Gen Grosvenor banked his ball
clear outside the string when he put
down Manley and Hanna as over
confident of the result in Maine. The
figures have since been received and
Grosvenor is ready to acknowledge
that Manley and Hanna knew the sit
uation better than he did, although
he had just concluded a stumping
tour in that state. The fact is. that
Hanna is all figures and statistics
and he does not enthuse worth a cent
unless he sees the reasons for it before
him in black and white.

Election that Hill is a good Democrat
and that all good Democrats will fall
into line with the Chicago movement.
He will have considerably puzzled the
roost by this statement. Where will
he place Bynum and Carlisle and
Morton and Lamont and Palmer and
Sheehan and Whitney and Cleveland
and. thousands of others of the old
guard who were battling for the De-
mocracy before William Bryan was
conscious of his political existence?
Jones can say more and mean less
than any other man who ever was
entrusted with the management of a
national campaign.

Spain is sick of the war with Cuba
and is making Overtures to the Cuban
Junta that concede more than all Gu
ba demanded at the outbreak of the
war. Spain will grant anything to
Cuba short of her absolute independ-
ence, but that is just what Cuba de-
mands and Spain will have to fight
it out. The attempt to settle the diff
tculty comes too late. Cuba cannot
suffer more in any event than she
has suffered now, and the insurgents
are in good condition to carry on the
struggle. They will fight it out to a
finish, with independence as their on
ly acceptance.

Ignatius Donnelly is of the opinion
that when Bryan is in the white
house the first thing that he should
do would be to hang half the opera
tors in Wall street. If those opera
tors remain unhung until Bryan is
elected they will have long lease of
their lives from hemp. This is of a
piece with Bryan's usual declarations
which are always hostile to the
men who live otherwise than by man
ual labor. Bryan and Debs and Ig-
natius and Altgeld are four of kind
to draw from.

CONGRESSIONAL MUD SINGING

There will be more music in the
congressional campaign when the
calcium is turned on the record of the
gentleman who is going through the
district singing mud at Judge Moo
nan, gravely questioning whether
Mr.. Noonan has ever read that plat
form on which he was elected and
declaring that it was free coinage
platform. Either Mr.. Slayden knows
what he affirms or he does not. If
he does not, then he is talking through
his hat. If he does, then he is per-
verting facts and stating what is not
true. That platform on which Judge
Noonan was elected two yeras ago
was printed on the same paper, same
sheet of paper, on which the letter of
acceptance was printed and sent to
the people. 1t is not a free coinage
document, and it's face shows that it
is not. When Mr.: Slayden is put in
his proper colors as the man who reg
ulates the prices of the cotton and
wool that the producers of his dis
trict raise, and has always been re-
garded as doing business in the buck
ct shop line, he may be sufficiently
employed between now and election
in defending his record to prevent his
singing mud at the congressional
representative from this district, who
is above the personalities of the or
binary stumper and would scOrn to
conduct a campaign on personalities.
Judge NOOnan stands on his record
as congressman. Is Mr.. Slayden
as ready to show that he has had no
dealings with those who gamble in
wool and cotton and make the sheep
men and the cotton growers take
what figures the gambling pool put
on their products? Mr.. Slayden will
say that he is not in the wool bust
ness. True, as to this year, but he
was dealing in wool and voting the
free trade Democratic ticket all those
years that the wool growers of West
ern Texas We're pushed to the wall,
and until these wool growers We're
skinned so closely that there was no
longer any profit in their product. If
there were millions of sheep left in
Texas there would be no doubt of
Slayden having n hand as of old in
| regulating the price of that wool with
the Liverpool gamblers for whom he
worked, and voting the free trade
ticket to destroy the industry of the
flock masters. This is not the man
that West Texas wants to represent
her wool and cotton growers in con
gress

Kansas is threatened with n spasm
of sense. The political doctors who
have been diagnosing her case are
of the opinion that the insanity that
found expression in the election of
Whiskers PETERS and Sockless Jerry
is subsiding, but as yet there is no

so thoroughly checked as to afford
hope of a recovery in full this No

The Popocrat committee would call
Sewall off if it was possible, for the
managers have no use for a candi-
date whose only effect in an election
is to prevent the vote against him
being unanimous. Tom Watson
says that he can poll more votes in
one bailiwick in Georgia than Sewall
can in all Maine. Tom sometimes
tells the truth, even if he does talk
a lot through his hat.

History seldom repudiates itself,
and the political lessons of the past
ought to be guideboards for days to
come. But Bryan does not see it so
nor does his party, for they think
that their only certainty of victory is
over the PROSTATE form of the only
man whom the Democrats have been
able to elect to the presidency in thir-
ty-six years. Bryan is too green.

