The Chicago Inter Ocean, comment
ing upon the disorder and confusion in
the convention, says: lit was outra'
geous that the men on the floor, at.
tempting to conduct the business OF the
convention in a decent manner, should
be Kissed and howled down by the mob
in the galleries. And yet this was SO
common an occurrence during the
Wednesday sessions that it became al
most universal where the minority was
concerned. The Chairman knew not
how to use his gavel with force to com
mand respect. He should have been
the ruler of the convention, but he be-
came the supplicant to the mob who
had no respect for him or his authority
Had he in the beginning followed the
example of Chairman Hoar in the Grant
convention of 1880, who sent the Ser
geant-at-arms and the police to the gal
leries with the command that they
should be cleared if insults were re-
peated, he would have been able ia
control the galleries to the extent OF
protecting the convention from insult

The Democracy has always contend
ed that any man worthy of considers
ton before its conventions must have
the Endorsement of his neighbOrs, yet
has, with its usual consistency, nomi-
mated for President man who could
not command single vote from his
own state. With an equal consistency,
Grover Cleveland has conveniently for
gotten his earlier political utterances
against giving second term to the
President, leaving no stone unturned
that might replace him in the Execu-
tive Mansion. And so, over and over
we learn the lesson that talk is cheap,
especially in political circles, and that
their so. called reformers are actuated
by the same personal ambitions and
swayed by the same selfish desires as
influence those who make fewer pre-.
tensions to absolute incorruptibility.

Free Trade Facts.

Whenever Continental Europe sends
messenger to America charged with a
commission to make study of our Ia
boring classes and truthfully report the
effect of protection upon our industries,
the word is carried back that America
is veritable poor mans paradise, and
that nowhere abroad is the workingman
so happy and prosperous. On the other
hand, whenever any of our citizens
cross the ocean to observe the indus
trial situation there, report comes to
us of poverty and oppression almost
akin to serfdom. Gen. George Sheridan
has been in Europe for the past five
months studying the labor question and
gathering materials in free trade Eng
land for use in the coming campaign,
during which he will stump the country
for Harrison and Reid. He returns
laden with information well worth the
attention of every patriotic American,
showing that the great free trade coun-
try is retrograding as far as prosperity
is concerned, and that laborers are un-
derpaid as compared with those of the
United States. To prove the difference
in wages between the two countries, he
says: IA gentleman whom / know has
cloth factory in Bristol, Pa, and one
in Bradford, England, and the opera
tives in this country receive three times
as much as in the free trade paradise.
In other words, the wages in the Penn.
sylvania factory are equal to II cents a
yard, and in Bradford to 4 cents a
yard" He also tells us that the tin
plate makers in Great Britain are great
ly elated whenever they read the state
ments of the Democratic press that we
cannot make tin here, and correspond
ingly depressed when they hear from
authentic sources that we are fast learn
ing how TO make tin-plate of the very
best quality. He AYERS that the ram
pant free traders in England all belong
to the aristocratic class, and that the
people who earn their living by the
sweat of their brows do not see how
they are being benefited by free trade,
and that feeling of distrust is daily
growing among them, SO that Lord Sal
isbuly voiced the sentiment of the
masses in his great protection speech.
Truly, we are glad to believe with Major
Mckinley that 1--WE have right to be
cheerful when Lord Salisbury has given
adherence to our political doctrine of
protection, and the New York Sun, in
its leading editorial column, interprets
the conclusion of the Chicago conven-
ton as the ratification of Benjamin
Harrison as President of the United
States" for, with his election the prin-
ciples of protection to American indus
tries will be perpetuated

The NORTHERNER has heretofore
called attention to the candidacy of
Sup't +. A. Wilson for place on the
ticket as a member of the State Board
of Education. Many of our exchanges
located in various parts of the state are
favoring his nomination and will natur-
ally exert a powerful influence toward
securing that reault. That he would
honor the Office and bring talent of a
high order to the discharge of its re-
sponsible duties, none knowing him
and his work as an educator will for a
moment doubt. He is well equipped i'm
every sense of the word for such work
as this Office would impose upon its in
cumbent. He is an unassuming, genial,
conscientious, painstaking, scholarly
man against whom not an objection can
be raised. Southwestern Michigan
ought certainly to unite in asking the
convention to extend to it this recogni-
ton; and we firmly believe, if asked
for, it will not be withheld. The
Times, published at Adrian where Prof.
Wilson is well known, he having been
born and raised in Lenawee county.
says in a recent issue:
The Times takes pleasure in announc-
ing Prof. +. A. Wilson of the Paw Paw
schools as candidate before the Re-
publican state convention for member
ship on the State Board of Education.
Mr.. Wilson is native of this county,
was brought mp to sturdy manhood on
farm, graduating from the State Nor
NAL School in 1879, and has been close
~ connected with educational matters
in the county and state ever since. He
was sent here as one in charge of the
State Teachers Institute, and his influ-
ence was felt in every detail. His NOM
ination would be deserved compli-
ment to a skilled educator, and add
strength and completeness to the state
ticket.

Much has been said regarding the
fact that Harrison's majority in the
convention was largely due to the
Southern states, which will not help
to elect him. But the same state OF
affairs is true of Cleveland, since the
West, which will be against him at the
election, was his strongest supporter in
the convention.
