The strange contrast OF politics we're
vividly portrayed by Tuesdays pro-
ceedings in the Democratic National
Convention. The Philadelphia Ledger's
New York correspondent tells the story
in the following interesting manner:
-Four years ago, as now, Senator Hill
was an issue In the Convention, but
under what strangely different circum-
stances Then he was candidate for
President; to-day for temporary chair
man. Then, as now, he was supported
by the New York delegation, but in
1892 a powerful faction of the party
from this State, headed by William G.
Whitney, fought successfully against
him. He was defeated then as he was
to-day, but the men who then fought
against him worked for him to-day,
and among them was William @. Whit
ney. His defeat was then in a sense
humiliating, but his defeat to-day un-
doubtedly strengthens him with that
element OF the Democratic party which,
although now In minority, must ulti-
mately become again the controlling
force after the present silver craze has
spent its force. After the convention
of 1892 Senator Hill was mistrusted,
discredited politician. When be ran
for Governor two years later he was
defeated by $50, 900 majority. But his
defeat to-day, following his recent con-
duct in the United States Senate, re-
habiitates him in the general esteem
of the party in this State. In a meas
urs it makes hero of him, and he
will return home stronger than ever.
Although he will leave the Senate next
March, as the Legislature will un-
doubtedy elect Republican, yet out
OF office he will still be an interesting
and forccful factor in politics. In spite
of all the shortcomings in his record,
it is fact that Hill has for some
months past been winning golden opin-
ions from all sorts of people, including
many Of those who formerly hated and
mistrusted him. All Of which shows
what resourcefu politician he is. 1t
10 recalled as another contrast by the
two conventions that Senator Daniel,
who defeated Hill for temporary chair
man to-day, seconded Hills nomina-
tion for President four years ago.

Arree sliver rrlamph !, hlcaro.

The advocates OF free-silver coinage
gained a substantial triumph at the
opening session Of the Democatic Ma
tional Convention, in Chicago, Tues.
day. The initial test was made on the
election Of temporary chairman. In
stead Of adhering to the time -honored
custom of accepting without question
the selection OF the national committee
for this position. the, convention over
rode the committee's nominee by a con-
vincing majority
The choice of the national committee
for temporary chairman was Senator
David B. Hill Of New YORK. The sill.
verites nominated Senator John W.
Daniel Of Virginia, The vote was 500
for Daniel and $40 for Hill. Senator
Daniel made free silver coinage adj
dress upon taking the chair.
The vote shows clearly that the sill
verites have a solid working majority
in the convention. They will make
the platform, and there is now no
doubt that it will declare unequivocally
in favor Of the free coinage of silver,
at the ratio Of 16 to /. Iii one respect
at least, this Is communicable. The
financial issue will not be clouded, as
far as the declaration of the DEMO.
cratic National Convention is con-
cerned. 5
But the vote further shows that the
siverites lack the two.thirds majority
necessary for the nomination of candi-
dates, under the rule that has pre-
vailed in Democratic conventions for
more than half century. They may
abrogate this rule, and provide that a
majority vote shall be sufficient for a
nomination, but this is doubtful.
However, il makes little difference
who may be nominated, or how, after
the adoption of free silver coinage
platform. Defeat and disaster are
likely to be the fate of both candidate
aud platform, when they come to the
crucial test Of popular vote of the
country. -

SITS ON THE POPS.
Chairman Jones' Man in Georgia Not in
conciliatory Mood.

Atlanta, Ca, October pa resolu-
ton refusing the PopulIst proposition
for fusion in Georgia was offered by
none other than Chairman Jones' per-
sonaI representative, who favored It
yesterday, hut who today said that ne
had been under mlsapprehension as
TO what the Populists wanted. He said
he had no idea when he came down
here at the suggestion OF Chairman
Jones that the Populists wanted thir-
teen electors for Watson. He thought
that they would propose some fair di-
vision which would not totally ignore
the candidacy Of presidential Can
didate Sewall.
1t was quite evident that the COM
mittee regarded the proposition as pre-
posterous and that about the only thing
left for discussion was as TO the char
acter OF the reply to be sent TO the
Populists-whether It should be polite
and conciliatory. or plain and to the

bearishness OF early news. But the

A change in the speculative sentiment
at Liverpool was the main cause Of
the weakness which developed here. but
not the only reason. Liverpool advised
a continuance Of the demand for wheat
for India, and corn and oats were want
ed also for the same destination. The
market looked during the forenoon as
IL headed for a long bear turn. How
deceptive are the appearances put on by
the action Of the pit trading was ex-
ernpllfied during the latter half OF the
session. when from being very weak,
the market turned around and became
excessively strong. During the fore
noon it worked gradually down. untiI
after numerous vicissitudes and quick
reactions it struck 75S for an instant.
That was the turning point. and after
it had gradually worked it's way up
again to around 7s1lc. it performed one
OF those bullish feats Of legerdemain
which it has been practicing for the
last two months. New York reported q
sale Of 100000 bushels of wheat to Spain
and this appeared to open up new
field for the disposal OF American wheat
and naturally had strong effect In
an hours time an advance Of SIC took
place, the price Of December shooting

SWEET CHARMS OF MUSIC.
The Maginel-Mullin Concert Company
Scores a Decided Hit.

