Interesting Scenes Before the Con-

lHtcFeStlHS scenes before the SOn-
ventiOn.
Special From q Staff Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. June 10.-The political
panorama will begin 10 Eevoive tomorrow,
md for the next nine days will present a
constantly shifting scene Of interest and
excitement, upon which the gaze of the
country will be CENTRED. The first thing
that strikes the freqHsnfer of the political
headquarters Is the atmosphere of uncer-
talnty. OF restlessnesS and Of inquiry that
pervades the habta t IONS of the politicians.
/ The political atmosphere may be said to be
somewhat murky, and men are cropping
their way. y y
The smaller leaders are inclined to be
wary, asking many questions of each other
and answering few. Has Major Mckinley
a Walkover?' they ask 'or Is there a posi-
bility of checking hip?'1 What wires are
beng laid IN the political subways ttat
later may be pulled to his disadva nta ge }?
VIII the silver men bolt gold standard
declaration? VIII the gold men insist up
On a straight-out declaration. or if they
s:iyerplate the gold plank will the other
fellows accept 1t? Everywhere there are
questions, and men are trying to read each
others minds to forecast the extent Of the
bitterness OF the coming fight.
One is impressed and likewise amused at
the atmosphere of mystery with which the
small political managers are inclined to
surround themselves. This does not indi-
any more than the solemnity Of the owl
comes from the possession of wisdom. The
Big leaders are not mysterious but inno-
cent They affect frankness, the gulleless-
ness Of the child. but withal dense ignor-
ance. Why bless you! they would tell you

The Mckinley men from the silver states
are insisting on the Ohio plank without

The Chicago Convention.

In the Democratic national con-
vention which will assemble at
Chicago in a few days, it is esti-
mated that the silver men will
have 584, and the gold men BAG
delegates. Under the established
two-thirds rule the silverites will
lack 36 votes to carry their point
in pledging the party to free coin
age of silver. In this contingency
it is claimed that they will abro-
gate the established rule, and de-
clare that a majority vote shall
govern in making nominations and
framing a platform. This, howev-
or, is not likely, as the two-thirds
rule has been in force since 1882,
more than sixty years, and earnest
debate and honest efforts at con-
cession and compromise will effect
some agreement satisfactory to
two-thirds of the convention. In
any event the proceedings of this
great national gathering will prove
to be most interesting and exciting.

nNigger in the Wood Pile"

The Pops have no use for the
negro just at this time, and are
free to discuss ways and means to
take him out of politics. In the
Winfield Comrade of June Is, a
letter from J. T. Howell to B. w.
Bailey is published, in which How
ell says:
The negro has clearly shown
himself incapable of exercising the
franchise for the common good as
an instrument in the hands of any
political party. It is, therefore,
essential that white men demand
and insist upon his elimination as
a factor in our political systems.
We should insist that
the negro shall neither be voted
nor counted hereafter.

Make candidates. Pay.

One of the follies of unthinking
journalism is the gratuitous boom
ing of candidates. The publishers
space bears the same relation to
his success that the lawyers adj
vice does and the doctors prescrip-
tons do to theirs. IL is as staple
an article as the grocer's sugar and
coffee, or the dry goods mans cali
Goes and ginghams. 1t takes mon
ey to buy advice and prescriptions,
groceries and dry goods 1t should
also take money to buy newspaper
space; and the publisher who per-
sists in this gratuitous nonsense
brands himself as a sninny" who
is unfit in brains and courage to
occupy the sanctum. One of the
reasons why the newspaper PROBES
sion occupies q secondary place te
that of law, medicine and theolo-
gy, is this matter of grstuitouf
service 30 prodigally rendered t.
everybody.

Something About Hobart.

