But there is no certainty that con-

Secretary Hoke Smith left for
Georgia today to take part in the
state campaign and to explain to
the democratic voters why he
changed from silver to gold after
be became a member of Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet. The explanation
he gave in Washington was that
he never studied the question until
he entered the cabinet, but that
may not 60 down in Georgia.
Smith thinks and dreams of little
else but his desire to succeed Cor
don in the senate. 1t seems rath-
er queer that just as Mr.. Smith is
going into Georgia to preach
against silver that ex Speaker
Crisp, who will be one. Of Smiths
opponents in the fight for that
seat in the senate, and who is
silver man, or says he is, should
be getting ready to make a Euro

Verify, politics is an uncertain
game. This is constantly being
brought to mind, but there has
been no more striking reminder of
it than the assertion made here
this week by ex-senator Sanders,
Of Montana, that the republicans
Of Montana were in favor of the
nomination of John Sherman for
President. 1t would not have been
more astonishing had Senator
Hill declared in favor of third
term for Mr.. Cleveland, or the lat

nation of the former. Lest some
one should suppose this statement

ex-senator Sanders are appended
You can say for me that Mon
tana thinks that John Sherman is
the man for the place, and, al
though we have been informed by
hlm that he would not accept the
nomination if it were offered him,
our delegation will cast a compli-
mentary vote for the great finan-
cier.
