HOW IT WAS DOSE.

And now comes the New York World
with an explanation of the name in
which Whitelaw Reid obtained the nom
ination at the Minneapolis convention.
1t was stated at the time that he WAS
endorsed by Typographical union No. 6.
This endorsement was brought about
in this way. After Reid learned he
could get the nomination provided he
would adjust his long continued differ
ences with the union he conceded all it's
demands without a moments hesitation.
President Kenny and four members of
the union signed a resolution urging his
nomination. Just what pressure was
brought to bear upon them to do this is
not known. They signed it, however,
and Mr.. Kenny FASTENED to Minneapolis
with it. 1t was a characteristic trick of
republican leaders but it served their
purpose and Mr.. Reid was nominated.
Now it is well known the union is not
a political organization. 1t is a trade
organization and has nothing to do with
politics. The resolution was not adopted
by the union and was in no sense an ex-
preston of the sentiments of that body.
Therefore it has no more force than is
carried by the five anne attached to it.
1t was simply an effort to capture a labor
in behalf of Mr.. Reid by
snap methods. The result is that it has
a storm of Indignation, not only
among Typographical unions, but among
other labor unions which resent this
method Of making the former stand
sponsor for his nomination. Mr.. Reid
and his friends have not deceived labor
unions by this trick, but they have
the eyes of every laborlng man

GEN. A. Il.

The democratic nominee for vice presi,
dent is General Adlai T.. Stevenson, of
Bloomington, Illinois. The general is a
union soldier and headed the Illinois
delegation to Chicago. He was assistant
postmaster-general under Cleveland. He
is a very popular man in his state and
numbers among his most intimate
friends the most prominent men of both
parties in the union. His friends are
confident OF his ability to carry Illinois
for the democratic ticket and to make a
winning canvass for the party in other
doubtful ones. As compared with White
law Reid he stands. in all that unites to
make a successful candidate, head and
shoulders above him. Mr.. Stevenson is
a happy combination of ability, elo-
quence, Sc id sense, geniality and pow
ers to plea the masses. With all he is
demoera whom the party may we'll

The labor union man who votes for
Harrison votes for Reid. There is no
way by which he can vote for the one
without casting his ballot for the other.
II the people could vote directly for
president and vice president as they vote
for the governor and lieutenant gov
ernor Of their respective states they
could put in a ballot for their choice for
either Office. But they can not. They
vote for electors. II Montana elect the
republican electoral ticket the electors
will cast their votes for the republican
candidates for president and vice presi-
dent. Therefore labor union men who
propose to vote against Whitelaw Reid,
the foe to organized labor, must also vote
against Harrison.

COPPER

The Boston correspondent OF the En-
gineering and Mining Journal gives the
following resume Of the copper market
for the week ended June 1G:
This has been a dull week for copper
stocks, and transactions have been lin
tied throughout the list. The tendency
of prices is downward and there is
nothing in the immediate outlook to in
dictate a change for the better. There is
very little demand for investment and
the speculative element seems to be
wanting. Boston and Montana, usually
active. has been extremely dull; less
than a thousand shares changing hands
for the week, and today there was bat a
solitary sale of one share. There was a
slight advance early in the week to 434.
with later sales at 424 in small lots.
Butte Il Boston participated in the
dizziness, but held the price of last week
quite firmly, closing today at sl2la.

