Ohio SNEAK. TIL. Week.

On Monday and Tuesday OF this week
rs we stated the other day. the Repub-
lcan State convention Of Ohio Will be
held at GAINESVILLE to nominate candl-
dates for Governor and other State on
GERS. and TO lay down a platform upon
which the Republicans OF that State can

Convention. We suppose there Is no
reason 10 doubt that Governor Mckinley
Viii by that convention be presented 10

as her candidate for the next presidency
Of the United States.

present circumstances in agreeing upon a
tarin plank for their state platform
upon which they can so into the next
Republican National Convention
But the Republicans OF Ohio Will be
called upon Of GAINESVILLE to lay down also
Il silver plank upon which not only the
Republicans OF that State but the Repub-
leans Of the whole country can stand in
the approaching presidential campaign.
This Is the work which the GAINESVILLE
convention will find the most difficult the
Republicans OF the Buckeye State have
had to undertake for many years. Alien
w. Thurman charges Secretary Carlisle
with revamping John Shermans old
speeches, and giving them to TIE public
as representing the Administrators f.
nancial policy; but this contention can
hardly be successfully maintained in
Ohio. The two parties will make their
own platforms. and the nominees OF each
party Will be sustained by their own
party. Tire silver question IL burning
one IN Ohio. and II is to this question
that each party viii address itself In the
elections OF next November. and conse-
quently In the campaign which Is to
precede those elections.
II may be argued on one side that on
the silver question the Republicans can
not possibly hope 10 draw any consde-
rable number OF recruits from the Demo-
cratic party. and so might as well as not
lay down a strictly monometallist plank.
IL may be argued on the other side that
the Democrats cannot possibly hope to
draw any considerable number Of re-
cruits from the Republican party, and so
might as well as not lay a free-silver-
coinage plank. But the condition OF
things in Ohio to-day will not warrant
anybody in being too confident as TO how
silver will figure in the GAINESVILLE con-
vention next week. We think, however.
IL may be predicted that as the Wash
ington Post remarks. what that body says
on the silver question may be fatal
thing for the Mckinley boom. or give 1t
a glorious impetus"

The Russinn Octopus.

II Russia gets from Japan half the
concessions she is said to have demanded
the japanese may well ask. What did
we fight the war with China for? Not
satisfied with securing, as he is said to
have done. n promise from Japan OF re-
llnquishment Of the conquered territory
on the Llao-Tung peninsula, the Car is
now credited with seeking to establish
protectorate over Korea. In fact, II Is
stated that a Russian column has already
been sent into Manchuria and that this
is the first practical step toward the
contamination Of the designs Of the Rus
sian octopus upon the Hermit Kingdom.
Should Russia succeed in taking Korea
under her protectorate. Japan would be
worse of. so far as her interests in Korea
are concerned, than she was before she
declared war against China. Instead OF
having to contend In Korea with Rus
sian influence working through Chinese
agents. she would be confronted directly
with that influence. 1t would not be long
before Russia would dominate absolutely
the Hermit Kingdom and attain the end
in that quarter of the globe for which
she has so long been striving. That end,
as is we'll known. is. the possession Of a
port in Korean waters.
But since Russia has disclosed her true
game and the full measure of her greedi-
ness, the question suggests itself more
forcibly than ever before, VIII Japan be
left without assistance in dealing with
her? We think not. We have always en-
tertained the opinion that the final set
Element between China and Japan. as
far as IL concerned the European Powers
was still some distance ahead. The latest
developments respecting Russia's designs
in Manchuria and Korea, confirm us in
that opinion. While Germany and France
have made known their attitude regard
ing the adjustment, Great Britain. as
we have heretofore noted. has been
strangely non-committal. not TO say
silent. When. however. we consider how
her interests would suffer by the con-
Of the Russian designs re-
ferred TO. II would seem that the time
has arrived for her to speak, and that
we may expect her 10 speak in no unmis-
taxable terms. Furthermore, we may ex-
pect that the developments under discus
sion will cause the court of Berlin TO
withdraw it's half-hearted support from
Russia, which was never popular with
the German masses.

