TRANSPARENT APOLOGIES.

Several of our Republican exchanges
in apologising for the silence of the
Cleveland Convention, particularly as
to silver, make out a very poor case.
One of them offers this excuse:
The Convention represented Republi-
can clubs but not the Republican
party and therefore had no authority
to speak for the party.
1t was not supposed that when the
delegates from all parts Of the Union
assembled in Convention at Cleveland
they We're authorized TO speak for the
National Republican party. But it
was understood that they met for the
express purpose of acting for and
speaking for the Republican clubs or
leagues of the country. The idea that
they had no right TO speak at all for
anybody or on any matter of public
interest was not entertained, and SO
far as appears it was not suggested
until the silver question doomed up in
such formidable proportions that an
excuse was found to be absolutely
necessary in order to evade it.
If the National League Convention
had no authority to speak for itself
and for the people represented by the
delegates how is it that the clubs or
leagues represented at that convention
exercised the authority to issue resolu-
tons in their own individual capacity
in their respective localities? And why
did the National League Convention at
Denver only a year ago formulate
resolutions for the entire organization,
including the silver straddle which it
this time avoided?
Other papers still claim that the

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

The announcement in the dispatches
that the committee appointed after
the adjournment of the silver conven-
ton at Memphis. by the prominent
Democrats who were members of that
convention, have commenced practic-
ally the organization of free silver
men within the Democratic party. is
very encouraging. The address that
has been sent to the Democratic lead
ers throughout the country places
the silver question exactly right and
it will be endorsed by all the silver
Democrats in the United States.
The call issued by that committee
for silver convention vi Democrats
at Washington, D. c.. on the 18th of
August, 1885, should be responded to
by every Democratic organization in
the country. Silver conventions should
be held in every state of the Union and
the voice of the people should be
heard in unmistakable tones. No Part
of the United States should go unre-
presented at this convention called to
meet at the seat of government.
The Herald has contended from the
beginning Of the new agitation for
silver, that Democrats should worl.
for free coinage within the lines of
their own party. That they should
not suffer themselves ID be drawn
away from party allegiance That no
third party could possibly succeed. The
movement started at Memphis is in
the right direction, and the silver
Democrats everywhere should fall in
with it and help it forward until it
shall become irresistible.
Eminent Democratic orators are to
come west to stimulate their brethren
and help to secure a Democratic vic
tory in 1896. 1t will be of very little
use to send any but silver Democrats
to these regions. However sound they
may be on other principles of Demo-
cratic doctrine, if they are goldites or
straddlers they will not be likely to
receive much of an ovation from the
people of the west.
What is needed is a silver campaign
in the east. That is a much greater
necessity than Democratic oratiors
from eastern men in the west. We
shall be glad to see and hear the wise
men of the East but they will not be
viewed as very wise men unles5 they
come bringing with them a silver
light.

Do LAWYERS RESPECT THE LAW.

With d gccd many of them the chief
aim and end of life seems to be to find
loopholes in the law by which it's purpose
can be defeated. In ordinary practice at
the bar a legal bubble counts for more
than principle or justice. AS many suits
are won on technicalities as on their
merits. Many big corporations hire the
best lawyers they can find to study means
by which the law can be evaded without
mourning the penalties that would attach
to direct violation. Does it betoken re-
spect for the law on the part of the law
yerS that they so willingly lend them
selves to such work?-Buffalo Express.

1.-THE Republican general assembly.
which met here last winter, was the
mos. corrupt legislative body that ever
assembled in the state. It's proceedings
l5ere disgraceful from start to finish
1T bred nothing but scandals. 1t was
dominated by the lobby and no de-
cert Republican has attempted to de-
fend its record. The only apology made
for It is that many OF its members
were nominated with no expectation
of election. They were named merely
to fill places on the ticket and were
carried through on the landslide. They
Were for the most part a set of ir-
responsibles, and when they came to

absolutely no eEd to this record of
Republican dishonesty and incapacity?

ststatents, for goodness sake. trot it

The message Of President Cleveland to

popular craving to learn just how the

Fields Joke ON the Makeup.


When Eugene Field was city editor
of the Kansas City Times, he found
great amusement in annoying one Of
the characters employed on the paper.
Ferguson was one of the "make-ups'
on the papes, and in Wyandotte, where
he resided, just over the line from
Kansas City, he was the leader Of q
local temperance society. For over
year, Field, on coming down to the
paper to go to work, would write per-
sonal concerning Ferguson. General
ly 1t ran like this: "Mr. John Fergu-
son, the well-known makeup of the
Times composing room, appeared for
work. yesterday evening in his usual
beastly state of intoxication." This
entertaining bit Field would send down
in some bundle of copy, and the others
of the composing room would set 1t up
and say nothing. Poor Ferguson knew
that this awful personal was in their
midst. and every night would go care
fully over every galley for the purpose
Of locating and killing 1t. 1t gave him
vast trouble. Every now and then Field
would not write his personal about
Ferguson, and then the bedeviled Fer
guson was worse off than ever. AS
long as he could not find it, 1t might
still be there. 1t almost drove the poor
man off the paper. Now and then 1t
escaped his eagle eye and was printed.
On such occasions Ferguson's burdens
were beyond the power of even Chris
tan spirit to bear.
