THE New York SIN which has been
IN frenzy over the subject of "negro
denomination" in the South, is not
alarmed over the fact that Governor
Jones, of Alabama, owes his re election
to negro votes.
$50 long as the negroes" says the
San, "vote to sustain the supremacy OF
honest and patriotic white men who
have some political sense in their heads
we have nothing to say against it. The
danger of negro denomination IS that
the negroes will be used by scoundrels
to enable them to plumber the public
treasury; but, if we could be sure that
they would always vote for and upright
statesmen like Governor Jones, we
should be very glad to have them con-
tinue to do it.
In other words, just so long as the
negroes consent to 60 up to the polls
and vote the straight Democratic ticket
all right, but if they vote for Farmers
Alliance candidate, or Republican, or
anybody who is not "patriotic white
fEaE, i. e., a straight out Democrat.
then chaos has come. We should
have imagined the Sun would
have wriggled out of Tn TINS dilemma with
some show of cleverness and not en-
ployed the kind of argument which
prevails in the backwoods Bourbon
organs of the South.

ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS remind those
who may be anxious about the result in
that State that Harrison carried Hi
nois IN 1888 by $4,000 majority, and
he is certain of about the same vote
this year. There has been good
deal of talk about the school question
in 1890, and while it is true that the
Republicans lost the State by over 80,
900 at that time, it IS equally true that
the superintendent of schools did poll
as many votes as Cleveland in 1888,
showing that there were over 10000
Republican voters who did not turn
out. Adlai Stevenson Is not a big
enough man to politically revolutionize

THE Golden Club may be suppo sed
to know OF what it is talking when it
speaks of Free Trade, and, therefore,
its utterances regarding the recent
Protectionist speech Of Premier Sails
bury are worth considering by every
man who puts any thought upon the
tariff question.
cit is impossible" the Golden
Club report says, mot to lament the
effect of Lord Salisbury's language on
the central European countries having
high protective tariffs, countries which
were hanging out signals of distress at
the moment Lord Salisbury hoisted
the Protection flag. But this not all.
The speech will have baneful effect
upon Free Trade in the United States"
This is something which may be
rather unpleasant to those Free Trade
organs who found nothing in Lord
Salisbury's speech over which the
Protectionists need feel encouraged. +"
1t is evident that the Golden Club
regards the Premier's words as most
forceful, and when one mans utter
ances give such chill 10 the strongest
upholders of a cause it is pretty plain
that the latter acknowledge the power
of the words indicating his new depart,

Mr.. HOLMAN, the watch dog If the
u. S. Treasury, has indeed hard lot.
Now he is arraigned for the large
amount Of appropriations for the past
session of Congress. He has been put on
the defensive and will try to get out OF
the difficulty by printing an explanatory
speech in the Congressional Record
showing how powerful lobbles" and
numerous other agencies combined o
defeat his efforts for ECONOMY"
There are some people, however, who
do not deserve pity, and Holman IS one
of them. BY his i'll directed and obstinate
efforts to cut down appropriations in
discriminatory he only brought invec-
tives upon his head, and economy as
practiced by him, cannot be held out
as circumstance IN his favor.

"IT must he conceded" says the S.:

1T must he conceded" says the S:
Louis Glo6e Democrat, that a victory
for the Populisls IN Alabama would
have been pleasing news to the RepuD
hcans all over the country. 1t would
be an indication that Bourbonism was
losing its grip below Mason and Dixon's
line and that that region would
soon become iair fighting ground for
the Republicans. The Peoples party
will make no appreciahle alteration in
the political conditions in the Southern
States. The South will be solid in
1892, as it has been ever since 1876.
In Missouri the Republicans may
choose their State ticket, but beyond
this there are no trlumphs for the
Republicans in any of the ex slave
States this year. One good result,
though, has come from the Alabama
election. There was no color line in
the contest. Whites and blacks were
divided, and apparently every man
seeking to cast his ballot was permitted
to do it without any fear of immediate
or ultimate bodily harm. 1t is better
for the negro to vote the Democratic
ticket than not to vote at all, and,
consequently, anything which causes
split in his ranks in the South and a
division i, the objects of his political
favor will be welcomed by Republi-
canSn

The Topeka Capital says that the
vote of 1892 will reveal remarkable
change OF sentiment favorable to the
Republican party. 1t is foolish for
Democrats to expect large Weaver
vote IN Kansas. Why should Alliance
farmers support a ticket which is so
VIGOROUSLY and palpably in the Demo-
cratic interest that Democrats have
abandoned their own ticket in Its
favor1 If Democratic leaders count
on a heavy Alliance vote for their
Omaha candidate they are certainly
reckoning without their host. We
believe $4,000 men, at least, who voted
for Willis in 1890 will vote for Harri-
son in 1892. who, with the full Republi
can Presidential vote, will insure the
State for Harrison by at least 10000.
On the State ticket a Republican
majority, in our judgment, is next to
an absolute certainty.

