THURSDAYS CONVENTION.

There is probably more dissatisfac-
tion over the result of yesterdays con-
vention, than that of any Republican
convention everO before held in this
county. In the first place it was not
a Clough convention, and the fact
that the delegates to the state conven-
tion were instructed for Gov. ClOugh
is simply because the opposition failed
to make fight against such instruc-
tions-a fight which would have
clearly and easily won had it been
undertaken.
In view of the fact that the county
has candidate for the attorney
generalship, it was a serious mistake
that such course was taken and the
cut and dried plans of the Clough
managers accepted. A delegation
loyal to Mr. Smith and instructed
only in his behalf, without any
instructions as to the governorship
should have been selected. Had
this been done the real wishes Of the
masses of the party would have been
more nearly carried out than will now
be the case, and the soreness which
now exists not incurred.

Leaders at Chicago Preparing
Plans for the Approach
ing Convention.
Will Discuss the Platform and
Consider Availability of
Candidates.
Friends of Blackburn to Meet
and Take Steps to Push
His Boom.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Har-
ris left today for Chicago to be present
at the Democratic silver conference
which. will be held there beginning
Tuesday next under the auspices of the
Democratic Bimetallic organization He
is chairman of this organization, and
has been since it was instituted in this
city year ago.
The purpose Of the ante-convention
meeting is to so solidify the silver Or
ganization as to render it thoroughly
effective in the execution of the plans
of the silver leaders in the convention
and to also prevent the encroachment
of the gold forces. 1t has been their
purpose to
Discuss the Platform to Be Adopted
and also to consider the availability of
candidates. There has been much cor
respondence bearing upon these two
points. The plan has been to keep can
didates in the background until the
conference could be held, with the view
of having the conference free to choose.
This has proved impracticable and it is
understood that the leaders in the move
ment fear that they will be unable to
control in this matter as they had at
one time hoped they might do. They
still hope however, to be practically
able to make the platform before the
convention meets.

WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES.

Not single prediction of returning prosper
ity by the goldites has come true. Their latest
was that if Mckinley was only nominated and
straight gold platform adopted prices would
go up and prosperity Immediately return We
have Mckinley and the gold plank, but prosper
ity seems farther away than ever; in fact secur
tiles and prices have steadily declined since the
convention.-Ma County Sentinel.
And who is to blame because better
times do not hurry along? Who is to
blame because prices do not advance
and signs of prosperity peep out from
behind the corners? The free silver
agitation, and that alone is response
BILE for good share of the depression
which today exists throughout our
land. 1t has served to intensity the
effects of the discrimination against
many lines of industry by the present
tariff law, and prevent the readjust-
mentsof business along the new lines,
that would otherwise months ago been
brought about. 1t has kept thousands
and millions of dollars tied up that
would otherwise have been turned
loose into various enterprises giving
employment to thousands of men.
The gold standard which the Sentinel
harps about, is not to blame for the
present condition of things. If it was
something that had been lately adopt
ed,u the present troubles might fin
some way be laid to it's door, but the
existing gold standard has practically
cen in existence since 1884, and legal
ly so since 1873. In years past and under
it, we have had years and periods of
years of the greatest prosperity ever
known in the history of the country.
Stop the free silver agitation today,
give the country protective tariff
and take the government out of the
banking business, and the present
hard times would quickly disappear.
The action of the Republican conven-
tion at St. Louis last week in the
nomination of VIM. Mckinley, and
the adoption of the financial plank
put forth, has done more to strength
en- confidence than anything that has
happened in the last three years and
nothing interferes with the practical
carrying out of the confidence so given
but the great free silver agitation
now being carried on to control Dem
ocracy. Free silver and free trade
are the two worst enemies to prosper
ity this nation has, and they are
natural bedfellows.

FRANK DAY in his Martin County
Sentinel this week bids good bye to the
Republican party and follows after
Teller, Towne and other boilers. The
Sentinel has been flirting so strongly
with the Populists for months past,
that the step was not a long one to
take. Franks friends in the Repub-
lican party will be sorry to learn that
he has made the fatal mistake in turn
ing his face against the traditions and
principles of the organization and TAX
ing up with notions SO utterly at vari-
ance with what it has always stood for
But he is not the first Republican who
has made that mistake. But the party
will move along just the same carry
ing out the great principles it has
always advocated, and standing close
to the rank and file of the people from
whom it has always received it's sup
port, and always been true to in it's
pledges.

REPUBLICAN CHANCES.

President Cleveland and his imme-
date advisors after the election two
years ago, saw that if the tariff ques-
tion could not be eliminated from the
political situation, that the Demo-
cratic party would disappear from the
country, so far as success is concerned,
except in few states in the south,
and that all the border states there
were threatened. Therefore they
were anxious tC eliminate the ques-
tion of protection from the political
ield. and substitute something else,
and so turned their attention to that
of finance. But in this move things
have turned out entirely different
from what they expected. The Re-
publican party Instead of drifting
from the position it has always occu-
MED for sound money and taking up
with the free silver craze, has re-
manned true to its time honored
declarations upon the subject. On
the other hand the Democratic ship,
which they hoped to command, has
been captured and scuttled by dema-
gogues and is now in possession of the
free silver gang. LII the meantime,ln
spite of all their efforts, protection
stands right at the forefront as one OF
the principle questions of the day,and
will remain there until the republic
is doing its own work again.
The financial question, in view OF
the practical certainty that the Chi
eago convention will declare for free
silver, will cause a somewhat new
alignment of parties, considerably
more marked in some states than
others. Some of the western states,
especially the silver mining states,
which have heretofore been safely Re-
publican, will be lost to the Republi-
cans but in their place others which
have heretofore been Democratic, will
90 Republican. Under the conditions
presented today the following
states can safely be classed as Repub-
hcan with their electoral vote:

But this will be seen to be very
conservative estimate. Of these states
Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware and
New Jersey have generally been
Democratic in years past, but for the
past two or three years have turned
toward Republicanism and given Re-
publican majorities because of the
tariff. That question is as strong in
those states today as at any time in
the past three years, while the money
question will tend to still further
swell the Republican vote. 1t will be
noted that these states give the Re
publicans a majority of fourteen votes
over the required number to elect in
the electoral college, while the ma
iOrity over the opposition is twenty
nine. Besides the states named, the
state of West Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, the two Dakotas, Washington,
Oregon and California may be classed
as doubtful states OF these, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Kansas, Nebraska,
South Dakota, Washington and Ore
gOn are reasonably certain to go Re-
publican. Several of them will with
cut doubt, and all are good fighting
ground. While there is also chance
of carrying Missouri, North Dakota
and California. There is hardly a
question but that the Republican
electoral vote will 60 above $50, and
may possibly reach 300, thus most
effectually crushing the free silver
craze, with it's mOnometallistic
dangers.

that "the Republican whippers-in

Day" Well, hardly, these gentlemen
took themselves out because they are
advocating principles foreign to any

free coinage, and nothing can be
found in any of its platforms to war
