EVEN OHIO IN DANGER
MCKINLEY CANNOT CARRY TT.
THE GREAT REVOLUTION.
The Intelligent Voters of Ohio Are
Loaded for Bear-Silver
Arguments.

Washington, D. c., July 29.-The
Star tonight prints the following:
Judge R. NJ. Ditty, of Hillsboro, O.,
who Is gold democrat, and quite active
in politics, talked today with a Star re-
porter on the situation in Ohio.
II never saw such situation in poll
tics BEFORE" said he. Many waves Of
sentiment have swept over Ohio, but
have never seen anything like the pres
ent. In the country districts the silver
sentiment is intense. Every man you
see is loaded with arguments, and there
is no use trying to talk with them.
THE silver men have been reading
everything they could get hold Of on their
side Of the question, until they can out
talk Harvey. They are as glib as pos
sible with arguments which / regard as
false, but which they will dance all over
anyone who says gold. 1t has become a
sort Of religion with them, and they will
rot listen to nor tolerate opposition. You
can't make any impression on them any
more than you can argue man out OF his
religious faith. The thing has spread 80
that regard the result in the state as
doubtful, and perhaps with the probable
ity favorable to Bryan. Sri
"At all events. it is by no means cer-
tain that Mckinley can carry the state.
The normal majority IS about 25000. That
Is the safe, natural republican majority.
There are about $1,000 Populist votes and
10000 prohibition votes. Bryan VIII
probably get $4,000 Populist votes and 49,
900 prohibition votes. That is, he will
get the silver vote of those two parties.
''In the cities there VIII be consider
able gold democratic vote for Mckinley;
in the country districts there will be q
larger silver republican vote for Bryan.
These may pretty nearly Offset each other.
though it looks as if Bryan would get
mere republican votes in the country
than he will lose democrats In the cities.
"There Is hardly anything but silver
talked throughout the state. The men
around the threshing machines at lunch
time. the groups around the country
stores and about the village hotels, re-
publicans and democrats head to head,
are talking, about the money question.
Men who never before could talk to-
gether on politics without punching
each others heads are hand in hand or
are talking the matter over from differ
ent standpoints in sympathetic spirit.
If any one says gold there will at once be
half dozen men to jump on him. 1t
makes no difference how much fallacy
there is in their arguments, these country
folks think they have mastered the
question, and they can put in ten words
to one Of the man who tries to show them
that they are wrong.
II have gold bug on my coat. A
farmer came up to me and took hold Of
my coat collar and he'd the gold button
up to view.
"'That's the bug that got into our
wheat he said, and reduced It 50 per
cent
"The rest all took It up, and thought
It, a good thing. There was no sort Of
argument could put up to outweigh this
rustic wit. That sort of thing goes for
argument It is silver silver, all through
the country districts"

diets Utter Ruin of British Trade.
IL Free Silver Wins.
The following is an editorial from the
London Financial News (goldbug):
There is plain moral in the remark
that IL the United States would venture to
cut itself adrift from Europe and take
outright to silver she would have all
America and Asia at her back and the
comand Of the markets of both countries.
The barrier of gold would be more fatal
than any barrier of a custom house. The
bond of silver would be stronger than any
bend of free trade. There can be no doubt
about it that if the United States were to
adopt a silver basis tomorrow British
trade would be ruined before the year
was out.
Every American would be protected not
only at home but In every other market.
OF course the United States would suffer
to certain extent through having to nay
her obligations abroad in gold, but the
loss Of exchange under this head would be
mere drop in the bucket as compared to
the profit to be reaped from the markets
OF South America and Asia,to say nothing
of Europe The marvel is that the United

SEWALL A HOODOO.
Will Queer the Whole Game If He
Don't Come Down.

