OPINIONS OF TWO LEADERS,

Two prominent Republicans OF New
York have expressed their opinions as 20
the possible nominee at St. Louis Their
opinions are diametrically opposed, and
yet each seems confident that what he
says win come to pass. chauneey NJ.
Depew Is one OF the delegates at large
from the Empire state. de has just
visited Governor Morton. and thus gives
rein to his views as wen as those Of the
governor:
Il found the governor in a most serene
state OF mind. His health is excellent,
and he is not worrying about the cares
Of his Office or the possibilities OF his
canvass. he is jus, conSented ana serene,
and II somebody else is nominated at ST.

But Mr.. Morton really expects 70 be nom

nef that the convention will make him
its candidate. The governor is sure the
sound money idea win prevail, and that
be viii be The man the party will select
to stand on its gold standard platform.
/ shall place his name before the con-
vention. and he will be enthusiastically
supported by almost the solid delegation
from this state. The governor has as
surances Of support from sound money
men all through the West. and should
the balloting be prolonged believe he
viii be nominated"
Hon Fredefick d. Grant. having
called on Major Mckinley, sees through
ainerent speetacles. as a perusal of the
following statement from him will show:
4 am personal friend of Major Nc
Kinley. Eighteen months ago accom-
panied Mckinley on a trip through the
country, and at that time it was very
easy 10 see the feeling which existed
l feel sure that Mckinley viii be nomi-
mated on the first ballot The feeling in
New York is for Mckinley among the
masses OF the people. In regard to Nc
Kinley's money policy, 1 will say that
there is no money issue at the front in
the present campaign as far as it has
gone. The tariff is the issue at the
present time. But Mckinley represents
the Republican doctrine on the money
question He represents sound money"
Here is an opportunity for those who
wish TO institute comparisons. Possibly
the latitude where the utterauees were
made may have had something to do
with what was said TO the interviewer.
Mr.. Depew talked in New York. while
Commissioner Grant had his say in the
sacred shades OF Canton. Then Mr..
Depew has a task in hand-that Of brac-
ing up weak-kneed members Of the New
York delegation who may be faltering
in their allegiance TO the governor. The
opinions afford another one OF the many
diversions incident to the ante-nomina-
ton campaign.

While a good many OF the consuls un-
der Mr. Cleveland have had the political
sagacity to send In consular reports that
are calculated to destroy the force OF
protection arguments, Consular General
Max Judd. who resides at Vienna. says
the Chicago Times-Herald deals with
the recent great strike OF the tailors
which involved 5000 operatives in the
principal cities Of the German empire.
Mr.. Judd's candor is so unusual that It
Is positively delightful. In touching
upon the industrial aspects Of the strike
Mr. Judd inadvertently reveals the fact
that the wages OF German cloakmakers
have been gradually reduced until an
operative is compelled TO pay rent and
purchase clothing and food on Sl25 per
week. We have sweaters" and sweat
shops in this country, but this is sweat
ing close to the starvation point. Free
traders in this country have answered
with cheers the alarums Of the protec-
tionists with reference TO the "pauper
labor Of Europe" But Mr. Judd has
injudiciously and wantonly contributed
valuable material to the protection liter
ature that will be made available in the
coming campaign by giving official testi-
mony to the fact that there is such a
thing as the 'pauper labor Of Europe"
1t is true that we have sweatshops OF
our own, but the most Indifferent friend
Of American labor will not fail to see
that there is a grave danger in such
competition as German cloakmakers that
are paid s1.25 per week

miration for Washington undoubtedly in

arms are rather similar TO our seal
Originally the selection OF seal was left
to a committee appionted by congress,
and composed OF BENJAMIN Franklin,
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, ana
they employed a French West Indian
named Du Sinitiero. not only TO furnish
designs. but to sketch such designs as
were suggested by themselves. In one
OF his drawings the artist displayed on a
shield armorial ensigns OF the several
nations from whence America had been
peopled. embracing those Of England,
Scotland. France. Germany and Holland.
After several other committees had
vainly tried 10 perfect seal which
should meet the approval OF congress,

placing Il on the breast OF an American
