Soon after the nominations of
Cleveland and Harrison, Henry Clew's
banking house Weekly Review, gave
the following assurance to the Wall
Street and corporation gold bugs:
''Stock market conditions are decid-
eddy more satisfactory For
weeks the market has been depressed
by the silver condition. The
outlook for sound currency legisla-
ton has been cleared by the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. Harrison as the republican
candidate for the presidency, and Mr..
Cleveland as the democratic candi-
date. Which ever OF these candidates
is successful in November the country
will not only be saved a vast deal Of
anxiety concerning the silver craze,
but the prospects are encouraging
for the repeal Of at least the worst
features in our present foolish silver
laws"
You see what that portends. No
free coinage-the same, or closer con-
traction of the currency for the next
four years, if either Harrison or
Cleveland are sent to the white house.
You voters, think more than twice
before you deposit your ballot this
year.

Prof. Ely, OF John Hopkins univer-
sity, thinks the United States is thirty
years behind the age in regard to it's
railroad management. Germany,
Austria, Hungary, Sweden, Austria
liza and New Zealand all have govern
ment ownership of railroads. With
all the experience with private owner
ship of railroads in this country,
where it is demonstrated day by day
that the railroads are higher than
the courts, COR they make the laws
and control the people, still there are
many good men who are blind enough
to theil own interests to vote for this
robbery to still continue rather than
put the matter in the hands of the
people to be operated for the benefit
of the masses.

The daily press state that the "Insti-
tute" was a failure. To be strictly
truthful it was SO, in some sections. A
combination like that could not be q
bowling success in the midst OF har-
vest-and in towns where not q soil
tary advertisement had appeared.
So we quietly dropped the force and
filled the appointments alone. But
the Institute" will be on it's feet
again before many moons have
waxed their mustaches-in fact this
week. We will pay a little delicate
attention to certain committeeman
after election.

OF what avail is it to work twenty
years for reform and then nominate
men who don't believe in such reforms?
Do you think that the republicans
did that when they sent Sumner,
Wade, Ingalls,, Seward, Morton, etc.,
etc., to the senate? No. Then stop
this advocacy OF men who have not
fought for your doctrines. Why not
get men to do your work who want
to work?

Will some of the toiling millions
explain this easy conundrum? ''Why
is it the English and German bankers
have contributed half million dol
lars each to the National committees
of the republican and democratic
parties?" Is it too hard to figure
out? Well, if you will put on your
thinking cap and recall the fact that
these same money changers paid a
half million dollars to have the con.
gross of the United States demonetize
silver, you will probably trace thecon-
nection-that this half million is
donated to keep silver demonetized-.

Democratic Electors.

We will be expected to make some
remarks this week over the fact that
the democratic state central commit
tee has withdrawn four of it's state
electors and endorsed four peoples
party electors in their places. If it
be simple endorsement as it ap-
pears, without bargain or conniv-
ance, then all well and good. On
such vital question time is required.
1t has been a great struggle in this
state to keep fusion down.
At present it seems that the whole
affair was worked by the democracy
to make sure of no Harrison electors
as against those four.
The populists who read the GREAT
WEST may feel we'll assured that this
journal will neither endorse nor sup
port any fusion-of any kind:
LATER.
We are compelled to admit that the
matter is not wholly free from stain
on the part OF the peoples party-at
least on the part OF Mr.. Hanson, the
secretary. Mr.. Hanson held a con-
ference with the democrats two weeks
ago, and alone, without authority,
entered into formal understanding.
Thereafter, without any right what
ever, nor any consultation with a liv-
ing soul, he signed the following let
ter "On behalf of my committee"
which statement, of course is wrong.
Office of Secretary OF State, Oct. 10,
1S92.-Hon. F. P. Brown, Secretary
OF State: Dear Sir:
On behalf of our respective commit
tees, we request that the four presi-
Dental electoral candidates named
by our parties, to-wit: William
Meighen, A. L. Stromberg, James
Dillon and A. II. Holloway, may be
put on the official ballot consecutive
ly, the head OF the weaver group"
and protest against their order as
above named, being broken by the
Intervention of the names OF other
candidates in said group. Respect
fully, P.J. SMALLEY,
Secretary Democratic State Central
Committee.
LEWIS BAKER,
Chairman Democratic State Central
Committee.
LOUIS C. HANSON,
Secretary Peoples Party Committee.
This would be a terrible blow to the
peoples party if the above letter were
authorized. There is no measuring
the evil that would result. It would
drive nearly every converted republi-
can from our ranks. No wonder the
Pioneer Press said: "Fish was mad
as the devil'' over it.
Good God, where is the debt we owe
the democratic party to rebuild it's
shattered carcass and restore it to
power? Let US find the obligation
and pay it and then be free to stand
on our own feet. Stromberg, Halo
way, Meighen and Dillon were all dem
ocrats-Stromberg the most recent
convert. We must take our ,medi-
cine.
But let it be understood that in
this last move there has been no deal
on the part of the peoples party.
One man without consultation did
it, and did it without right or au-
thority from any living man. Let
Judgment rest upon him-and the
PARTY be liberated from the chains
OF fusion, servility and deviltry.

who Is the Republican Nominee I'm the
Fifth North Carolina District?

From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. July Representative
Williams. of the Fifth North Carolina Dis
triot. is in receipt OF letter from Dir.
Settle asking him 10 meet lin in Joint de-
bates TO discuss the political issues. Mr..
Williams is in somewhat of predicament
as 20 the proper. reply, and he
letter 10 the Executive Committee
of tho Democratic party. Mr.. Settle
claims to be the regular Republican nomi-
nee for Congress In the district, and Mr.
Amis. who was nominated by the seeding
faction. also claims to be the Republican
candidate. Then the Peoples party also
has q candidate in tho person Of Mr.. Lind
say; so Mr.. Williams Is slightly mixed as
to who is his most formidable opponent in
the present campaign.
SALARIES or DECEASED coSGREssaEy.
The conference report on the general
deficiency bill. which was before the
House to-day, provoked considerable
wrangling. There are items in this bill 10
pay salaries of deceased Senators and Rep
resentatives Among the items are nearly
81 600 for Mrs. Lee. widow of the late

heirs Of the late Senator Barbour.

III looks as II the DlsbTlcL NOinulltIoe VIII
