reason OF tnat resignation. Inc
new chairman will be selected
by the new executive committee,
and it goes without saying that
the selection will be a good
one. The democrats will discover
before long that this campign is to
be fought on a great principle and
not by or for any one man.
Senator. AIdrich this week intro.
duced a concurrent resolution for
the final adjournment of Congress
on July 20, but he has little hope
that it will get away as soon as that,
unless great change takes place
very soon.
A great deal of nonsense is being
talked about the probability of the
election being thrown into the
House because of the detection of
the silver States from the Republic
can ticket. Few people can be
found here who honestly believe
that the voters of any State hereto
fore Republican will prefer Weav-
er or Cleveland to Harrison; but al
lowing for the sake of argument
that MIR. Harrison should lose all of
the new States, Colorado, Nevada
and Wisconsin and the five Michi
gan votes, and hold the other States
he carried in 1888, he would get 225
electoral votes, which would be two
more than would be necessary to
elect him. Much of this talk about
throwing the election into the
House comes from the Democrats
who are using 1t as a means to con-
vince the Republicans who are in
clined to favor the free coinage of
silver of the possibility of the
House, which, when voting by
States, would be controlled by The
silver men, electing a free coinage
man, if there is failure to elect in
the electoral college.
Had the Omaha convention put
up a man capable of inspiring ma
tional confidence, this talk might
have influenced a considerable
number of Republican voters, but
the nomination of Weaver has
made it deader that a last years
bird nest. 1t is doubtful whether q
single Republican could be found,
no matter what his opinion about
silver may be, who would be will
ing to throw the election into the
House, even if that body was pledg-
ed to elect free coinage man;
if he knew that Weaver was to be
the man. The Third party as a
factor in the Presidential election
is dead-Weaver killed it; the fight
will be a straight one between Har-
rison and Cleveland, protection and
free trade, and every man who
casts vote for the peoples party
ticket simply throws it away.
Messrs. Nelson and Parker, the
experts selected by the joint COM
nittee on Immigration of the
House and Senate TO make a thor
ough examination of the Govern
ment buildings erected for the i'm
migrant station, on Ellis Island in
New York Harbor, have submitted
their report to the chairman of
those committees. The estimate
of these experts of what the nine
principal building should have cost
aggregated $4,000, which is just
1000 more than they cost under
contracts made by the Treasury
department. The experts failed to
find any structural defects of i'm.
portance in the buildings and re-
port that as whole the work has
been well done and that its cos,
has been below the average paid
for similar work. That is Just
about what Secretary Charles Eos.
ter said when sensational char ges
were made in connection with thi.
work.
1t is said Representative Hender.
son, of Iowa, who knows the mar
well, will make a speech in the
House exposing the public and pri
vate record of Weaver, and thai
the exposure will greatly surprise
many members of the Farmers AL
lance who have been misled int
supporting Weaver.
