Election Expenses.

Many of the candidates for Office al
the last election have filed reports Of
election expenses with the county
clerk, while a vast majority Of these
candidates state that they had no ex-
pense, some of them paid out small
sums for the legitimate demands OF
the campaign.
N, b. Mccormick, candidate for
congress in this district says that he
paid OF 1923, $47 of this went to the
congressional committee, $3.50 for
railroad fare; $40 for hotel; $50 for
livery, and $50 for stamps and sta
tionery,
A. 8, Harwood spent $45; the CEN
trail committee pot $25; e. j, Garner
for printing, S.; while hotels aud
horse feed used up the balance.
s, O. Landes, makes a detailed
statement, in which he shows an ex-
pense Of 1924; the central committee
took in $21; while the balance went to
teams and hotels.
j. M, Tadlock put up $45 to the
central committee, and the rest of his
expense $4 went to hotels and horse
feed.

The Proposed Phrases.

(New York Tribune, Republican,
The discussion about the Republican
platform is much more childish than
usual, because mainly conducted by men
who have no other motive except their
hostility TO Mckinley. and their linger-
ing hope that the framing Of the platform
may by some chance make IL possible
10 prevent his nomination. Nothing
could be more puerile than such a hope,
because the admitted majority for nim
will have power 10 control the settle
ment OF all contests. to control the Com
mittee on Resolutions, and the hour at
which it shall report. and TO put the
platform first or the candidate. just as
it may please. The only sensible treat
ment Of the question must start with
the idea that Mckinley Will be roml-
mated. and that the platform wanted IS
that which. with him as candidate. win
make most certain and complete the VIC
tory Of protection and honest money.
Men OF practical sense know. as Sena-
tor Brice, OF Ohio, says, that the millions
will not care button about the exact
phraseology OF the platform. so long rs
II conveys the purpose distinctly. The
Chicago convention will declare for free
coinage OF silver. and the ST. Louis con-
vention will declare against the free coin
age OF silver and the millions will. with
out hesitation. accept the Republican rs
the honest-m0ney side. and cast their
votes In that belief. The silver men who
care more for free coinage than for any
thing else will vote against the Republi-
can party, no matter what tricky phrase
they may find in Ihe platform. Those
who do not care more for free coinage
than for anything else will recognize I'm
Mckinley himself a platform on the tariff
question. and will vote for him IL they
want thorough protection OF home indus
try. Ii is, therefore. sheer nonsense 10
devise any tricks of phrase which can be
interpreted two ways.
The Republican party is not going 70
offend the voters upon whom II relies In
the great block OF Eastern and Northern
States having about 800 electoral votes
for the sake OF catching few stray
votes. which II does not need outside that
region. IL would be a grave offence to
the overwhelming majority Of those voters

Among the silver Democrats In Wash
ington the opinion prevails widely That
Ex-Governor Horace Boies, OF Iowa, VIII
be the nominee OF the Chicago conven-
ton. While Senator Teller is looked upon
as an ideal leader in the silver campaign.

as the Democratic standard-bearer Is Sc

this view of the matter, as viii be seen
by the following letter, received yester-

TIE MONUMENT DEsIGN.

II was something Of a disappointment
TO our city people that the report OF the
Committee on Design Of the Jefferson

good reason why this was not done.
The monument Is TO be built under the

sists OF a local association and a commit
tee of the United Confederate Veto-
rans-one from each Southern State.
None Of the latter committee were pres

Committee on Design was ready to re-

i've proxies authorizing them 10 vote for
non-residents, 10 was decided that IL

Fear of silver.

