Perhaps these reports of discussions
among the Cuban leaders, which reach

thus rent and quarreling, are able to

many would they take care of if they
were wholly united?

The gold advocates of the democrat
ic press are pointing to their success
es in Maryland and Minnesota and
trying to prove that the silver portion
of their party will not be able to poll
the necessary two thirds majority at
the Chicago convention, and thereby
compel the nomination of candidate
favorable to their views. The most
sanguine, however, admit that only
hard fight can keep them from the
coveted thirds majority The
question then arises what do the sound
money men expect? Can they expect
that the silver men, claiming as they
do that they can control the conven
ton, will allow them to name the can
didates and make the platform? or
will they let them name the candi-
dates while they themselves make the
platform; thus bringing before the
country a ticket directly opposed To
the principles of the party which has
nominated them; or do they rely up
on a compromise and the selection of
ticket and platform which will be
satisfactory to both parties and mean
absolutely nothing? If the gold dem
ocrats are expecting any of these
things it seems as if they were to be
sadly disappointed. The convention
at Chicago will be its own master, and
a majority of the delegates will be the
convention. Any rule which is con-
trary to the will of this majority will
be promptly set aside by them.

der it's terms troops of the United

the same rights concerning Indian

Tt was just forty years ago last
Wednesday, June II, 1856, that the
first republican national convention
was held in Philadelphia. There have
been great changes in the political
map of the country, and in other re-
spects than the matter of issues since
then. When Fremont was nominal
ed there were only 81 states in the
Union and the electoral college con-
sisted of 296 votes; now there are IS
states, with AZ electoral votes. There
were 100000 voters in the United
States in 1856, while it is probable that
this. year there will be over 13, 1000, 600.
