It is undoubtedly true that there IS
great deal Of republican opposition to Gov.
Mckinley. This opposition is in all parts
of the country, but particularly in the
east. Fear is expressed that he is not suf-
hclently sound on the money question.
This fear showed itself as soon
as it became apparent that he
would likely be nominated. and
it has increased rather than dimin-
ished. It is the basis of much of the talk
that continually crops out. of efforts to
defeat his nomination, Notwithstanding
the fact that a majority of the delegates
favor him.
one of the reports ahoat is that there
Is a movement engineered by Mr. Plat
of New York to nominate Senator-elect
Joseph 5. Foraker of Ohio. MIR. Foraker
IS an ambitious man. and has been sus-
pected. perhaps unjustly. of being anx-
ious for the nomination. He is pledged
to Mckinley and is to make the speech
nominating him. 1t is pointed out that
James A. Garfield. who made the speech
nominating Senator John Sherman, in the
convention of 1880, was himself made the
nominee.
Gen. Garfield, however was a very able
man, and had the confidence of his party
in a much greater degree than Mr.. Fora
ker has.
But why should the section of the re-
publican party that distrusts Gov. Nc
Kinley on the silver question regard Mr.
Foraker with favor? When Mr. Fora
ker was chosen senator there was doubt
in the minds of many as to his position
on that question. He finally said he was
in favor of sound money, but as politi-
clan he is not as reliable as Gov. SIcKin-
ley is. The impression his career makes
is that he regards Mr.. Foraker's success
as matter of the highest Importance
AIR. Plat, who is bitterly hostile to Gov.
Mckinley. might be willing to accept Mr.
Foraker as a candidate but the great ma
jority of those who are against Gov. Nc
Kinley would not support Mr.. Foraker
for the nomination on any consideration.
They want Speaker Reed, or some other
man having equally as good a sound
money record.

The silverite claim that wage earners'
pay under the present Standard has been
cut in two, and sliced in half again, viii
not be agreed to by wage earners who ex-
anime into the matter. 1t has been dem
onstrated by Mr.. Carroll D. Wright from
official statistics that the average of wages
are higher now than they have ever been,
and every man who purchases
his own supplies knows that
a dollar VIII go almost twice
as far now as dollar would go
IN 1873. The truth Island the laboring
man who has worked for ten or fifteen
years can demonstrate it for himself at
any time-that working people get more
for their money now than they have ever
been able TO get before.

THE city is rapidly recovering from the
shock of the disaster. and very soon the
storm will be only date in local his
tory" says a St. Louis dispatch Those
are brave words, and no doubt they cor
rectly voice the citys pluck and determi-
nation. But, as was referred to in our
dispatches yesterday. the city sim has to
face very grave danger, that of an cpl
demic of disease because of the dead
bodies that lie buried under the debris.
There are a large number of persons miss
ing. 1t is practically certain that a great
many of them We're killed, and that their
bodies are now decomposing under the
rubbish. In the warm and damp climate
of St. Louis this condition is one full of
danger. 1t may be that by extraordinary
exertions the ruins may be cleared away
and the locality put into sanitary con-
dition before any pestilent disease is de-
veloped. 1t is sincerely TO be hoped that
such will be the case.

The Ready-Made Candidate.
From the Boston Post Dem.).

The republican party has its candidate
for President selected for it in advance
Mckinley is not the candidate to com
mand the confidence of the people, but
he has a majority of the delegates, and
the party will have to take him for what
he is worth The efforts of the republican
leaders are now directed to the making
of a platform that shall offset the weak
sity of doing this IS one of the strongest
reasons for thinking that a real sound
money platform may possibly be produced
make no difference with Mckinley; his
capacity for straddling enables him to
stand on any platform that can be de-
V!sed.

WHY MOI stnte the Rntior

The lines will be strictly drawn at the
primary in Atlanta on Saturday. The
sound money democrats. are squarey
against the Independent and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
But where do the silverites stand? The
Atlanta Journal says they do not de-
clare themselves to be in favor of I'M
limited silver coinage at the ratio of l6 20
/. They call themselves bimetallists.
They have nothing to say about the ra-
ito. Why do they ignore the ratio? Are
they afraid of it? Do they think they
would lose votes if they We're to declare
for the 16 to l idea? Why don't they
come out frankly and say what their pur-
pose is?
1t is worthy of notice that the Illinois
silverites are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of saying nothing about the ratio at the
democratic state convention which meets
at Peoria. This is understood to be Gov
Altgeld's plan. AS he is one of the silver
chiefs, the question. suggests itself
whether it is the purpose of the silverites
10 name a ratio at Chicago if they should
be in absolute control of the national
democratic convention.
This question of the ratio is assuming
considerable importance in view of the
way in which the silverite leaders are
avoiding it. Is it the general understand
ing among them that it is to be avoide /,
Whether it is or not will soon be known

The Kentucky slump.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem)

The free silver craze seems to have
swept the stalwart democracy of Ken
lucky off their feet. So much the worse
for democracy Those who remember the
fury of the greenback craze during the
the battle for a resumption of specie
payments was fought 10 a finish, Will
not be astonished by present happenings
Probably there is nothing within the
scope of legislative action SO desperately
hurtful to the public welfare as the au-
thorization of cheap or debased money
Probably there is nothing that more at
tractiveiy appeals to popular credulity
and ignorance of the laws of finance than
the idea that a nation may cause itself
to become prosperous by making money
its quality and intrinsic worth. The DEM
ocrats of Kentucky are not to be eX-
eused, however. They have sinned against
light.

McKinley's boomers are leaving untried
no effort to catch the voters ''a-gwine
and a-comin'." They are now putting out
two kinds of campaign buttons that are
identical in design and in the booming
of William III" Mckinley, but differ a
to his standing on the money question.
one button, of golden color, says he is
for sound money" while the other, which
is half gold and half silver says he is
for 'bimetallism." The truth seems to be
that there is nobody in this wide, wide
world who knows where Mckinley stands
except Mark Hanna; not even the candi-
date himself.

The Columbus lynching was a most ex-
traordinary one. 1t was not wholly I'M
expected and yet it was a surprise. The
accused man had not been molested for
so long time after his arrest that it was
thought that justice would be permitted
to take its course. The lynchers, how
ever, only waited for a favorable op-
portunity. and the opportunity that they
chose is what made the lynching so ex-
traordinary. They rushed into the court
room while the court was in session and
the jury that was to try the accused man
was being impaneled, seized the Brighten
ed wretch and hurried him away TO his
awful fate. Neither spectators nor court
officers could offer him any protection.
They were powerless. The mob, not sat
isfied with one victim, went to the Jail
for another. who was charged with a
similar offense. What is there to be said
of such an affair except TO condemn it in
the strongest terms-as all lynchings
should be condemned? No doubt the
brutes who were lynched deserved their
fate. but they would have been con
victed and punished if the law had been
allowed to take its course. and the state
would have been saved the disgrace of
having her laws and courts treated with
contempt by a mob
