The Republican politicians are
heading for st. Louis where the ma
tional convention is to be held mex
week. The national committee Assem-.
| bled Wednesday and is at work on the
most difficult job it ever had settling
the contested seats, of which there
are 10. where at Minneapolis four years
ago there were only L. 1t is of course
itndossibIe TO pass on them iudicialy

and i. is said to be McKinley's wish
that all he admitted with half vote

done. for Mckinley can have anything
he wants. Of course il is beyond doubt
now that he will be nominated The
only question is whether the other
names will be presented at all. The
managers for the other candidates seem
to insist ON il and Mckinley is him
self disposed 10 accord that courtesy.
while his managing lieutenants want
to push through the nomination by ac-
clamation, being nervous over the risk
involved in balloting where there is
so much sound money sentiment
against him and SO many Mckinley
delegations are known to be honey
combed with opposition to him On
the other hand the same is true of the
anti Mckinley delegations. Hanna
claims 81 votes in New York and gives
the names OF them. The party was IN

Senator Proctor StOnned

Senator Proctor stopped over at
Canton, Ohio, for visit with Mex n-
ley Saturday while on his way to the
Republican national convention. The
fact. of course, gave fresh zest to the
talk Of his nomination for Vice Pres
ident and the press dispatches from
Canton this week say that this is real
" the plan on which the Mckinley
managers are bent. The senator him
self was interviewed on the subject
ust after the visit and said, coyly
II am only sure of one thing in
that connection, and that is that |
am not candidate. 1t is not custom
ary to name the Vice President until

presidency after we get to st. Louis. A
number of states have men whom they
would like to see nominated. New
England has one who is much talked
about. and one whom we would ali
like to support, Speaker Reed. But
| do not know whether he would ac-
cept it or not"
The senator expressed the opinion
that Mckinley would surely be the
head of the ticket and that the plat
form would declare for sound
money, clearly and unequivoc ally, and |
in language that can he understood the |
world over As to general matters he |
said the revenue deficiency would com

The present plight of the Democrat
ic party over the silver question is tht
logical fruit over its over shrewd, and
as the event proved, entirely unneces-
sary game of alliance with the Pop
ulists and running of fusion tickets in
the 1892 campaign. Abram S. Hewitt
saw it at this time and vigorously pro-
tested against it. He said.
''You are sowing the wind, and you
will reap the whirlwind. 1t would be
better for the Democracy to be defeat
ed in this campaign than to be sue
cessful through any alliance direct or
indirect with the Populists or with
the free silver element. No man can
restrain that element if it gets its
clutch upon power, and if it comes into
the party as a parasite it will destroy
the party. as parasites destroy the
tree. F"
There are good many men who.can
now see That Hewitt was right where
they then thought he WAS merely dys-
peptic.

compares with sl2,4T4. 55S for May,

two years of the Mckinley law. Again
does it reinforce the Republican arg

endwisei the companion argument
that what is Frustrating business is a
:" flood Of importations. The revenue
falls off because importations are fall

letters to silver men, assuring them of
his sympathy for silver. At least it
may be said that this isn't like Nc
Kinley, and it is only fair to demand
proof before believing it, Though he
may lack clearness and definiteness
of opinion, on some subjects, he
has never shown himself trckster.

ma claims. Damages are collected for
deprsdations on our commerce, de
struction Of our ships, etc. There is
nu doubt that the damages have
been inflicted and should be paid for
by the guilty nation, as they were by
England, and inferentialiy by France.
But to whom should the money go?
Most OF the shipowners were reimbursed
by the insurance companies, who there
fore set up the claim that they are the
real losers. But they reimbursed
themselves by charging higher rates
of premiums to correspond with the
risks of the time. AL shipping had
to contribute to this. and it all re-
couped itself by higher freight tariffs.
The real loss therefore, so far as rep
resented by insurance payments, was
borne by the general public, and the
nearest approach to equity is reached
by having the damage payments go the
same way into the public treasury.

pears to me unfortunate that Mckin-

For his daddy's comm home;

With his little face pressed wistfully
Against the window pane.
