a covering of some kind itself.

THAT ENDORSEMENT.

The moment the news OF Whitelaw
Reds nomination was flashed over the
wires the TRIBUNE denounced him for
his attitude toward organized labor and
for making d "rat" office Of his printing
establishment. and predicted that he
would not receive the support of the
printers or of members of labor organiza-
TONS. A local paper me- these declara-
tons with the assertion that the prcsi-
dent of the New York Typographical
union was in Minneapolis urging the
nomination of Mr.. Reid.
But now comes the New York World
with a statement which shows that the
first fraud of the campaign is an attempt
to deceive organized labor in the interest
of the republican party. No one was
authorized to represent the union at
Minneapolis and no one did represent it
there. Here is what the World says:
Certain persons, assuming to represent
Typographical union No. g. gave out for
publication a set OF resolutions carefully
contrived to make it appear that the
great typographical union. which Mr..
Reid has antagonized with bitterness
and obstinacy for years, had become
r%econciled to him and desired his can
didacy, because at the last moment and
as a preparation for the campaign he had
consented to an adjustment of the diff
culties in the Tribune Office.
1t is needless to tell any intelligent

graphical Union No. 6 is restrained by
it's constitution from any political ac-

authorized or can be authorized in it's
name to indorse any candidate for politi-
cal office. And as for the members of
that great organization of workingmcn,
they are citizens who know their own
minds, and their minds are not of the
kind to be placated by late coming and
extorted justice into forgetfulness Of
long continued wrong.

and the republican party gained control
of the legislative department of the
government they would have a tariff un-
der which their wool would sell like hot
cakes and at an advanced price. Harri-
son was elected and so wa Mr.. Carter.
The Mckinley tariff bill became a law
and where is wool? Lower than it
has ever been since the first
bleat of a sheep was heard in
America. And what is still
worse twill fall lower and lower each y.ar,
and drive wool raising from the middle
states to the free ranges of the west and
southwest where the industry will Ian
guish and die, while the shoddy indus
try SO beautifully protected and fostered
by the Mckinley act will continue to
thrive and annually throw 154.O00,OOO
pounds of the stuff upon the market to
take the place of American grown woods.
But Mr.. Carter belongs to Harrison's
bread and butter brigade and it can
be expected he would recall these
matters before Great Falls republicans
and preserve his standing in his party.

MONEY A Is IT.

The vice presidency has become a mat.
ter of bargain and sale with the repub.
lican party. Four years ago the nomi-
nation was given to Morton. He did not
pan out as well as expected and this
year he was laid aside and another taken
up who is not only known to be very
rich and to have a rich father in law,
but to be lavish with his money and will
ling to spend it freely for the good Of the
party. A good bank account. not brains,
is what counts with republican leaders
for second place or the presidential
ticket, and Mr.. Whitelaw Reid fills the
bill. He and his friends have fat check
books to place at the service of the party.
Where will this all lead to? When
high offices become objects of bargain
and sale; when no question is raised as
to a mans fitness for a place or his abil-
ity to succeed the president in Ease of
his death; when the only matter consid-
cred is the length of a mans purse and
his willingness to loosen up freely when
called upon by his party, it is time the
American people call a halt and look
ahead and see where they are drifting.
Think a moment. Does anyone be-
lieve that Levi p. Morton was nominated
as vice president on account of his abil-
ity 10 succeed the president, or on ac-
count Of his superior craftsmanship or
peculiar fitness for the office? Does
anyone believe that Whitelaw Reid was
nominated at Minneapolis because he
was intellectually qualified for the office:
Does aeyone believe that Morton or Reid
would have been nominated if they were
known to be poor men: Not one be-
lieves it who has taken a peep at the
inwardness of latter-day republican
politics and republican campaign meth

The European famine brought into
plny the benevolent spirit of Americans
which found expression in great ship
loads of provisions to the starving
peasants of Russia. The famine did
more. 1t gave lying republican editors
a hand hold upon the stupidity and
ignorance of the unlearned of their
party who are gravely told that the i'm
mense exports Of breadstutfs from this
country to suffering Europe is due to
the beneticent operation of the Mckinley
tariff. That famine is now being played
for all it is worth by protection sheets.

treat Britain. Both are the parties of
the money power and both are opposed
by the people. Both rely upon the
power of gold to win their battles and
both will use it lavishly. The contests
in both countries will be ore of capital
against labor; of plutocracy against
democracy. Gladstone will lead the
forces against the English tories and the

The TWO-THiRDS RULE.

The democratic convention which
meets at Chicago today will make no
nomination upon the first ballot. The
two-thirds majority rule obtains in demo
cratic national conventions and with
such a field of candidates AS will be en-
tered in the Chicago convention it is not
at all likely one will be found who can
get the necessary number. 1t will re-
guirc 800 votes to nominate. If lIarri-
son had required that number he would
not be the nominee of the republican
party today. His office holding dele
gates and purchased negro votes would
have done him no good.
One of the great advantages of the
two. thirds rule is that it prevents i'll
considered OF precipitate action upon
the part of the majority of a convention.
1t gives the minority a chance to make
itself felt. and Furthermore it compels a
convention to harmonize before a nomi-
nation is made. When two. thirds agree
upon a candidate the other third can
find little cause to kick..@In forcasting
the action OF the convention the two
thirds rule must be taken into considcra-
ton. A majority candidate may be left
out in the cold in the end.

TnE democrats have every reason to
believe they will carry Indiana next No.
vember. In the first place Harrison's
nomination is received very coldly in
that state. 1t arouses no enthusiasm
anywhere. In the next place his plural
ity in 1888, when Dudley. with his bar
rels of 81 greenbacks and ''blocks of
five" carried the state for him, was only
2.3lS. Last year the democratic plural
ity on the state ticket was 1920 and
over 22.00O on congressman. In the local
elections this year the democrats re-
tanned their lead and carried Harrison's
own city and ward by good majorities.
Republicans can draw no aid and com
fort from these figures while democrats
find encouragement and grounds for
hope in them.
