While it is pretty generally conccd-
ed that Mckinley will be nominated
at St. Louis next week, the opposi-
tion to him seems to be more hopeful
now than they were two weeks ago
that something may turn up to pre-
vent his nomination on the first or
second ballot, and SO give time for a
consolidation on some other man.
The eastern goldbug element Of the
party are not satisfied with the atti-
tudc of the Ohio man on the money
question, and the gold standard pa
pers of the cast are calling upon him
for declaration. This he will not
give, and while lie is satisfactory to
these people on the tariff issue, they
are afraid Of his record on the propo-
eition Of finance. It is just possible
that, although Mckinley will not get
the votes of the silver men at first,
il they are satisfied that he will not
oppose free coinage, if elected. they
may support him in the convention
in preference to pronounced gold
man from farther cast. The REpUB-
L1CAN, however, still thinks there
will be a silver ticket in the field,
headed by either Cameron or Teller,
with a southern silver democrat as I;
running mate. This will certainly
be the case if there is split at Chi
cago and the nomination Of a goldbug
by democracy.

dian and public lands committees,
may also be said Of their work on all
other committees of which they are
members. They are very punctual
in their attendance at the meetings
OF the various committees and it is
noticeable that when an eastern
member wants information as to
public lands, Indian matters, mines
or mining, ETC., and reliable informa-
tion, he usually hunts up member
of the Montana delegation. While
the delegation is small in number it
very effective as a working body, for
you never saw a more harmonious
trio and harmony counts in securing
legislation. ARGUS.

in THE SAME BOAT,
From the New York Sun.


This is a campaign for self-preserva!ion.
Democrats and Republicans are in the
same boat, whether they like the situation
or not They must pull all together in
this emergency 10 escape common destruc-
tion. However far apart they may have
been before. they are compelled by the
same self-nteiest to work In unison nJw.
The questions to he decided are whether
the national honor and credit shall be ire
served ~ sacrificed. and whether every
mans dollar shall be kept at its full value
or be reduced by about one-half. When 1t
comes to a matter of that sort people don't
stop to quarrel over trfies. When a man
Is selling his goods or his labor or is lend
ing his money he does not inquire whether
the buyer or the borrower Is Democra:
or Republican, but only whether he is
good pay or has good security.
Bryan calls himself Democrat and Nc
kinley is a Republican; but OF what worth
are mere party names In this campaign:
Mckinley and Bryan are only tigureheads
of two opposing policies. II people want
their dollar cut in two, they will vote tor
Bryan. Mckinley simply stands for tnan-
cial honesty and business security. His
party name amounts 10 nothing. If you
want to save your property and prevent
the reduction of the purchasing power or
your wages you will vote for him. II your
devotion to the mere name of Democrat Is
SO strong that you are determined to stick
to Bryan, though he has sold out the DEM
ocracy to Populism, why, go ahead and
make the sacrifice of half your capital
I'm property accumulated or in marketable
labor. The money is your own. and you

of money, however, is more generally pop
ular. Getting 1t Is heard enough. and

Bimeta'lism, Real and False.

With the possible exception of John
Sherman there is no other living Amcri-
can ranking so high as n safe, prudent
and thorough authority on finance as
does Senator Allison, of Iowa. Mr.. NJ
lison was chairman of the United States
delegation to the Brussels monetary
conference of 1892, and in that position
made an exhaustive study Of the state
of European sentiment for international
bimetallism. He has recently embodied
in public letter hisviews as to the pros
pect for an international bimetallic
agreement. He declares that he is still
of the belief that such an agreement
within a reasonable time is probable,
and gives at length his reasons for such
a thought.
He lays stress upon the fact that in
England there Is growing sentiment
for International bimetallsm, embrace
ing her political economists, her profess
sors of universities. as also her manu-
AoStoiciS, SIllp-OWHeTS
engaged in foreign trade. and many of
her leading bankers. and those especial
ly trading with her dependencies, chiefly
with India, embracing all classes. These
are united into formidable organiza-
tion to promote bimetallism. On the
continent the states OF the Latin union,
except Switzerland. are practically
united. There is strong sentiment in
Germany in the same direction. The

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
As Viewed by the Enemy.

Scranton Times (Silver Dem.): mo good
soldier ever cares to bclittle the strength
of the enemy with whom ne is to do bat
tie. The records of war and politics are
strewn with stories of defeats caused by
over confidence while little damage is apt
to follow an overestimate of the opposing
forces. 1t is well. therefore, to look
squarely at the fact that the ticket nomi-
mated by the Lackawanna Republicans
does not lack in elements of strength and
that in order to achieve notable victory
at the polls the Democrats must put for
ward their best men and work harmon
iously together until election day. The
Republicans have put to the front as
candidate for congress the acknowledged
leader of the party in this county. Mr..
William Connell. This is no surprise to
the voters. For several weeks his nomina-
ton has been foregone conclusion and
the prize fell to him without opposition
and without protest. The divisions that
wrecked the party last spring if they
still exist, are latent They do not appear
on the surface and the indications are that
the Democracy will stand face to face
with the united Republican party or so
much as remains of 1t after the advocates
of Bryan and Sewall have finished their
missionary work. of course there
are varying opinions of Mr.. Connell per-
sonally, as may be demonstrated during the
campaign. He has spent all of his active
life in Scranton and 1t would be flying i'm
the face of facts to say that he has not n
large number of friends. To sum
the matter up it must be acknowledged
that he Is a strong candidate

county, was fitting tribute to repre-
sentative citizen of brains energy and
principle, who by sheer force of character
and unceasing diligence has risen above
the iron fortune of adversely and pushed
his way through many obstacles to a po-
sition of honor The sterling qualities OIL
mind and heart that enabled Mr.. ConnelI
to rise, from the humble position of a poor
driver boy in the mines. to that of an EN-
ployer of many men and the guiding spirit
of numerous industries, cannot fail to
make him a man of influence i'm congress.
In the course of his busy life he has run
the gamut of practical experience from
mine boy to a millionaire coal operator.
and there are no idle days in his calendar
Many men of affluence use their wealth
to purchase leisure and social enjoyment,
but Mr.. Connell Is not of that class His
dollars are as active as he is in the pro-
motion of various industrial enterprises,
and to his practical, purposeful energy
the city of Scranton Is largely indebted for
its progress. Mr.. Connell has mingled
with the people from boyhood, as bread
winner and employer, and he thoroughly
understands their needs and aspirations.
On the questions now uppermost In the
public mind his views are similar to those
We have frequently advocated in the
Truth. He is a firm believer in Protection

1t will be seen that not only do wages
in gold-standard countries average
much higher than in silver-standard
countries. but that the purchasing
power Of those wages is nearly double
the purchasing power Of the wages paid
in silver-standard countries. In other
words, labor gets nearly twice as much
pay in gold-standard countries as in
silver r-standard countries, and that pay
in turn buys twice as much. making
labor four times better off where gold
is the standard than where silver is.