That Mr.. Sewall is stumbling block in
the way of Bryan's success, no one cares to
dispute. He is simply bump on a log
With him Bryan will lose many states that
he could gain with Tom Watson, and carry
none that he could not carry with the Pop
ulist nominee. Without Sewall he could
carry just as easy every state that would
otherwise support the regular Democratic
nominees, and, besides, carry the ones he
cannot carry SO long as Sewall trails along
behind. Without Popul.st aid the Demo-
Gratis can neither elect a president nor a
vice-president. With Sewall in the way
Bryan's cause is weakened, while Watson
Is not so much affected, yet one cannot be
elected without the other, as the election of
either vice-presidential candidate is an
undertaking not likely to be accomplished
by any division of electoral vote. While.
Watson will undoubtedly get more electo-
raj votes than Sewall, neither one will re-
ceive enough to elect. Hobart will prob
ably have more than either of the others,
but will be hopelessly shy of enough to
elect him. The contest will then go to the
senate. Under the twelfth amendment
the senate would choose from the two
highest on the list voted for, which of
course would leave Sewall out in the cold,
0Au Lie I6uL WOulu UC DCLWCCu I1OUdIL anu
Watson. Since the Populists and Demo-
Gratis would have more votes combined than
the Republicans, they would be in control
of the situation. The Democrats would
not vote for Hobart, and would be COM
PEELED to support the Populist nominee, by
which means Watson would have clear
majority over Hobart and become the
vice-president. Either way Sewall's cake
Is dough, and he might as we'll withdraw
and help Bryan that much as to remain OBJ
stinate and get slaughtered in the United
States senate.
Another reason that just.fies the demand
for the withdrawal of Mr.. Sewall is to give
representation to the South on the national
ticket. The South should be recognized
and will give no support to the national
banker from Maine. The Democratic ma
tional committee ought to have foresight
enough to see that Sewall is hindrance
to the possibility OF silver being remonet-
lied and to Bryan being elected president,
and might possibly result in a Republican
vice-president. though such a c:rcum-
stance is barely probable under the work.
ings OF the ELECTORAL majority. If the COM
mittee IS wise it will take sheep crook
and pull him off the perch. II It don't the
hoggishness manifested will be enough to
queer the entire game. Bryan is albright,
but Sewail is all wrong.-St. Louis Jour-
nal. a.

MR.. RANKIN'S. VIEWS.
Claims Tom Watson will Not be
Withdrawn From the Ticket.

Terre Haute, Ind, July 3O-Morton
G. Rankin, treasurer Of the Popul!st ma
t.onal committee, to which position he
was reelected by acclamation, and men,
ber of the executive committee has re-
trrned from st. Louis, where he re-
NAMED several days after the conven-
ton to settle up the affairs Of the conven-
ton and Of the old committee. He> says
no attention should be paid to reports a.
to the policy of the committee No pol
ICY has been adopted other than to wait
until the democrats discover where
they are at" Mr.. Rankin was the au-
thor Of the plan to nominate southern
man for vice-president on the ticket
with Bryan and for division OF the
electors with the democrats. He is con-
fdent this latter feature of the plan will
be- adopted. 1--WE are letting the other
fellow walk the floor now," said he, land
when he finds that Bryan cannot be elected
without our votes he will come to terms.
The democrats have everything to lose.
We have nothing to lose and everything
to gain. That Ia the cue to the situation.
We can put Independent electoral tickets
in the field and while Bryan might have
a majority of the aggregate vote he would
not have majority OF the electors. He
can be elected If all the votes Of demo-
Gratis and Populists are cast for the same
sets of electors. In this state. Illinois.
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, they
must have our votes. We are not greedy.
In this state, for instance, we would be
satisfied with three or four Of the fifteen
electors.
There is no thought Of removing
Watson from the ticket. The commit
tee has full power to act in the matter,
but there are no members Of the commit
tee who would consider proposition to
take him of the ticket. We are NOT
worrying about the vice-presidency. Cur
electors will vote for Watson, and II the.
election should be thrown into the senate
we would not suffer-.
Speaking Of the convention, Mr.. Ran
kin said the plan to nominate vice-pres-
ident lrst was adopted because there was
danger the convention would go to pieces
Il the attempt were made to nominate
Bryan at the start. when we had
agreed to nominate q southern man for
vice-presidcnt and gave guarantee Of
good faith by changing the order OF nofn-
nations said Mr.. Rankin, "the middle
of-the.road delegates were kept In the
convention, which otherwise they would
have bolted. Then we gave the Bryan
pAople the permanent chairman, and tbs
kept them on hand Really, the Bryan
people were more likely to bolt tAAn -

