THE SILVER MINE OWNERS At
TORNEY.

The Chicago Chronicle, the leading
Democratic paper in the west, states
that w. J. Bryan, the nominee of the
Chicago convention, is the paid at
torney Of the silver millionaire mine
owners, and has been employed in be-
half of their cause for the past few
years. This statement is hardly to
be doubted, when it is known that
Mr.. Bryan is a comparatively poor
man, and has had no visable means
of support since his retirement from
congress two years ago. The big
mine owners have an association in
their personal interests, and the
Chronicle says that "among the men
who have been thus employed and
carried on the pay roll of the Big
Bonanzas for number of years is
William j. Bryan, of Nebraska. The
The Chronicle further says:
SIN addition to this, Bryan is not
now and for two or three years has
not pretended to be a Democrat. He
formally and publicly renowned Dem
ocracy in 1894 and with equal for
mality and publicly joined the Popu-
lists.
''He is handsome, snowy, vain fell
low, with surprising gift of CAB and
trick of saying nothing in very
edifying fashion.
Having taken lessons of Tillman,
Waite, Altgeld and Pennoyer during
the last year or two, he has acquired
facility of encouraging treason, re-
bellion and other unlawful enterprises
in well rounded sentences that his
mentors enjoy quite as keenly as old
Fagin the amazing precocity Of his
hopeful, Charley Bates.
"Bryan is yOung-nOt too young to
be president if he had a sound head
and an honest heart, but just enough
to be smart and dangerous when I'M
der the influence, as he is and will be,
Of deeper and craftier men"

The st. Paul Dispatch has an inter-
esting bit of political gossip woven in
between the warp and wool of the Re-
publican committee craftsmanship
which has been on for two or three
days between the friends of Bixby
and Eastman. 1t is to the effect that
the state officials, aside from Gov.
Clough and Auditor Dunn, want
Bixby to control the Gestinies of the
present campaign, believing that his
experience and political sagacity are
more to be relied upon to bring sue
cess out of what promises to be a
holly contested campaign than to
take up man who has never had any
experience with state politics, and
who at best knows but few of the
local workers in the various counties.
On the other hand, the governor feels
that he has suffered all the criticisms
he cares to on account of his private
secretary holding the position of COM
mlttee craftsmanship, and Dunn, hav-
ing his eye on the gubernatorial chair
don't want BiXOy in a position where
lie can block his king row. Hence it
Is, according TO rumOr, that these last

The aggregate of electoral votes is
AT. Giving Mckinley 2S2 leaves a
majority of IS for the Republican
ticket, it requiring 224 to nominate.
To show the fairness of the above
table we have not included either OF
the Dakotas, Nebraska nor Tennes-
see, all debatable states, and as likely
to go for Mckinley as to any other
candidate, and in the case of Tennes-
see much more so. If we deduct from
the above table from California, Is
from Kentucky, from WestVirginia
and 4 from Washington, a total of 81,
every one of which are morally GER
tain to support the Republican candi-
dates, we still have $50 or clear
majority of 26 in the electoral college.
But further than this Mckinley will
very likely get 4 from South Dakota,
5 from Nebraska and II from Tennes-
see, a total of "a which, added to the
2S2 given him in the above table,
would aggregate BOG which represents
the stalwart strength in the memora-
bic Grant convention, and which will
come nearer being McKinley's vote in
the electoral college than any esti-
mates yet given. But let the rad
icals discount these figures as much
as they may, they cannot be reduced
below the necessary number to install
the Ohio statesman president of the
United States on the 4th of March.

The parallel is deadly one. 1t is
seldom that fiops are made so sud-
denly. But every man, woman and
child, who knows anything, knows
why this sudden flop is taken
from a professed sound money
position, to the support of
the Populistic, anarchistic, silver
mine owners platform, which calls for
the free and unlimited coinage of a
5O-cent dollar. and PRONUNCIATION of
the anarchistic sentiments of Altgeld
and Tillman. 1t bends the pregnant
knee that thrift may follow fawning,
simply because it's editor now holds
and hopes to continue to hold, should
the Chicago ticket win, the postotfice.
Never before in the political history
of the country has there been time
when great party papers have so gen.
orally declined to support their party
ticket and platform as is now the case
with the great Democratic papers of
the country. Nor when prominent
leaders have renounced personal sup
port. Yet as one looks back upon the
devious path which the past course of
the ReuieaU has followed, it is not a
matter of great surprise that the hope
of holding the postoffice is matter of
greater moment with it than the
broad question of principle: that in
the vain endeavor to make that hope
possibility, it will lustilySsupport a
policy, which if it should happen to
succeed, would cut all money values
in two, reduce the value of every bank
deposit, every savings bank account,
every insurance policy, all building
and loan association stock, every pen
sion, the earnings of every wage
Garner one-half. All this is of small
account. Fifty-cent dollars, anarchy
and misery may prevail everywhere if
only the postoffice can be retained.
A few days ago it gloried in the
fearless independence" of the man
who gave it its present crumb from
the pie counter. Saturday night it &C
cepts and approves Of the anarchistic
condemnation of him without word.
These references are not made in a
spirit of hostility toward our neighbor.
Not bit of it. Attention is simply
called to our contemporaries attitude
to show how easily it can condone the
anarchistic abuse of President Cleve-
land in order to square itself with the
Bryan gang.

M'KlNLEY'S STRENGTH.

Now that the two leading parties
nave placed their candidates for presi-
dent and vice-president before the
people of the country, tables showing
the electoral strength of the respect
i've parties will be frequently mace
and not infrequently revised. TO any
candid thinking mind there can be
but one outcome to the contest-the
election of Mckinley and Hobart. Ii
this result was not apparent before,
the action of the Democratic conven-
ton in presenting to the people the
most radical anarchistic platform
ever promulgated by a national con-
yention has made it doubly so.

states that it believes absolutely GER
tain to go for Mckinley, and in pre-

How 1T WORKS.

Here is statement of facts-of a
business nsactien-vouched for by
Mr.. Isham Sedgwick in The Indian
apolis Journal 1t is certainly for
chile object lesson on the silver ques-
tion:
MAY 10, Manning Bros. sold, at
Leon, Nicaragua, for the Indiana
Coffee Co.. one draft of $1,000 ninety
days sight, at Sl17 premium, receiv-
ing therefore $2,170 in silver dollars.
These silver dollars are identical in
weight and tineness with those of the
United States. Nicaragua is a free
silver country, and as a consequence
gold has almost entirely disappear
ed from her borders. The books of
the Indiana Coffee Co. show that the
wages of common laborers is about 40
cents per day paid in silver, and the
laborers board themselves. By this
means they realize little less than
ISL cents per day, gold. At the same
time these laborers have to pay IS
cents per yard for ordinary yard-wide
muslin-that is, they get about II
yards of muslin for one days work.
AS an employer of labor 1 should GER
tainly be in favor of free silver, but as
an American and lover of my coun-
try, give me sound money, a dollar
that is worth a dollar everywhere on
EARTH"
This is the condition of things
which the manipulators at Chicago
would bring about could they have
their way-a convention which would
crush the wage Garner as surely as the
remorseless Juggernant. Free silver
is as pregnant with disaster to labor
as ever was free trade and can be of
no possible benefit even to the en-
ployer of labor, except that he walk
through ruin that in SO cases out of
every 100 would leave him stranded
beyond all possible hope of recovery.
