MOTION FOR PRESIDENT.

The New York World Of last Tuesday
says: Thomas c. Plat, the New York
Republican boss. was seen last night
by a reporter and said; II do not know
that Governor Morton is . candidate for
the Presidency. II he is he has not con-
fided in me, and I have no further means
oil getting trustworthy information on
the subject" eff you should learn that
he is q candidate would you help him oil
you could ?" queried the reporter. "Yes,
l would do all l could to advance his
cause" replied Senator Plat. "Do you
think the delegation from this State
would indorse him 2" asked the newspa-
Der man. II don't see how they could
do anything else than support Governor
Morton" answered Plat. "1n fact, l
have NO doubt whatever that the delega.
tion would indorse him heartily it he is 9
candidate" When Morton ran for Gov.
ernor be was backed by all the railroads
of the State Of New York. Chauncey
Depew, President Of the New York Cen.
trail Vanderbilt's road), was the man
who named Morton for Governor. and he
is behind him now for President. A
short time ago an international meeting
of railroad representatives was held in
London. Delegates representing ell the
great trunk lines of railroad in this
country were present. The Prince OF
Wales presided at that meeting. At the
time the meeting was being held many
Eastern newspapers asserted that the
gathering of railroad men in London had
more significance attached TO ID regard
ing the election Of q President in this
country next year than for the purpose
of extending and improving international
commercial relations. The superstition
is that if Morton or any other railroad
man is put up for President next year.
he will not only have all the great rail-
roads Of this country behind him. but
substantial assistance will be given him
from the other side OF the Atlantic.

When Harvey drove Horr into . cor
ner the other day in their debate on the
proposition of the former gentleman that
the people who are in debt to the gold
bugs should not be forced to give up two
dollars worth Of one kind Of property
to pay . debt Of n dollar through the
increased purchasing power OF gold,
Horr shrieked out: "The disease that
Harvey has never dies out. He has
reached the last stages of it. That is the
trouble. What he wants and what the
silver men are after is to destroy all
property and to put this Nation on q so
cialist and anarchist basis" According
10 Mr.. Horr's argument ell men who be-
iieve in rehabilitating silver as primary
money are anarchists.

O. q. GOODWIN OF UTAH.

We understand that c. G. Goodwin,
editor Of the Salt Lake Tribune, is a can.
didate for the U. S. S~enatorship from
Utah. under the auspices Of the Repub-
lican party. While be was formerly q
resident Of this State, he will be more
recently remembered as the gentleman
who visited Nevada last year making
campaign speeches against such silver
men as Francis G. Newlands, Senator
Jones and the Silver party candidates in
general. He also took great pleasure in
ridiculing A. j. Warner, who made a
couple Of addresses in the State with
Senator Jones. Mr.. Goodwin is now
writing very strong silver articles, but.
If his past record is any criterion to go
by, should be be successful in his candi-
dacy, be would be an apostle of the Re-
publican party in the United States Sen.
ate, not a true representative of Utah
and the West.
While we are not entirely familiar
with the situation in Utah, ID would
seem to us that there must be some able,
sincere and fearless silver advocate
within her border who is far seeing
enough to throw off all allegiance to the
old parties and declare that Utah, like
Nevada, must be true to her own inter-
est in preference to bending the knee to
the agents Of the gold power of Wall
street and Europe represented by John
Sherman and Grover Cleveland. With
such q leader an organization could soon
be perfected that would be as successful
as the Silver party of Nevada has been
during the past two campaigns.
Mr.. Goodwin will also be remembered
as the gentleman who attended the last
two meetings of the National Republican
League at Denver and Cleveland, respec.
lively, and refused to raise his voice in
%silver's behalf except behind closed doors
in secret committee meetings. The West
has no use for such representatives in
Washington. We must have more patri.
OTIS and fewer sycophant party followers.
When the campaign gets right warm in
Utah the Silver party OF Nevada will see
to it that Mr.. Goodw win is showed up in .
proper manner if il has to send public
speakers there to do it.-Winnemucca

"We who spend our entire time in Ne.
vads, said a reporter of one Of our Vir-
ginis contemporaries. while in converse
tion with Senator Jones regarding the
silver question, Unjust necessarily rely
wholly upon press dispatches and East
ern newspaper talk for our information"
When the Senator was asked il in his
opinion these dispatches gave a correct
impression regarding the figure silver is
cutting in politics, the Senator said:
81 do not think that the press dis
patches regarding the silver question sent
throughout the country by the great
news gathering agencies are calculated
to give correct impressions-from the
fact that the great money power, and
thorough organization of those who are
opposed to the free coinage of silver,
have control Of the great institutions OF
the country. The question OF silver in
politics involves more than any issue
since the civil war. 1t has now become
a principle for which the people are
making a fight. 1t is a fght for emanci-
patton from q slavery imposed by those
who control the gold Of the world.
Never before in the history Of nations has
the richer class so completely democrat.

