vesssn were not sufficiently rigid to with

the buoyancy would increase in greater
ratio than the displacement; and, on the
contrary, when the air is pumped out the
pressure OF the external atmosphere would

THE RESOLUTIONS.


The only sfnportans resolutions upon
which the state convention were divided
Ia opinion we're those regarding silver.
After a full debate the convention wisely
decided TO leave the silver question just
where il was left blythe national Republican
platform ofIs92 The resolution demanding
free silver at q coinage Of 10 20 ! was
voted down. together with the demand for
discriminating tariff against all countries
holding TO the gold standard. This de-
elsion VAS an eminently sensible eonciu-
sion.
The Republican party has always de-
ciared itself in favor of bi-metaiIism and
IL ready todsy for free silver when 10 comes
In form OF international bi-mssallism.
Had the convention rested here II would
hare done we'll. but IL subsequently re-
coded from this action and voted for the
free coinage Of silver at the ratio Of 10
10 /. with the qualification that IL shall
be silver produced by American mlnes.
There Is practically no difference whether
free silver be adopted with or without
this qualification. and the action of the
convention in receding from its FIRST posi-
ton was the unwiss undoing Of . thing
well done.

THE KEYSoTE OF THE CAMPAIGN.

In his recent speech at Bangor. Me-.
Gov. McKinley, Of Ohio, struck the key
note Of the Republican campaign. While
Gov. Mckinley comedies. as al intelligent
Republicans do. that the tariff of lsSe
could be improved in the Light OF knowl-
edge now obtaInabie, and in view Of the
changes which four years have wrought in
the condition Of trade and manufacsure,
nevertheless he with jussiEable pride
points cut that no other tariff ever secured
better results for the whole people. or SO
amply INDICATED itself IN the rapid and
healthy development Of home industries.
The moment that its repeal or radical.
revolutionary alteration was made certain
by the election of Cleveland and a Demo-
cratic congress the prostrstiou Of our in
dusiries began. The votes Of the people
in 1898 and 1884 are fairly quoted by Gov.
Mckinley as full and frank confession
that they were in error when they placed
the Democracy in power IN 1sa2
Gov. Mckinley quotes the frank confess
sion of Mills Of Texas that the new tariff
il favored by not loo people IN the
United States" he qzotes its condemns
ton by the Democratic house aud senate
and BY the president, who officially de-
clared that it settles nothing.
Gov. Mckinley exposes the shameless
sectionalism OF the new tariff; he recites
the closing OF mills, the loss of employ
mens, the reduction of wages. and the
prostration of industries; he shows how
the additions TO the free list have
been of wool, lumber and almost ex-
clusively of agricultural products; how
tie great reductions of duty have been
on tobacco, liquors. laces, eubroideries.
silks, chinaware and other Iuxuries which
are IN no sense necessary 70 q poor man;
he points out that the poor mans sugar Is
heavily taxed, while his wages have been
reduced TO meet the competition of
the repeal OF reciprocity treaties de-
pr.yes both farmers and manufacturers
of q large and growing market and finally
be points out that both the president and
Chairman Wilson announce that this new
tariff is only . mere beginning in the
scheme of the Democratic party TO de-
prive American industries of protection.
Gov. Mckiuisy's scheme of assault upon
the new tariff strikes the keynote of the
campaign. In the famous Grant-Greeley
campaign of 1872 Roscoe ConkIing made
one speech early in the contest, and SO
completely did he cover the whole ground
that every speaker who followed him. from
August to November. cast his speech ex-
actly on the lines of argument skefched
by ConkIing. Gov. Mckinley has made
speech of this sort; he has issued an order
of battle for the whole campaign.

Capt O'Toole in Poor Business.
Mnrut Ns~oaa Heraid

Many of our Democratic friends seem 10
think Capt. O'Toole was in very poor BUSH
ness when he turned aside from his land
office duties to try TO work mp a fusion be-
tween Democrats and Populists in Skagit
county. Perhaps he was; but the Captain
has promised Hugh Wallace at least one
TnIicum Democrat in the legislative delega-
ton, and on sizing up the situation he no
doubt concluded that the goods would be
hard to deliver unless aid could be called
in from some source The only prospect
for help lay ID the direction Of Populism.
The Captain is grateful to hugh Wallace
for services rendered him in the gratifying
of his own ambition, and ii he can reward
Hugh, the boss, with a Skagis county vote
for United States senator, he will have
succeeded in cancelIing this political obli-

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

No more state elections will take place
until November 8. when forty-one states
will vote for state officers and congress
men. Five state elections have taken place
thus far this year. In February Penn
syivania chose q congressman at large 10
FIJI vacancy in the present congress. The
Republican candidate was elected by over
1870 plurality. In April Rhode Island
elected Republican state officers by over
s.5o0 plurality. Oregon In June elected 3
Republican governor and two members of
the next congress. by 1890 plurality over
the Populists. Vermont has elected Re-
publican governor, legislature and two
members Of congress by 2s.0oo plurality
over the Democrats. and Maine has elected
. governor, legislature and four members
Of congress by $500 plurality over the
Democrats.
The returns from these five states show
very great Republican gains over lseo
Four years ago the Republicans had less
than 10000 plurality in these five states.
This year the plurality Is S02. 0o0.

IL they would succeed they must curtal
