DOUBTLESS HAD THE REVIEW IN
r1iND.

The Louisville Courier-Jo,u7aal, dis
cussing the Democrats who stand by
the Chicago platform, says: "The
man who says he will vote for Bryan
and Sewall for no other reason than
because the majority of the Chicago
convention have nominated them is
not really a Democrat. He is moth
ing, so far as political conviction is
concerned, and he has nothing to
justify his claims to Democratic 10y
atty except that he follows the Demo-
cratic name, perverted though it may
be, to however undemocratic theories.
Either that, or he is politician who,
if he has any political convictions,
subordinates them to his desire to Sc.
cure political office"

and directors in others.
The Populists are against capital
and capitalists.
Sewall is reputed to be worth &c..
100000.
ThePopulists are against protection
and protectionists.
They propose to support for vice
president a member of the tariff
league and one of the strongest pro.
tectionists in all New England.
The Populists are opposed to
lobbyists.
Sewall devotes his winters in
Washington lobbying in the interest
of his corporations.
The Pops. are against railroads.
Sewall is connected with one of
the most grasping railroad companies
in New England.
The above facts show how consis-
tent the Pops. are. They would vote
for the devil if by so doing they could
defeat the Republican National
which they can't.

The Mapleton Enterprise is support
ing Hon. Alfred Davis for the legisla-
ture, and says that his candidacy is
being received with warm words of
appreciation by his old friends and
neighbors in Medo and other town
ships in that locality. Mr. Davis is
one of the most honorable, straight
forward and conscientious men in the
county, and the Republicans will
make no mistake in naming him one
of the three candidates to be selected.
Besides Mapleton has good reasons to
lay claims to recognition.

We defy any Populist or free silver

silver, or where and when the party
ever pronounced in favor of the free
coinage of silver except as it could be
brought about by an international
agreement.
The attitude of Mr.. Blaine is re-

that they be fair and honest with

THE QUESTION BEFORE DEMOC.
RACY.

The revolt in Democracy continues.
Already the list Of papers which bolt
the ticket and platform reach nearly
one hundred. This list is comprised
almost entirely of dailies located in
not only the largest cities of the coun-
try, but in the smaller ones through
out the east, south, north and middle
west. This list has been augmented
by thousands of leading men in the
party, and the revolt has spread to
the rank and file. Among the Ger
man American voters is this revolt
the most pronounced. In this vicin-
ity there has been thorough revolu-
'tion among them. AS class there
are two things which the Germans
can not endorse, and those are fiat
money and anarchy. And for this
reason they are turning against the
Chicago ticket and platform. Some
of them have announced their inten-
tiOn of voting direct for Mckinley and
Hobart as the best means of burying
the dangerous PopuliStic sentiment
against sound money, while many
Others do not &c as far as this they
declare they will not vote the Bryan
ticket.
There has not yet been time to hear
from the country press of Democracy,

about as general as among the papers
in the larger cities.

BYRON HUGHES, of Mankato, has
indicated his desire to receive the
Democratic nomination for congress
in the Second district. BY all means
the Democrats should let Byron have
it. Any man who is sufficiently eager
to seek the empty honor of such a
nomination should be gratified and
satisfied in his ambition. He is prob
ably as easy q mark as any man who
can be pitted against Congressman
McCleary.

Given the power in the hands
of the AltgeldS and Tillmans,
and it was inevitable that the
platform would be an attack
upon sound principles, a de-
NAL of established facts, and
an assault upon common hon
eSty and law and order, a dec
laration of war against Civili-
cation, and that the candidate
would be worthy Of the plat
form. -HarperS Weekly, Ind Den.)

THE DRIFT OF DErlOCRACY.

Ex-United States senator James w.
Bradbury, of Augusta, Me-, one of the
Oldest Democrats in the country says:
81 regret to see ticket nominated
upon platform that, in it's vital is
sue, is so decidedly in conflict with
the principles and practice of the
Democratic party. l cannot vote
for it.
Nv
M. V. H. Chase, James E. Fuller
and City Solicitor John M. Goodwin,
prominent Democratic politicians of
Augusta, Maine, also announce that
they repudiate the ticket and will
vote for Mckinley.

EX-Congressman Bynum,of Indiana,
whose Democracy is unQuestioned,
says he cannot support the undemo-
cratic doctrine proclaimed at Chicago,
and will bolt.
~
There is no better known Demo
Crat in the country than Abram
S. Hewitt, of New York. Of the
situation he says: "The men who
were in control at Chicago are de-
structors. They have destroyed the
Democratic party. Now they would
destroy the country. l know Nc
Kinley. l served with him in con-
gress. He is an honorable man. The
idea of nominating third candidate
is mOnstrous. Questions of party
fealty and sentimental notions about
voting for Democratic candidate,
even though the vote is thrown away,
must be set aside"
~
De Lancy Nicoll, eX-district attor-
ney in New York is another. He says:
81 feel safe in prophesying that New
York will go Republican this fall by
100000, and other eastern states will
will give correspondingly great ma
jorities for Mckinley"
~
These are but few leading names.
The list could be greatly heightened.

Hon. D. W. Lawler, a delegate-at-
large from Minnesota to the Chicago
convention, when asked what he
thought of the presidential outlook
said: sit is my opinion that next
November will witness for the free
silver ticket as disastrous a slump as
that encountered by Horace Greeley
and Winfield Scott Hancock" Mr..
Lawler has called a meeting of the
leading sound money Democrats of
the state to determine whether they
will nominate an independent sound
money ticket, support Mckinley or
abstain from voting at all.

John p Irish, of Oakland, CAL,
formerly of Iowa, and at one time
member of the legislature of that
state, and later editor of the San
Francisco Alto California, prominent
Democrat, and now naval officer at
the port of San Francisco, and who
was delegate to the Chicago conven-
tion, has repudiated the ticket and
platform. Of the platform he says:
"The platform at every point antag-
onizes every principle held by Democ-
racy since 1901. 1t is league with
larceny and a covenant with murder.
L will not support the platform nor
the candidate, because l am Demo-
craft, not dynamiter. California will
give $4,000 majority against platform
and candidate"

bergs that break off as the waters rush

from the frozen northwest passage,
which foolish navigators are always

south with slow momentum and gets
about as far south as Greenland. Here
it lodges, getting wedged in the narrow
passages and getting an extra freezing

of these days the end breaks off, and
down it sweeps to form the dreaded
berg of the Atlantic.
The worst o. all ice5crgs are those

The biggest iceberg seen thus far CHS
spring was one that was measured by
ships eve TO be ten miles long and
twenty miles wide. II was a beautiful
thing, and lay ahead far enough for
safety. yet it could be easily seen with
the naked eye Pass myers took 70 their
steamer chairs 10 watch it. and the
camera fiends on board levelleG their
instruments at it. On one side nearest
the ship there was a great cavern, with
a roof and carved sides, into which the
light flashed. 1t looked like 4 fairy
palace. Above it were smaller palaces.
and at one side there was a roadway
leading up and over the frozen surface.
When it fioated to the southwark It was
lost to sight, and all heayed a sigh Of
regret.
The sailors OF a ship that came in not
long ago told OF being summoned b. the

watch an odd sight ahead. There were
three great bergs, and in the midst OF
them was a sailing vessel. As she came
on the bergs parted and the vessel
passed through as if by path, though

These ocean ghosts have been from
