The number OF votes necessary to
elect is 224.
In this calculation New York is con-
coded to the republicans, although
their party losses by the Raines liquor
bill, Rooseveltism and other isms
would probably more than counterb al
ance Wall street defections of the de-
mocracy. Ifthese losses should balance
each other the state would be natural
ly democratic In Michigan and uli-
nois the silver feeling is rampant re-
gardless of party. and the democrats
would have the best chance of success
Iowa would also be a fairly debatabie
state on the silver issue, unless Mr..
Allison should be the republican nom
inee.
As the silver issue is thus pressed
rapidly to the front, the tariff is rel
egated to the rear. 1t is matter of
history that in presidential fights only
one great issue occupies the minds of
the American voters. If Mckinley
should be nominated he will have to
give up his Ohio silver straddle, quit

Snag.
1t would be we'll if certain populist
"leaders," who are so eagerly chasing
the silver issue, were to pause long
enough to apprehend the following
facts:
First: Those democratic political MS
who are leading the fight for the recog-
milton of silver by the national demo
cratic convention and the nomination
of a silver man upon silver platform
use as their leading argument the as
sertion that such a course pursued by
alize and disrupt the peoples party
and enable the democracy to retain
their hold upon many of the southern
states which otherwise are sure to be
captured by the populists. Second:
That whether the democracy declares
for silver, or the peoples party is al
lowed to maintain sole proprietorship
of the silver issue, neither the demo-
cratic nor the peoples party can elect
a president. ard the best that it can
be hoped to accomplish is to throw the
election of a president aud vice presi-
dent into the present congress of the
United States. And this is almost GER
tain to be the outcome no matter
what action the democratic conven-
ton takes in regard to silver, and it
will result uninf1uenced by any action
the populist convention may take, and
it will not be dependent upon whether
the populists adopt radical platform
oio1 70 = l,o
views of the silver men.
From the Chicago Weekly Dispatch,
a democratic silver paper, 1 clip the
following analysis of the political sit
uation and statement of what can be
accomplished by the democratic party
if it declares for silver coinage. Says
the Dispatch:
1t is admitted that declaration at
Chicago for free coinage would attract
to the democratic party a very large
number of populists, who left the
democracy on account of Wall street
leadership; also large number of sill
yer republicans in the Pacific coast
and mountain states. as we'll as the
Mississippi valley, and also the entire
mem bership of the independent silver
party, which a few months ago nomi-
mated Mr.. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, for
president These great accessions can
not be dismissed or put aside in any
intelligent estimate of the campaign,
and they are now giving pause and
anxious thought to the shrewd repub-
lican managers
. The following may. in view of such
re-enforcements. be accepted as a very
conservative estimate for the democ-
racy in case of u free coinage platform
and candidate of the electoral votes
to be cast for the democrats and for
the republicans, with the dou btful list
of the fairly debatable states

Ringbrand WINGED, for had he not

Money in Dreams.

Here is "a strange true tale" with
the scene in Georgia, near the flourish
ing town of Covington: A few years
ago negro woman living near Coving-
ton lost son, by death A week or so
ago the woman had a dream in which
the son appeared to her and told her
that if she would go to certain corner
of the house and dig she would find a
fat rock, underneath which she would
find a lot of silver money. The woman
awoke and was SO much wrought up
over the vision that she aroused some
of the family and went at once to the
designated spot and began to dig.
Soon the fat rock was reached and re-
moved with trembling hands and high
expectation. A small box was re-
vealed; this was taken out and opened,
and, to the wonder and establishment
of all present. it contained so silver
dollars.-Atlanta Constitution.

leigh very uncomfortable. One of them
is the idea that it is part of her mis-;
sion to bring about the social reco,-
milton of the negroes" She said mig
gers" but the provincialism bore nc
contemptuous accent.
The remark caught Ringbrand off his
guard and he said: There is room for
reform along that line, isn't there?"
THAT depends very much upon the
point of view" Hester drew herself up
and a shade of austerity came into her
manner. I'm not quite sure how yo,,
regard it in the north, though papa says
you make no distinction-or, at least,
not very much. With us the question
has been definitely settled for a long
time
He was besotted enough to try to
argue the point with her. Don't you
think that much of the objection to so
cial equality on the score of the color of
a persons skin is prejudice?'' he asked.
You are at liberty to call it that or
anything else you please she an
swered, with chilly preciseness, land
there is nothing to prevent your put
ting yourself upon an equality with our
servants if you feel so disposed"
I'm sure l don't wish to do that,
though I'm quite as certain that the
question of color or race would not pre-
vent me. 1 think the negroes in the
north are given all the social rights
they expect or deserve; they are at
least the social equals of white people
in their own class"
Hester rose and stood before him
with sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks,
and he forgot all about the argument
in his admiration of her superb lowell
ness. That's just it," she exclaimed;
you all are quite willing to let the ne
groes take their chances in the north,
but you try to compel us to accept
them as equals, without regard to class.
whether we want to or not"
1t was not their first difference, and
Ringbrand smiled. You are of the
south, aren't you, Miss Hester? wish
you would teach me how to be enthus-
iastic." he said, mildly.
1T would be hopeless task" she re-
Piled.
I'm not so sure about that think