Scores a Decided Hit.
Three beautiful young ladies, two ac-
lcomplished gentlemen musicians, o
handsome young announcer, and ovel
five hundred people were the features
at Fishers last night The announcer
was none other than that indefatisablC
young mapager, Mr., W, w. Brackett-
an Irish comedian OF no mean ability.
I Critical as Astoria audiences are-and
managers avow We are the hardest peo-
pie in the world to please-the Maginel-
Mullin Company completely captivated
those assembled at Fishers. Society
was out in full force and the opera
house presented a very pertty appear
ance.
The Misses May and Katie Mullin are
probably two Of the best lady musicians
in the country. Apart from their Won
derful ability, both young ladies are Of
prepossessing appearance. Miss May,
the eldest of the two sisters. rendered
the first number. a piano solo. 1t was
executed in a mastery manner and
brought forth the plaudits of the audi
ence. Later the young lady rendered
two selections from Mendelssohn, which
were well received. Miss Mullin is also
an accomplished cornetist. and her solo
was excellent.
Miss Katie Mullin, charming young
lady who has met with warm recep-
tions all over the country. is a perfect
master of the cornet and saxophone,
and enjoys the distinction of being the
only lady master of the latter instru-
ment in the United States. A cornet
duet by Miss Katie and her sister was
marvellous for its clean cut execution.
Miss Katie's saxophone solo was one of
the most pleasing features of the even
ing.
Miss Gertie Lochman, of Portland,
who recently Joined the company. is
pretty little lady and the most talented
whistler who ever appeared in this city.
W ulslllHS Is one Ol lile IIiOSl uiluCull
of all accomplishments and Miss Loch-
mans rendition of the "Mocking Bird"
and "The Last Rose Of Summer" but
served to demonstrate her ability. She
was vociferously applauded and re-
sponded on each occasion.
Mons F. A. Maginel. the great saxo-
phone soloist. delighted the audience
with several selections, Southern recol-
lections being especially well rendered.
Count Kosminsky is truy great i'm
itator. His limitations of full orches-
ira and bagpipe were wonderfully
clever. This gentleman was forced to
respond several times and each time
rendered deceptive limitations.
Altogether the concert company is the
best which has ever appeared in Asto-
ria and richly deserved the crowded
house. Miss Lochman was presented
with beautiful bouquet by a local ad-
mirer.

That Political Advertisement.

A little more than two weeks ago the
Kansas Farmer Company, received from
its New York agent proposition TO run
political advertisement in two numbers
Of this paper. 1t was nothing except a
political argument set up in the form
Of display advertisement. 1t was we'll
known to those who desired to use the
circulation Of the Kansas Farmer for
the propagation Of their political doc
trines that this paper bars partisan
politics and that the only way to get in
would be on the side Of the business
management. But it happens in this
case that the editorial and the business
management are very intimate, indeed
that the editor Of the paper is Presi-
dent Of the company. The political
advertisement did not appear and our
treasury did not get the price offered.
The experience Of some Of our contem-
poraries is not so fortunate. They
took the "ad." They are hearing from
their subscribers, as is evidenced by the
lsbored explanations which appear in
the editorial columns. The Kansas
Farmer is satisfied to leave political
discussion to the able papers devoted
to politics on either side Of the question,
and hopes to be able to assist it's readers
to make good living and something
for q rainy day." whether Mckinley or
Bryan shall occupy the White House
and under whatever financial policy
shall prevail. But in doing this we
have enough to occupy our attention.
Further, it is the right Of the farmers Of
Kansas to have the best available con-
sideration Of the matters which belong
especially to their occupation and that
without having thrust before them
political theories distasteful to about
half OF the readers. .-KaRSas Farmer.

LYING ABOUT LEEDY.
Republican Press Of Kansas Engages In
DishOnOrable Warfare.

UABmOnOt8Dko W&rfA&o,
The Republican press in Kansas has
been publishing and making much politi-
cal capital Of an article emanating
from the headquarters here to the effect
that ]. W, Leedy, the fusion candidate
for Governor, was the only State Senator
who in 1895 voted against the bill making
the necessary appropriation for the
maintenance Of the Soldiers Orphans
Home at Atohison. D. M. Dunn Of
Minneapolis, Kas, wrote the Populist
State committee for a statement of the
facts in the case. The letter was
answered by Bob Semple, and in it he
says:
"The substitute for House bill No.
287, an act making appropriation for the
current expenses of the Soldiers'
Orphsns' Home for the fiscal years end
ing June 80, 1896, aud June 80, 1897, was

previous one referred to. The first was
for maintenance OF the Soldiers Oprhans'
Home, and the latter appropriation OF q
large sum Of money 100000 was for
the erection Of new buildings, and
Senator Leedy lsbored under the im-
preston that, considering the financial
condition Of the people, this matter
could be postponed. The appropriations
at this stage Of the proceedings ia the
Senate and House had been very large.

the appropriations for '95 over that Of
