THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

CHICAGO, May 49, A clear cut
and significant expression on the po-
litical situation was given utterance
here tonight by Chairman J. S.
Clarkson, of the Republican national
committee. Mr.. Clarkson, who is
fully restored to health, is ON his way
to New York from Hot Spring. To
number of newspaper men who
called on him at the Grand Pacific
hotel he said: "The seven millions
of Republicans who will be represent
ed at Minneapolis have not made up
their minds regarding their candi-
date. The result of the conventions
held in the different states clearly
shows this. There will be more un.
instructed delegates at the Minneap-
known in the history of the Republi-
can party. The northern states and
the states which cast the electoral
votes which will elect have almost all
sentuninstructed delegates. A major
ity of the instructed delegates come
from the southern states. Some of
the able editors and federal office
holders claim the nomination settled
already. certainly do not think so,
but as for being party to any con-
spiracy in favor of the nomination
of Blaine, Sherman OF Harrison, l
desire to enter protest There
seems to have been considerable Ill
feeling manifested of late regarding
the nomination. i will keep out OF
the contest and cast my vote for
whomever 1 shall determine to be the
winner"
"Then you don't think Mr.. Harri-
son will be nominated on the first
ballot?"
''Now you can't draw me out as to
whom think will be nominated.
Without much doubt there will be
several ballots cast. The man must
be very popular who would secure
the nomination on the first ballot
when such large proportion of the
delegates are uninstructed."

1t is San Francisco writer who
observes that man finds any amount
of fault with woman, yet works tooth
and nail to get her. He calls her
extravagant, yet yearns to pay her
bills. She's heartless, yet he devotes
months to finding the spot where
that heart should be. She's tickle,
yet he fights for place-the place
in her affections. She's timid, yet
he, noble being, has courage for two.
She's fraud, but darling. She's
a goose, but a duck. She's snappy
and sweet. She's 1.-THE and graceful
and dear and changeable as the
wind. In fact, she's chameleon in
the very latest style of spots and
dots and feathers and fixings. She's
most desirable article of household
furnishing, and there are mighty few
men who want to get along without
her.

THE ADDRESS.

This, the first great labor conference OF
tina United States and of the world-rep-
rosentlng all divisions OF urban and rural
organized industry assembled In nation
al congress, invoking upon Its action the
blessing and protection of Almighty God,
puts forth, to and for the producers OF
this nation, this declaration OF union and
independence:
The conditions which surround us best
Justify our cooperation. We meet In the
midst Of q nation brought to the verge OF
moral, political and material ruin. Cor
ruptlon dominates the ballot box, the
legislatures, the Congress, and touches
even the ermlne Of the bench. The peo-
pIe are demoralized. Many OF the states
have been compelled to isolate the voters
St the polling places in order to prevent
universal intimidation or bribery. The
newspapers are subsidized or muzzled;
public opinion silenced; business pros
trated: our homes covered with mort
cages; labor impoverished, and the land
concentrated in the hands Of capitalists
The uban workmen are denied the right
of organization for self protection; Inn
ported pauperlzed labor beats down their
wages; q hirelIng standing army, un-
recognized by our laws, Is established to
shoot them down, and they are rapidly
degenerating to European conditions.
The fruits Of the toll OF the millions are
boldly stolen to build up colossal for
tunes, unprecedented In the history Of
the world, while the posSeSsors deSpise
the republic and endanger liberty. From
the same prolific womb OF governmental
Injustice we breed the two great classes
--paupers and mlllionaires. The national
power to create money Is appropriated tc
enrich bondholders; silver, which has
BEEN accepted as coin since the dawn o.
history, has been demonetized to add tC
the purchasing power Of gold by decreas
lnR the value of all forms Of property, al
we'll as human labor; and the supply o
currency Is purpoSely abridged to fstteH

industry. A vast conspiracy against man
kind has been organized on two cont
nents, and Is taking possession OF tn

second-Wealth belongs to him who
creates It. Every dollar taken from in

"If any will not work neither shall he
eat" The interests of rural and urban
labor are the same; their enemies are
identical.
Third--We demand a national currency,
safe, sound and flexible, issued by the
general government only, a full Legal

and that without the use OF banking cor
