PALMER'S OPINION.
Some Good Western Man Wanted fol
Democratic Presidential Timber

Some Good Western Man Wanted for
Democratic Presidential Timber
CHICAGO, Nov. ga Washington
special TO the Journal Press says: "The
Democratic party has done many foolish
things, no doubt, but in heavens name
let US not violate our most sacred tradi.
tion by nominating Cleveland for a third
term" said Senator John NJ. Palmer
today: 81 don't think he would accept,
but whether he would or not, we should
not think of nominating him again. 1
am supporter of Cleveland, but not for
3 third term-either Cleveland or any
body else. Let us have a western man
next time-Morrisen, if he wants it, Car
Isle if he will take it.
''Legislation this session? There won't
be any to speak of, either for currency or
TO make up the deficiency. We will be
in session about eight months president
making. l would not be surrrised if
the session were to bring out some presi-
dental timber of both sides thus far un-
known"
Senator Palmer SCOTS at the talk of
war with England over Venezuela and
says that if the Cuban insurgents repre-
Bent the great body of the natives and
are fighting for the liberty of the whole
people, he is with them. He believes
that Tanner will be the next governor of
Illinois and Cannon the next senator.

DAVIS FOR PRESIDENT.
KnUte Nelson Says His Colleague is in the
Race for Sure This Time.

Race for Sure This Time.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29-"Minnesota has a
candidate for president-Cushman K.
Davis-and will push his claims in the
convention just as long as he has any
possible show OF getting the nomina-
ton"
United States Senator Knute Nelson OF
ST. Paul enroute to Washington made
this declaration last evening He con-
tinued: "But there is no telling what
the convention will do. All the candi-
dates, Mckinley. Reed, Morton and AL
lisou are strong men. If we have to let
Senator Davis out of the race then l
think the Minnesota delegation will be
eventually divided between Mckinley
and Reed. g
Il do not see wherein congress can do
anything particular in the way of legis-
lation to influence the action of the par
ty next year in its selection of a candi-
date for president The issues have al
ready been made. l hardly imagine we
will be able to do great deal of special
Legislation this winter. While the lower
house is Republican the Democrats and
Populists have the balance of power in
the senate and of course the executive
branch is with them However, some
thing will be done with the financial
question, and whatever is done l am in
clined to think will be in the nature of a
compromise. An effort will also be made
to SO rearrange the tariff laws as to stop
the tremendous imDortations."

Scarcely Any Doubt That the Man Ol

Scarcely Any Doubt That the Nan on
the White Horse Is He.
DENVER, Col, Nov. 29.-It is now al
most certainly determined that the man
on the white horse seen going southwest
is really Schlatter.
He is today not far from Walsenburg,
taking inf req uented trails southwark
into New Mexico. He may be a pros
pector who is imposing upon the Gre
dulity of the people with whom he meets,
but the testimony now has become so
abundant as to warrant the belief that
this man on horseback is Schlatter.
At Elizabeth, at Overton and now at
Greenhorn the sparsely settled COM
munities believe the stranger is Schlat-
ter. George Sears, q ranchman on the
Greenhorn, thirty miles southwest of
Pueblo. wired from Graneros station on
the Denver & Rio Grande, this message:
"Francis Schl after, the healer. took
dinner at my house today. going south
wardly. He told me he rode through
the storm Thursday night. On Friday
morning he camped in an abandoned
cabin on the Greenhorn and remained
there till Monday morning. know him
to be Francis Schlatter, the healer, hav-
ing seen him in Denver
Several ranchmen of the Greenhorn
country have corroborated this report to
the station agent ! at Graneros.
Schlatter told Mr.. Sears he had suffer
ed severely from exposure during the
snow storms of the last week, and that he
had travelled all the way from Den
yer by unfrequented ways aud much OF
the distance by night in order 10 avoid
being seen. He says he will go to Albu-
querque, where he will begin a forty
days fast.
ROUSE. Col, Nov. 90. = Francis
SchIatter, the healer, passed through
this coal mining village this afternoon
mounted upon grey horse. A
number of people who had seen him
in Denver positively identified him. His
coming had been anticipated by rumors
which came from Walsenburg last night.
He was met distance from town by
nearly the entire population, who flocked
about and begged him to give them the
healing grasp. The healer dismounted
and grasped the hand of every one
who came to him. He did not talk and
refused to answer questions. He said
only that he was going south and that he
had travelled twenty miles during the
day. After everybody had shaken hands
with him he mounted his horse and rode
on.

