Democracy IS solid
for CLEVELAND. 1t is going to give a
banquet on JEFFERsON's birthday, and
the programme and the bill of fare have
been published. There will be five
courses of food and ten brands of wine,
and volts of enthusiasm powerful
enough to propel an interurban motor
loaded to the gunWale. In the midst of
all this the choicest Democratic doc
trineS will be served in full flagonS by
famous orators from abroad. The list
of these is long but eloquent. The
GLOBE does not notice among this
number the name of the Hon. BoURKE
COCHRAN, nor that Of the Hon. SYCA-
MORE VOORHEES,, nor of Speaker CRISP,
nor that of Senator PUGH, nor that of
the late Silver Dollar BLAND. nor those
of the other gentlemen who are popu-
larry reported to oppose the candidacy
of Mr.. CLEVELAND. On the contrary,
the orators will be Don NJ. DICKINSON,
who was a cabinet officer under the last
Democratic administration; SIIERMAN
HoAR. the Massachusetts mugwump
who deserted the Republican party be-
cause of the tariff issue, and JOHN DE
WITT WARNER, a leader in the anti
silver wing of the Democracy and the
aggressive foe of DAVID B. HILL. The
people who talk about the West as
though it were enamored of economic
heresies had better look up these facts.

POPULAR GOVERNMENT.

If any one wants an argument for
popular government he has only to
look at the German empire. 1t is a no.
torious fact that the blood of the HoHEN-
ZoLLERNS is tainted with the virus of
an awful malady. The great uncle of
the present emperor was insane. His
father died after years of the greatest
suffering, leaving to his son the heritage
of diseased body, of which he gives
evidence every day. And yet on the
caprice of this young man, distraught
with physical pain, probably OCCASION
ally unaccountable for his actions.
rest the prosperity and happiness of
millions of people. Under a monarch
ical system no relief is at hand for such
a condition of affairs. If king does
wrong it takes a revolution or an as
sassin's dagger to end his career. In
America when public officer makes
himself offensive we impeach him. Or

FAIRNESS TO ALL.

Many people see no reason why any
state should have the monopoly of a
man who has a national reputation.
They insist that if the Democrats in
controlling numbers want MIR. CLEVE-
LAND nominated, the fact that the dele
cation from his state does not present
his name should not be influential. 1t
would be ali anomalous condition, should
there be substantial unanimity for the
eX-president outside of New York, and
that state persist in advocating another
name. 1t is believed there is no prec-
edent for such situation. No party
has nominated man who was denied
the vote of his own state. AT the first
glance the view taken by WATTERsoN
and other veteran and h0nored Demo
Gratis seems the rational one. They ac-
cept the easy claim that the disregard
of the expression of the party in New
York-for the action of the regular con-
Vention must be accepted as the voice
of the party-would endanger the vote
of the state. They find instances where
the party has divided and been beaten
in New York. No judicious leaders
would wish to leave the thirty-six votes
of that state out of the Democratic col
umn if they can be retained there by
conservative and courteous action. The
national contest cannot be expected
to follow the track of the CONFUSION of
1890. 1t can only be won by the Demo
Gratis by wise and polite action in the
shaping of issues and the selection of
candidates. Courtesy requires full and
candid consideration of the views and
wishes of the Democrats of New York
and other states that may have local ia
yoriteS. 1t is unwise to question their
good faith to the party Or its rincipleS.
The freeSt liberation to all should be
had. Disparagement of any names
likely to be presented to the convention
is impolitic and productive of injury.
1t is not TO be presumed that the New
York delegation is coming to Chicago
to assist any one. There should
be no caYil at its course in
presenting its choice and support
ing him by all honorable methods,
That is the privilege and right of al
Democrats. When they have done that
the convention will deliberate and de-
eide. There should be no hesitancy in
believing that its action will be cordially
accepted and its nominee handsomely
supported by the party in every state.
Should the two-thirds majority of the
convention believe that the good of the
party ana the country would be best
promoted by the nomination of Mr..
CLEVELAND, it would be an impeach-
ment of the party loyalty and good faith
of the New York Democracy to suppose
that there would be any heSitancy
in accepting the result and giving
the ticket hearty support. Matters of
courtesy and precedent must not be put
above the general coed, in the deliberate
Judgment of the convention. The fact
that the popular currents are flowing
toward the ex-president so palpably
should abate any disposition to dispar-
age other favortes, or the action Of
their friends. They can best afford the
largest liberation and freedom from I'M
kindIiness. The victory can most surely
be won by calmness and good feeling
among political associates.
