The strangest feature of the campaign
is the persistence with which Major Nc
Pcpulistic tariff law which bore his name
was an adequate revenue-producing law.
The official records of the government
show that. during the fiscal year 1888
when the Mckinley law was in force
from beginning to end, the deficit was
S72,C90,0C0. while for the year 1896, under
the present tariff law, the industrial and
commercial conditions being very much
the same, the deficit was only $2S, 100000
in round numbers. If Major Mckinley
would reflect that the average voter in
this year of grace can read. write and
cipher, ne would not so persistently in
suit their intelligence by statements that
are palpably false and inexcusably mis-
leading.-Kansas City Star.

to the Associated Press after receiving
numerous kilograms from his silver
colleagues regardinga conference which
will probably be held at Denver:
What do you think of Mr.. Bryan's
nomination."
7 consider the nomination an ex-
ceptionally strong one" said the sena-
tor, Bryan is an able man of high
character, a strong friend of silver and
close to the people. He will make an
president"
DO you think he can secure the sup
port of the silver men who left the St.
Louis cOnventiOn?''
1.-The men who left the St. Louis con-
ventiOn," replied Mr.. Teller, will make
the silver question paramount to all
other. 1t is not a question of politics
with them, but of principle. 1 am not
at liberty to speak for them at this
time as I have received Several tele-
grams concerning conference to be
held within a day or two and asking
me to withhold any expression of their
views until after such conference
I believe you have said, Senator
Teller, that if a silver man was nomi-
mated at Chicago all the friends of sill
yer should act together in his support?"
Yes replied the senator I said We
must, for this campaign at least, over
look all minor differences and put the
country on a sound financial system
that recognizes gold and silver as the
money of the constitution. To that end
all the energies of the silver men
should be bent. am still of that
opinion and hope to see that done and
if it is, I feel confident of success

WANTS A GOLD TICKET.
The star-Eyed Goddess of Reform
Doesn't Suit the Courier Journal
Now

Louisville, KY, July lin an edi-
torial today which concludes with an
appeal for the nomination of another
Democratic ticket, the Courier-Journal
says: The league of free silver men
which went to work several months ago
to capture the organization of the Dem
ocratic party have accomplished their
purpose. They have put forth, in the
Democratic name, a platform which
violates almost every cardinal Dem
ocratic principle, and have nominated
as the Democratic leader a young hot
head, who but recently abandoned the
Democratic FOR the Populistic party
Such foolhardy and bastard leadership
and such a. radical revolution of the
very life principles of Democracy will
be downed by those Democrats whose
subserviency to party form is not die
tated by their desire to share in the
official spoils of party success and
whose fealty to party organization
means fidelity to views of advancement
of which party is only the instrument
The erica1-Republican says:
The national Democratic convention at
Chicago yesterday nominated Mr.. Bryan
of Nebraska because he has a loud
voice, a fine presence and made a speech
that could be heard and that accorded
with the sentiments of the delegates
Mr.. Bryan got a seat In the convention
by virtue of the vote reversing the ac-
ton of his state convention and of the
national committee of his party. He
is the most inexperienced and untried
man ever nominated for the presidency
by one of the great national parties.

Canton, July 11.-NationaI Chairman

and were met at the station by Gov
ernOr McKinley's carriage.

Canton. This was all the more notice.

BRE1DENrHAL ON BRYAN.
Thinks the Nominee Comes Very
Near to Pleasing the PopuIists.

Chairman John w. Breidenthal of the
POpulist state central committee said:
Il think that the nomination is the best
that could have possibly been made. I
did not hope for a selection of a man
that would be so acceptab BILE to the west
generally. His age is decidedly in his
favor from Populist standpoint. He
is young, aggressive, liberal, broad
minded and will naturally grow in IA
VOr of the reforms the people desire. I
think that if any man could secure
Populist endorsement Bryan can and
then their platform will assist meter
tally in bringing about a union of for
ces. So far as it goes it is in line with
POpulist principles
Railroad Commissioner ]. G. Lowe
who is a StraightOut Democrat said:
1.-The general features of the platform
are perfectly satisfactory. The declar-
alton regarding the money question is
just what the people want. One plank
in the platform that deserves special
mention is, that in favor of extending
the power of the interstate commerce
commission. The Democratic party
could not have said anything else about
the tariff and remain Democratic. The
platform will be satisfactory to the
people of the west. As far as the nom
inee of the convention is concerned he
would have been my personal choice if
had known he was a candidate. His
doctrine is a complete exemplificatiOn
of tariff, finance and the income tax.
Anyone could carry Missouri but Mr..
Bryan will carry Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois and the Dakotas I be-
HeVe the nomination is the strongest
that could have been made
Congressman Charles Curtis said ::
THE nomination is a good one for the
Democrats. Mr.. Bryan is strong man
personally but he will be defeated just
the same. No one can beat Mckinley.
I think that the POpulsts are more apt
to unite on Mr.. Bryan than they would
be on anyone else but no matter what
is done, he cannot be elected
A. w. Smith. the well known Nc
Pherson Republican said: 4 regard
the nomination of Mr.. Bryan as the
weakest that could have been made.
He is not nearly SO strong as Bland
would have been. He has little ex-
perience and is little more than a boy.
He cannot carry Kansas

BLAND IS PLEASED.
He is Actually Relieved That He Has
Not Been Nominated.