Ingalls,. from Kansas, spent Thanksgiv-
ing Day at the Hotel Victoria in this

ing on the outside to be particularly
thankful for, SO he remained in his room
and spent the afternoon reading the news
papers and writing letters. After dinner
he lighted cigar and relaxed in conver-
sation.
He spoke of the day of Thanksgiving,
and felt thankful that on this night he
did not have to be picking his way over
icy tagging and acr oss mushy crossings.
"What do you think, SENATOR" he was
asked, 'tare some of the things that tho
people ought to be most thankful for to-
day."
"Well, there are many things to be
thankful for The worst never happens,
and we ought to be thankful for that
We ought to be thankful for all that is
good as distinguished from all that is
evil.
The American people ought to be
profoundly thankful that we are rid of
Corbett and Fitzsimmons. My opinion
is that Corbett displayed the greatest
finesse of the two in backing down and
getting out of public notice, but it is a
cause for thanksgiving that neither of
them will be heard from more.
'Itssis a reason for thanks giving tn at
we are not likely to be afflicted with any
more international marriages for the
present, and that Dunraven's rawlings are
not likely to involve Great Britain and
the United States in any controversy in
which force of arms will have to be ap-
pealed to.
THE people of Chicago ought to be
thankful that forty-seven people have
not been killed by the trolley since 1894
see by a local newspaper that only
forty-six have been killed since then.
''And the whole country will give
thanks because there will be only one
more year of Democratic rule. It will
be thankful that the Republican party is
to be restored to power in one year; that
the revenues of the government will in-
crease, and that gold shipments to Europe
will cease"

P. d. Armour Talks of Establishing Pack
ing Plants in Argentine Republic.
NEW YORK, Nov. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
Minister Zeballos, who represented this
government in Washington, has had
some very important correspondence
with P d. Armour of Chicago concern
ing the meat trade of this country. Dir.
Armour solicited the correspondence,
and was given facts and figures that may
result in great benefit to the trade. His
attention was called to the fact of the in-
creasing value of the cattle trade here
and the corresponding falling off of the
same in the United States plainly showed
the great opportunity offered the estab-
lishment of a abattoir in this country
similar to Mr. Armour's Chicago plant.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Nov. 29.-Capt
II. J. King. of this city, a Missouri
river steamboat man of thirty five years
experience and who has kept a

THE New York Independent has
again broken ont ON "honest money.
We are still undecided as 10 whether
its editor is an ignoramus or scoun-
drel. He is certainly one or the other;
for certainly no man could honestly
talk such rauting nonsense a was pub
lished in the issue of The Independent
of July Is, under the editorial caption.
Honest Money" unless he were in
utter ignorance of monetary science.
We verify believe the editor in that
article has not brought as much horse
sense to bear upon the problem of
money as a horse jockey does in an
every. day horse trade. 1t is based en-
tirely on the assumption that the gold
dollar is the only honest money, and
that silver is dishonest money. Moth
is given which can be taken as reason
for such an assumption. As matter
of fact The Independent seems 70 be
in utter ignorance of the fact that the
imposition on the people Of dear
dollar, and one continually growing
dearer, is dishonest transaction, a
robbery of the debtor under the forms
of law. The creditor has been per-
mitted to rob the people; and now,
any action to prevent the continuance
of the robbery is characterized as dis
honest. 1t Is merely another case of
"thief crying stop thief.
