Silver Has the Facts.

In the effort to break the force OF the
silver argument. the opposition goes TO
illogical lengths: the misfortune is
that. almost universally in the East
there are no newspapers that put be-
fore the reading public there the an
swer to this unfair goldbug talk.
The Philadelphia Times is news
paper OF recognized influence. Its edi-
tor is one of the strong men i'm the
editorial service in this country; the
paper itself is of an independent turn
in politics.
But see how the Times deals with the
silver question. a few days ago. in
editorial comment, the Times tried to
scott at the idea that wheat and sill
yer have moved almost in parallel In
the downward tendency OF prices in re-
cent years. That silver and wheat
have suffered almost precisely share
and share alike. has been proven by
tables of figures covering the daily
quotations for a long term of years.
As silver has dropped so has the price
of wheat-both have lost in al
most precisely the same ratio.
In the editorial room of the Phila-
delphia Times this is a disagreeable
! fact to face. Accordingly. in n recent
edition. the Times gives the farmers
TO understand that wheat and silver
have no relations whatever, and IL
quotes the going price of wheat as
| proof Of it's assertion; it points with
| pride" TO the recent rapid advance in
| the daily quotations for wheat, show
| ing that silver has not kept company
| with wheat.
The truth is. the advance in the
| price of wheat within eight weeks has
| been remarkable. AS the Standard
said one day last week. the Chicago
| market has not hitherto seen the like
| OF IL. The board of trade seemed TO
| have gone mad: the daily transactions
were a riotous total; the quotations
varied two or three cents in an hour
and five cents over night. Speculation
never was more reckless. Veteran
| dealers tried TO hold the market down
but they failed. and they declared that
| they could not account for IL. 1t de-
| vcloped that back % all the excitement

, their might in order 20 unload at a

Mr.. Ores ham in Politics.

The late Secretary Gresham's final
appearance as a republican was at the
national convention held in Chicago
in June. 1855. Mr.. Cleveland having
managed TO make himself unpopular
with his own party during his first
term. the republicans felt sure of their
ability TO carry the country. and the
crop OF aspirants for the presidential
nomination was large-oleven candi-
dates were presented.
That was the year when Mr.. Depew
was in the field with about a hundred
votes for a starter. Jerry Rusk had
two dozen supporters. as also had In
gals. Alger, Allison and Phelps, of
New Jersey, were in the race. At first
Il appeared 10 be John Sherman's year;
he had been a candidate before the
convention Of 1850 and again in 1854.
In 1883 Sherman led handsomely when
the convention began to ballot. About
416 votes were necessary for a choice.
and Sherman started in with nearly
$40 of them. Next in strength stood
Gresham-he started out with III votes
and climbed 10 IA on the fifth ballot.
But Harrison was al Gresham's heels.
he too being from Indiana. Harrison
was back with the field during the
first part OF the race. but he passed
Sherman on the sixth ballot and was
winner on the seventh. As Harrison
gained, Gresham lost; on the nominal
ing ballot about 90 votes stuck TO Ores
ham.
AS the result OF the coaveation, Mr
Gresham was altogether disgruntled

ncKinley and Foraker.

At GAINESVILLE. the candidates for the
office of governor of Ohio are of ac-
count in n secondary sense only. 1t
makes little difference who gets the
nomination. as far as the man h nself
simply i'm that which relates to the
supremacy of Mckinley or a triumph
for Foraker.
1t is a war of factions. What Nc
Kinley wants is an adjustment in poll
tics that will make him cock-sure of
Ohios delegation to the republican ma
tional convention of next year. Foraker
wants to forbid this to Mckinley. but,
at the same time, Foraker wants
things so fixed up that he can be elect
ed to the federal senate; he hopes to
succeed Brice. Those whose eye has
been upon the situation in Ohio say
that at this hour Foraker has n little
the best of 1t: that is, he dares fight
more aggressively just now than does
Mckinley. 1t was supposed that For
aker was not to appear i'm person at
Zanesville-he had as much as said that
he would not be there. Evidently. how
ever, he concluded 10 CndHse ms NdC-
tics: he arrived on the scene yesterday
and, of course. a brass band and a
procession met him at the railway
station-Foraker may always be de-
pended on to fire off the rockets and
hire n band.
Let these wrangling rivals wear each
other out; to the public ii is of small
account which of them goes down. But
the people will be interested to know
what stand the Ohio republicans take
on the silver question. That they viii
try TO straddle is already clear

Quoting Mr.. Carter.

II IL IS political gossip you are after
during these May days you can get any
kind you want-rare or well done. fat
or lean, flesh or fowl. Mr.. Carter has
been much talked about since he went
cast. His own talking. as at first re-
ported. is not as aggressively for free
coinage as the talk of a man ought to
be who halls from Montana. still. II is
just enough TO get some of the goldbug
tongues wagging.
Some of the correspondents have IL
that Mr. Carter lately held a confer
ence with General Harrison. but that
Carter would not admit that politics
formed any feature Of the meeting.
At the same time several of the cor
respondents quote Mr.. Carter as say
ing that Harrison will probably have
the pull next year. that Morton may
start off at a very lively gait in the
race. with the chances more than even,
however, that Harrison can pass him.
Some such talk as this has been sent
out by a dozen Washington writers
within a week.
The aim of the reporters seemed TO
be TO find out whether Mr.. Carter pro-
posed to be for Harrison. but that
doesn't appear TO be a vital point at
all: the burning question now is
whether Harrison is for Carter. A
New York dispatch to the Cleveland
Press says that, the other day, eX-
President Harrison declared that Car
ter will not do for chairman and that
the republicans must have a non
silver man at the head of things. It's
likely that Harrison said this; he is
no friend of free coinage.
The Standard desires to do fun jus
| tice to Senator Carter. Some of the
| Washington correspondents quoted him
| in words that seemed TO us quite toe
| iingerly spoken. But IL the dispatch
sent to Cleveland is true. Carter die
| really spit IL right out when he was In
New York; elsewhere we quote this
morning the telegram printed in the
| Cleveland Press.
In an effort to be for silver and yet
| stand in with the republican polite
| ians, Mr.. Carter finds himself between
| the deep sea and the other fellow. HI
| might want to make up with Morton
whose chances are good and gettinl
| better. Mr.. Carter might as well tall
| free coinage TO a stone wall as to men
ton 1t to Morton. It's the same will
| Mckinley and Reed and Harrison
only they would not be as honest a
| Morton in their talk.

Our memory is that Mr.. Thomas @.
Merrill. acting as the temporary chair
man of the Salt Lake conference, sug-
gested that all hands have the right to
take part. but that the three accredited
delegates from each state and territory
be named as an executive committee
with full power to act. That course
would probably have rubbed off the
rough edge Of the trouble experienced
at Salt Lake We print this morning a
letter from Mr.. Merrill. He goes brief
ly over ground that has become famil-
lar TO the public. The controversy that
grew out Of the conduct Of those who
got up the conference is profitless.
Having said what it thinks and what.
as we find. the public in these parts un-
doubtedly thinks. the Standard does not
care TO keep the subject up. We under
stand that the motive OF Mr.. Merrill
letter is TO let the public know what
are the plans of the association that
was organized at Salt Lake.
