II am afraid the Democratic party will
make concessions to the silver men in the
platform adopted at the next national con-
vention. II it does, despite all past mis-
takes, it will sweep the country. If neither
party gives silver the recognition it deserves.
new party will spring up that will sweep
the country like wildfire. "-SenGtOr Mitchell
OF Oregon.
Senator Mitchell need not borrow trou-
BILE on account of what be fears the next
National Democratic convention will do.
If its concessions to the silver kings
amount to free coinage, then the congress
that was elected last November will elect
the next President and save all parties the
trouble. The ''new party' that he thinks
will ''sweep the country like wildfre" will
not be in it.

There is politician out in Hayes
Centre who is basely ungrateful to the
editor Of the Republican Of that place.
The last issue Of the Republican con-
tains the following: THE ingratitude
politicians is one Of the cruellest phases
OF politics. 1t is rare politician who
appreciates what you do for him.
Most Of them think that you have but
done your duty, and if they are defeated
they are apt to feel that you have not
done enough, or attribute their defeat
to some of your mistakes. The can
didate for Office is liable to get the big
head and to think that it is sort of
honor to support him. Listen to the
words Of experience, and never tie
yourself. body and soul, to any man who
wants an Office. Now and then there is
a golden-souled politician who is
grateful for what you do for him. But
he is like the angels are said to be-"

man Mercer is once more on American
soil. So soon as his peaceful coun-
tenance spreads it's light on this

perplexing problems with which the
government is beset." The Bee delights
in filings of this sort. 1t has never
liked Dave Mercer, and being unable to
say anything against him it has resorted
to innuendo. AS matter OF fact Mr..
Mercer is one is one OF the most I'M
assuming and efficient of Nebraskas

George Horn says a man with a
strange look on his ace was caught out
on the frontier Of the Fifth ward the
other day. The man was tied and then
asked what Office he was a candidate for.
His captors, all OF them Fifth warders,
sustained a severe shock, when the man
replied "none." He was sent to the

on the part OF Mr.. Stephenson was fore
Swallowed by The COULTER couple OF
weeks ago, and was no surprise to those
who have kept themselves informed Of
political events and possibilities. Mr..
Stephenson, as is known to a number Of
people, seriously considered the advis-
ability Of becoming a candidate for
denomination for treasurer last spring,
and at one point had nearly decided to
permit his name to go before the con-
vention. Since that time there has been
talk of his entering into the present
campaign as candidate, and those
persons who understand the reasons why
Mr.. Stephenson's friends should be par
ticularly DESTROYS Of securing the
nomination for clerk OF the district
court for him have counted on his being
an important factor in this campaign.
All through last week Mr.. Stephenson
was feeling his ground in the Third
Ward and by Friday he had made up
his mind definitely, to become can
didate. The day following public
announcement was made. The candi-
dacy of Mr.. Stephenson precluded
the retirement Of Charley Waite. and
the latter has now withdrawn, and is
working among his friends to secure the
nomination Of Stephenson. Waite and
Stephenson have long worked together
in politics and. to a considerable extent,
the friends of one are the friends Of the
other. Waite will try and have as many
Stephenson men as possible on the First
ward delegation.
There are numerous candidates for
Office in Mr.. Stephenson's ward, the
Third. Dick Young. who wants to be
sheriff, is noted as a swift runner, and
should affairs so shape themselves that
Young and Stephenson will contest for
the delegation, lively fight would be
the result. Stephenson's friends will
try moral suasion on Young, and they
hope to avoid a clash. Beckman is
neutral so far as other candidates are
concerned: The administration il
strongly entrenched in the Third, and
this power will be exerted in Stephen.
sons behalf. Should he get the ward
as now seems probable, there is pretty
sure to be a triangular fight in the con.
vention, the best information warrant
ing the belief that Sizer will be success
full in getting in from the Fifth and
Low from the Fourth.
