The action Of the Democratic Convention
OF Minnesota I'm declaring by am almost
two thirds majority against free silver
and for sound money will probably have
no effect upon the action of the National
Convention. but 1t is gratifying, never
theess. TO Democrats who have NOT lost
their heads. as showing that the whole
Democratic party is not bereft OF reason.
Indeed we see evidences every day that
though the sound and sensible men Of the
party have been beaten down with clamor
and noise, they still retain their self
possession and remain unmoved in deyo-
tion TO their convictions.
We were riding down Broad street I'm n
mule-car last Friday when a passenger
who was plainly a countryman. asked tho
conductor for transfer "tO the court
house" The conductor said they did
not transfer ITO the courthouse meaning
the City Hall. We took in the situation.
and remarked TO the countryman: "These
oity people think they have the only court
house there IS but they should learn
that the country people have a court
house also. Give the man a transfer TO
the Main-stroct line"
THIS method OF Introduction got US en-
rapport with our country friend who told
us he lived ten miles out in the country.
We asked him II there was any free
silver out there. lie said there was. but
his manner showed very plainly that he
wanted TO know our views before he
committed himself. We told him then
that we were opposed to free silver. lie
then said that be was also. lie said ne
had carried musket all through the
war in an infantry regiment. and had been
twice badly wounded. lie had voted the
Democratic ticket at every election since
The war. and was dyed-n-the Dem
ocrat. but that he should not vote IL at
the coming election. We asked him 81
there were Others in his neighborhOod that
thought as he did, and he said mere OF
them thought with him than against him.
Now this was plain. unpretentious man
OF the people but he had as clear an appre-
hension Of what is involved IA this contest
as a Philosopher. II Is an item OF evil
dence that goes t. show that all Democrats
have not lost their heads. There is probd-
bly, a majority Of the Democrats OF the
South and OF the far West in favor CT
free silver, and. this being so. the sound
money Democrats simply omitted to take
part In the preliminary contests that
preceded the conventions. But they arc
still In the country. and firm IN uhelr con-
victons. When the cyclone has swept
over the party in November, they Will
then be heard from, and they will consti-
tute the skeleton upon which the party
will be brought together ana "eorganized
upon true And sound D~,- oeTa4c prnci-
pies.

HANNA THE GREAT.

All the reports from st. Louis repre-
sent Mark llama as the an-potential
person there No one else receives the
slghtcs. consideration. lie receives the
consideration paid 10 Napoleon by the
Kings Of Europe at Dresden on his way
to Russia. Tho correspondent of the New
York Sun puts IL thus: but what is the
use of talking about what Mr.. Mckinley
wants. lie does not seem TO be in this
procession a little bit. IT IS all Hanna,
Hannl. Hanna" other correspondents
telegraph that Mr.. Hanna is now engaged
in settling n contest for seats in the
convention from d certain state. and
others telegraph that being through with
that he IS now engaged in determining
what the platform shall be. But whatever
phase Of the case arises, it is Hanna,
and nothing but Hanna.
This sudden and universal dominion OF
Hanna is q phenomenon that may very
well engage the very serious attention Of
the American people. Whence does it
arise? How did ii come about? 1t IS
perfectly safe TO say that twelve months
ago there were not one thousand people
outside Of the State Of Ohio that knew
there was such a person as Mark Hanna
ia existence. All his immense prominence
has grown up within n few months. and
it has all grown out Of his management
Of McKinlcy's canvass for President.
Hanna has never performed one single
public service that any one ever heard
Of and when the public began to inquire
who he was It found that he was a very
wealthy iron manufacturer IN Ohio, but
with no claim Of any sort TO public atten-
ton except the fact that he was wealthy
iron manufacturer. Hanna naturally
wants a high protective tariff. and he
has supplied the money with which TO
manufacture a sentiment for Mckinley.
There is where McKinley's apparent popu-
larity has come from. and there is where
Hanna's sudden Importance has come
from.
But the important question for the
American people to consider is whether
an Influence and an Importance thus
acquired is healthy in its tendencies as
they may affect the institutions of the
country? If Hanna has had TO spend his
money TO acquire control Of the Republi-
can convention. is not Hanna going TO
require the Republican party, when it
comes mo power TO pay Hanna well for
what he has done? 1t goes without
saying that he WILL and this election is
probably going TO introduce an entirely
new phase in American politics, tho
custom of wealthy men, who want special
legislation enacted for their benefit buy
ing up national conventions and thus
controlling the dominating party. Free
silver Will prevent the American people
giving expression this time to their views
upon this kind Of politics. but we predict
that it is the last time it viii be allowed
TO pass without protest. Meanwhile
Hanna has. OF course, been compelled to
make many promises for Mckinley in
addition to the actual money spent by
him. and he has no doubt fully justified
the remark imputed 10 Mr.. Cleveland that
Mckinley viii be ''mortsaged President"
lie Will not have a very happy time
when he comes TO deal with Hanna's
promises
