son again for the suffrages of the pco
pie. and tits seeking out the antiquities
and absurdities of the party in its eff.
fort to escape from campaign in which
the Harrison administration would be
closely scrutinized. The pcrfunctory
forms Of approval of the administration
in state platforms count for little by
comparison with the manifest desire OF
the party to escape a test vote on the
popularity of the administration.
But willy nilly the. republican party
must try to carry President Harrison
through another campaign. No presi.
dent.eyer used federal appointments for
personal purposes as has Gen. Harrison,

ord as the most eminent political in
CRATE of the times. But Mr.. Plat,
whose hostility rests on his fantastical-
ly egotistic notion that he should have
been appointed secretary of the treas
ury, is source of strength rather than
Of weakness to the president. Much as
the republicans of New York have lost
faith in Harrison, they have still less
faith in Thomas c. Platt, and his hostil-
ity is the one factor that gives the pres
ident such support as he now commands
in this state. In Pennsylvania, the in
herent weakness of the president is
counteracted by the intense disgust
with Senator Quay. The republican
party would be glad to he rid of Harri.
son, but it would find vastly more en-
joyment in thwarting Platt, Quay,
Clarlsson and Foraker than in depriv-
ing the president OF his denomination.
The president has shown the shrewd-
ness of the sharp, selfish politician. In
those states that are not controlled by
a big boss his officeholders as rule
have secured delegations favorable to
denomination, and in those states which
are controlled by detested bosses he Is
availing himself of the bitter feeling
against them to counterfeit his own un.
popularity. The president has played
his cards we'll to win the denomination
in the face of almost certain defeat at
the polls. The Harrison intrigue will
prove quite as strong at Minneapolis as
the conspiracy of his enemies.

FIGHTING THE TARIFF.
Gov. Russall's Remarks at Rocky
Point Reviewed.
|HE lIKENS CLEVELAND TO PEEL.
Rociy Point Was Pasted Over with Post
ers stating THAT Certain Democratic
Paper which Democrats Repndiate
Isn't In Good Repute with Labor.

One of the most flattering evidences OF
Democratic newspaper popularity with
organized labor in this section was very
numerously pasted in every conceivable
place on the Democratic camping grounds.
Little red pastors, they were. but this Is
the statement: "By refusing to employ
union labor boycott has been placed up
ON organized labor by the Telegram. Not

At the coliseum, Massachusetts, young
Democratic Governor was heartily re-
csived. He said: 1--WE look with conf
dence to RHODE ISLAND TO help Democ-
racy in its battles" Then followed such
stereotyped expressions as 'in the peo-
ple's cause selfish interests" ''privi-
ieges for the few" taxing few for the
benefit OF the many" tariff taxation
brings about higher prices" lie De
elared that taxation should be used TO
annihilatc revenue, ana that ''the tariff

some one in the audience here applauded.
Chairman Baker pulled the strings which
held the others in control and the
whole audience yelled until he loosened
s'rhe authors Of the high tariff laws de-
clared they were only to meet the exigen-
cies or war and raise It's necessary
revenue. But selfish interests prevailed
and taxes were lifted from the luxuries
and imposed upon the necessaries." Here
he paused as large proportion OF his
audience had fallen asleep. Others taking
advantage Of the pause got up and lett.

SOLD THE MILLIONAIRE.
A Cool Stranger Takes n Free Ride I'm

A Cool Stranger Takes a Free Ride In
His Buggy.
A Chicago millionaire who had been
exercising his team OF bays on Michigan
boulevard was on his way back to his
downtown Office, say the Chicago Tribune.
He was compelled to wait at Fortieth
street a few moments on account OF q
Lake Shore passenger train that blocked
the highway. A plainly dressed but
business like man who had been standing
on the sidewalk came out to the middle
of the road, examined the horses with q
somewhat critical eye and said respect
fully:
81 beg your pardon, sir, but may ! ask
II this team and buggy are for sale?"
81 have not thought of selling the out
it," answered the man in the buggy,
with an amused smile, "but might, per-
haps, II anybody should offer enough
money"
"May ask your price for the horses,
harness and buggy, just as they ares"
"Cash down?"
Certainly"
"Why-I hardly know-what do you
say to $5,OO0?"
The man examined the horses critically
again.
"I'll take them at that figure" he said,
"but shall have to 60 to the First Ma
tional Bank to get the money"
Gall right. Climb in. am going in
that direction"
The train had pulled out Of the way by
this time, and the next moment the team
was flying down the boulevard at its best
gait, as IL bent on showing that it was
rare bargain even at 5000.
On arriving at the bank less than half
an hour later the business-like man got
out of the buggy, went inside the build
ing and came out again in about fifteen
seconds.
81 am sorry to say" he observed, with
much chagrin, "that the cashier says /
haven't cent in this bank"
"Have you q cent i'm any other bankf"
"No, sir. am obliged to confess that
the only hope had of getting the money
was here. That has failed me. had set
my heart on those horses, but shall have
to give them up. am grateful to you,
sir, for having brought me to tho city,
and beg your pardon for the trouble and
delay have caused you. Good morn"
"Hold onl" exclaimed the millionaire.
"Did you put up this little job on me to
save car fare down town."
~ hope you will not think too hard OF
me for confessing that did, but"
"Then you have saved fifteen cents by
the transactionf"
eyes, sir. That is what it would have
cost me, IL I had had it, to come in on the
elevated"
eyes, see. You haven't really beat
me out Of any money, my friend, but you
have come out ahead OF me, and you're
the first man that has done that within
fifteen years, even to the tune OF five
cents. Here's f5 gold piece for you, and
IL you will hunt Potter Palmer up some
day when he's out driving and work this
same little game on him I'll give you a
twenty"
He tossed the coin out on the sidewalk,
gave his bays a light touch with the whip,
and his buggy was soon lost to sight in
the throng of vehicles going north to
naarboru.

Our Illegal Motto.

IL is q somewhat singular fact that the
legend "E Pluribus Unum," which has
appeared on different coins Of the United
States for more than a hundred years,
was never authorized by law, made legal
by act of Congress or any other body
having that power vested within itself.
It's first appearance on a coin was in
1850, before the establishment of United
States mint. At that time there was
private coming establishment at New
burg, N. ", and the well-known motto
was first inscribed upon coin struck at
that "mint." It was copper coin of the
value of about one penny, or something
near two cents. They are now very
valuable, and but few coin collectors can
boast of possessing such rarities, says the
Philadelphia Press.
In 1857 q goldsmith by the name of
Brasher coined SIC gold piece, which is
now one of the rarest Of coins, there being
but four specimens OF IL known, all of
which are held Mt 5000 each. This rare
piece has the well-known motto stamped
upon it in this mixed form: "Unium e
Pluribus."
