In urging the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, its advocates have
piteously pleaded that it was not a
subsidy levied on many industries Tor
the benefit of few, but simply a
God send to all. Always have they
stood in with our eastern brethren, as
well as our unappreciative California
neighbors with their votes to protect
their several industries and we have
paid handsome tribute thereto, re-
ceiving nothing in return. TO be
consistent the east should, on the
tn cory of protection. support free
coinage; but their selfshncss has
crowded out all reciprocal feeling.

MAKING PRESIDENTS.

The manner in which the Execute
i've head Of a great nation IS made,
when carefully considered, is some
thing to nausiate thinking man.
Minneapolis, at the present time,
must be regarded by the outside
world as a pandimonium inhabited
by lunatics.
The methods by which the various
factions expect to name their favor
ties seem to rest mostly on noise and
display.
A train rolls up to the depot and
100 Harrison men wearing white
hats and carrying torches march up
the street yelling and singing song
that ends: "A son of gun named
Blaine. The crowd grow crazy and
he news is flashed over the wires:
Tonight Harrison's chances seem
improving and the Blaine men are
respondent.
In few hours another train comes
IN and 200 men bearing big banner
with Blaine's name and picture on
march up the street yelling blaine,
Rlaine. Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-day, and
then the news pulsates over ten
thousand different localities:
At the present writing it looks as
if Blaine would be nominated on the
first BALLOT, as the enthusiasm fol
him seems growing
And so it goes hour after hour
men who are level-headed at home
get as looney as school boys at a bass
ball match, and the sight of lot o
coal oil torches, the noise Of bras
band and the refrain OF a vulga
street ditty turns them from this an'
that candidate.
1t is not an edifying spectacle 10
the people, but they have to lock a