Lebanon, Mo, July 11-Within five
minutes after the bulletin announcing
Bryan's nomination at Chicago was
posted, Hon. r. P. Bland was receiving
coincidence from his many friends with
a. smile on his face that betokened gen
uine relief rather than disappointment.
In conversation with an Associated
Press representative he strongly in
dorsed Mr.. Bryan, both as q states
man and silver man, and declared his
entire satisfaction with the result of
the conventions work.
He knows nothing as yet concerning
the influences that contributed to his
defeat, nor does he appear to care He
is for Bryan as the nominee of his par
ty and on the grounds of personal
friendship. His friends here are sore
" disappointed.
Mr.. Bland himself said:
THE nominee of the convention is a
very able and worthy man He is
fully informed on the silver question
and his whole heart and soul are in
the cause. All OF his synpathies are
with the people. If he is elected he
will carry out the platform, and I have
10 doubt that he win sweep the
country in November.
Il want to say that I heartily in
dorse the platform and the candidate.
Whatever I can do to secure the cleo
tion of Mr.. Bryan viii be done when the
time comes. I will go on the stump and
viii assist otherwise

Silver Men and POpulists to En-
dOrse Bryan,
50 Says Alex. DeImar Of New
York State,
WHO is CHAIRMAN
Of the Silver Party Of That
State.
Senators Stewart Jones and
Others to Support Bryan.

Chicago, July 1.-THE leaders of the
silver party and the Populist party,
who are in Chicago, declare that their
organizations will indOrse the nomina-
ton of Bryan at the convention to be
held in St. Louis on July e. Many of
the prominent men of these parties
have been here during the convention
watching the proceedings and in an un-
official way working for silver
Among them are Senators Jones and
Stewart of Nevada, Congressman
NeWIands of that state and many less
er lights An excellent understanding
exists between the two organizations,
and their conventions were appointed
for the same day in St. Louis with the
end in view that they might unite up
on a candidate or if the Democratic
organization should nominate man
satisfactory to them, that they might
indOrse the nomination So far as the
men now in Chicago are concerned, the
latter action is a settled fact. The ma
tiOnal silver party was organized ABOUT
a year ago to give a political place to
men who had left the existing parties
because neither of the two great ones
were committed to free silver
In quiet way it has been forming
an organization in all the states which
it's leaders expects will prove a strong
ally for the Democratic party IN the
campaign, if it does not become merg-
ed into that organization.
Alex. DeImar, the New YORK state
chairman of the silver party, and q
delegate to the St. Louis convention,
said:
7 have consulted with the principal
members of the silver party and all of
them are very much delighted with the
nomination of Bryan and are strongly
of the opinion that we should indorse
him. He is one of the few men we
might have selected ourselves for our
candidate had we been one of the great
national parties. 1 am sure that the
Populists will indorse the nomination
also.
There is not the slightest possibility
that the silver forces will divide in
this campaign, and for the gold men to
attempt to stir discOrd among us by
their peculiar methods, will be waste
of time and money"
Senator Jones of Nevada said:
The question is above personalities.
The people who favor the free coinage
of silver do not care much how the
name of the candidate of the party is
spelled that advocates their principle.
I have talked with many POpulists and
independent silver men and they all be-
lieve we should indorse Bryan"

POLITICS rs RESPONSIBLE.
R. G. Dun & Co Says the Business
Uncertainty Natural.

New York, July 11-R G. Dun & Co s
weekly review of trade which issues to-
day says: with political convention
in progress directly antagonizing posi-
ton taken on money question by con-
vention of June, it is natural that there
has been an uncertainty about the fu-
ture to intensity dullness expected at
this season.
The wheat market advanced little
while other speculative markets were
stagnant or slightly declined but it's
small advances was mainly due to for
eign crop reports.
There are many who believe that de-
crease in yield this year has been IN

gathered by Dun's review last week
tends to support that view, though
practically all returns from what are
now chief wheat growing states were
cheering.
Less favorable accounts appear this
week from Minnesota and Dakota it
was on both sides to remember that
in spring wheat states which have this
year to make up for some loss else

PoPU11srs ARE GLAD
But the Silver Republicans Want a
Conference First.

Chicago, July 1.-THE sentiment Of
the Populist leaders here is Favorable
to the indorsing of Bryan. The nu-
Inerous Republican boilers from the St
Louis convention who came here hop
ing to nominate Teller are greatly cha
grined at the result They have tele-
graphed to Teller not to take a definite
stand until they can confer with him,
and Senator Dubois and others will
start for Denver today. They say the
Bryan wave carried the convention off
it's feet and that his free trade views
indorse him
Bryan delivered a stirring speech
from the balcony of his hotel last even
ing, covering his views on the financial
and labor questions. He was besieged
by such a crowd that a large detail of
police were required to hold them in
check
