the polls in November, says the Spo-
kane Review. It needs to be re-
membered, though, that when TO-
100000 American voters march to
the polls, surprise is always an ele-
ment to be considered. If both the
Republican and Democratic national
conventions should declare for the
gold standard, the gold vote would
be divided, and it would be among
the range of possibilities for the bolt
ing Democrats, the Populists and
the disaffected Republicans of the
West to come together in the for
nation Of a new party. If this
were done, while the indications
would point strongly toward Nc
Kinley's election, there would still
remain an clement of doubt, which
would make the contest extremely
interesting and exciting.

In 1892 Sheriff Gates sold to
Francis Crossen of this city 500
worth of county warrants at face
value.
There is no advantage in multi
plying these instances. Enough are
shown to establish the fact that
county warrants brought par value
in 1892. Indeed there is no reason
why warrants should sell for more
today than in 1892. The county
debt is about the same, and will be
redeemed in presumably about the
same length of time as 1892 war
rants were.

let me say to you that the undsputed

the evidence has been presented to your

great issue to be submitted to the people

taken Its stand, and the other is looking
out for the stand that it was to take on

The crowd for the second session of the
democratic convention at Chicago yester-
day was larger than the first. Several hun
dred persons attempted to remain III the
convention hall during the three hours of
recess. They camped in squares scattered
along the long, sloping banks of chairs,
which stretch up to the caves of the build
ing, like the benches of the ancient Coli
scum. after which Chicago has named its
mammoth hall Those patient enthusiasts
were not suffered to remain, however, for

met in the state OF Michigan in April, last

was not single contest as to a single del

unanimous report. and after that report
