Poor old democrats! They are in
devil of pickle. After stealing the
populiStic thunder. they are now down
on their knees asking that the silver
and populist party, which convenes in
st. Louis on the 2.d, to congratulate
them on their clever steal by falling in
line for Wm. ]. bryan, their candidate
for president, and thus show to the
country that all silver forces are one
and the same. So very anxious are the
democrats to have their common enemy
worship them that they are charged
with having agents throughout the
country meeting populist conventions in
various states and by persuasion, one
way or another, have them endorse
Bryan and send instructed delegates to
st. Louis to fight, die and bleed for
VIM. j. Bryan. The more sensible pop.
ulists spurn the the idea, but to the
utter shame and disgrace of the party,
we see populists throughout the country
obeviug the command, and like lambs
are being led to the pen to be slaugh-
tered. 1t would be far better for the
populistS II they never elected presi-
dent for them to stand mp like men
and assert their independence. But

The Most unpopulsr Man In His Owu
farty.
There Is at least one man who must
have drawn a deep breath Of relief when
the last state dsmocratic convention In
this ungrncioun year OF 1896 adjourned
sine die. Never was president so low
in the esteem Of bis own party as Grover
Cleveland. Three times chosen stand
ard-bearer of the party, twice elected
the conventions Of his party that have
shown him any respect, however scant
and cold, have been the exception. New
York did indorse his administration
but 1t Is well known that Hill and Whit
ney, who ran the convention, are per-
sonally unfriendly. In Ohio, a state he
has honored with cabinet position ms
name was hissed. The speaker who com
pared him to Judas Iscariot did, it IN
true, go a little = far to suit the con
sentisn, but the disagreement was only
in degree, not In kind.
The secret Of Gov. Altgeld's hold on
the democracy of Illinois is largely due
TO the unsparing vehemence OF his hos
tility to President Cleveland. 1t 10
probable that he will let fly poison

They Have the Reins.

The populists and democrats have
tho Legislature, the governor and the
attorney general. The Legislative
machinery is all in their hands and
they will therefore be responsible for
every act and every omission. If the
republican Legislature had dope it's
duty two years ago the state would
have been republican to day. Unless
the populists that have been elected
are the exception to the rule they
may be depended upon to disgust
the people and put the state back in
republican hands two years hence.
If they seat the Legislative contest
ants, that step alone will show the
people that they cannot be trusted to
be either honorable or decent.

The News understands the friends
of Governor Sheldon will present his
name for the consideration of the re-
publican senatorial caucus this win
ter. If they do his claims should be
given the consideration they deserve.
The Governor has been a republican
every day of his life, and nothing
but a republican. The party has al
ways been good enough for him. He
has catered after no side issues, but
for years has p~ersistently battled for
the success of those principles which
found expression at the national con-
vention last June. He has never
trained with the enemies of republic
anism for a single moment, upon
an y pretext whatever, and has never
thought of casting an anchor to
windward' by making friends in any
other camp, no matter what personal
allurements were held forth. The
Governor is a republican first, last
and all the time. Whatever honors
the party has to bestow should be
given to some man of that kidney.
