Now that the last turn has been given
to that crank convention at ST. Louis,
ii will be well for sober citizens to re-
fleet little upon the situation if they
have not already done so. Those Wis
ionaries so uneasy under any form of
restraint that every rule of parliament
tary procedure was violated by them
and so suspicious of everyone that they
dare not trust each other at any stage
of the proceedings, that body, if such
a disintegrated mass could be called a
body. found not the slightest fault
with Candidate Bryan. He was a man
after their own heart and Gen Weaver
only told the undoubted truth when
he said that Populists need not hest
tate to support Bryan as the latter sup
ports Populistic principles and will
abide by the platform of that party
We cannot avoid the conclusion that the
man that suited that Populist conven-
ton to IT, is not the man the other
people in the country want for Presi-

PRESS COMMENTS.
Mr.. Whitney Speaks Again.


IL Mr.. Whitneys last proclamation was
intended to enunCiate the fact that a
division of the sound money Democratic
vote will increase the chances of Bryan $
election. the document may serve some
useful purpose.
IT may have some effect upon the sngu-
lar minds which are reasoning that the
way to conquer is to divide.
Otherwise Mr. Nhtneys latest utter
ance is about as iniudiciously conceived
as anything that has emanated from the
same gentleman since he took hand in
contcmpordneous politics.
This is no time for the exhibition of
petty partisan righteousness toward our
allies in the fight.
The way is open to Mr. Whitney and to
all other friends Of honest money to make
their votes count two apiece for the cause
for which they profess soliCitude.
If they regard the cause rs above par
tisanship-and Mr. Whitney says he does
let them quit snarlingat the Republicans
for alleged deficiencies of conduct and
vote like men OF courage for the only can
didate whose election will prevent the
free coinage of silver and all its drefu
consequences.
Whatever AIR. Whitney says that tends
TO discourage Democrats from doing that
same thing is an injury and not Il service
~ the cause of honest money.

BADLY MIXED.
The Situation Clear.

With a free silver man nominated as the
candidate for governor the Democratic
campaign in this State at once becomes
inseparable from the free silver crusade
in the country at large. Those who were
diSputing this statement simply on the
ground that Maine Democrats were to
vote for a sound money man in the per
son of Mr. Winslow. have had that last
prop. weak as il was because every
thoughtful man knows that the Demo-
cratic vote in this State is bound TO figure
in the general result as vote for Bryan
and Sewall knocked from under them.
Without any candidate in sympathy
with his views certainly no sound bust
ness Democrat is under the slightest
party obligation to place his vote where
he knows ii will count against the very
principles necessary to the safety of the
country.

Omaha, July 25.-The empire west of
the Mississippi is on the eve of BOOM
The preparations for the TRANSMITS
issippi and International exposition are
already attracting attention to the agri-
cultural and mineral wealth waiting to
be claimed by enterprise. Western
states and territories are giving pledges
of hearty support. and from the east
come many inquiries. Eastern people
are Weakening to the enterprise of a sec
ton that can undertake SO ambitious
display, and are seeking information
about its resources. There is increas-
ing evidence from day to day that the
tide of immigration and investment is
being turned in this direction by the
great exposition, and there is reason
to predict this stimulus will continue
to increase as progress is made
The above is a dispatch to the Chica-
go Times Herald describing the glow
ing success that is sure to await the ex-
position that Omaha is determined to
hold regardless of dull times and has
made the utmost efforts to get. There
is the real western flavor about it all
the courage that never quails the SAN
guine hope that is never cast down by
reverses, in short. the spirit that makes
the best of everything. With this in
boom! BY means of it how the West
has grown how investors have poured
their capital into her lap, how people
with hard earned savings have neg
lected home opportunities for invest
ment and literally crowded each other
i'm their eagerness to get western loans.
Then how everything prospered so long
as the resources of the country were
equal to the resources of the boomer anG
how fat they fell when the booming
was overdone!
But let's see; Omaha is in the state
who, when it was shown that the Chi
cago platform in it's attempt to destroy
the right of contract and in it's demand
for free silver would work greatly to
the injury of creditors, replied: But if

ting those who have loaned money be

can find authority for not protecting
the debtors when the act of 1873 was
passed, but now insists that we must
said to have secured Bryan the nomina-
ton as presidential candidate and he is
expected by his party to carry the state
of Nebraska. 1t will be noticed that
in Mr. Bryan's reply to the charge that
the Chicago platform is intended to de-
fraud the creditor, he does not attempt
to deny it. only attempts to excuse ii
with the fallacious reasoning of a shy
ster-that two wrongs make one right

a pretext for looting creditors. He also
