The St. Louis Convention.

Topeka Press.
No man can read carefully the pro-
ceedings of the silver convention that
has just closed its remarkable session
at st. Louis, without being impressed
with 1.-THE earneStneSS, ability and
high character of its entire deliber-
atiOnS and the sound, temperate and
patriotic tone of its conclusions. The
convention was made up of many
able men. some of whom are national
characters. They gave time and
study to the work to be dOhe, and as
a result their deliberations were char
acterized by marked ability. The
platform they adopted was one con-
sructed upon the deep convictions of
right and the patriotic consideration
of the welfare Of the entire country.
SectionaliSm, which has so often
reared its hOrrid face across the path
way Of national deliberations and leg
iSlation in this country, was banished
from the hearts of the delegates,
and the spirit Of brotherhood, one
people and one country. manifested
in the thrilling episode enacted by
the governors of two states whose
past histories cut such conspicuous
and opposing figure in the dark days
Of civil strife, marked a new epoch in
the progress and unity Of our great
nation. When Governors LewelIing

A Deserving Candidate.

ArgOnia Clipp,..
1t is getting time now for voters to
consider the claims of the various
candidates for county offices. The
Clipper, it must be remembered, is
not a political paper, but has always
taken the privilege of advocating the
election Of men from this locality
that we have believed to be worthy
and competent, and we want to say
that there is one man on the POpulist
ticket this year that we want to see
elected. That man is Wm. Jackson,
of Milan, candidate for register G'
deeds. Mr.. Jackson is unfortunate
in having his lower limbs paralyzed,
and having small means, it is hard
work fer him to make a living for his
family. Being well acquainted with
him and seeing the energy he put
forth in his little business and the
very patient manner in which he has
borne his aiilictiOn, our earnest SYM
pathies have gone out for him and
now we hope that he will be favored
with a better means of earning sup
port, by being elected to this office.
We knew him before he met with
this severe affliction and have always
liked him. He is a competent busi-
ness man and is well qualified for the
office Of register of deeds.

Silver is not advancing in price, but
wheat is. How does this happen,
Mr., PopuliSt, when your theory
makes silver and wheat 90 up and
down together? If there is any con-
nection between them, the uniting
link seems to get broken pretty often.
I-NOaitor.
1t would not be strange if they var
led few days at time, although
we dispute it at the present time)
but as the years roll by the official
statistics show that wheat and all
other staples keep the same relative
value. while the one article, gold, has
advanced. This fact SilenceS all your
rldicule. But why do you say "Mr.
POpulist?" You taught US the afin-
ity between wheat and silver your
self, but it was when wheat and sill
yer were advancing. In your issue of
August %, 1890, you stated to your
readers that
"The new silver bill, by raising the
price of silver nearly thirty per cent
on a gold basis, has increased the val
ue of the farm products, according to
the New York Sun, at least fifty mil
lions of dollars already. In the for
eign markets the principal compet-
itOrS of the United States on meats
and breadstuffS have been Silver-us-
ing nations like India and Russia. If
it takes more gold than before to get
silver with which to purchase India
and Russian wheat, the American ce-
reals have appreciated in value just
that much in English ports"
If an advance in the price of silver
was responsible for The advance in
wheat, why is not the decline in sill.

wheat? Come, neighbOr, Tote fair

national and five hundred and fifty
state banks have been recorded.
Nearly one-half Of the national banks
that failed have already resumed and
only about twelve per cent of the

party declares in its platform in IA

part of the cOuntry'S currency in the

sible observation-disclosures.