As The World foretold on April
16, Garret A. Hobart is nominated
by the Republicans as their candi-
for Vice-President Mr.. Hobart
has no claim whatever to be con-
sidered statesman. He is simply
corporation lawyer who has
grown rich by manipulating mo-
nopolies, acting as receiver and
protecting his clients in the Legis-
fature. He is at the head of the
East Jersey Water Company a Wall
street concern that has q monopoly
of the water supply in the cities of
Eastern New Jersey. He is also
one of the arbitrator at q $780,
600 salary, it is said of the nation
al railroad pool, q law-defying COM
bination. ehas q "barrel, which
he is expected to tap freely. That
and his ability to deliver 10 OF New
Jerseys 20 votes in the convention
to Mckinley were the considers
tions that induced his nomination.
He was "Mark Hanna's man."
His political experience has con-
sisted of few terms in the New
Jersey Legislature, membership in
the National Committee and some
successful practice as u New Jer-
sey boss. It will hardly be CON-
tended that this experience quail
fies a corporation lawyer for the
Office of President of the United
States. Yet on q dicker for con-
vention votes and for the sake of
heavy corporation contributions to
the campaign fund the Republi-
cans have nominated this man for
an Office which would leave but one
mans uncertain life between him
and the supreme executive Office.
It is the bad outcome of a vicious
political system IN. Y. World.

and is still, opposed to the Demo-
cratic or popular idea of q tariff
for revenue only, and has nothing
in common with the masses except
and alone the silver fallacy. Bah!
the proposition is perfectly sicken-
ing. If the Democratic party is
so foolish as to nominate a free
silver Democrat for the presidency,
our party fealty will force us to
vote for him, but if in its madness
on this issue it should go so far as
to take up Republican, simply
because he is silver man, then we
should decline to support the NOM
inee. because there would be abso-
lutely no political principles at
stake. The Democratic party in
such case would only be wing of
the Republican party, and Demo-
Gratis would feel at liberty to be
neutral in the fight. II the finan-
cial question is to be the only issue,
and we are to vote for Republican
Silver Bug Teller or for Republi-
can Gold Bug Mckinley, then we
should like to have Bro. Brian ex-
plain to us why Democrats should
support one in preference to the
other.
No, stree; we will have no
such nonsense and treachery in
ours. Give us q Democrat for
President, let him be Silver Dick
Bland or any other, and we will
seat crow" like a man, but we de-
cline to become a jackal and eat
carrion thrown away by the Re-
publican party.

Louisiana Populist, leader and
boss of the ranch in these parts
when it comes to whipping the
misguided rank and file of the
Populists into line on any issue he
decides to use them for, is out
with new proposition, and this
time he wants them to go back on
their late Republican allies, and
go in with the Democrats. He
says:
The bolt of Senator Henry M.
Teller from the Republican party
furnishes the first real opportunity
for the Democrats to win the fight
this fall. Those men who have
led the Democratic party when in
power, and failed to secure free
silver, can hardly inspire the free
silver hosts outside that perty, and
draw them to its support. So if
the Democratic party would win,
and its only hope is to agree with
the Republicans on tariff and with
the Populists on free silver, let it
nominate Senator Teller for stand
ard-bearer, and his nomination will
be heartily endorsed by the Popu-
lists at st. Louis, July 22d. Such
a man as Teller, who has been
friendly to the South and an idol
of the West, and who has the con-
fdence of the entire country for
integrity and ability, can unite the
great masses of this country on
the two grandest principles of
American economy = free silver
and protection-and lead them to
victory. If the Democratic party
should do this it would astonish
the world by doing the wisest
thing it could do under the present
situation. On this combination
Teller would sweep this State
against Mckinley and likewise al
most every other State South of
the Potomac and west of Pennsyl-
vania. Under this plan thePopu-
lists would come in for little or
none of the ''spoils," but they
would be absolutely and sure of
free silver and protection, and nine
tenths of them would be satisfied,
while the Democratic politicians
by reason of the size of their or
ganization would control nearly all
the appointments, and would there
fore be happy. If this is not done
there will be three Presidential
tickets in the field, and the Popu-
lists and Republicans will combine
on a joint electoral ticket in this
State, and will carry it overwhelm-
ingly.
If Mr.. Brian has any we'll defin-
ed political principles he should
stick to them, and not be such &
weather-cock as to face in a differ.
emit direction every time the vino
changes its course on the politica
horizon. He claims to belong to I
party of set convictions and def
mite ideas of reform, yet within I
few weeks time here he is advocat
ling first that his party surrendel
its convictions and vote a Repub
lican ticket, and now that the.
swallow their principles again AM
20 in with the Democrats.
The proposition he makes is en-
tirely too "fishy" to please the oil
