SOMEWHAT r1IXED.
Minneapolis Journal;

Minneapolis Journal;
The table William Mckinley used when he
presided over the Republican convention In
Minneapolis in 1892, may yet be used in the con-
yention which is expected to nominate him for
president.
This table was made by the students of the
manual training department of the South Side
high school. This morning during the memoir
ial exercises at that school, w. *. Hicks re-
called that fact and alluded to the prediction
that Mckinley would be the nominee of
the Republican party in 1895. Mr.
Hicks suggested that in view of the fact that
this prediction was likely to come true, 1T
would be very appropriate to have the conven-
ton at st. Louis use the same table that Nc
Kinley used when he presided at the convention
which nominated Harrison. He proposed that
Tim Byrnes, the sergeant-at-arms of the con-
ton, be requested to have the table used by the
presiding officer.
Judge Ell Terrence, delegate at large to the
convention from Minnesota, happened to be
present. The idea struck him so favorably that
he declared his Willingness to take the table to
st. Louis with him and endeavor to have it
used.
The above sounds all very pretty
and reads very smoothly, but it lacks
the essential feature of accuracy.
In the first place, it would seem that
the Journal staff ought to know who
the delegates at large from Minnesota
are, and should also be posted on the
fact that Judge Ell Terrence is dis
trict delegate from the Fifth district.
The table proper, used by Major
Mckinley when he presided over the
Minneapolis convention, was of fine
Mahogany, richly carved, loaned for
the occasion by Bradstreet & Co., then
in business in Minneapolis. The
same table was loaned by the same
firm to the Women's Worlds Fair
Board of this state and occupied a
conspicuous place in their reception
room in the Minnesota State build
ing at the great exposition. This
self same table was purchased by
Mr.. III. f. Brown, of Minneapolis, at
the close of the fair, and occupies to-
day prominent place in the recep-
tion hall of his very pleasant home.
Numerous indentations are plainly
visible on the top of the table as liv-
ing evidences Of Major McKinley's
vigorous hammering for the restora-
tion of order at the time when a de-
termined move was made to force the
next Republican president to &C
cept nomination against his
will at that time, and the decay
of wood can alone rob this table
of it's rightful claim hearing evidences
of McKinley's muscular development.
And in memory of two great events
in the history of the Republican par
ty, and on behalf of the Minnesota
delegation to ST. Louis, the FREE
PRESS moves that the gavel used to
preside over the convention which
will nominate Major Mckinley in
1896, be donated to Mr. H. f. Brown,
and that it be made companion
piece of the table over which the lit
tie Napoleon so vigorously, manfully
and refused a president ial
nomination in 1892.

penury. A gate Of want, A gate OF disap.

Now, as I have already suggested, as
there are obstacles In all our paths, we will
be happier II we consent to have our life q

1t is not a struggle. Louis the Fourteenth
thought he had everything fixed just right
and flxed to stay, and 80 he had the great
clock at Bordeaux made. The hours Of that
clock were struck by figures in bronze rep
resenting the kings Of Europe. and at a GER
tain time OF day William the Third OF Eng
land and other kings were made to come out
and bow to Louis the Fourteenth. Bnt the
clock got out Of order one day and just the
opposite OF what was expected occurred, ss
the clock struck a certain hour Louis tine
Fourteenth was thrown to the feet OF WILL

brings many surprises and those go down

OF disaster most regal conditions tumble. In
all styles OF life there come disappointment

son arranged 1t SO. II 1t Is not poverty It is

In the Philadelphia Press of Sat
arday, August II, 1876, the silver
question was spoken of thus
- y - What term shall be used TO
characterize the action of Congress In
1873 upon the silver question? Was 1t
honest for our Representatives to change
the kind of payment of our bonds by
this decentralization of silver, making it
more difficult, and consequently more
costly to pay in but the one kind of bull
lionp Is it not clear that their legisla-
ton was made in the interests of the
b~ondhoIder at the cost of the taxpayer?
To the first question we answer
it was legalized robbery, as the Press
is we'll aware. The same answer
applies to the second question ; and
the Philadelphia Press is upholding
the bondholder at the cost of the
taxpayer in answer to the third
question.
