ern population. If President
Cleveland desired to know the
great country, of which he is the
accidental head, he would learn
some facts about the west, and
in so learning he would discover
that there is less crime, less ig-
norance, less yielding to the
brutal passions of human nature
in the entire west than in any
one ward of the city of New
York; he would learn that the
west is populated by the flower
of the manhood Of the east; he
would learn that. while we lack
the richly attired hypocrits who
rob their fellowmen six days of
the week, and on the seventh,
pray God, for a long life to con-
tinue the same work; we have a
larger proportion of happy, edu-
Gated and christian homes than
any section of the east, afflicted
as they been for century, by
such missionaries as Grover
Cleveland. For shame, on man
who, while holding the most ex-
alted place in the gift of the
people stoops to SANDER and vii
lily the men and women who
have planted the American flag
and American institutions in the
painless wilderness of a great
empire, all the conditions of
which Grover Cleveland is total
lly ignorant.
Senator Dubois sends us the
following good news IF re-
ports reaching here from Phila-
delphia are true large number
of the manufacturers of that city,
headed by James Dobson, have
embraced the ''silver and protec-
ton" ideas, and have notified the
Republican leaders that unless
silver is recognized at st. Louis
they will neither support the Re-
publican ticket nor contribute
anything to the campaign fund.
Mr.. Dobson was president of the
Manufacturers Club of Phila-
delphia for years, and is said to
have contributed and secured
contribution of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to Republican
campaign funds in the past.
Heber Clark, the editor of sever
al papers devoted to manufactur-
ing interests, and secretary of
f the Manufacturers Club, has
been advocating free silver in his
papers for some time. Now it is
+ said that majority of the manu-
, facturers of Philadelphia have
decided that free silver, owing
to the encroachments of oriental
f countries, is best for them; so
/: much the best, in fact, that they
will support new party if the
old parties do not give some con-
sideration to the white metal. A
delegation of fifty or sixty Phil
adelphia manufacturers, headed
by Mr.. Dobson, is booked to
come here early next week for a
conference with Mr.. Teller and
l the silver leaders on the silver
and protection theory. They
2 will promise MIR. Teller their
support, it is understood. Re-
port has it that Senator Quay is
somewhat alarmed over the
growing silver sentiment in his
state. He is fully posted, it is
said, as to what is going on
among the manufacturer who
have always been Republicans,
but sees no way to stop it. The
I Manufacturers Club of Phila-
! delphia represents $500, 900, 00C
9 in different industries in that
9 city and throughout the country,
A. S. Dulin, a young westerner,
/ who has always been a close
9 friend of Senator Teller, has
e been selected by the new silver
y party to take charge of the silv
l, er forces in Pennsylvania. He
I will begin the work of organiza
5 ton at once, and will establish
headquarters in Philadelphia. II
is stated on the best of authority

s supplied him with funds to con
