Gen. Weaver for Prcsident-Field, of vir-
ginin, for vlco President.
OMAHA, Neb., July 5.-The old guard
has won and Gen. James Il. Weaver, Of
Iowa, is the candidate of the peoples
party for president of the United States.
For five days 1t has been manifest
that of all the leaders of the new party
Weaver was the choice of the vast ma
jority, but the peculiar availability of
Judge Gresham overshadowed his per-
sonality, and it was net until the dis
tinguished jurist positively declined to
be candidate that the delegates turned
to their own ranks, and with almost
one accord selected the veteran green
hacker as their standard bearer.
There were some who feared his
greenback predictions might affect
his availability, and it was these gen.
tlemen who brought Mr.. Kyle, Of South
Dakota, to the front.
But the sentiment that one of the old
guard should be selected to lead the old
party was overwhelming and Weaver's
triumph was finally most complete.
Indeed, the failure of the Gresham
movement reacted promptly and power
fully in Weaver's favor.
The friends of the Iowan have con-
tended for several days that those who
persisted in booming Gresham after his
practical refusal to be a candidate were
actuated solely by n desire to defeat
Weaver, and when the Gresham move
ment finally collapsed it lent the color
of truth to this assertion and made the
waverers turn unanimously to Weaver.
The candidacy of Kyle was effective
only in humiliating the South Dakota
friends of the senator. His own state
delegation has always insisted that
Kyle was not candidate and the sem
ator himself telegraphed that he did
the convention.
Despite this, no wever, the anti
Weaver men, in the flush of their first
ephemeral success, wired Kyle that he
was the conventions choice, and that
harmony demanded his nomination, and
thus finally succeeded in getting state
ment from the senator that if his nomi-
nation was demanded by the conven-
tion in the interest of harmony he sup
posed he could not decline.
Upon this conditional assent the anti
Weaver men placed Kyle in nomination
and made strenuous attempt to carry
the convention, but even the eloquence
of popular Bob Schilling was insuffici-
ent to stem the Weaver tide, which had
been swelled to sudden reaction in
favor of the ''Old Guard

nominated for president on the first bal

We unqualitedy indorse our state railroad

Fe1ker for Hill.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Jan. 29.-Charles
w. Feker is a Hill man. In an inter
view to-day he says that while Cleve-
land seemed to be in the lead until
recently, Hill has been developing
great strength. Cleveland has no in
fiuence in New York. Ifneither Cleve-
land or Hill get it, then he thinks the
nominee will come from the West.
He says: "Should Wisconsin re-
ceive the honor of furnishing the Dem
ocratic nominee, in my judgement it
is very difficult at this early day to
say whether it will be Senator Villas,
Gov. Peck or Dud. Fernandez. Their
chances Just now are about even. So
far as | am concerned, as between
Hill and Cleveland, | am for Dave
Hill. Dave Hill may do things that
are wrong, but he is open and manly
and bold. Cleveland goes around
the country uttering stupid plati-
tudes and grooming about reform
without saying what he wants to re-
form or doing anything to reform
anything or anybody, as old Amin
adab used to go around the neighbour
hood sniveling, 'we are all going
straight to,hell.' Tender-footed poll
ticians who rally around Cleveland
make a great clamor about Hills
methods in politics, but while they
claim to be much purer and better
than Dave Hill, it will be noted that
they are always willing to take the
benefit of hard party work done by
Hill"
Speaking of the Gillian matter, he
says: "The controversy offered a
few little dirty Democratic copper
head organs, like the Milwaukee See
bote, the Milwaukee Journal and the
La Crosse Chronicle, opportunity to
show they are now as they were dur
ing the civil war-against the govern
ment. Their influence is of no i'm
portance whatever, except to show
how far intense partisanship will in
fuence small minds But men who
have feet like fiddle boxes and heads

will ruin this government"

THERE seems to be no reason to
doubt that Hill will have an almost
solid delegation from New York in the
Democratic convention. That does
not mean his nomination neces-
sarily, but it makes his case a very
strong one before the convention
Ii the Democratic party descends to
the nomination of such an unscrupu-
lous man as Hill, it will be time for
decent citizens to look about for
some other country to live in.-Sen-

The Demon of Party Shirt.

