course has been pursued by the Presi-
dent, presumably as Il rebuke to the Sec

adherence to the Chicago platform and

especially in the support of sound money.
Secretary Smiths resignation was pre-
dicted as a matter of only brief time.
and it was further stated that the Pres
ident was very indignant at the course
which his Secretary had decided to pur-
sue. 1t now transpires, however, accord
ing to Washington dispatch, that there
was no truth in the report and that there
was no deviation from the usual course
in the matter of appointing Mr. Sheri
dan as successor to Consul General Lee
who held the position of Pacific railroad
director for the Government prior to his
transfer to Cuba. Mr. Sheridan's com

it TO the President for the appointment

true, but ever since Mr. Smith declared
for Bryan and Sewall and the Atlanta

ALL TALK.

All the talk about another Presidential
ticket is bosh, and Bryan and Sewall are
gaining strength rapidly inside their own
party and the. chances arethat the boiling
element in the real Democratic strong
holds will amount to nothing Even in
New York, where the gold influence is
paramount, many men opposed to the
financial part of the Democratic platform
will support the ticket. They know that
nothing is to be gained by afliliating with
the Republicans, who, while glad to Get
their support, are unwilling to make any
concessions. Mckinley is Haunting his
tariff doctrines in manner highly often
sive to revenue reform Democrats, who are
Disguised ut his arrogance and have de
termined to have nothing to do with him.
Tammany has decided to support the
Democratic ticket, ~~and however much
that organization may be abused locally
1t is still great power in national poll
tics, and will exert a..great influence in
bringing waverers into line. Besides this
the silver sentiment is growing stronger

SELF prove potent factor in shaping re-
suits in November 1t is not contended
that New York will give her electoral
vote to Bryan and Sewall, but it is be-
lieved by many students of the political
situation that the adoption of the free
silver platform by the national Demo
cratic committee will add but little, if
any, strength to the Republican ticket in
November, as the Democrtic losses from
the gold vote will be fully offset by the
gains from silver.

DIR. MOTT ON FUSION.

DR.. j. j. Mott, ex-chairman of the ma
tional committee of the Silver party, in
an interview with reporter of the
Washington Star, when asked il he ey-
pected any serious complications in the
matter of fusing on the electoral tickets,
said: 81 do not see why there should be
any trouble. The party which refuses to
fuse in number of States will be looked
upon as standing in the way of silver, and
will get the worst of the bargain when
the people vote in. November. My opinion
Is that the people of the country of all
parties are too earnestly and Loyalty for
silver to let few politicians stand in the
way of a union of the silver forces"
When asked if he belle ced that Watson
or Sewall would come off either ticket he
said he had no idea what would be done
i'll this direction, hut even if each refused
to get out of the others way he did not
see.why that should cause-.so much trou-
BILE He believed that an agreement could
be reached by which the candidate for
ice-Presdent receiving the largest vote
WOULD DE unlteh upon IN the electoral
college, conceding, of course, the clsims
of the silver men that they will have a
majority in the electoral college. If Sew
all gets a majority of the votes cast in
November the Populist electors will vote
for him. On the other hand if Watson
gets a majority the Democrats will vote
for him.
If the leaders of the Democratic and
Populist parties can pursuade themselves
to such n display of sound sense and judg-
| ment as to follow such a course as that
| laid down above, matters ought to move
on smoothly whether there is any retire
ment of one or the other Vice Presidential
candidates on the ticket with Bryan or
not, and the success of the movement for
free coinage being paramount to that OF
the individual or party even, it ought to
be easy for such an arrangement as that

tiers during the Presidential campaign at

Nebraska, the secretary, is expected to
arrive there very soon, and Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina, chair
man of the committee, will put in as

The prevalence of the yellow fever at
Vera Cruz and other places in Mexico
will put the health officers of the United
States on their guard. The quarantine
regulations of this country are now so
rigidly enforced that the danger from
the spread of epidemic diseases has been
greatly lessened, but sometimes, as the
past has shown, the strictest regulations
have failed to keep down disease, and
knowing this those who stand guard over
the health of the people ought to be

Guantanamo after killing sixteen of the
rebels without any actual loss of life on
his side. These Spanish victories. until

however, led the public to hope that n
