DAVID B. HILL, the choice of the
national Democratic committee for
chairman Of the Chicago convention,
was turned down when his namesWas
presented by vote Of $50 to $40 and
Senator Daniel chosen. The vote
showed plainly that silver controlled
the convention and its advocates were
not backward in attempting to mould
things to fit their program. This does
not add TO the harmony which is sup
posed to permeate the party on such oc-1
icasions and it is difficult to ascertain
whether the n ew Y ork chieftain feels
as he did four years ago when he: an

@ Poor, old, Democratic Globe! The
Chicago convention seems to be too
much for its nerves and it's mental bal
ance is threatened. In an editorial YES

things moved along, how harmonic
and without disorder, how little
thing like throwing down David Ben
nett Hill was not even to be noticed.
When it came to commenting on. Chair
man Daniels speech, however, it tip
ped off its perch and accused the soma
tor and his followers Of possessing an
abundance and variety of misinforma-
ton that was appalling. Yes, there is
harmony in Chicago but it to be found
only in the ranks of the different,fac-
tions-it is not party wide.

GAINED FRIENDS.

Gov. Clough's campaign was carried
on honorably and clean all the way
through, and it is a notable fact that
he has gained many friends and no
enemies by his conduct, and all we
hope is that his next administration
will be as honorable and patriotic as
the present one, which we dare say
will be in every particular. The fight
in Stevens county was exceedingly
warm at times, but the Clough forces
were manly, threw no mud, and turned
a deaf ear to all scurrillous rumors
started by the opponents and marched
on to victory. Now give three cheers
for Gov. Clough - Norris Tribune.

is very little comfort for fusionists who
count upon the aid of Republican sill

OF the Republicans who have declared
for free silver very few are to be found
who would countenance the election of
a Populist State ticket or mixed leg