"THE Democratic party cannot carry
New York with Cleve land" SAID Rich
ard Croker at Chicago. But Mr..
Croker forget the beautiful Mugwump
doctrine that "Cleveland is stronger
than his party" This was we'll illus

Connecticut $50 plurality, as against
I,415 in 1884 in Delaware, 3,44I in
1888, as against 4 oI3 In 1884 ; in

his plurality fell from II,IIS to 6,I82 ;
IN Virginia, where it fell from COOS to
1889; and in West Virginia, where it
fell from 4,2II to 522. 1t was illus
trated in Indiana, which he carried in
1884 and lost in 1888. and in New

ed coinage oil the white metal, except
through International agreement. The
same line OF opinion is held by Henry
w. Cannon, ex Comptroller OF the
Currency. and now leading New
York banker. General Francis A.
Walker, who was member OF the con-
ference at Paris in 1878, and who IS
one Of the most expert OF financial
statisticians as we'll as a keen thinker
on all economic problems, has always
been an earnest champion of sound
and stable currency, but is not opposed
to honest bi-metalism. The two
delegates who will take up the free
coinage side of the question are Con
gresham McCreary, OF Kentucky, who
may deal with it moderately, and Sen
ator John P. Jones, of Nevada, who
will deal with it from the extreme
silver mine standpoint, on the theory
that the United States is strong enough
to 60 it alone, regardless of what other
countries may do.
All these delegates are men OF much
more than ordinary ability in the dis
cussion of financial questions, and
their course in the International Con-
ference will be watched by their
countrymen with great interest. The
proceedings of the body will lie most
valuable contribution to the monetary
education of the civilized world, and
particularly of the United States The
general expectation is that it will result
in no new departure and that England
and Germany will stand IN the way OF
any scheme of bi-metaliism as they
did in the conferences of 1873 and
1881. But it is too early to venture
this opinion, as there have been some
signs of late that England is not entirely
closed to fresh reasoning on the sub
iect. However this may be, the de-
bates OF the conference will 60 far 10

States, where the go-as you please free

thoughtful agitation will throw upon it.

ELKTON. AUGUST 10, 1892.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has appointed
the five delegates who will represent
the United States in the International
Conference which will be held this
autumn, probably at Paris, to discuss
the question of charging the use of sill
yer. With his customary good judgment
in the choice of men, the President
has selected representatives who will
ommand the general respect of their
untrymen, and who, whatever
ersity of opinion there may exist
ng themselves, will be able to
-.scuss the subject intelligently with
their foreign confreres. The delegation
is so made up that no fault can be fairly
expressed against it on the ground that
it is one sided or that it does not re
present the val: ing phases of American
public opinion on the silver question.
There IS not one of the five who
may be SAID to be mono -me.allist or
hostile to the enlarged use of silver. They
are all bi metalllsts in some degree,
and it will probably not be difficult to
bxing them together in agreement 1t
outseteyer the priccc:: rie that a b.
lie coinage is necessary to the
Its of the United States. But
comes to the question as to
object shall be reached, on
4 the ratio of value between
d stals shall be lodged, and
-Anether this country can safely accept
any ratio without the co operation of
the chief commercial nations of Europe,
the delegates will be divided, and
whether they or the delegates from
other countries who will be divided on
similar lines can be reconciled in their
differences is the problem for the con-
ference to solve, if 1t can. 1t is i'm
possible 10 make any reasonable for
cast Of the result except so far as to
say that the disposition of the confer
ence will tenc toward favoring the
enlarged use OF silver. or, at least. will
be less hostile to it than in the past,
if the ingenuity OF its monetary ex'
perts can hit upon plan which will
unity the interests OF the various ma
tons.
Senator Allison, who will be at the
head of the delegation, is bi-metallist
of sound and conservative instincts in |
his treatment Of financial questions.
