THE GREAT CONVENTION.


vention began its sessions on Tues
day and for several days past the
public attention has been intentlv
fixed on that one of the twin cities
where the next republican candidate
for the presidency is to be named.
To say that Minneapolis has this
week been the center of political en-
thusiasm is putting it mild. Fever
heat has prevailed there, and espec-
tally so since the resignation of
Blaine as secretary Of state and his
supposed formal entering the field as
a candidate
The convention was called to order
at 1924, and Chairman Clarkson of
the national committee presented the
name of ]. Sloat Fassett of New
York as temporary chairman. Mr..
Fassett is an admirer of Blaine, and
it was thought possible that the
Harrison faction might present a
temporary chairman in opposition
to him. Nothing of the sort was
done. however, and Mr.. Fassett was
elected. The chairman made a stir
ring speech, and as he referred to the
leaders, Harrison and Blaine" the
convention broke into cheers. At the
close of the speech there were loud
calls for Reed and Mckinley, and as
these gentlemen rose in response an
enthusiastic greeting was accorded
them. During Mr.. Fassett's speech
a high degree of enthusiasm was
reached when he said that when the
convention ended, all rivalry would
be ended; when the nomination
should be made there would be but
one choice and he would be the
nominee of this convention; that
there was but one purpose and that,
his election.
The Vermont delegation at Min
neapolis has named NJ S. Colburn of
Manchester as the member for this
state on the national committee-a
choice that will be generally endorsed,
as Mr.. Colburn is an energetic re-
publican who will serve the state
we'll on that commit tee. The vote
of the delegation, as indicated in
certain tabulated estimates published
in some of the papers before the con-
vention met, is equally divided be-
tween Harrison and Blaine. Con-
gresham Powers, who heads the
delegation, was known to be a
pronounced Blaine man.
Soon after the temporary organi-
cation was effected the convention
adjourned until II a. m. on We'd
nesday At that time Gov. Nc
Kinlev of Ohio was elected per-
manent chairman, and assumed
that position amid ringing applause.
Neither the committee on credentials
nor the committee on platform
were able to complete their work
until late last evening, and as there
was nothing of special moment for
the convention to do yesterday an
adjournment was taken until to-
day.
The election of Gov. Mckinley Ga
strorg Harrison MANI as permanent
chairman was a significant move.
and in this connection it was an
nounced that Ohio's delegation
would stand for Mckinley as the
nominee if Harrison is not named
on the first ballot.

other day, by Mail and Express
reporter, Col. Fairbanks said he

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Brattleboro Reformer has dis
been fighting Fuller. The Reformer
sees and says a great many things
that are not so-and this is one of
them
The Mortified News has made the
horrible discovery that w. E. John
son of Woodstock, mentioned" for
governor, is really trying to get into
Congressman CIRCUITS shoes two
years from now.
Fuller in 1892, Woodbury. in 1894,
Fletcher in 1896 in 1898 ?" So
says the West Randolph Herald and
News. According to that schedule,
the Herald's candidate, Mr. Spear, is
likely to wait till the lieutenant gov
ernors roll by.
A Derby correspondent of the M on
itor, referring to a fine piece Of road
built by Major (Farmer) Josiah
Grout, says: THE Major would
make a good road builder or good
governor"
The ticket nominated by the Yer
mont prohibitionists should have
been given ere this. 1t is made up
thus: Governor, E. L. Allen of Fair
Haven. lieutenant governor w P
Stafford of St. Johnsbury secretary,
E. T. Griswold of Bennington;
treasurer, Milo Davidson of New
fame; auditor, H. F. Comings of
East Berkshire. We have no person
al acquaintance with any of these
candidates save the gentleman from
ST. Johnsbury; and the only thing
we have against him is that he is
not on the winning ticket, though
fully qualified therefor.

THIRD WARD MEETING.
John Wiley Tells How to Increase TIL
GircutaFinp


Republican meeting was held in the Third
ward at Brewers hall. Walla Walla addition,
last night. Ralph Simon presided and John
Wiley and t. Il. Rawson spoke. A trio com
posed of F. 4. Gardner, Z ". Jones and Fred
Fay furnished some vocal music
Mr.. kawson gave a complete and clesr-cut
statement o. the money aud free silver issue as
between the Peoples party on the one baud and
those opposing free silver coinage on the other
lie gave figures showing the fslsity OF the ale
cation that the so-calei decentralization OF
silver in 1878 had caused the fall in price of that
commodity. 'if the coinage of 100000 silver
dollars IN the eighty years from 1872 to 1878 was
the resi- cause OF the sustained price of silver
during those years. why did silver fall so greatly
IN the twelve years from ISIS 10 1870 when we
coined 1851 000.0c0? The free coinage of silver at
the present ratio simply means the legisiating
OF 20 cents on every dollar into the pockets of
mine owners at the expense OF every other c.ti-
zen and we are opposed 10 it"
John Wiley spoke ne xt and also devoted him
SELF largely TO the Peoples party allegations
He said he understood from their platform,
adopted at Omaha in July last. that they had
''mei i'll the midst OF people brought 10 the
verge OF moral, material and political ruin"
Judging by this he supposed the Populists must
have met in the portion OF Omaha which cor
responded TO Whitechapel in this city. AS to
their talk about the necessity for more coinage
he declared that the United states was adding
TO It's coinage aye times as fast as Eugan and
had more III circulation per head than any
countries except France, Cuba, Belgium and
Holland. al tell you how we can get $50 per
head in circulation: lets build the canal! 1t
will cost s4o0o,0oo aud there are 80 600 people in
hing county: that would make just $50 head"
The Republicans of this ward have decided To
discontinue the Friday night meetings at the
Joy street school house aud to meet only on

To THE EDITOR: Mr.. Eugene semple has
of late made several slseches in this city
in which he condemnet the Republican
legislature for not having passed anti Pink
erton laws: and At the same time he praises
up Mr.. Sniveiy for havtng, four years ago
in Roslyn, arrested the Pjnkertons and driven
them out of the town and county. Three
years ago MI. semple, whea running for gov
ernor, told the people OF this state in his cam
paign speeches that he himself had driven the
Pinkertons out of Roslyu, snd Mr.. Snively en-
dorsed the statement-Sem7le and snively were
at that time accused Ia the Daily Press of hav-
ing both lied about the masser. a charge which
they did not and could not sseny, but still they
kept on lying. And as in tssis campaign both of
these politicians reiterate t::e same false story,
and the Democratic orators all over the state
follow this example and try To catch working

show UP the mendacity ana hypocrisy displayed
