GORMAN AMI Roles.

A private letter from q high Democrat.
ic source in Washington says the Demo.
cratic ticket will be German and Boies.
We sincerely wish that this may be so.
German has voted for free coinage and
Boies has talked for ii in two campaigns
in Iowa. They would make a good and
acceptable team. This representation
is based Of course on the belief that the
National Convention will not regard it
as safe to take either Cleveland or Hill
from New York. We believe that Hill
has lost ground, and we can see but lit
tie hope for him. But he may be able to
defeat Cleveland. That would be 9
righteous service for the performance Of
which the West would not soon forget
him. II it were not for Hill, the ex-
President would have q walk over for
the nomination. We talk in the inter-
est Of silver solely. We have no i'll will
for Mr.. Cleveland further than that
which proceeds from his known and un-
yielding hostility to our leading local in
terest. With silver less a factor we
would not care who might be nominated.
But under the circumstances We regard
1t as the very highest obligation to OPP
pose every man who opposes US. Cor
man and Boies would do. But it is hard
to escape the conviction that Cleveland
is to be the standard bearer for a third

WALL STREET COIN.

We saw in an Eastern paper the other
day an item to the effect that Wall street
had raised a purse of $50. 900 to get .
couple Of gold bugs nominated for Presi-
deuA This would settle their fight
against silver for four years. Harrison
and Cleveland are the men they want.
The big end Of this amount was to be
used against Hill. Wall street could
never get close enough to Hill to give
him q red apple. Hence all the pressure
and abuse in the public press against
him, About everything in the East in
both parties appears to have been sub.
sidized. There are also some evidences
OF o sack on this Coast. The litera-
ture bureau business is being worked to
a charm. The woods are full Of booms
for the two principal gold bug csndi-
dates. Wall street foots the bills. There
is neither organization nor a dollar on
the side Of the peoples cause to meet and
combat these powerful influences outside
Of the silver clubs being formed In the
mining States. 1t will be q wonder il
the people are not betrayed as usual.
But out this way we can keep up a
mighty kicking until the last vote is
polled. The man in Nevada who will
vote for a pronounced gold bug for Presi-
dent, we care not to which party he be-
longs. is an enemy to the State and him

THE prD IT.,

A sad case is that Of Lieutenant
Backus Of the United States Army, who
was lately found wandering around New
York in a demented condition. Several
weeks ago he disappeared after having
threatened to commit suicide and his
friends feared he had kept his word.
The woman did il. This is true in the
case Of Lieutenant Backus. He was
married to a beautiful woman, and in
1884, when the First United States cav
airy was stationed at Fort Walla Walls,
Washington, Mrs. Backus was said to be
the most beautiful woman ever seen in
the State. Among the officers stationed
at the fort was a young man from Mary
land who paid Mrs. Backus marked at
tention and she became infatuated with
him. Lieutenant Bsckus took the young
officer aside one day and said; ANY
other man in my position would shoot
you dead on sight. / will not harm you
now, but in a short time my wife will be
a free woman. II in one month from
that time you have not married her, by
the Eternal, | will kill you" Lieuten.
ant Backus obtained leave Of absence
and his wife secured q divorce on the
ground Of dtsertiop, and married the
young M~arylsnder. Backus has not been
himself since then and will probably end
his days in a lunatic asylum. The woman
did it.

WHAT DANA SAYS.

Chas. A. Dana Of the New York Sun
has published an article, the purport OF
which is that ex-President Cleveland
has been revising his views on the silver
question, and will shortly give to the
country q manifesto that will astonish
the natives. Mr.. Dana intimates very
plainly that something approaching free
coinage may be looked for. We hardly
credit the story. We have never heard
OF an instance in which Cleveland
changed his mind about anything. In
deed, il is his chief stock In trade to as
sumo to be firm beyond all men Of his
time. This is what has given him his
great hold on the country. II he is
demagogine he has chosen the most
eligible route for the practice of that
doubtful art. II is just as easy to make
s~"D5uA ION that line as any other, and
there are q great many more votes in it.
Mr.. Cleveland has been patted on the
back for this characteristic Of his nature
until he has himself become q convert to
the doctrine. Therefore we do not ex-
pect to see him take the back track on
silver. II he were to confess a change
Of heart the people would believe his
word, and he would at once become as
popular on the Pacific Coast as he is in
the East. But no such good luck is to
be anticipated,

MAKE Ir POLITICAL ISSUE.

II the free coinage question is not q
political one now and never has been, the
silver men can make it so almighty sud-
den by organizing silver clubs and re-
solving to vote for no man for any politi-
cal Office unless he will work for free
coinage, and unless he can show a sound
previous record on that question. When
the politicians of both parties agree in
saying that free coinage is not a party is.
sue, that is sufficient notice to silver men
that they have nothing to expect from
either Of the great parties. Their only
show is to organize silver clubs and MAKE
free coinage a political issue, and vote
for no man that is not known TO be solid
for the silver interest. How much
longer are you miners, mining men and
business men interested in mining to be
led up to the polls by your political
friends +" and asked to vote for q party
that says free coinage is not its policy,
and which statement is corroborated by
recent events? Are you not deceived
year after year by fair promises, and now
after neither party can help you, you are
told by both Republicans and Demo
Gratis that the question is sectional . And
they are right. Your only hope is to