CNew York Letter in Philadelphia Press)
There is some nervousness caused by
the amazing evidence Of the fever-heat
which the free-silver epidemic has created
in the Democratic party. Timld men are
fearful that the influence may extend
50 as to affect men who are normally
Republicans. but nave for the past three
years suffered greatly from the depres-
sion created by the Cleveland Administra-
ton.
one Of the shrewdest Of our fnanciers,
a man who has held high government
office. has recently been on trip TO the
interior Of New York State, and he
says that IL is high time that the cam
paign begun, since already some OF the
farmers who have acted with the Demo
cratic party and have been very poor TOT
three years. are beginning to show some
indication Of having had the touch or that
epidemic laid upon them.
This man says that the campaign should
begin Immediately after Mckinley's noml-
nation. and the adoption Of sound-mohey
platform at st. Louis.
Those who remember by what queer
freak Of political circumstance the green
hack-fever passed over New York, and
the New England States. excepting Maine
without seriously affecting the citizens
and yet took such firm hold Of the very
poor. and even those Of moderate means
in Maine. as to cause the defeat of Eu-
gene Hale for Congress, and the over
throw Of the Republican party IN that
state. have some reason TO apprehend
the sudden appearance. and. for time
the violent sway. Of the free-silyer-ieVer
in isolated communities Of the East.
For that reason. such men as Mr. hep
burn. formerly Comptroller Of the cur
rency. and Mr.. Cannon, his predecessor
in that office, and others who know
something OF those regions in New YORK
state where men have been in distress
since Cleveland came again TO power
believe that a campaign whose ammuni-
ton is literature. pamphlets. should De
beeun Immediately, and that by ana by
ooropetent men should be sent TO speak
of these things IN every school-house as
trlct in this state. .-.-.
There IS no fear that the great mass
~ citizens Of New York State VIII De
come contaminated but there Is some
danger that the poor Democratic asr-
culturigt will % persuaded that in free
silver which Cleveland so bitterly OPP
nose may be found the remedy ior the
Inc which followed the advent OF the
cleveland Administration.

On last Federal Decoration-Day. the
ceremonies at West Laurel-Hlll Cemetery,
Philadelphia, were in charge Of Cavalry
Post, No 35, Grand Army of the Republic,
and the orator Of the occasion was Gene
raj Tattnall Paulding. In the course Of
his Grafton General Paulding made
suggestion, the spirit Of which cannot
fail to touch the heart Of every Confede-
rate soldier. He said:
Il pause 10 say one word by way OF
suggestion TO my comrades Of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Not many months
ago / CHANGED 10 be I'm a southern city.
where a reunion OF southern veterans was
being held, and my heart was touched by
the sight OF number OF them marching
with heavy wooden legs, such as no
veteran of our war IS called upon TO use.
The thought came TO me, what glorious
movement II would be II the posts Of the
Grand Army OF the Republic should take
up the work OF supplying these poor
brave fellows with modern artificial legs,
such as the government has properly
given 10 our men. VIII you not give II
a thought? If our cavalry post should
seek out a cavalry post OF Confederate
veterans and so equip its legless men, /,
would be triumph grander than those
Of war"
In what striking contrast are these
liberal-minded sentiments with the dis
cordant penny-whistle pipings OF some
of the other Federal Decoration-Day ora
tors. who sought to make the occasion
one for reopening old wounds, and re-
VIKING sectional bitterness

Cook county Tor Chicago, H., has for
some time been the object of curiosity
owing to the fact that nobody knew what
action the sound-money men Of the county
would take. Last Tuesday the question
was settled. The Democratic or silver
split was clinched by the Issuance of the
official call for the county convention 10
be held in Central Music Hall next Satur-
day evening. 1.-THE call was issued by the
Honest-Money Democratic Committee OF
500" There will be $50 delegates in the
convention.
Although the convention will nominate
a county ticket, the fact is not stated in
the call. The objects. as stated. are to
take the control OF the party out OF the
hands of machine posses and place It in
the hands of the people.
This looks like business for the silverites
Of Chicago.

Cleveland Doesn't Like Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, June 9-President
Cleveland has opinions on the availability

pressed them yesterday 20 "A congress

veteran member OF the House from

have made. In my opinion. Speaker
Reed Is the strongest and brainiest man
I'm your party. 1t appears TO me unfor-
tunate that Mckinley should have OBJ
tanned the nomination, under the cir
