THE OUTDOORS IN MINNEsorA.

The G 10 be, which has covered the
political situation in this state more
thoroughly than has ever been done
before, publishes this morning table
of estimates by counties, giving the net
results of the most careful observations
of special correspondents and reports
of local leaders and committees. The
ground has been gone over several
times, conflicting predictions have been
harmonized or averaged, and the esti-
mate which appears as the result in
this mornings G o e is the measure
of the situation at the present moment.
1t indicates that Mckinley will carry
Minnesota by al but 10000, and that
the governorship is very close. with
the odds in favor of Lind by four or
five thousand votes.
There still remains, of course, large
margin of uncertainty, and there are
influences at work which may revolu-
tionize this showing by the time that
the ballots are counted. All that we
assert is that if the election were to
occur today, Mckinley would have
majority not far from 20 900 and Lind
would be elected governor. But there
is an immense silent vote" This is
the puzzle of all the political manag-
ers, and all of them comment upon it as
the salient feature of the campaign.
At least 25 per cent of the voters in
most Of the counties have not given
and refuse to give any indication of
their preference. Many of them pro-
fess not to have made up their minds
as yet. All of them fight shy of the
canvasser, and all are doing lot Of
thinking. The registration figures
show that they are going to vote; but
in which direction they will move no
human being either knows or is able
to predict. 1t is obvious that if this
vote should be pumped with any de-
gree of unanimity for either candidate,
it would upset all calculations. For the
total vote bids fair to be 1926, 900 or over
and the undeclared fraction of it is
enough to elect either man by a huge
majority. The natural assumption is
that this will be divided essentially in
the same proportion as that which has
been tabulated. The outlook as pre-
sented in the interesting summary pub
lished this morning will be full of in
terest to our readers.

No SUCH PLANK.

To the Editor of the Globe.
l. Is there an amendment to the Chf-
cago platform by Senator HILL Of New York,
as follows: THAT any change in the none
tary standard shall not affect contracts exist
ing prior to the change" or words to that
effect?
regard to contracts made before the change
if Bryan is elected, be decided by the courts?
M. ]. Furlong.
Fisher, Mimi, Oct 15 1896.
l. There is no such plank in the
Chicago platform as officially adopted.
The amendment referred to by our
correspondent was offered by Senator
Hill, and it was for some time sup
posed that it had been regularly adopt
ed, and was a part of the platform.
At a meeting Of the National Demo-
cratic committee, however, since the
convention, the question came up, and
it was decided officially that this plank
does not belong in the platform, and
a resolution was passed ordering the
platform to be printed without it.
3 In the exceedingl improbable event
of Mr.. Bryans election, great num-
Der of questions would have to be de-
cided by the courts. Indeed, the scheme
of the silver people contemplates not
only the election of president and
the revolution of our monetary sys-
tenn, but corresponding revolution of
the judiciary, which will prevent their
precious project from being interfered
with. The sanctity of contract
made voluntarily and without fraud on
either side is first principle
in the minds of honorable men.
Altgeld and Tillman, however, made
no secret of their plan, which is to
secure the free coinage of silver, to
support it by legal tender acts, to is
sue unknown quantities of legal ten
der paper, to forbid the making of gold
contracts, and, unquestionably, to de-
clare invalid any such contracts that
have been made in the past. Whether
the courts would sustain them or not
is an open question, in view. Of the
plain threat contained in the Chicago
platform, to reconstitute the supreme
court in such manner that it would
decide whatever the administration
wished it to. This is only one item of
the general revolutionary overturning
that would take place il the silver party

forty-nlne Republicans who were in the

Five fusionists are also trying to be re-

holds over two years more. Senator

senator is to be chosen in his place.
Thomas r. Foley, of Aitkin is the
Democratic candidate for the seat, and
is said to have a very good chance of
success In the Sixth district, now rep
resented by Frank A. Day, there is a
queer state. of things. H H Dunn,
Martin county Republican, has had his
name placed en- the regular ballot by
petition, on the ground that Day can
not remain state senator and at the
same time run for congress. In the
meantime, it is claimed that the at
torney general has rendered no opinion
on the matter, and the complication will
have to be Strengthened out by the SEN
ate itself next January. The Democrats
ana Populists illaye fused in nearly
every district in the state, and will, of
course, have much larger representa-

THE DELuGE OF GOLD.

WHen tHdt crime was Delng per-
petrated in 1873, and the final act in
the great tragedy was being completed
in the senate on the passage of the
"demonetiZation" bill, after two years
of consideration in the house and SEN
ate, Senator Casserly, of California,
coming from region where the money
metals were found, could find no more
serious objection to the bill than that
it omitted the eagle from the minor
coins On this he expended his elo-
quenee in protest, but on the proposed
omission of the silver dollar he was
silent. His remarks lead one to believe
apprehended a deluge of silver. He
wanted the charge fee of coming gold
removed SO as to attract to our mints
the gold of Australia. "Why?" he
asked. Because what they want in
England all the while is silver for
their Asiatic exchanges with India
and China We have more silver than
we want. Nevada appears to be get
llIiS fSduy 10 ueluSe tHc Woiiu with
silver 1 see that her product was
probably over s2O,oOo,Ooo last year"
Now conditions have changed, and
it is for a deluge of gold that we must
prepare ourselves. DR.. George F.
Becker, connected with the United
States geological survey, has just re-
turned from the Transvaal gold region,
whittier he went as the representative
of a syndicate for the purpose of ex-
amining the gold fields and ascertain
ing their extent and capacity. He
says that the official reports to the
British government of the amount Of
gold there were not at all exaggerated,
and that that region contains the most
stupendous gold deposits in the world.
.Within fifteen miles of Johannes
burg. on the main reef there is an
estimated to be worth $500, 100000, or
nearly as much as the present entire
volume of gold coin in the world 1t
is practically in sight" because the
in coal mines in the shafts that have
been sunk 1900 feet, and the drillings
that have gone much deeper. This is
the case for the thirty miles Of the
reef that have been opened or exam
ined
But the limit is not reached. In fact,
it's skirts have just been touched. DR..
Becker says he was assured by an
American engineer, who has been in
the Transvaal several years, that the
gold deposit extends over a range of
twelve hundred miles, in portions of
which the>gold- bearing ground is over
laid with coal formations, a circum-
stance that will not prevent economical
mining, but will merely delay getting
at the gold. The formation is peculiar,
differing from that in which gold is
found in this country. It is in a meta
morphosed pudding-stone called by the;
Beers ''almond-cake, consisting OF
pebbles or quartz in a sandy matrix
If the statements of DR.. Becker are
accurate. and the immense increase of
the output of gold in the Witwaters-
rand sustains him, we may expect very
soon to hear something, vaguely, of
course-for the money power always
acts secretly-of movement to de-
monetize gold, and thus cut off the re-
naming half of the worlds primary
money" But before they can get in

an aroused and alert public sentiment
to take care that the plotters do not
again "smuggle" through gold de-
monetization measure.