During the present month silver was
quoted 10 the New York market at an
average of S11s. This silver is bought
by a London and Wall street syndicate
which controls its market price. Silver
producers sell directly to the syndicate
and the syndicate sells to the govern
ment and to European consumers of the
article, The government has completed
it's purchase of 100000 ounces for the
current month. 1t paid the syndicate
o9.9J to so cents per ounce At this fig
ure the syndicate made about Il cent and
a half on each ounce. or the snug little
sum of SG1 800. This is hardly up to the
average. as some months the syndicate
makes from two to three times that
amount upon its sales to the government.
OF course the great syndicate is opposed
to the free coinage of silver.
The London syndicate of silver dealers
make much more. 1t buys American
silver at say 81 :ents; coins it into East
Indian rupees at the ration of l5l5 to |
and pays them out for Indian wheat at
their full face value. This Indian wheat.
thus cheaply purchased. completes with
our wheat in the English market and
forces down its price. Hence American
silver is used as a club in the hands of
English spectators to beat down the
price of American grown wheat. In
other words England plays onr silver
against our wheat and beats both. Our
present silver law arrays the product of
our silver mines against the product Of
our farms and English spectators laugh
at American stupidity and get rich
through American foolishness. The
free coinage of the metal would remedy
the evil. 1t would appreciate the value
Of silver and at the same time enhance
the price Of American wheat. In the
face of these facts it is past compre-
hension how an American farmer can
oppose the free coinage OF silver.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The brief synopsis of the democratic
platform adopted by the the Chicago
convention was presented to the readers
of the TRIBUNE yesterday morning. 1t
is a clear clean-cut. candid expression of
the democratic party upon the several
issues and questions which present
themselves for the consideration of the
people of the union. 1t takes strong
grounds against the oppressive McKin-
ley tariff and promises a reformation in
that direction if the democratic party be
returned to power. 1t enumerates the
disquieting Objectionable features of the
measure and appeals to the sense of JUS
tice Of the whole people to mitigate
them.
1t very properly d%enounces the reci-
procity scheme of the republican party
as a sham. 1t INTAKES foreign consum-
ers of American produce but does not
take n cent of duty off our own neces-
saries of life not otherwise provided for.
1t takes grounds against the admission
of Chinese but opens the door to worthy
immigrants from European nations. 1t
is also in touch with popular sentiment
upon many other questions which oc-
cupy the attention of the people. They
will be noticed in the future.
AS to the silver question in which the
people of Montana are more intensely
interested it takes ground far in advance
of that taken by any other national con
vention since the demonstration of the
metal in 1873. 1t favors bi-metallism
and the coinage of gold and silver upon
equal terms. 1t is not all that the silver
states would like but it is a long
step in the direction they are
leading. In view of the fact that the
manufacturing and several of the Mis-
sissippi valley agricultural states are not
yet fully educated in the silver question
as it affects their several industries. the
silver plank may be regarded rs "A gener
Gus concession to the demands of the
men Of the west. Standing upon
that platform Mr.. Cleveland. il elected.
can not nor will not veto a lee silver coin
age bill passed by a democratic congress.
That is all the sill err men can ask-a
president who will not interpose a veto
to their very just demands. He will be
all right when his signatur re snail
be wanted. Silver men may bank upon
that.
In this connection it may be stated
the platform was drafted to meet
the views of the majority of the mem
of the democratic party. 1t is a
very large party, scattered over 3.OOO.OOO
square miles Of territory and polls sew
sral million votes. While these voters
are a unit in opposition to a high protec-
tariff they are not united upon the
question. Hence the silver plank
the platform was formulated upon
ines which approach the grounds taken
the silver states without losing sight
If those taken by the people of other
who are not so friendly to the
metal. There are other planks in
he platform which call for notice in the
lear future.

HI WEEKLY TRIBUNE
THE DEADLY PARALLEL.
SATURDAY. JUNE 25. 1882.

If political crimes as pernicious in
their results as burglaries and thefts
and hold-ups, were punished under our
laws as the latter crimes are punished
some political conventions would adj
journ from their halls to prison cells.
But these political crimes are none the
less hateful and dcmoralizing because
their perpetrators go scot free. Frauds
are crimes, and whether committed by
conventions u by individuals they bear
the same old brand the mark of dis
honesty. In conventions the people be.
gin the work Of making laws and of ex.
ecuting them. What they begin there
they expect to be carried out by their
representatives. But it isn't by a long
shot. The following parallel illustrates
the truth of this declarations:

If Wolcott told the truth and it must
be presumed he did in the absence of
even a denial upon the part of Harrison
men Benjamin Harrison stands con
victed before the American people of
fraud: Of obtaining an election under
false pretences; of employing the pat
ronage of Is high office for selfish ends;
of sitting the voice ofthe people through
the influence and votes of hirelings who
packed primaries and conventions to Sc
cure the denomination of their chief. If
this is not IA fraud not only upon his
party but upon. the people of the whole
nation, then no meaning attaches to the
term.
Blaine was the choice of the repub-
lican party of the country. but it was not
heard at the convention. Harrison's
otficeholders had the hotel Hobbies, the
committee rooms. the keys to back-door
night seances of party leaders. and the
floor of the convention hall. The voice
of the mass of the party was stitied
everywhere and federal patronage did
its complete work. Senator Wolcott
shows how ii was done in the deadly
