Tho carnestncss and enthusiasm OF
Iowa republicans in their support OF
Senator Allison as n candidate for the
presidential nomination was strongly
attestcd in the state convention, the
spirit OF which assures not only n
solid Allison delegation to the ST. Louis
convention, but one which will stand
by Iowa's distinguished candidate so
long as there is n glimmer of hope or
n shadow Of chance of his receiving
the nomination.
The resolutions adopted are in the
nature of an address, in which the
qualifications and the claims of Senator
Allison are vigorously set forth. His
long experience in and great familiarity
with public affairs, his participation in
past thirty years, his rare ability in con-
structiye craftsmanship. and his firm
adherence to republican principles, are
forcibly urged as giving assurance to
the country that if elected to the prcsi-
dency William b. Allison would dis
charge the duties of that exalted posi-
ton wisely and we'll These declara-
tions do not in the least overstate the
equipment of Senator Allison for the
highest office in the gift of the American
qualifications are recognized by re-
publicans everywhere, and while in this
respect he is the peer of any man in
public life, he has the additional merit
which few others possess of bringing
to the consideration of all questions a
judicial conservatism, quality of mind,
1t may be remarked, which is just now
much needed to restrain popular
passion and demagoglc clamor. 1t
Is unnecessary to say that the
record of Senator Allison as a re-
publican is unimpeachabie. He has
been consistent advocate of protection
to American industries and American
labor and an unwavering champion of
n sound and stable currency. There
can be no question as to his patriotism,
although he has not chosen to pro-
claim it from the housetops. 1t is safe
to say that no man, rs chief executive
of the nation, would more resolutely
than he maintain the rights and inter
ests of the United States in every quar-
ter of the globe.
With the twenty-siX votes of Iowa as
n nucleus Senator Allison will go be-
fore the st. Louis convention having a
much stronger support. there is reason
to believe. than is now generally con-
ceded. He Is not making so active and
aggressive campaign as are several
of the other candidates for the ST.
Louis nomination, but 1t will undoubt-
edly be found as the delegates to the
national convention are chosen that the
republicans of n number of states are
not unmindful of his presence in the
field. Present estimates of his prob
able strength in the convention at the
outset are of little value, but it may be
confidently predicted that it will be
sufficient to give him strong position
among the leading candidates, among
whose friends he will have as second
choice many supporters. 1t is to be
presumed that from now on the Allison
| campaign will be more vigorously
pushed and his friends certainly have
abundant material in his record as q
public man upon which TO urge his
claims for the presidential nomination.

The retail dealers are wrestling with
two topics of great local interest. The
demand for decreased fire insurance

retailers and they are giving 1t due con

association will speedily work out these
two stubborn problems that have per-
picked Omaha for long time.

As TO DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

1t would increase interest in national
candidates for the presidential nomi-
nation with q substantial following that
warranted regarding them as possibili-
ties. There is not, however, even one
such, although quite n dozen men are
being thought of in this connection. A
report from New York suggests that
the recent visits of Secretary Carlisle
to that city are believed to have had
reference to organizing movement
there for promoting his nomination Mt
Chicago, but this is doubtful. Mr.. Car
Isle stands better with certain financial
interests in New York now than he did
a year ago, but there is a local demo-
cratic leader who would undoubtedly
accept the nomination if pressed to do
so and who would be much stronger in
the state than any other democrat. 1t
is hardly probable that any New York
support would be pledged to Carlisle
so long as there remains a possibility
that William G. Whitney can be in
duced to allow his name to be presented
to the Chicago convention. Moreover,
it is not certain that Mr.. Carlisle could
permit any movement in his behalf and
retain his place in the cabinet. This
applies, also, to Secretary Olney, whose
friends want to enter him for the race
but so far as known have received no
encouragement from him. 1t has been
said that the president is favorable to
the nomination Of either of these mem
bers Of his cabinet but the fact that
Mr.. Cleveland allows the impression to
continue that he himself desires the
nomination initiates against the idea
that he is favorable to any member of
his political household If the presi-
dent really desires the nomination of
Carlisle or Olney it would seem that
he would at least allow them to develop
their strength by relieving them of
the restraint they are now evidently
under.
There are indications that ex-Gov-
ernor Pattison of Pennsylvania may get
the delegation from that state, but he
is not being much talked about else
where, although what is said of him is
of very complimentary character.
Matthews of Indiana will probably
have the delegation of that state, but
no interest is felt in his candidacy out
side of Indiana. 1t is the same with
Campbell of Ohio, Morrison of Illinois
and some others who are mentioned ms
possible leaders of democracy's forlorn
hope this year. The situation is quite
extraordinary, the democratic party
having never before been so much al
sea in the matter of having an available
man for presidential candidate.

AS was to have been expected, the
railroads are actively opposing the
enactment of any bill by the new Utah
legislature for the creation of n state
railroad commission with powers of
control and supervision over railway
construction and rates. The same old
musty arguments are again dragged out
that state regulation means stoppage
of all railroad building, that it contem-
plates confscation of the railroad
property and that it is unconstitutional
and will never be submitted to by the
roads. These arguments have done
service for the railroads so often that
they have lost their force in most states
of the union and If they exert any in
fiuence in Utah they will surprise the
railroad men as much as any. The fact
is that state railroad regulation is not
only the common practice but 1t Is gen
orally recognized as having become an
absolute necessity. Whether the pro-
posed Utah railroad commission is es-
tablished by this legislature or not, 1t
is bound to come sooner or later and
the railroads may as we'll accept 1t
gracefully.

A Stock Claim of the Gold Bugs.

One OF the stock CLAIMS OF the gold
bugs is that free silver would mako
the United States the silver dumping
ground of the worlL. There is about
s8, 900, 100000 actual silver in the
world, in coin and used in the arts.
About 81, 900, 900, 900 is in coin. How
much of that would be taken to the
American mints? Imagine the house
wives of Europe, Asia and the rest Of
the world gathering together their
old silver and shipping it to the
United States; and no doubt the Eu-
ropean Nations would take their silver
coin, already at par with gold, and
would send their supply to this
country to be sold at the
mints for fifty-three cent dollars |
Should this actually be done, pre-.
posterous supposition, the per capita
of the United States would run up to
over $l00-that is, as soon rs the
mints could catch up; and as soon as
that happened what desperate strait
Europe would be in. 1t would have
parted with its silver for fifty three
cent dollars its supply of that coin,
st par with gold when nthere, would
have deprecated one-half in value and
the per capita would have deprecated
in proportion and panicky times would
shake the money centres of Europe as
they had never been shaken before.
This is following to its conclusion one
of the absurd claims of the Republi
cans and goldites. There will, under
bimetallism, never be fifty-three
cent dollar, at least as long as the
Democratic party can win elections in
the United States.
