yers, and the ADLER the man is, the
more he hesitates to express a decided
opinion about it. The generally &C
cepted idea has, of course. been that
the senators and representatives. of
each of the political parties would be
in honor bound to vote for the man
nominated by the party to which they
belong for the office to be filed. But
that has been considerably shaken by
statement to the effect that there
would not exist a single good reason
why any senator or representative
should feel under the slightest obliga-
ton to vote for the man who fails to
receive an election before the people
and that each senator and representa-
tive would be constitionally free to
vote for any one he pleased. without
regard to the names upon the national
tickets of the several political parties.

We append a brief sketch.
T. ]. Hudson was born in Indiana
and is 48 years old, came to Kansas
in 1865, located in Wilson county
and engaged in farming, and also
taught school several years. In
1870 he commenced practicing law,
and in the same year was elected TO
the Kansas Legislature as a demo-
crat; was elected county attorney
three times as a democract; was
democratic mayor of Fredonia in
1888; was elected delegate.at-lar
to the national democratic conven.
tion and voted for Grover Cleveland.
He is a good campaigner and will
make a thorough canvass of the dis
trict.

BEFORE our readers shall have
read and folded the REPUBLIC the
mass of peoples party representa-
tives will have assembled IN Omaha
at the national convention of the
great new party. We expect cheer
ing news next week that the St.
Louis platform has been affirmed
and that a president and vice-presi-
dent have been nominated. From
present indications it looks like Ores
ham and Watson. We understand
that Judge Gresham has been inter
viewed and says he will accept the
nomination and will stand on the St.
Louis platform. Since the death of
l.. L. Polk, Tom Watson stands out
as the most prominent leader in the

sirable that the south be represented

Six months ago it hardly seemed
possible that the republican and
democratic leaders could be as deeply
interested as they are at this time in
the outcome of the peoples party con
yentiOn which is to be held at Omaha
on July 4. The reason, however, is
obvious. The nominations of Harrison
and Cleveland by their respective
parties have made il certain to the
leaders that the votes of large-how

The nomination of Cleveland and

ness Of the politicians. has made q
good many more or less prominent re-
publicans and democrats feel perfectly
indifferent as to the result. The aver
age politician is apt to regulate his
enthusiasm for the nominee by the
favors he expects to receive after the
victory is won, and there are con-
siderable number of democrats in con-
gress who know that their chances of
securing favors from Mr.. Cleveland
would be no better, if so good, as from
Harrison, and there ale about an
equal number of republicans in the
same fix. 1t is not surprising there
fore to find these men indifferent; they
feel that they have no personal inter-
est in the fight. Whether the indif-
ference of these men will have any
appreciable influence upon the election
or be sort of stand Off, is hard to
say at this early date in the campaign.

Editorial Correspondence.

1t is possible, and many shrewd and
impartial observers consider it prob.
able that neither Harrison and Reid
nor Cleveland and Stevenson will re.
ceive the votes Of majority of the
electoral college to be elected next
November owing to the opposition OF
the silver men and peoples party COM
bine, in the west and south. Should
such be the case there would be no
election by the electoral college, and
the duty of electing president would
devolve upon the house of representa-
tives, while the senate would have to
elect the vice president, both bodies
voting by states in stead of in the
usual way.

Should this view of the matter be
generally accepted, Mr.. Cleveland
would never be the choice of the house
should that body have to elect the
next president, There are several
reasons why, but one is sufficient to
explain. why, Notwithstanding the
several seeming defeats which free
coinage has received in the house
during this session majority of that
body is strongly in favor Of the free
coinage of silver, and would so vote
If the question came to a vote devoid
of said issues; and no one knows this
any better than the members who so
skillfally managed the business as to
get the bill permanently side-tracked
before it ever came to a direct vote.
Having these views it would be ex-
pecting much to expect these men to
vote for Mr.. Cleveland, whose opposi.
ton to free coinage exceeds that of
Mr.. Harrison, when they would have
a chance to name a president friendly
to free coinage, unless compelled by
honor to do SO,

THE GREAT ISSUE OF THE CAM
PAIGS.

The great Issue Of the presidential cleo
ton of 1892, which will be decided tomor-
row. is whether the changes to be made in
the tariff for the future shall be in the
direction of tariff for revenue only or an
adjustment Of the measure of protection
accorded every American producer of
something which foreigners also produce
and produce cheaply enough for exporta-
tion TO this country.
Mr. Cleveland, in his letter of accept
ance, declares for free raw materials"
What does this mean to the people of
Washington IL means free wool, free
lumber. free hops. free iron ore, free btu
minous coal and free farm products of all
sorts. Under the Mills bill, which was
Cieveland's tariff reform measure, the
farmer would have taxed sugar, free
wool and taxed WOODEN goods I'm
der the Mckinley tariff wool is
protected and sugar Is on the free list.
We cannot produce one-tenth part of the
sugar We consume. hence it does not come
under the head Of competitive products
to be protected. The Republican party
for that reason pat raw sugar on the free
list and reduced the rate of duty on refined
sugar from 5 cents and more 10 y a cent
pound. II the same time, by means of a
bounty, adequate protection was afforded
20 the producers Of sugar in the United
States. They are thus stimulated 10 do
ghat they can toward supplying the home
demand. In the Mills bill the Democrats
nos only retained a heavy daty on raw
sugar, bat they put duty on refined
sugar ranging from 40 20 2 50 cents a
pound The result Of the Republican poll
icy gas 10 reduce the cost Of sugar to the
people. 50 tAat Il sells st wholesale now
for AZ rents s pound. against and 9
cents in 1859 and cents in January. Is9i,
