The populists Of the country
complain, and >righteously, that
the democrats have stolen their
platform and want to trade them
a candidate ir place OF it. II the
populists accept the swap, they are
disorgauized as a party. If they
refuse 1t, then they are swamped
as party. Devil or deep sea, and

Major William Mckinley is for
dollar that is as good as any
other country's dollar. On this
platform he is ready to go before
the people and rebuke the heresy
that an American fifty.three cent
dollar is as good as an English,
or French, or German hundred
cent dollar. That Mckinley is
ready to defend his thesis on the
platform is certain, and his honest
ringing voice will be heard in all
of these western states before the
votes are dropped in the ballot

The democrats of the sound
money persuasion would call for
a new convention at once, only
they do not like the sound Of
"bolter." They will wait, OPP
pressed by their fears until the
silver democrats throughout the
country have corraled the sound
money voters and their cakes
will be dough. They cannot af.
ford to let matters drift, and go
by default. They should either
come out squarely with a new
ticket or indorse the republican
nominations and hard money as
represented in the late st. Louis
congregation of the politically
level headed and sensible.

The republicans in the western
end of the old Twelfth district are
little anxious for an early con-
vention. In letters to the chair
man of the district and in other
communications, as we'll as in
person to the LIGHT they have ex-
pressed desire that the conven-
ton be called in San Antonio and
at as early day as possible. Not
as early however that the residents
of the sheep districts cannot get
word and arrange to come. 1t will
take not less than three weeks to &C.

resentation from the great sheep
districts and the cattle ranges OF

yet been seen in con-
gressional convention of re-
publicans in this section. These
republicans are earnest, ready to
work and vote, feeling that their
interests are at stake, and the
whole district is alive. Judge
Noonan has satisfied their most
sanguine expectations and they
promise him double the vote in
several of the precincts that he
polled two years ago. This call for
a convention at an early date, with
ample notice to the western coun-
tiles is commended to the chair.

the suggestion that it should not
be later than the middle of
