THE interest which has centered
around the Republican presidential
nomination has absorbed all the poll
tical forces for the past few weeks,
but, now that McKinley'S nomina-
tion has been settled, we may look
out for a revival of state politics. 1t
is probable that the state convention
will be held in July, and as soon as
the state central committee sets the
date then look out for some tall hust-
ling The administration forces are
already at work and some very effec-
tive campaigning has been done. Gov.
Clough sleeps with one eye open all
the time, and with one hand hold of
the machine lever he is not missing
stroke. Lee is also quite busy, but
Van SAINT, Eustis, Gibbs and Clapp
seem to be lying quiet. Perhaps they
are reserving their strength for the
final struggle. There is such thing
as making too many combinations and
resting serene in the thought that
Hennepin county runs the state.
This will prove a mistake, as it has
transpired that a governor could be
nominated without the aid of either
Hennepin or Ramsey county, and his
tory may repeat itself.

FREE TRADE HORRORS.

It is amusing when it is not disgusting
to listen to the Republican orators, talk
ing about the depression in the country
and attributing it to what they are
pleased to call the present free trade
policy of the government, and the worst
of it is. there are people who believe it.
The Wilson tariff measure as 1t left the
house was vast reduction in rates of
the monstrous Mckinley tariff, but when
the same bill left the senate it had scarce
ly resemblance to the original and
was about as much Of protection"
measure as McKinley's tariff measure It.
self. The difference between them was
the one-fftieth of one per cent. And
this is the kind of contemplate stuff these
orators are handing out to the people
who have neither the time nor the talent
nor the inclination to look up the matter
for. themselves, but who stand ready,
open-mouthed, to swallow any state
ment, however glaring and absurd, be-
cause it comes from some stump speaker
who is supposed to know, and because
further he stands up for the principles
of the party, right or wrong.

get tired Of being humbuged in such q

YES, WHY NOT

The Hartford Times says: why should
not the silver mine owners spend at least
81, OO0, 900 on the campaign If Bryan's cleo
ton would put from twenty to fifty times
that sum in their pockets" In answer to
that another question might be asked:
'sWhy should not the eastern manufactur-
ers spend at least $5,00O,000 in their cam
paign If by so doing they can force the
people to pay enormously for their cost Of
living as they are forced to do in buying
the products of these eastern nanufactur-
ers?" Or, another question: s'Why should
not the gold standard men spend at least
SIC, 0O0, 600 in this campaign to defeat Mr..
Bryan If by so doing they can compel the
people to pay perpetual tribute to the
money power and thus enrich the money
changers at the cost of grinding the masses
into the earth?" There are two sides to
these questions and on this question of sill
yer there ID one great side and that Is the
side OF the people who are yearly swindled
that a comparatively few men shall wax
fat and take the world at their ease, pre-
pared at all times to buy their way out OF
every emergency, whether private or ma

WE'RE ALL ANARCHISTS.

The New York Irish World dashes off
a few thoughtful remarks anent the silver
question and the harsh names that are
attached to it's advocates when 1t says:
..You cannot indict nation" So said
Burke, and after him Russell in the great
Parnell trial, but the editors of the gold
press think differently. They cannot
conceal from themselves or their readers
the fact that the silver tide is rising higher
every day, and they va:n.y imagine, Ike
Mrs. Darlington, that taey can sweep it
back with adjectives. If the silver adj
vpcates are anarchists, as they have been
freely called, the nation is in fair way
of being an anarchist--which we submit
with Burke Is an absurdity. One state
Alabama has already proclaimed In no
uncertain terms its belief in the free coin
age Of silver, and, therefore, In anarchy.
1t will be followed in few months by ev-
cry state west of the Alleghanies and south
OF Mason's and Dixon's l.ne while even
IN New York, Pennsylvania, New jersey
and the New England states there is q
manifest growth OF this peculiar species Of
anarchy. Just think OF II. The anar-

BRYAN'S SPEECH.

The enemies of Bryan have repeatedly
sad that the speech of the Democratic NOM
inee in New York in acceptance of his
nomination at Chicago would be fat
fa.lure-full of platitudes and nicely turn
ed phrases, but with nothing Of substan-
tial promise upon which the country could
rely. The strongest argument against
that libel is the speech .tself which we re-
produce on another page. 1t has that ring
ing merit that ensures success, it brushes
away all the cobwebs of financial doubt,
It brands the money changers Of the world
with the :gnominy that has been attached
to them since the days that Christ HIM
self drove them out of the Temple, it has
in it heart and hope for the toiler who
has struggled in vain for his God-g.ven
rights Of which he has been robbed by the
merc.less power of money.

which he forced upon their attention was
this:
