Birmingham state herald., 1896-05-14

Tom Grlmmett who is the combination nominee for secretary of state, was once the sheriff of Macon county, elected by the negroes in reconstruction times. He believes in negroes holding office in Alabama, and if elected would doubtless install colored secretary at the capitol, and yet MT. Goodwin preferred Grim melt to Fonvifle and made his convention put Grimmett on the ticket.

TO discuss the currency question In
Chicago, that seems eminently proper
II Secretary Smith argues this or that
issue in Georgia, no harm can come OF
II; 1t happens that, in this instance, the
secretary and ex-Speaker Crisp were
engaged in a round of joint debates
there can be no harm in that. In fact.
there appears to be merit in the plan
which finds a representative of the ma
tional administration frequently on the
tribune. Intelligent talk helps to en-
tighten the masses of the voters; is
sues are thus presented from another
than the newspaper standpoint. Twen-
ty engagements that would bring Sec
rotary Carlisle and Senator Teller to-
gether before large audiences In joint
debate of the currency question would
result in good.

THE PROPHETS AGAIN.

Mr.. Depew, to whom a birthday ban
quet was rendered by Brooklyn club.
Saturday night, took occasion to praise
President Cleveland because of his
magnificent courage" in fighting free
coinage. Mr.. Depew disagrees with
the president on almost every ques-
ton of public policy, but the railroad
magnate is willing to forgive all else
as long as Mr.. Cleveland persists in
pursuing silver.
A representative republican and a
citizen who is occasionally mentioned
as a presdetial possibility, Mr.. Depew
is one of the leaders who. in extra-ses-
sion days, predicted that the policy of
the Cleveland administration and the
repeal of the Sherman act would
speedily restore prosperity to the coun-
try. He Is one of the many foes of sill
Yer whose prophecy has proved, under
the never failing test of time. to be
mockery. Yet these people keep right
on with their predictions. Mr. Depew's
promise now is that sound money"
and protection must go hand in hand,
that the country demands not one but
both and he proposes that this shall
be the republican watchword in this
years campaign.
What will happen? If the repub-
lcans carry the country next Novem-
Der, there will be any amount of tariff
talk in the newspapers. The new ad-
ministration will not come in until
March, 1897. Unless a special session
is called, congress will not meet until
December, after the advent of the new
occupant of the white house. Con-
gress will not get fairly at its work
until January. 1898; it will be summer
of that year before any tariff changes
of account can be made law. Mean
while the tariff talk will have wearied
the people, and 1t is more than prob
able that a political upturning will re-
store the democrats to a majority In
the house Of representatives.; that is
the way things usually run in this
country.
With the result that the year 1900
will be upon us and prosperity be as
far away as ever; there isn't doubt
i'm the world that the prevailing con-
ditions-which are admitted by men
like Mr.. Depew to be unfavoIable-
will continue until the real cause of
the trouble is removed. The remedy
lies in the restoration of silver to its
old-time function in the currency

FIGURES FOR REED.

Congressman Aldrich, of Illinois, has
been giving out some figures relating
to Speaker Reeds vote-he claims a
good deal more than is conceded at the
Mckinley headquarters. He takes ac-
count. he says, only Of the delegates
already elected of whose preferences
he is perfectly sure. leaving out all
the doubtful men. He has made up
table by states, and he figures 1t out
that. of 494 delegates, Reed has Ill,
Mckinley 1859, the field 16S, the rest
doubtful. In this calculation Mr..
Aldrich claims New Hampshire's eight
votes for Reed and the same number
from Rhode Island. He also credits
Reed with eight votes from North
Carolina and with six from Okla
homa. Whether that territory will be
given these votes is a question. AS for
South Carolina, there is much dispute
touching the regularity of the conven-
ton that elected delegates. If Mr..
Reed has the sixteen votes of the two
New England states, Rhode Island and
New Hampshire, his information is
private: the public has been led to be-
lieve differently. However. Mr.Aldrich
may be permitted to be generous in
making claims-that Is supposed to be
a factor in good complaining.

there is much TO be said in favor Of the
plan that would make IL customary for

SOME of THE ESTIMATES.

On this page appears this morning
some of the guesses on the strength
that silver will show in the Chicago
convention. One of the estimates. is
from the New York Journal. It's totals
are: Silver delegates 446; gold dele
gates 1854; doubtful 107. Each reader
may judge of the value of the Jour
nails calculation. II leaves Georgia
doubtful and also Kentucky and Vir-
ginia. 1t gives all of Illinois to silver
as well as Michigan. Nebraska and
Indiana. Senator Palmer has lately
admitted that the silver men are in
control in Illinois. All the influence the
administration has in Michigan is that
which Don. NJ. Dickinson exerts, and
the unit rule will make good the claim
respecting Indiana.
Another estimate on the convention
printed this morning. appeared In the
New York Herald of recent date. The
showing is not as rosy for silver as that
be a surprise to people who have been
assuming that the administration peo-
pie can run the Chicago convention and
defeat silver off hand. The Herald's
estimate is: Silver delegates 1888; gold
delegates 354; doubtful 21S. Even or
this showing. IL becomes a serious ques-
ton whether the silver men will not
control the conventions: the chances are
that they can dictate the platform. II
they do. IL will be one on which neither