A VOTE THAI SO UNITED AT sIL.
WEIR

That was a good point made by Sena-
tor Stewart in the Senate last week
against the Arizona Territorial bonds.
While the body Of the bond was made
payable in lawful money" the gold
bug contingent had provided to have the
interest paid in "gold coin." Senator
Stewart called attention to the discrimin.
alton and quite q lively silver discussion
ensued. On motion Of Cockerell Of
Missouri, the Objectionable "gold coin "
was finally stricken out. When the roll
was called on the proposition Senator
Hill Of New York voted with the silver
men. This was not much Of q test on
the silver question. but the vote squinted
9 good deal in that direction. II Cleve-
land and Harrison had been in the Senate
they would probably both have voted to
stick to the yellow metal. We would
rather trust Hill on silver than any prom.
inent man in the far East. But it Is
because of his leaning in our direction
that he is being fought to the death by
the gold trust Of Wall street. Although
q very poor man, in this worlds goods,
he has never been the tool OF the money
power, and for this reason the sharks
have NO use for him.

Andrew Johnson is the name OF g gen.

Of heart and who is now engaged in evan.

him he wanted to pay two fares for rides

terest on the money. Mr.. johnson con-
tessed he beat his way from Glyndon to
Minneapolis and from Sprseue to Otis.
The fares amounted to Sc 76 and the in
terest on the same, ten per cent for nine
years, to Sc 0S. Mr.. johnson paid

uoSrANA MOVING ron SILVER.

MONAAHA @0tfN0 H".
We note by the press dispatches that
Montana, also. is organizing silver
Leagues. A rousing meeting was held the
other night at Helena, at which ex'
Governor Sam Hsuser presided and was
later made permanent Chairman. MIR.
Hauser was Governor of the Territory OF
Montana under the Cleveland Admins
tration and is Of course 8 Democrat. But
his political predictions do not enter
into the question at all, and we only re-
fer TO them TO show that because q man
happened to hold Office under President
Cleveland, is no reason why he should
s%tultify himself on the silver issue. The
silver question in tn. mining States
strikes harder and deeper than partisan
ties. President Cleveland was elected
on a hard money platform, but began to
kick silver before he had entered upon
the duties OF his office. He seems to be
q rigid stiokler for forms and pledges, ex.
cept when applied to himself. At this
point be gets bigger than the great mass
Of his party and all OF the rest OF the
people Of the United States combined.
II is indeed passing strange that q man
Of this character could so completely hyp
notize the American people. But we
ave positive that much Of his seeming
popularity is fictitious and greatly over
drawn. Thousands Of the very best
Democrats in the Union will turn away
from the polls in disgust should he un-
fortunately be nominated at Chicago.
The present boom will not last 9 great
way beyond the National Convention.
IL will suffer q disastrous reaction before
November, or we are no judge OF cause
aud effect. Wall street has been contrib
uting vast sums of money to help both
Cleveland and Harrison TO q nomination
by their respective parties. II will be
a go-as-you-please and the devil take
the hindmost after the gold bugs have
secured these men to lead the two
tickets. And this is where the sober
second thought will begin to assert it
self, and from thence forward the cam
paign will be as fat as q founder. The
man who expects to see the people work
themselves mp into a blaze of enthusiasm
over Cleveland and Harrison will find
himself badly mistaken. We predict
that if these are the candidates the cam
paign will be the tamest affair OF the
kind that has taken place in this country
in fifty years. We are glad to see that
Montana is joining with Colorado and
Nevada in the great battle for silver.
Idaho. Wyoming. Utah, South Dakota,
Washington and Arizona should also fall
into line. Indeed, we are not 80 certain
that the entire South and the West, and
the Northwest might not be brought into
the movement with a proper effort. II is
ON these lines that the next President Of
the United States should be chosen.

TELLING SOME TRUTHS.

There are two Peoples party Repre-
sentatives in Congress from the State
Of Georgia. One of them lie Thomas f.
VIM, and the other Thomas L. Watson.
They have been Democrats, and though
not as radical as Jerry Simpson, the Kan.
sss statesman. who has been a Republic
can, they make good points on both the
old parties in debating the tariff and
other bills in Congress. Watson recently
ridiculed the stereotyped tariff speeches
made in the House. He said the Re
publicans declared themselves in favor
Of protection as q principle, but in order
to escape from the principle, adopted re-
ciprocity in practice. The Democrats On
the other hand, say that free trade,
which is but another name for r%ecipro-
city, is thoroughly right, but they de-
clined to accept it as a rule Of action
and practically believe in a tariff for
revenue.
Mr.. Watson ridiculed the revenue laws
and ELECTED applause from the galleries
when he declared that it cost the Govern
ment last last year at st. Augustine,
Florida, SIS, 900 to collect 6fteenn cents.
At Cherry Stone, Virginia, the Govern
ment expended 1850 for salaries for
custom house officers, who collected
nothing. and at Annapolis. Maryland,
where an official received 1852 for doing
absolutely nothing, not a cent was col
lected for import duties.
There are q number of places along
the coast from the Canadian line to the
Gulf of Mexico. which have been made
ports of entry for no other purpose than
to provide party favorites with sinecure
positions, as no vessel, home or foreign,
ever enters them, and the officials have
nothing whatever to do except to make
out statements that no vessels have

There are q number Of Cleveland
Democrats and Harrison Republicans in

the case may be. That is about as bold
q declaration as one could well imagine.
II is worse than that. II is decidedly
