Secretary Sheerin Believes the Demo-
Gratis Will Nominate the Indiana Man.
An Indianapolis special says: S. F. Sheerin,
secretary Of the democratic national COM
mittee, says his correspondence indicates
that the Chicago convention will be one of
the largest and most notable the party has
ever held. Mr.. Sheerin is devoting consid-
cradle attention to Gov. Matthews candi-
Gacy for the presidency.
Il believe" he said. that the leading
democrats in every part of the country arc
coming to the conclusion that Matthews is
the man to nominate. / believe that the
republicans will nominate Gen. Harrison -
The Race In Kentucky.
OF the counties that have acted seven,
with total of eighty-three votes, have in
structed for Bradley, and ten, with 112
votes, for Mckinley. Three counties, with
eighty votes. have instructed for Bradley
first and Mckinley second, and eight coun-
ties, with 1.3 votes, have named uninstruct-
ed delegates, of whom all save six are said
to be for Mckinley. Both Mckinley and

CARLISLE FOR PRESIDENT.

Senator Lindsay Thinks the Secretary
Will Come Out on n Sound Money
Platform.
A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from Lexington, KY, says: Senator
William Lindsay, who had to leave Wash
ington to attend the court of appeals, was
interviewed today:
Il think Mr.. Carlisle is going to be can
didate for President" he said, although he
has never told me that he was. 1 believe
he fully intends to make the race for the
nomination, and it is more than likely he
will receive it."
Can he carry Kentucky?"
WELL he could have done so the LIST OF
January. 1 don't know personally what has
happened here since 1 have been in Wash
ington, or what effect that which has hap
pened has had upon politics here
The Senator will express no opinion as to
whether MIR. Carlisle could be elected or
not. He is satisfied the Secretary will come
cut strong for sound money and make the
race on that platform.

BRYAN's TRIP.-Mr. Bryan's East
ern trip appeals more strongly to
popular curiosity than nything that
has happened since Coxey started on
his march to Washington. He draws
big crowds, and people listen eager
ly to everything he says, with the
hope of hearing some good reason
for the faith that is in him, but so
far they have been disappointed.
He discourses smoothly and sweetly
on the true, the beautiful and the
good, but he avoids the solid, the
useful, the practical. He can soar
aloft it'll the airy grace OF a bird,
but be does not seem able to get bis
feet on the ground where the COM
mon people walk. If the issue be-
fore the people is one to be settled
by facile, easy-dowing rhetoric, then
Bryan s the boy to give US joy, but
if there is any place in the discus
SION for facts and arguments, there is
as yet nothing to indicate that he
can produce them. His enthusiastic
admirers say that he is reserving the
argument for his formal speech OF
acceptance. Is his stock then so
scanty that be cannot let go even q
little bit for the benefit OF the peo-
pie as be goes through the country !?
Maj. Mckinley has a good many
speeches to make, but he does not
find it necessary to shelter himself
under platitudes. 1t would be a
popular qualification if Mr.. Bryan
would follow his example and deal
to some extent in facts and argu
ments.
