Against Any Single Standard.

John V. Farwell, the great mer-
chant and philanthropist of Chicago,
in letter to the Chicago Post, main
tains that both the unconditional
l6-to-l free silver men and the lntleX-
ible gold standard advocates are mo-
nometallists; that these two classes
m0tiye-pure self-iEterest-and that
the success of either would be disas.
trous for the country. He says that
a diagnosis Of the members of the
late republican national convention
reveals the purpose of POI silver and
gold delegates to form coalition to
defeat the will of the people as to
the policy that should control the
party on the financial question, which
ought TO open the eyes of the public
to the gravity of the situation, and
prompts few pertinent questions for
statesmen to answer. For instance
the following:
First, is our government by the
people and for the people, or by Lom-
bard street and for Lombard street?
Can 81 silver men join POP gold men
to work for n gold standard for the
worlds exchanges, as against GOO del
egates who are for gold standard
only until an international bimetal-
lie policy is instituted, to restore sill
Yer TO its lost money functions, and
stand before the United States and
the world as honest statesmen, seek
ing to legislate for the public good :?

dictate 70 the other 80 per cent. the
financial policy of the world, while
its mouthpiece ut the last monetary
convention said to mankind; II
there was no gold for a circulating
currency, ! would still be for gold

not the w per cent. increased value

tablished, reveals the fact that the
people can and do think on this SUBJ
ject, independently Of the metropol-
itan press, which has almost univer-
sally condemned bimetallism and
advocated single gold standard.
The reason for this may be found in
the fact that gold and, silver COM
bined have never yet furnished the
world with sufficient amount of
money for its economical exchanges,
and never will, without the help of
credit money, in various forms, to a
large extent. The people do not need
newspapers to replace historical
financial facts with theoretical finan-
cial theories, and the composition of
the national convention afiirms this
conclusion.
"Can there be any danger in follow
ing a public sentiment Independently
formed from such materials, in form
ulating a platform upon which to
elect an honest man to execute the
public will? The danger Is that an
unreasoning and selfish minority of
opposing interests may influence the
great majority to declare for finan-
cial principles which past history
condemns, as decidedly as the results
of the late war condemned the policy
Of slavery for black men in the
United States, as d beneficent insti-
tuition.
Wrong is wrong, wherever you
find it, and printers ink cannot
change the leopard's spots and make
him an innocent lamb.
1.-TWO hundred years of uniform
bimetallic prosperity, with only here
and there a DETECTION from the
straight line, is holy and righteous
protest against twenty-three years of
unparalleled gold standard depres-
sion in all business interests, were
unexceptional favorable conditions
have not prevailed to reverse such a
normal result Of cutting the worlds
money in two.
IF the people cannot safely trust
Major Mckinley and his multitude OF
friends all over the country to stand
by our national veal, then his war
and congressional record belle his
character. But in any event who can
trust Tom Platt's leadership in col
luding with silver men in the inter-
ests of gold?

methods and interests"

Governor Upham Wlthdraws.

The TRIBUNE has contended that
there was no justice or wisdom in
the demands for Governor Upham's
retirement, while others of the pres
ent state ticket, subject to criticism
on the same grounds, were conceded
Il second term. The absolute right
eousness of that position has never
been assailed but the clamor against
Upham was kept up until he has
been induced to withdraw from the
field as candidate, publishing the
following letter, which will be read
to his credit long after the assaults of
his enemies are forgotten, or remem-
bered only with regret:
MADISON WIS, June "a, 1896.
Hon. +. d. CoE-Chairman Re-
publican State Central Committee.
Dear Sir:-I believe it to be the
proper thing for me to inform you,
as chairman OF the Republican State
Central committee, that / shall not
be candidate for denomination as
governor. | have not at any time since
took upon myself the duties of this
high Office considered myself a can
didate, but party usage has made ii
appear probable that / would accept
a denomination. | am certain that
| could be renominated and elected
but in order that the rights of no
candidate shall be predjudiced from
lack Of information, this announce
ment is made prior to the calling Of
any conventions, that all delegates
may be elected with full information
as to the political situation.
There is no official act of the adj
ministration for which / desire to
make any apology, or offer any de-
Tense. My reasons for determining
not to be candidate | can briefly
give. | have all my life been a re-
publican and loyal one. | consider
the mission of the republican party
so important that the party welfare
Is of greater moment TO me than the
interests Of any one man. For
reasons that are not clear to me, |
have been assailed by criticism
which am satisfied time will prove
to have been unjust. This criticism
has reached Il point where it was be-
lieved by some to imperil the party
interest. If l understand my own
sentiments, would at any time sac
rifiee all my personal interests in be-
half of the party whose principles |
believe in, and certainly, in this
case, while l am unable to under
stand the ground for much of the
criticism, yet not for moment will l
as loyal republican, and believer
in the principles for which the re-
publican party stands, allow myself
TO even seem to be In the way of
party success.
desire it understood that l stand
ready to do all in my power in the
campaign approaching, to further
the interests of the party.

