WASHINGTON, March %. The Re-
publican feud bids fair to develop into
vendetta before the clans get together
at st. Louis. The combine against Me-
Kinley gets more desperate and vindic-
tive with each days proceedings, and
with the accounts received Of McKin-
ley victories in the districts.
The anti-McKinley people are pre-
tending to believe that McKinley's ter
rible man, Mark Hanna, has subsidiz d
the press Of the United States.
The Reed-Allison-Morton men are
charging the Associated Press with be-
ing Mckinley political machine. The
reason for this accusation is that the
Associated Press reports the election
OF delegates in the different districts
throughout the country and notes from
time to time the leanings Of the dele
gates as to choice for the Presidency.

EX-GOVERNOR CAMPBELL, Of Ohio,
who 10 a Democrat, and so known and
recognized the country over, gives this
sensible advice in advance to delegates
who may be elected to the Chicago
Convention:
Every man who goes to the conyen-
ton as delegate should go pledged to
support the candidate and accept the
platform Of that convention. No mat
ter who may be named to make the
canvass; no matter what the platform
may contain, they should be accepted,
and the only hope Of party continue
tion lies In their acceptance. A dele
gate who goes 10 Chicago with the in
tention TO stay II the majority agree
with him and accept his candidate or
make his platform, whether on finance,
tariff, or what else; who means to bolt
il his notions Of men and measures are
voted down, Is traitor in advance.
He has no business in the convention. 2

An Irishman's Reply.

Judge Morton, OF Virginia, used to
tell story Of an Irishman who was
brought before him for pommelling one
of his friends in fit of rage. He was
sentenced to a months imprisonment.

will have time to think Of your folly.
Thirty days in Jail; your lost work;
your family without food; all because
you thrashed man against whom you
say you have no grudge. Did it pay?"

the Morton Boom.

The Republican State Convention for
New York was held Tuesday, and the
the Morton Presidential boom fairly
launched.
The money plank of the platform
reads:
''The agitation for the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of Is to /, seri-
ously disturbs all industrial interests
and calls for clear statement of Re-
publican attitude upon the subject, to
the end that the trade Of this country
at home and abroad may again be
placed upon sound and stable founda-
ton. We recognize in the movement
for the free coinage of silver an attempt
to degrade the long-established stand
ard of our monetary system, and hence
a blow to public and private credit, at
once costly to the national government
and harmful to our domestic and for
eign commerce. Until there is pros
pect of an international agreement as
TO silver coinage. and while gold re-
mains the standard OF the United States
and of the civilized world, the Repub-
lican party of New York declares IT.
self in favor Of firm and honorable
maintenance of that standard.
''on this platform we present Gov
ernor Levi r. Morton as New York's
Republican candidate for President.
He is in every way fit for the high
honor and he is peculiarly the man for
the honor. Governor Morton's long
honorable public service, his spotless
character, his great executive ability,
his devotion to his party and its prin-
ciples, erninently fit him for the Presi-
dency, and entitie him to our hearty
and enthusiastic support. Therefore
we instruct our delegates 10 the st.
Louis Convention to present him as our
candidate for President and urge upon
them TO use every honorable means te
secure his nomination"

SECRETARY MORTON figures up the
cost Of this Congress so far as its action
relates to his department. To buy and

partment Of carrying the seeds. Then

Gold Production.

Mr.. T.. 0. Smith, formerly member
OF the Swedish Parliament, has sent to
the director OF the mint a letter which
gives some remarkable figures as TO
the prospective increase in the gold
production Of the world, dealing more
particularly with increase from the
South African gold fields.
Mr.. Smith is student Of political
economy, and is also regarded as a
mining expert. He says that by the
end OF the century the production Of
the mines at Witwatersraand will
amount to s125,00O,O0O yearly, and that
the quantity which can be taken out
during the coming fifty years will be
80, 500, 600, 600, or about as much as the
worlds stock Of gold at the present
time.
This statement, confirming previous
estimates, possesses an unusual degree Of
Importance, as affecting future eco
nomic conditions. Some writer's on the
subject. Of more or less note, have de-
clared that the quantity Of gold had
been gradually used till the earth
would in short time yield up no more.
The argument was based on the theory

that wherever gold is found, there civ
ilization is to be found also, and that
the existence of gold was readily dis
covered, since it is treasure all men
hunt.
With this additional increase in the
supply, the question will arise whether
or not the effect may be to cause silver
and gold to come closer to each other
in value, and this would most assuredly
be the result if silver were to become
at all scarce. Whatever be the result,
