According to the Chinese Consul at

12,OOG subjects of the Chinese
Emperor now living in that city, and
they are leaving at the rate of 5000

THE following are the words ut

ley over a year ago: s m
Z. ';The Republican party stands OPP
posed 10 free and unlimited coin
sge Of silver under existing condit-
ions, and insists that that cannot
safely be done until the great COM
rnercial nations of the world shall
have, by concurrent action, fixed
the ratio between gold and silver.
The Republican party stands, there
fore, for dollar worth one hundred
cents, whether it shall be gold or
silver or paper money. Free and
unlimited coinage of silver would
give the profits to the silver pro-
ducers of the world instead of to the
government of the United States"
Mr.. Mckinley says also in this
speech that IF there is TO be any
profit in this matter of money MAX
ing that profit should go to the
government of the United States
and not to any class of our citizens
or any of our silver producers any
where in the world"
Mr.. Curtis of the Record, who re-
ceived these marked passages from
the hand of Mr.. Mckinley at his
home in Canton, Ohio, within the
last week, says in regard to them:
"These | am authorized to say
are Major McKinley's views to-day.
He desires that the people of the
United States accept them as such,
and he considers it more dignified
and honorable to stand upon plat
form that was constructed before he
became candidate for the Presi-
dency than to construct a new one
which might be misrepresented or
mistaken as bid for votes"
And Mckinley is the man whom
the Republicans are DESTROYS of
making President. Keep it in mind
that the only way to get free coin
vge is to vote against it.

THERE is nothing wrong with the
Omaha platform Of the Populists in
SO far as its proposed reforms go,
but it antagonizes so many corpo-
rate capitalists at one time that it
will be very hard to win on it. If
the Populists would cut out all but
the financial planks it would have
a platform that would be crowded
with voters from both the old par
ties. But there is no doubt that if
all the reforms asked for by the
Populists could be accomplished
that this would be the most pros
porous and happy country in exist
ence.

that opinion. Whatever Carlisle
may say now to the contrary, at
the instigation of Wall street, is Of
little consequence. He has sold

TELLER FoR PREsnDENT.

The movement to secure the
nomination Of Senator Henry M.
Teller of Colorado for President by
the Silver men of the Democratic
National Convention at Chicago!is
a subject of general comment in the
East. The Silver Democrats gen.
orally think we'll of the proposition,
but the Republicans do not like it.
The latter fear thatif Teller is NOM
mated he will carry the South and
West and it will devolve upon the
eastern gold men to defeat him if
they can.
His nomination by the Silver
men at Chicago would give the gold
men good pretext for boiling, but
as they will bolt any way, if they
do not control the convention, and
will not support Silver candidate,
that will not matter much. The
silver question is now conceded to
be the paramount issue in the Uni
ted States. 1t is. discussed every
where. The efforts of the gold men
and place hunters to relegate it to
the rear are unavailing. Like Ban
quo's ghost, il will not down. The
people whose property has depreci-
ated fully fifty per cent while their
debts increase proportionately I'M
der the gold standard, are for free
coinage and, if united, will, beyond
reasonable doubt, elect Congress
that will pass q bill opening the
minis to silver as well as gold, and
a President who will approve the
bill. Teller stands we'll with the
masses in all sections of the coun-
try. His nomination at Chicago
by the Silver Democrats and at St.
Louis by the Populists and National
Silver men would insure his election.
The friends Of silver should, there
fore, regardless of past party affiliat-
ions, bend their energies toward
nominating him, or some other man
that Silver Republicans, Silver
Democrats, Populists and all others
who favor free coinage can support.
With such candidate victory
would perch on the silver standard
in November and prosperity would
again smile on the country.-Jour-
nal.

why should Major Mckinley, or

From the Little Rock Press
The Gazette has changed hands,

changed policies-in fact has performed
very complete metamorphosis. The
change, when one comes to contemplate
it, is almost as nythmic and perfect an
any ever accomplished by a skirt dancer
with calcium light and blue music
accompaniment.
The signs Of the times have indicated
a prospective change Of policy in the
Gazette. Only few days ago, when
the retirement Of z. W. Carmack from
editorial control Of the Commercial
Appeal was announced. speculation was
rife M 10 whether Carmack would take
charge Of the Gazette. When a few
days later Mr.. W. ID. Robinson, for
six years managing editor Of the Com
mercial Appeal, followed his chief, and
also walked down and out Of the Com
mercial Appeal Office, nothing then was
certain a. that Carmack and Robinson
wOuld buy the Gazette and make a
silver organ out Of it-except death and
taxation. Mr.. Robinson was in this
city two days. The Gazette people
made a proposition to sell ii. for, it IL

Secretary Carlisle, said Mr..

And Cleveland? it was suggested.
Mr.. Cleveland wouldn't get IL
counties in the South. A very CON

men would not vote for Mr.. Cleveland
because of their objection TO a third
term.
Mr.. Terry, Of Arkansas, who also
has advanced silver views, was asked
what the Southern States would do If a
gold man were nominated at Chicago.
That possibility, said Mr.. Terry,

not disturbing our thoughts about it.