AS YET there is no answer to our
conundrum of some weeks ago:
would the Platteville Witness have
opposed Governor Upham's renomi-
nation If its editor had been APP
pointed IA member of the state board
Of control?n TO this we will now
add another: Would the Witness
have suggested Prof. McGregor for
governor if it had previously known
that Upham would withdraw from
the field?

Calvert Spensley For Governor.

4
Now that Governor Upham has
withdrawn from the field as a candi'
date for denomination, we renew oui
motion for the nomination Of Hon
Calvert Spensley. The original pre-
sentation of Mr.. Spensley's name was
conditioned upon Upham's being
out, as the former would not antag-
onize the latter. With the situation
as at present, there remains no reason
why Mr.. Spensley's many friends
may not push him vigorously, and
so far as Iowa county is concerned
the disposition is to do so. A solid
earnest delegation from this county
will undoubtedly support Calvert
Spensley in the state convention, I'M
less he wills otherwise.
Recognizing the worth of the sew
eral gentlemen mentioned for the
nomination since Upham's with
drawal, it cannot be claimed for
either of them that he is more than
peer of Mr.. Spensley in the capabil-
tiles and requirements for a safe
strong chief executive of the state
At home he is known as conspicous
in the front rank of lawyers in the
circuit. Clear headed, industrious
and untiring in protecting the inter
est of his clients, thoroughly versed
in the law, he never loses case foI
want of intelligent, faithful manage
ment. In addition to his law prac-
tice, he is constantly engaged In
other business, and through all his
life has been active in mining and
other enterprises, developing the
country and furnishing employment
to many people. In all his extensive
practice and varied business he is
governed by the strictest rules OF
professional and business honor
His word is inviolable as his written
stipulation, and his name connected
with any enterprise is guaranty
Of legitimacy.
From early life he has taken an
active, intelligent interest in politics
and always upheld the banner of re-
publicanism, through evil as well as
good repute, in the shadow Of defeat
as bravely as in the sunshine of VIC
tory. Until elected state senator four
years ago, Mr.. Spensley had not
figured much in state politics, the
extent of his public service thereto
fore having been as mayor of Mineral
Point and chairman of the county
board. But his first session in the
senate was sufficient to prove his
worth, which was promptly admit
ted at the second session by his un-
challenged election as chairman OF
the judiciary eommittee--the first
committee in the legislature. His
one term In the senate has won him
prominence in state affairs greater
than most men attain in long legis
lative careers; simply because only
very few have the capability of Mr.
Spensley to begin with. Had hi'
advice and leadership been more
closely followed, the republican party
would have avoided many annoying
blunders which it now has to meet
AS governor he would bring to TIL,
head of state affairs that same gooc
judgment and high capability. The
party and the people would never
have to apologize for an administra
tion under Calvert Spensley's guild

IT is reported that five out of six
OF the republicans in Richland county
incline to the silver side of the
financial question. While this is
probably gross exaggeration, 1t
doubtless has some basis Through
out the rural districts of the state
there is much more opposition to
infleXible gold monometallism than
republican leaders and editors have
any idea Of. So much, in fact, that
but for the predominance Of the tar
i'll question in the public mind, as
represented by Mckinley, the result
of the election in November would
be doubtful.