81 want every man and woman IN
America who wishes to preserve free gov
ernment TO this Republic to read the
Congressional Record giving the words
uttered in the Senate on January IL,
1873. 10 shows that the silver dollar
was in the bill that came from the House
that was to put Us on the French ratio,
and that the Senate agreed to il. Mr..
sherman himself extolled it and said that
10 was Q dollar that would float around
the world.
"This dollar was agreed to by both
Houses and was in the bill when it went
to the conference. The duty Of the con-
ference committee was to settle disputed
questions on which the two Houses had
disagreed. The silver dollar was not one
Of the questions on which the two Houses
had disagreed, and yet the bill turns up
| enrolled with the silver dollar erased
from the bill by the conference commit
tee. Senator Sherman and Mr.. Hooper
| Of the House handled the bill and either
| these two men or Q corrupt clerk made
| the omission.
1.-THE significance Of this can be best
understood when l say that these men
represented that they were re-enacting
the law of 1853, excepting changing the
size Of the silver dollar, and under the
law Of 1853 the silver dollar only had
free access to the mints."
Mr.. Harvey said he was accused by
Mr.. Horr Of finding fault with men and
conditions for the reasons, as he charged,
that the silver people delighted to do so.
Mr.. Harvey continued:
"He has touched q phase Of human ma.
ture on which volumes might be written,
and it is q hope Of all who take an active
interest in the promotion Of civilization
that the time will come when there will
be nothing but content and happiness on
this earth. But to reach that period we
must remove the obstacles in the way.
The argument he makes has been used in
ages to fortify and defend the many.
There is one instance in this country
when that argument was made, and the
answer to it was the Declaration Of indie
pendence.
"Later the King issued IN amnesty
proclamation offering peace to those whit
would lay down their arms, and the in
sidious tongue told the people they vert
pessimists to further arraign the condi.
tions under which they were living. Th'
answer to that was Yorktown. You can
not deter men who know their rights AMI
dare maintain them by an argument tina
is intended to lure them from the sub
ject to which they invite your intelligen
analysis. Mr.. Horr's inappropriate Ian
guage consisted Of words that might b
addressed to slaves, but not to free men.

A lady travelling in japan writes about
her experiences in shopping in Japanese
cities. She does not pretend to under.
stand the intricacies of the silver
question, but she finds native goods ex.
ceedingly cheap and imported goods as.
tonishingly high. The fall in the price
Of silver has made no difference in the
cost Of labor or material. but as foreign
goods are paid for in gold they have risen
to about twice their former price. Gar
ments will be made on the silver basis,
but cloth of the best varieties is sold at
gold prices. However annoying this may
be to tourists il must be good for home
trade. If everything that is imported
into into California should double in
price there would be q lively demand for
the homemade article. The result Of
this condition in Japan will be the i'm
portation of goods from silver countries
or the use Of homemade goods. II will
not be long before the Japanese factories
will supply the markets with goods equal
to the imported ARTICLES. F. Post.

by Republican candidates and put il in
pools with Democratic candidates to aid

licars to obtain nominations for office in

nenis whom he favored. II has been
further charged that he is in the habit OF
sneaking around through the country
quietly praising the met who have aided
him in his nefsrious schemes and SIAN
dering ell who have opposed him.
Now il is charged that he has been
scheming to use the public schools to re.
ward his friends, and to some extent has
succeeded. Probably il would be diff
cult to prove some Of these charges by
the very best evidence, but that some OF
them are susceptible Of positive proof
there can be no doubt. Long immunity
from punishment and wealthy backing
has made this man bold. Long immunity
from punishment and wealthy backing
made Boss Tweed bold, but he was pun

the honesty of a vast majority of the
people. and when fully informed Of the
political and official course of this man
they will apply an effective remedy for
the evils he has and is inflicting on the
State and county.
l am aware that his sympathisers and
co-workers in political and official cor
ruption will attempt his defense. You
can detect every rotten spot in the COM
munity by their talk. But facts are
stubborn things. and l propose in future
articles to state facts, either we'll known
or Of record, to ~substantiate the charges
above referred to, and test the honesty
