THE LINE is DRAWN.

At this writing the republican ma
rional platform is not adopted but as
the time for the fight approaches the
more evident are the effects of the Wall
Street pressure and the more clear is
the fact that the platform will give lit
tie consolation to the earnest silver men
Of whatever degree Of belief. The
most that silver men can hope is that
1t will not contain an express declara-
ton against free silver and may hold
out doubtful invitation for free silver
under that most impossible of impOssi.
bilities, international agreement.
The present indications seem to be
that it will declare for the present sys-
tenn till such international agreement
can be m tde. 1t may not contain the
words gold standard but it will de cribe
it so we'll that it can not be mistaken.
However the American people may be
thankful that something understand
able is in sight. 1t will draw the lines
of the campaign and fixes the guage Of
battle explicitly on the issue which of
all issues the populists have urged and
forced to the front. While it is with
the utmost reluctance that the republic
can party makes declaration which
thus changes the warfare from the
tariff to the 20 oney question and virtu-
ally acknowledges that the popullst
claims to the supremacy Of this issue
were correct, it found 1t entirely i'm
possible to longer keep the question in
the background,
However if it were not SO clearly
evident that the democratic convention
will put out a silver platform it is not
probable that the republicans would be
as direct and clear in its declaration
for a gold standard. They know that
the gold bugs of the East are as mill
tant as the silver men of the West, and
that they hold the purse strings for the
campaign. They know that with free
silver in the platform the democrats
can get little of the fat which gives life
to the campaign and that by smiling
sweetly and bowling low to the powers
that be in the naughty East they can
get all this that is going. They know
that 1t is part of the creed of the aver
age republican partisan to fight against
any measure a democrat fights for.
The ROthschlelds, the Bellmonts, the
MOrgans and the Sages will present a
aOlid plalanx, fighting for their privi-
leges of running the government, de-
stroying prices and Issuing bonds when
they please. viii the people, the yeo-
many, who want more money and a
better chance TO get some of it, who
are mortgaged and debt ridden. bonded
and bound, go into the fight split, di-
vided and fighting among themselves?
If they DO, they may as well save their
time and energies for they are beaten
before they begin.

THERE have recently been some bit
ter attacks on Chairman Breidenthal
regarding his generalship during past
campaigns. The fountain head Of this
opposition is the Ottawa Journal, and
it has brought into it other diSaffected
and Heterogeneous elements who have
held Office without honor to themselves
or the party. We do not here mean to
say that Breidenthal has been without
mistakes, but we do wish to say that
he is a perfect steam engine for energy,
an organizer of unequalled ability, and
a man of unimpeached honor. Some
of the worst charges made on him are
those which should be set to his credit.
lie is too honest for some of the old
political triCksters. AS we heard one
say a short time ago, "Breidenthal can't
scheme with Cy Leland and those fell

weeks of a campaign fellow has to do

should not suffer from any such talk as
that. However this fight on him seems
to have been pretty well slenced al
ready.

THERE was never a time in the his
tory of the United States when the
politics of the country were in a more
unsettled, doubtful and undefinable
condition than now. The old republi-
can, moss'grOwn and hoary, does not
just know what to believe concerning
the currency, for two or three days yet.
The more independent of them are de-
termined what to believe ard pretty
well convinced that they don't believe
what the candidate Of their party does.
The average democrat has some time
since decided fully which way he will
fly, but there is an element of doubt
about whether they can manage to Join
with others who believe as they do.
The prohibitionist knows what he be-
lieYes concerning silver but is question
ing whether he shall throw his pet
measure of prohibition over board, to
take on cargo Of silver, and as to
whether be will have a silver ticket of
his own, or whether to just quit. The
populist knows full we'll what he belives
but is debating whether tits nobler in
the mind to battle for everything he
wants and the country needs without
much hopes of getting any, or whether
tits wiser by some combinations to try
one or two things he wants and has
some prospect of getting. He knows
full we'll what principle he will vote for
but it is another matter yet to be de-
termined whether another man will
vote for the same thing under another
name and TN another ticket. We are
now in the critical time of the cam
paign and no man knoweth the termin-
alton.

