THE ONLY LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

New York, April THE World will
print double-leaded editorial tomorrow
in which it will ask whether the logic of
the present situation, that has led the
Republican masses to support Mckinley
will not compel the nomination of Cleve.
land by the Democrats. The paper says
The World does not assert that this is
so. 1t raises the question. 1t invites
public discussion of it.
So far as the World is concerned in this
matter, it is entirely impartial, judicial
and impersonal. 1t has no special parti-
atty for Mr.. Cleveland personally, as he
will probably admit. 1t has nothing to
take back. But the question is not of the
past. 1t is a question of the future.
Upon the issues of the present and flu
ture, not of the past, the World is just as
free and sincere in suggesting that Mr..
Cleveland seems to be the only logical
candidate, as it has been fearless and
faithful in adomnition and criticism
whenever it has believed him to be wrong.
1t is idle and might prove very unwise
to ignore the fact that there is Il deep
seated, widely prevalent prejudice among
our people against any third term for any
president. But it is still question
whether any unfounded fear and preju-
dice can weigh, at least against the force
of events and the logic of circumstances.

Au|kC| Reports.
FINANCIAL.
STOCKS AND BONDS.


New York, April THE feature of the
share speculation today was the fact that
the general list proved superior TO pro-
nOunced weakness in American Tobacco.
The stock mentioned even reduced to full
shares surpassed any of the list in eX-
tent of trading and scored an exceptional
loss of 4 rs per cent. closing at the lowest
of the day. This development was re-
garded mainly in Stock Exchange circles
with a feeling akin to satisfaction as
demonstrating that the conspirators in
the stock had overshot their mark and
were now the victims of their own
Vaccinations. The break in Tobacco was
variously explained. 1t was finally stated
that meeting OF the authorities of the
Stock Exchange had been called to in
vestigate the methods of the manage
ment of the American Tobacco company.
The last report was denied by an officer
of the exchange. Influences upon the
general market were of negatively favor
able character. 1t had been expected
that the decisive vote in the house in
favor of the recognition of the .Cubans us
belligerents would be marked in the re-
sumption of business on the London ey-
change after the Easter holidays by
heavy selling of American securities in
that market. London cables. however,
previous TO the opening of the local eX-
change, reported only triiling changes in
American rails in either direction. Con-
sequently the opening dealings here were
characterized by firmer undertone.
Other favorable factors were the nom
engagement of gold for shipment. despite
the continued strength of exchange, a
reported increase in the disposition on the
part of the bankers to purchase COM
mercial paper, and the continued ease in
money. American Sugar was helDed by
advances III foreign and domestic grades
of the production and Union Pacific trust
receipts were unusually active and strong
on the improved prospect for readjust-
ment of the Indebtedness of the Pacific
railway to the government. The prices,
while irregular, displayed an improving
tendency and important fractional gains
occurred in Sugar. Burlington, Southern
preferred, Tennessee Coal and Louisville
and Nashville. Realizatons later caused
sharp recessions in some instances, no
tably in Manhattan and Louisville and
Nashville, which yielded / 3-4M1 3-S per
cent respectively.
London was a conspicuous seller of the
last mentioned and other internationals.
The selling movement was exhausted be-
fore midday and under the leadership of
Sugar and Union Pacific most of early
declines were recovered The market
closed firm with fractional gains general.
Bonds were rather dull and without
changes of consequence, although the
tone was firm. Sales, $649,000.

THE WEBSTER WING

Columbia, S. c.. April THE State
convention of the Webster wing of the
Republican party was held in Columbia
today. About 125 delegates were pres
ent, the majority of whom were negroes
The. platform comes out strongly for pro.
lection. On the financial question the
platform says:
We stand with our party in the reitera-
ton of its demands for both gold and
silver as standard money. We believe
that legislation should secure and main
tain the parity of the two metals to the
end of the purchasing and debt-paying
power of the American dollar, silver
gold, and paper should be the same every
where. We believe that bimetallism
alone can secure this result.
The platform makes an appeal for a
constitutional provision against lynchine
and declares that the right to east a
free ballot is the essence of American
citizenship.
EX-Congressman T. +. Miller was
made chairman of the committee.
