 It is hard matter to predict
 at the present time what the out
 come of the political conventions
 will be. Both republican and
 democratic leaders are sorely
 puzzled oyer the silver question. II
 concessions are not made to the
 advocates of silver a lively scene
 will be witnessed at both conven-
 tions. and there Is scarcely a doubt
 hut that there will be bolt of the
 silver delegates it there Is an at-
 tempt made to disregard their
 wishes. The formation of silver
 party would be the result, and with
 the south and west united on this
 question the gold standard men
 would not have it ali their own way.
 This government has been dilatory in demanding from France, the
 immediate release ot ex-Consui Waller, who was tired by a French courtmartial in MsdA sascar and sentenced to 2O years imprisonment
 This is au outrage that should de . mand the attention of our state

 ment decided to remain in Mada
 Vascar. His business required hi , presence amongst the Horas, and a

 tence was an outrage that should b
 enauired into without delay. Franc
 should be taught a salutary lesseI le we cannot afford to be browbeate To by any nation, that would be pr' le ierable to national disgrace.

His defeat was n nat due to any defect of the ma ng and did not trouble him her the least, in fact, it on ch- confirmed him in his fidelity lil- republican principles, and caus
 him to be more tenacious in adYoe' ;,. ing the rights of the people of t ,ob territory. Regardless of outsi h., criticism, honest Micky Stew' as, "stood up" for his friends and fe' b.. lessly defended their rights.