BRYAN'S OWN CALCULATIONS.
The press bureau at National Dem
ocratic headquarters in Chicago has
issued its bulletin on which it claims
the electoral vote of the country for
Bryan and Sewall. These are the
! figures:
Alabama, 10000; Arkansas, $4,000;
California, $4,000; Colorado, 100000;
Delaware, 10000; Florida, $4,000;
Georgia, $4,000; Idaho, 10000; Illi-
nOis, $4,000; Indiana, $4,000; Iowa,
10000; Kansas, 10000; Kentucky,
A., 900; Louisiana, $4,000; Maryland,
$4,000; Michigan, 10000; Minnesota,
$4,000; Mississippi, 10000; Missouri,
10000; Montana, $4,000; Nebraska,
&c, 900; North Dakota, 10000; Oregon,
20. 1000; South Carolina, 10000; South
Dakota, 10000; Tennessee, 10000:
Texas, 175,000; Utah, 10000: Virgin
ia, 10000; Washington, $4,000; West
Virginia, 10000; Wisconsin, 10000:
Wyoming, 5000.
These estimates give Bryan thirty
six out of fOrty-five states with 234
electoral vote.
There is food for Republican fat
tening in these figures. The total
vote in the electoral college this pres
idential election is $50, making 226
necessary to Il choice. Bryan's fig
ures give him a total of 234 electoral
votes on their own showing, only
eight more than are necessary to
elect. In order to do this they put
the states of Ohio, Iowa, Indiana,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maryland, Cali
fornia, Michigan, Kansas, Nebraska,
Kentucky, in the Bryan column. The
electoral vote of each of these states
is sufficient to turn the scale, as they
all have eight or more electoral states.
Is there a man in the whole United
States, outside of a lunatic asylum,
that believes it possible for Bryan to
carry either Ohio, Iowa or MinnesO-
ia. Conceded that he can carry the
rest it is certain that he can carry
these. Conceded that he can carry
any one of them it would do him no
good. Granted that he could carry
any two of them he is shut out with
out the third. There is full food for
reflection among those who study the
returns and see the logic of figures, in
this claim. 1t demonstrates as moth
ing else in the world could the utter
of the Bryan campaign.
The chances are against Bryan in
any of these great states, and no bet
ting man will be found to place mon
~ on the proposition that Bryan will
carry a majority of the eleven states
above. There is no wind
in this. 1t is a plain matter of fig
ures, the figures themselves furnish
ed by the Bryan press bureau. There
is more encouragement in this state
ment than in any that the Republi-
cans themselves have yet put forth.
If this is the best that Bryan can
show now where will he be in No
yember?
So far, for the figures that are Civ
en- in the report. The actual vote Of
the states given above is, however,
324, total of 80 more than appears
in the Chicago report. Even this
will not affect the result, as the states
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa-will more that affect
the mistake in the report, and these
states are certain to fall into the Nc
Kinley column.

Bryan is honest for once and de-
clares that had the Chicago platform
declared for sound money he would
have bOlted it, He will be bolted
himself in November. BOlted and
bottled up for all time. There ought

and his incendiaries in November.

TSE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

Mckinley and Hobart" Is the ticket
nominated az -. Louis last week, and
which will wave on the Republican ban
ner this year. While Maine had can
didate OF whom she WAS proud in Thomas
q. Reed, William Mckinley Of Ohio is a
candidate acceptable 10 the Republicans
OF Maine, aud one who will receive the
united support Of the Republican psrty
81 the country.
To this last statement perhaps an ex-
ception should De made. When the
financial plank Of the platform was
adopted, large portion Of the delegates
who favored free silver. left the conven-
ton, and the party will undoubtedly
lose the support OF some who have here
tofore acted with il, as well a. the vote
of some OF the silver-prOducing states.
While that fact in itself NAV De deplored,
il was time for the Republican party 70
declare itself unequiyOcSlly upon the
money question. The Republican party
is the party Of sound money, and the
great majority Of the party have always
seen the futility OF this goyernmt IA,
alone attempting 10 maintain silver on a
parity with gold. The issue is now
eAAAINAN ulANu Nu INC RA4N ~ NAAN -
publican party. IL, as now seems prob
able. the Democratic national cOnven-
ton declares for free silver, there will
be not the slighteS; doubt as 70 the posi-
ton Of the parties. The detection OF the
silver men can affect the result but very
little.
As 10 the position Of the party on the
question OF the American system Of pro-
lection. there can be no doubt. The
Republican party i the party OF pro-
lection, and William Mckinley stands
before the people as the special repre-
sentative OF that policy. The people
have had SIT they want OF Democratic
tariff policy, and they are going 10 return
10 the prosperity-producing Republican
policy.
The platform adopted by the conyen-
tiOn is not made up Of meaningless plati-
tudes. bur Is direct, terse declaration
of principles, hardly eXcelled in the
history Of American politics. The CON-
plete platform. with sketches Of the can
didates, the Democrat will publish an
other week, that al may read, mark, and
inwardly digest.
