A determined effort will be made at the next
session o: the Select Castle to have it meet
in the western part of the State next year.
Pittsburg or Allegheny should be the place.
There is opposition to the proposed assess

Uniformed Rank. While the proposed as
sessment asked or is only 5 cents per men,
Der per annum, yet it is looked upon as
illegal by many, and no doubt will be re-
ierred back to tne Supreme Castle.

but tho temptation would be great on
the part Of the free coinage congress-

Let us turn for a moment to the pos.

Nebraska to begin with. He certainly
would get the votes of republican states
like Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, South
Dakota and Wyoming, five in all. as
soon as Harrison was dropped. Now
suppose the states whose representa-
tives in congress supported the Bland
bill last winter should stand by their
convictions and vote for the only oandi-
date favorable to free silver, what would
be the result? Every congressman from
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Missis-
sippi, Texas and Virginia voted
for free silver. Add these six states
to the alliance two and the republican
five that lean the same way and we
would have thirteen votes for a starter.
A majority Of the congressman from
eight other states; Alabama, Indiana,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, North
Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia
also voted for the Bland bill. These
congressman could deliver those
to q free coinage democrat. This
would bring the vote for the third party
nominee up to twenty-one or within two
of the necessary majority. Montana
would give him n vote il he we're

as Judge Dixon is a man who stands for
principle every time; and it would be
strange if the delegations from North
Dakota and Oregon would not furnish
two more for luck. The peoples party
is strong in both and the failure OF
Harrison or Cleveland to get a
majority in the electoral college would
set the republicans OF those states to
specializing over their own political sal
Here are interesting conditions for
to study. There are a great
many possibilities in the situation.
There is one certainty about it and that
is hat Harrison would not be Gin it" in
contest in the house of representa-"
Another certainty is that there
would be a geographical division Of the
vote rather than a political one. Republi-
cans and democrats alike in the eastern
states would be for Cleveland as against
the third party man. And one further
certainty is that if Cleveland were
by a vote of the house he would
have to get the support Of democratic
states that are for free coinage, and the
'ree silver combination in the house
could beat him If it set out to do it.

HAKRJSON'S MANAGER.

When Benjamin Harrison selected the
chief lobbyist of Phil Armour's dressed
beef combine for chairman of the re-
publican national committee some of his
fool friends explained that this was a
great piece Of political strategy designed
to capture the support Of ex-senator
Farwell, of Illinois, who is very bitter
against the president. How this astute
movement resulted is shown by a card
from Mr.. Farwell published in the
Washington Post, as follows:
/ see by the newspapers this morning
that at the urgent solicitation of the presi-
dedt of the United States, one William
James Campbell, of Illinois, has been made
chairman of the national republican COM
mittee. Three years 60. more or less,
while l was in the senate I recommended a
gentleman by the name of William J.
Campbell for the Office of collector of GUS
toms at Chicago. All the republican men,
bers Of ongress recommended this gentle
man ut the same time for the Office. The
president said that he was g. professional
lobbyist, was unfit for this position, and
that he would not appoint him. Will you
be kind enough to inform me whether the
Campbell appointed chairman of the ma,
tional committee is the same Campbell
whom Harrison refused to appoint to q
federal position because he was a profes.
sional lobbyist and was unfit for it?
Mr.. Farwell will not vote for Benja.
min Harrison. But probably Mr.. Har.
rison, who is a pretty nervy politician
figures that a man like Campbell car
buy him more votes than Farwell will
take away from him. Campbell is the
regulation Harrison type Of man, a com
bination Of Dudley and Wanamaker
The American people are destined tc
know him pretty thoroughly before the
campaign ends. Senator Vest started
him off we'll the other day in his speech
in the senate when he said: "He Is the
man who advised Armour to defy the
senate Of the United States and refused
to obey its subpoenas. This man is
nothing but a tool Of monopoly. He
was the ablest and most plant instru
mentality in the hands of Armour an,
his company in robbing the people ant
especially the cattle raisers Of the west
The cattle men of Montana will have
chance later to express to Mr.. Harriso,
their appreciation of this appointment
Their turn comes in November.
