Mr.. Bourke Cockran's Madison Square

verts to the gold standard. There is no
use to try to belittle the silver sent-
ment, and that is what Mr.. Cochran at
tempted to do when he said that the free
coinage movement was supported in the
west by professional farmers who labor
with their jaws" and in the south by
'unreconciled slave holders who would
like to pay no wages at all" Statements
like the foregoing may have tickled a

that the election will be a quiet one.

Reports reaching the New Orleans States
say that the drought has had terrible ef-
feet upon the crops in Northeast Louisi-
ana. In a dozen parishes there will be
practically no harvest at all. In one sec
ton a correspondent saw hundreds and
hundreds of acres of corn which will not
make one grain to the acre." and fields of
cotton that will not produce a pound.
There is no fruit, no vegetables, no sor-
ghum, no cane, no peas, no hay and no
meat in the section from Farmville to
DownviHe, and the people are upon the
point of making an appeal to the public.
1t would seem that the situation is about
as bad as was that of the Nebraska far
mers several years ago, when the people
of Georgia and other prosperous states
sent train loads of food to them. 1t is to
be hoped that conditions are not as bad
as first reports have said If they should
be found as bad the big hearted people of
the whole country would respond readily
to the appeal of the suffering.

Mckinley and Hobart.

Republicans of Maine are disappointed
that their own candidate Speaker Reed,
whom they believe to be the superior of
any of the candidates before the great
convention at st. Louis. and who was
more deserving of consideration for
brilliant and effective service rendered in
the interest of his party and for the
good of his country, than any other man
named for the high position of President,
was not successful, but they are loyal TO
the party, have proved their loyalty re.
peatedly, and there will be no lack of
enthusiasm in the support Maine will
give this year to the Republican nomi-
nees for President and Vice President.
Mckinley and Hobart.
William Mckinley of Ohio has long
been known to the people of this country
because of the public places he has so
long and SO ably filled, and his fame is
not confined to this country alone. He
Is best known as the champion of pro-
lection and the true friend of the bust
slness Interests of our great nation, and
as such will haye the enthusiastic sup
port of Republicans, excepting in the
few States where the silver craze has de-
moralized them.
The Republican nominee for Vice
President is not so well known as some
of the other candidates before the ST.
Louis convention for this position. The
State of New Jersey was for many years
in the Democratic column, otherwise he
would have been better known as L. 5.
Senator.
Carrot \. Hobart, nominated by the
Republican party for the Vice-Presi-
dency of the L nited States was born AT
Long Branch, n. j., in 1874. Admitted
to the bar in 1866 In 1872 elected a
member of the New Jersey House and
reelected and chosen speaker He de-
clined election in 1873. Ia 1877 he was
elected senator from Passaic county
Reelected to this position and served

president pro TEN of the body the last
two years of which he was a member
In 1874 he was nominated by the Re-
publican caucus for legislature for
United States senator but was not
elected as the legislature was Demo-
Tah
chosen. He is prominent in business
affairs.
The ticket is strong one and the
platform upon which it is placed, is built
of sound timber, such as any man who
has the good of the country at heart can
support by his voice and vote. Maine
will lead off in aid of this ticket and
platform in September, with one of its
old-time Republican maiorities, and fol

CA Monday quite sensational rumor
was afloat to the effect that Consul
General Lee had just sent an important
dispat,h from Cuba TO President Cleve-
land that vas likely to lead to war be-
tween the Two countries, Spain and the

was codtradicted Tuesday, at Washing

affairs on that unfortunate island