THERE is evidence of n sharp tri-
angular contest In Grant county be-
tween G. III. Baxter, of Lancaster, j.
III. Cabanis and j. b. Mccoy, of
Platteville, each of whom would like
tho nomination for State senator.
1t is expected that Baxter will Sc
cure the delegates from the northern
half of the county, and either Ca
hanis or Mccoy those from the
southern half. II is thought inn
probable that these contending forces
can be united. Iowa county there
fore Is likely to be the controlling
force in the convention. Under
these circumstances II proper thing
for Iowa county republicans e. DO is
TO present candidate of their own

is equally as good as Grants for Sc
curing the nomination. Let's go for

LIVER CLOGGING.
When Your Stomach Clogs
Your Liver See to Your
Digestion.

Not one person in thousand knows that
the cause of biliousness is the clogging OF
the liver by the poisons of indigestion.
Nor that the only proper cure for it is a
tonic to aid the stomach.
But modern medicine declares the truth OF
it. And the Shakers have proved it by
the wonderful success of their Shaker Di.
gestive Cordial.
One of the most important uses of the
liver is to arrest and destroy all poisons
which try to find their way into the blood.
When it's clogged, it can't do this.
the stomach, and the poisons of putrefac-
ton clog and paralyze the liver, after which
they find their way into the hood.
Here is the true explanation of all the
distressing disorders and complications
caused by indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic
cordial which aids the stomach in natural
way to digest its food. By this means, it
cures indigestion, restores the liver, and
frees the body from poisons and disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, mental de-
preston, weakness, bad taste, fever, fatu-
lence, constipation, loss of appetite, anae-
mia, rheumatism and many other disorders
are relieved and cured by Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial

Peculiar Adventures of Lewiston Man
Yesterday.

Lewiston, March 16.--A very peculiar
accident happened at Penley's Rips below
Lewiston Mon day forenoon. Mrs. Ferd
Penley happened to look out of window
of her home on the Auburn shore, and
saw a man swimming toward the Lewis
ton shore. He was about half way across
the river and was making desperate
efforts to reach the shore. Mrs. Penley
called up the Lewiston police station
The driver and three officers started with
the patrol wagon. They found the man.
Mr.. John Breshnahan, lying in the snow,
completely exhausted. A doctor was
ound who attended him, and it is
thought that he may escape serious con-
sequences. Mr.. Breshnahan went down
to see the South ferry, and when he had
loo ked it over, walked down on the Au-
burn shore to the head of Penley's Rips
where he stepped on piece of slant ing
ice which slipped him into the river, and
he was carried down the rips and swan
to the Lewiston shore where he, got out
alone by climbing up through Mt. Hope
cemetery.

FIRE In BOARDING HOUSE.
Firemen Called Out in the Midst Of
the Storm.

Blaze in the House at IL Free Street
Greatest Damage Done By Water-Ap-
parentIy Broke Out In Several Places
Cause Unknown.
An alarm rang in this morning at
2.05 from box a, calling the department.
to fire which broke out in the three
story wooden building at II Free street.
next to Hays drug store.
When the department. arrived they
found the fire had apparently started
in several places in the second floor of the
house, which together with the three
story is occupied by Albert S. Lowell
as boarding house.
A great deal of difficulty was expert
enced in getting at the blaze on account
of its peculiar location. Several streams
of water were put on, and the firemen
worked for mora than an hour on the
building which, however, was at no
time in any serious danger.
The flames destroyed part Of the fur
niture and burned up through the floor.
ing, between the sooond and third story.
The greatest damage was, however, by
water with which the whole building
was drenched.
The lower floor is occupied as store
and barber shop, both of which suffered
some from water.
] The alarm ruug out at 3. 10, but after
that blaze was discovered in the chim-
ney, but this was extinguished in short
order.
Mr.. Lowell had 5000 insurance on his
furniture and household goods. The
building is owned by the ]. B. Brown
heirs.
No accurate estimate of the damage
could be given.