The translation of an editorial art
acle in yesterdays Seebote upon the
difficulty with Chill will be found in
another column. 1t shows to what
extremes party spirit will sometimes
urge those of whom it has taken a
sort of demoniacal possession. 1t
frankly avows the opinion that Chill
is right and that the United States is
wrong, while asserting that the de-
mand for an apology and redress for
the outrage upon the sailors wearing
the American uniform who were in
suited, wounded and slain by a CHILEAN
mob aided by the police, is an act of
"brutal violence"
This sounds like old times, and re-
calls the period Of our war with the
rebellion, when this same paper, then
as now possessed with the demon of
blind party spirit, day after day de-
nounced the policy of thegovernment,
and proclaimed that the men fighting
under the United States flag were en-
gagged in wicked and unconstitu-
tional war which would end, assit
ought, In defeat. Itsfavorite epithet
for President Lincoln, in those DAYS,
was the "Widow-Maker" and it de-
scribed him as cruel tyrant delight
ing in bloodshed, who had no greater
pleasure than in hearing of the
slaughter of his fellow-creatures, in
struggle carried on for no other pur-
pose than to crafty his selfish ambi-
ton and lust of power. It has not
yet invented an epithet for President
Harrison. Perhaps it will be willing
to adopt one from The st. Louis Re-
public, a paper which is conducted in
a similar spirit and terms the Presi-
dent ga sawed-off Bombastes Fur

san splte.-NiEWGWkee Sentinel.

The Presidents Message in England.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The Globe this
afternoon, referring to President
Harrison's Message to Congress, says
it is more humorous than tragic,
that it is marked with the noble
stamp of spread eagleism, and that
it makes the poorest case any nation
ever put forward. "Chili's fighting
Ships" The Globe continues, "are
equal to Americas, though there can
be only one possible ending in long
run, and Senior Montt, therefore,
will be well advised if he eats the
leek."
The ST. James Gazette says there
is no creditable reason why America
should have fixed a quarrel upon
Chill; that there was no just ground
for sending an ultimatum to Chill,
and that the latter country's conces-
sions deprive the United States "of
all justification for bullying"

The British Press.

The British press has settled the
CHILEAN question in manner highly
satisfactory to most Britishers. 1t
has denounced the President of the
United States as apolitical trickster,
the United States people as a con-
glomeration of DULLES, the United
States Minister to Chill as a gascon-
aiding Irishman. The effect of all this
in the United States, so far as it will
have any effect, may be to make Mr..
Egan "solid" with some who have
not approved of his appointment be-
fore. 1t may be said in his behalf
that gentleman who, as minister,
has made himself SO very offensive to
the British people must have been
2rudently jealous for the United
States interests.
British citizens resident in the
United States do not vote at Presi-
Dental elections, otherwise President
Harrison might expect strongly or
ganized opposition in the next con-
vention.
The ill-natured snarling of the Lon
don press will not cause a change of a
hairs breadth in our policy toward
Chilli Nor will it take single vote
from the President in convention or
at the polls.

His Life Insurance a Burden.

NJ. N. Allen, of Titusville, who has
enlarged ideas on the subject of life in
surance, has made arrangements to visit
Central America on business and pleas
ure. Having paid up life insurance
policies in three companies, he had to
apply to them for a permit to make the
trip. One of the companies returned
him a very ambiguous reply and the
other two demanded of him a large pre-
MUM for the privilege. Mr.. Allen has
determined to postpone his trip until he
can look up the authorities to see
whether he can go away without sacri-
fcing a part of his policies. Central
America is the home of revolutions,
fevers, venomous reptiles and wild
beasts, and naturally the traveller in
that glorious climate is not considered a
first class risk.-Jamestown Journal.

Not Dead Enough for That.

William Long, the colored man who

Grove avenue police station and was
thought to be dead when cut down by
Desk Sergeant Prim, proved to be a
mighty lively corpse.
After Long was cut down he feigned
death and was hastily removed to the

physicians there might be able to bring
him back to life, and they were.
Long was laid upon the dissecting ia
