President Paul Kruger and 1 and the
various other branches of the Kruger
family, are descendants of the royal

uokE SMITH AND CLEVELAND.

The Hon. Hoke Smith IS in an odd posi-
ton. He has been guilty OF accepting
the doctrine laid down by Mr. Cleveland
four years ago In the Howell letter, ana
has compelled his newspaper. the Al
lanta Journal, to abide by the "arbitra-
ment'' of the national Democratic party.
Now. ought he TO be willing to stay
in the Presidents Cabinet, If the Presi-
dent doesn't wish him there? NO, IN
deed. But ought he to-presume that the
President Is unwilling to accept the ar
bltrament" OF our national convention!
We should think not; and yet the very
silence Of Cleveland shows be Is down
on the Chicago platform and nominees.
Furthermore, 1t is well-known that
movement has been set on foot by Cleve-
lands friends to put third ticket In the
field. and 1t is suspected that Cleveland
will be asked to head that ticket. Nor
would It surprise us much IL Cleveland
accepted the nomination, and for two
reasons: First, Cleveland no doubt under
stands now as well as the general public
does that his dog-in-the-manger policy
with reference to the third term nomi-
nation prevented the goldltes from put
ting up" such a fight against the silver
ties as they might have otherwise done.
And II he realizes his blunder In this
respect, what more natural than that he
should now wish to make such amends
as he Is able by leading the forlorn hope
OF the Chicago men? Second, by heading
such a ticket, Cleveland would earn the
gratitude of the New York moneyed men
to an extent that he has never earned
1t before. high in favor as he has been
there, and as New York is to be his
home after March 4, 1897, this might be
a very influential motive.
A rumor comes from the inner circles
OF the anti-Bryanites in New York that
"a strong card is to be played against
Bryan's election. What other card than
Cleveland can 1t be? 1t can't be Whit
ney; or II 1t is Whitney, those who call
1t "a strong card" overestimate Whit
ney's influence.
The strongest man that the New York.
ers could run would be Cleveland,
yet he Is less strong than he would have
been had he never written the Howell
letter in 1892, wherein he said 1t was the
duty OF all those Democrats who had
opposed his nomination to accept 1.-THE ar
bitrament OF the National Democratic
Convention"
Considering all these things, we think
the Hon. Hoke Smith cannot affect to be
ignorant Of the wishes and purposes Of
mis- chief. Nor do we imagine that he
will hesitate as to his duty. Doubtless,
his resignation OF the office OF Secretary
OF the Interior Is in the hands Of the
President already. and If so. 1t will re-
main for the President TO decide whether
II is incompatible with the position Of a
Democratic cabinet officer to accept the
"arbtrnment' OF national Democratic
convention.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-07-25

Mr.. Whitney's interview or statement Is
nothing but an appeal to the take-to-the-
woods people to rally TO save the country
from being carried by Bryan. His sug-
gestions are all in the direction of elect
ing Mckinley. 1t isn't Mckinley. but
Bryan, whom he wishes to defeat. By the
way. we observe In a dispatch from Chi
cago that General F1tzhugh Lee Is men
toned as a suitable candidate for the
vice-presidency on the boilers ticket.
General Lee ia doing his country great
good service In responsible semi-diplo-
matte position at Habana, and 1t would
be pity to distract his mind from pres
ent duties and vex 1t with boilers policies.
We hope that Whitney & Co. will leave
him out OF the programme.

Discussing the GoIdite Candidates.

Chicago Telegram in New York JournaL)
During the day there was considerable
discussion OF presidential candidates. Inc
ticket suggested by Comptroller Eckels-
namely, Senator Palmer, OF Illinois, Tor
President, and General Gordon, or Geor-
gia. for e-President-found many
supporters Another popular combination
was that OF General Bragg. OF Wisconsin,
for President, and General Fitzhugh Lee, OF
Virginia, for Vice-President. A. j. Car
roll. of Louisville. said that, while the
talk about Henry Watterson for first
place on the ticket was very gratifying
to Kentuckians. It could be stated upon
authority that Mr.. Watterson would not
accept the nomination. Lyttleton Cooke
OF Louisville. said his favorite ticket was
Cleveland and Carlisle. IF they are
nominated" said Mr.. Cooke, mo platform
will be necessary. Everybody knows
they stand for tariff reform and gold
money. / sincerely believe they would
be elected IL nominated"
Other names suggested for first place on
the ticket were those OF j. Sterling Nor
ton. OF Nebraska; w. ID. Bynum, of In
diana: Senator Villas. OF Wisconsin, and
John G.. Carlisle, of Kentucky The feel
ing was very decided that one OF the cam
didates must be a southern Democrat

II would seem that the New YORK
Times. which was one OF the first papers
TO bolt the Chicago nominees, Is daily
getting more and more suspicious OF the
Republican party. Republican appeals to
sound-money Democrats to vote for Nc
Kinley are, It says. now quite generally
sugared over with the admission that 'ne
currency. not the tariff. must be the CHIEF
issue OF the contest.
"sugared over" is good, and let south
ern Democrats. especially, stick pin
here, to the end that they beware OF the
Mckinley pill. Under the sugar coating
is the same old bitterness TOWARDS tne
South that has always been the CHIEF
ingredient of Republicanism.

THE NEW pARTY,s THEORIES.

In his speech on taking the chair to
preside over the Populists' convention. in
st. Louis. Mr.. 81. John laid down the
following proposition. He said:
at Is among the first principles or
finance that the value OF each dollar. ex-
pressed I'm prices. depends upon tho total
number OF dollars In circulation. The
plane of prices Is high when the number
of dollars In circulation is great, in pro-
portion 10 the number Of things to be ex-
changed by means of dollars. aud low
when the dollars are proportionateiy few"
If these financial theories are sound. 1t
will be easy to enrich everybody. Get
together a sufficient number of dollars
and the work is done. Mr.. st. John Will
not admit that irredeemable paper notes
are dollars.

Plan to Nominate Him.

New York Journal)
ST. LOUIS, July BIB. o. Flower, edi-
tor of Arena, made a statement here yes
terday TO the effect that 1t is the purpose
Of the gold Democrats TO nominate Grover
Cleveland IL the Populists name sepa-
rate ticket.
Mr.. Flower says he cannot divulge the
source Of his authority, but that 1t Is re-
liable.
Mr.. Flower is a delegate-at-large from
Massachusetts, to the Silver convention.
He came in company with w. p. st. john
the former president of the Mercantile
Bank, OF New York, who favors free
silver coinage. Regarding the alleged IN
tention OF the gold faction OF the Democ-
racy to nominate Cleveland, Mr.. Flower
is reported to have said
1.-THE actual facts that have come to my
knowledge, and which show beyond DOUBT
that the plan OF the money power Is to
force President Cleveland upon the people
again, am not at liberty TO disclose. MY
information comes from an unquestion-
able source, but it Is confidential.
Even without disclosing these facts.
the prediction Is logical Cleveland Will
undoubtedly be nominated as gold
Democrat IL the Populists place a third
ticket in the field. The gold Democrats
have faith in Cleveland, and as soon as
he is nominated will exert every effort to
secure his election"