How We Won at Hou,to,.

II the esteemed Richmond Dispatch does
not mind, We wish IL would tell us
whether IL is true or not that Major e.
b. Stahlman took an active part in the
campaign at Houston? Undoubtedly, a
discrimination was practiced against
Charleston In this case. and we have be-
come so accustomed TO associate Major
Stahlman with Determinations against
Charleston in Richmonds interest that
we fear he must have had a finger in this
Confederate ple.-The Charleston Is. c.
News and Courier.
We answer no. You must acquit Stahl-
man Of this charge.
We doubt II we could have won at
Houston but for the fact that we made 1t
plain to the meeting that it was the
duty OF the United Confederate Veterans
to be present and TO take charge of the
laying OF the cornerstone OF the monu-
ment to President Davis in Richmond
next May.
And then, you know. there are thou
sands Of Vlrginians and descendants OF
Virginians scattered throughout the
South. and of these many were at Hous-
ton. and almost without exception they
worked and argued. and were ready to
fight for Richmond.
To these two circumstances. and to
the eloquence and good management OF
our representatives at Houston, we owe
the fact that Richmond was chosen as
the place for the next annual meeting.
instead Of Charleston. or Atlanta, or
Memphis.
BY the way. the News and Courier
says that there are "only two places in
the South where great reunion OF Con-
federate veterans could with due regard
to the fitness Of things, hold their re-
unions--Charleston and Richmond" And
II adds that, while 1t is sorry that
Charleston lost. IL is glad that Richmond
won-"the two most typical cities of the
Southern Conference.-The two centres
OF thought and feeling which. while not
unmindful Of the present and OF its duties
and obligations. are still faithful to the
immutable past We are gal that Major
Barker. speaking for Charleston. moved

nous and we are pleased most OF all that
Charleston has preserved the elbow-touch
with the men who won imperishable honor
by their heroic conduct more than
generation ago"

Thur.dnY,s Elections.

In n recent interview with reporter
OF the Washington Star General Malone
said that by the time OF the next guber-
material election in this State Virginia
would be ready to hand over her Offices
10 the Republicans" The returns OF
Thursdays elections give no indication
OF any such purpose. on tho contrary.
with no little temptation on the part OF
cur voters 10 split UP or to stay at home.
we find. taking the State as whole. that
the Democratic organization was strong.
vgilant, and enthusiastic. The result is
that we have met with few losses. and
have made many gains. In other words.
our party on Thursday last not only did
we'll but did better than the most san
gune had hoped for. The Populists
showed little strength. and the Republi-
cans gained hardly anything by
coalescing with them.
II also appears that the Walton cleo
tion-law gave greater satisfaction than
II did last November. and this, too, not
withstanding the fact tnat by reason OF
the multiplicity OF candidates II was
subjected to far severer test than when
IL was first tried.
We admit that there Is evidence that
the law IL not popular in some counties.
We concede that the general opinion is
that it needs careful revision: but. all
the same. we doubt II any other State
has succeeded better with a new cleo
Il ufrf~ hau NIT
In nearly oil the States where the
Australian-ballot system has been tried,
1t has been found necessary to make re-
peated revsions OF the laws to conform
them to the suggestions OF experience.
When our General Assembly meets in
December 1t will be called upon to amend
the Walton law In many particulars, and
this we can rely upon its doing faithfully
and 10 the satisfaction OF all satisfable
people Meanwhile. however, the law will
have its third trial. 1t ought to work
very smoothly then. They are mighty poor
election-ofiicers who cannot conduct an
election smoothly after such experience
as they had in November and on Thurs
day last
We think that the Walton law is
stronger in popular favor now than 1t
was Immediately after the November
election of 1894. and we trust and believe
that it will be stronger still after the
legislative elections which are to take
place this fall.
1t Is rather odd that some who were
violently opposed to the Walton law at
the beginning, have become tolerably
friendly 10 it since there has been so
much talk about constitutional con-
venton!