BANKS BOARDING GOLD.
Eastern Bankers Call Their West

Eastern Bankers Call Their West
ern Brethren to Time.
Philadelphia American.
When Hannibal was encamped before
the gates of Rome, the piece of ground oc-
cupied by his camp was put up for sale,
and brought it's usual price. In this
way the Romans indicated their unsnaken
confidence in their final victory over the
Carthagenians, even when they could not
put an army into the field to face them.
This kind Of confidence seems to be
very much wanting to- the friends Of the
gold standard They are not satisfied
that they are going to win this year, and
that the silver people will carry out their
policy, SO they are beginning to gather
up and hoard the yellow metal, in the be-
lief that it will 60 to a premium after No
vember. The banks of Kansas City have
actually suspended gold payments for this
reason, and thus take their share in hoard
ing gold for future profit in selling it.
The bankers of our eastern cities have
wit enough to see that this policy is pus-
Unanimous and desperate. Besides CEN
suring their brethren in Kansas City,
they have taken steps to replenish the
gold reserve of the National Treasury by
paying in gold and taking greenbacks in
exchange There is nothing very heroic
IN this procedure. These greenbacks are
demand notes which can be converted in
to gold at the counter Of the New York
Sub-Treasury at any time. They are pay
able, indeed, in silver as well as gold, but
as the treasury pays silver only to those
who ask it, they are gold certificates
practically, and will be redeemed as such
at any date before the next 4th of March.
On the other hand, this step is eminent
ly polite. It will not do for the gold re-
serve to fall much below the limit of
500, 900, 900 fixed, without rhyme or
reason, as that needed for the redemption
of the greenbacks. If it fell to half that
sum, and nothing happened, a sacred SUI
perstit:on of the monometallists would be
shaken, If not shattered. Nor will it do
for Mr.. Carlisle to make another bond is
sue before next November. This the or
gans of the monometallists frankly admit,
would be ruinous to their cause. They
thus concede that those issues of bonds
to borrow gold were most distasteful not
only to the silver people, but to voters
whose support they count upon. Yet, as
soon as the election is over, we shall see
Mr.. Carlisle putting himself once more
into the hands of the New York money
lenders to Increase the national debt for
the sake of mon0metallism.
Very naturally our creditors abroad
and their agents IN New York are inter-
ested, and are going to do their share. It
is said that the foreign bankers are going
to furnish sterling exchange to the amount
OF $5O, ,O0O, 900 to $4,000, 900, in order to
check the export Of gold and obviate the
need for bond issue before November.
This g to be done, we are told, by the is
sue Of sixty-day bills, in the confidence
that the tide of gold will set toward US
before two months have expired. That
risk is proof how great is the interest Of
the foreign money Lenders in the main
tenance Of the gold standard

CLARKE KNOCKED OUT.

The primaries are over in Yell,
Pope and Johnson counties, and the
returns are satisfactory to Senator
Jones friends.
Senator Jones is reported by the
Gazette of this morning TO have
carried johnson county by about
800 majority, Yell county by about
200 majority and Pope county by
about 100 majority. Friends OF
both Jones and Clarke had claimed
the two latter counties, while the
former was conceded to Jones,
Jones, so far, has had walk
over, and unless Cove nor Clarke is
waiting for the Capitol building to
tumble down on him before he takes
the hint that he has no show, he
should come down and say, "I'm
mistaken in asking for this office,
for I find ! am not wanted by the
people"
We say three cheers for James
K. Jones, the leader of free silver;
may he ever win all his battles
while in the right, as in the fight.