COUNTY CONVENTION

The populist county convention was
called to order at the court house
about 1890 o'clock Saturday forenoon
by Chairman o. W. Hendee, and the
call was read by secretary of the cen
trail committee. The election of tenn
pOrary chairman fell to j. G. Stratton
by following vote: StrattOn 50; Frank
BOwser %; W. f. Williams 81. E. G.
NettletOn was made temporary secre-
tary without opposition. Upon the
proper motions the usual committees
were appointed:
Credentials; J, T. Blsin, G.. S.
Bishop and Capt. O'Leary.
Resolutions: Horace Foster, Dr.
Malcolm G. A. Stephens, A. S. LaClerc
and Mac Ross.
Order of Business: U. W. Hendee,
Frank Field and David Richmond.
On Permanent Organization: VIM.
Mitchell, Geo. Pdrkin and E. G. Clark.
After the announcement of these
committees B. E. Kies, of the Kansas
COmmOner was called upon for few
rem arks upon political issues, which
he made with point, speaking in favor
of not attempting to cover too much
ground at once and for the unifcation
of the various reform forces,
After his speech was finished Mr.. D.
W. Kent was called for. This and the
attempt to shut Mr.. Kent out, brought
out the stOrmiest scene we have ever
witnessed in populist convention,
and it was one truly to be regretted.
Concerning the right or wrong of it
we are only disposed to say that there
was error on both sides. 1t was known
that there was opposition to Jerry
Simpson in the convention, and it was
out OF order to call for remarks which
would involve that question in the
temporary organization. 1t was
equally out of order to call for an ex-
preston from Mr.. Kies on that ques-
tion which had beer done before.
But after these remarks had been
called for from Mr.. Kies it was Ger.
Jainly grave error to attempt to shut
out discussion from the anti-Simpson
men. This angered them and they
were much more rampant than they
would otherwise have been. How ever,
1t is greatly to the credit of the major
ity that after this had been ATTEMPTED
it was repudiated and the opposition
given full and free speech. But we
must say that in this speech Simpsons
opposition did no credit 20 itself.
In the main its reasons were
scarcely worthy of consideration while
some of the charges are utterly with
out foundation, such Tor example as
that Jerry is blaekguard." After
half or three quarters of an hour at
harangue, the opposition was found to
consist of about four or five members
OF the convention only and by such
hard pulling against the tide wore
itself out.
The convention then adjourned until
after dinner, and when it again assem-
bled it was in an atmosphere calmed
and cleared by the storm. Everything
then went peaceably, though it had 70
pull through several tangles.

Committees Ordered to visit the Shops
Early This Morning and Call Out the
Workmen-strateKy by Which the Meas
Leaders Fooled tho Manufacturers.
The Executive Committee of the Brotherhood
of Tailors met last evening in walhalla Hall,
and formally sanctioned q general strike OF the
brotherhood, which the subordinate branches
had previously decided upon. II will go into
effect to-day. The strike will be nomlnally
against the contractors, but really against the
manufacturers, to prevent n return to the task
work system. About 5000 will strike in this
city to-day, and about 1000 arc expected to
quit work In Brooklyn and Brownsville.
An immense mass meeting OF the taiiors was
held later in the evening in the large hall, at
which the decision of the Executive Committee
was received with cheers. Meyer Schoonfeld,
who led the former strikes OF the tailors, was
the principal speaker. He made brief state
ment OF the causes leading to the strike.
After the meeting committees were appointed
to 60 around the shops, beginning before z
o'clock this morning. and call out the different
are to report at Wahalla Hall, which will be
the headquarters OF the strikers while tho
strike lasts.
The Brotherhood OF Tailors is divided into the
following branches: Operators hnishers, press
er'. basters, bushellers, and fellers, tho latter
being women. No definite demands have been
prepared, but meetings of the various branches
Will be held every night this week at which the
demands will be formulated. About a fortnight
ago the fnishers ut an excited meeting In Wal
halla Hall decided TO GO on strike whether the
other branches quit or not. subsequently the
other branches held separate meetings and de-
cided in favor of n strike.
When this was known the clothing manufac-
turers began to curtail the issue OF work to the
contractors. Their aim WAS to send out SO little
work that a strike would be I'm possible. The
leaders OF the Brotherhood then declared the
threatened strike indefinitely postponed. The
manufacturers fell into the trap and flooded tho
contractors with work. The strike leaders ex-
