The various State Conventions OF all
political parties will during the coming

The number Of electors chosen BY each

.bnmens made by the eleventh census Is
cue to every i7s.301 in q State, which gives
9 total Of S57 representatives. There are
20 Senators. This makes the total repre-

Al, and the electoral college will therefore
be composed Of 447 members. The sp-
pended table shows the vote which each

We wonder if ever a r~eprobate started
out on a scheme OF conquest that did not
insist that he was compelled to do it be-
cause of the bad actions Of other people.
For instance, Cecil Rhodes issues a proc
lamation which declares he will "lose no
time in thoroughly thrashing the rebels
and giving them an everlasting lesson"
"Rebels against whatf" is what the
world will ark. Mr.. Rhodes is the head
Of the South Africa Company. which is
the same nature a. the East India Com
psny was. and which represents . trick
which England long ago dropped upon In

ncKrSLEY AGAINST SILVER.

On the 2lst Of last March, after the
Ohio Republican State Convention had
concluded its lsbors, adopted a meaning
less, straddle financial plank in the plat
form and instructed the delegates to vote
for Hon. William Mckinley for Presi-
dent in the Republican National Conven.
ton at st. Louis on the 10th Of June
next, the SENTINEL called attention to
the fact that even the Ohio plank was
not in harmony with the views OF Mr..
Mckinley on the silver question. 1t
based its assumption on what the gentle
man had said at Townsville, Georgis.
last year. At the time this paper pub
lished the statement, several admirers Of
the Ohio statesman in this vicinity could
not be made to believe that he had made
the remarks against silver which were
attributed to him. But be did make
them, and the SENTINEL was correct
when it said so. However, il there still
remains any doubt in the minds Of Repub.
licans here as to what Major Mckinley
said, we reproduce the following article
from the New York Mail and Express,
the leading Republican newspaper Of the
Empire State, if not the United States,
to substantiate the statement made then.
The Express considered the expressions
of Mr.. Mckinley Of such great import
ance that il placed . ''fash-hesd" over
them. The SENTINEL copies the article
entire, including the heading:

the utter inadequacy of their popula-
tion. The last census or the United

Mexico less than $4,000 male citizens

only $4,000. If the entire vote Of Ari-

Our Money-A.s 1t Is.

our Money-As It Is," by j. H. Cuntg.
is the title of a recent issue In the Reform
CLUBS Sound Currency series. Approaching
the ract that our present currency system is
complicated one, little understood by the
majority of our people, the author sets before
himself the task of explaining just how each
element came into existence, and lust what
position 1t occupies today. Gold coin, gold
certlhcates, greenbacks," currency certffi-
Gates, national bank-notes, silver dollars
silver certificates, treasury notes of 1885, SUBJ
sldiary silver and minor coin, are all taken I'D
one after the other, and fully explained We
quote the following from the Introduction: :"
AS money Is a thing which affects every
memDer or community, and from whose in
nuence none can escape, it is of particular
Importance that the laws and customs which
regulate the money of q country should be
clearly understood by all, so that possible
defects in the system may be quickly re-
cognlZed and corrections inteliigently applied
Now, as a means to this clearer under
standing OF the currency system Of the United
States an attempt is here made to separately
examine our different kinds of money and
briefly trace their history, showing the POSI-
ton occupied by each and the relation of the
various parts of each other.
AT present there Is q strong feeling that
changes ought to be made in our currency
system, but before saying what our money
should be, we must know what it is''

sistance to those who, making no claim to
be monetary experts, nevertheless wish at
least to understand what our currency is
