SINCE the Presidents stand for sound
currency, Mr.. Whitney has decided not
to 60 to Europe at once. as WAS the In
tention expressed by him few days
ago. but will remain in the United
States until after the Chicago conven-
ton, in which he, Senator Hill and
Senator Gormsn will probably take an
active part in the hope Of Influencing
the msjority OF the delegates to declare
against the free coinage OF silver. All
of this, however, will do no good. The
tide is already set in the direction Of
free silver platform and oil the efforts
Of the President and his friends cannot
prevent IL. Mr.. Cleveland spoke too
late and even now he has not said
enough az to not desiring q nomination
for q third term.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The Republican national convention
which began It's session at st. Louis
on the 10th inst. completed Its work
yesterday by nominating Ex-Governor
William Mckinley, Of Ohio. for Presi-
dent and Garrett A. Hobart, Of New
Jersey, for Vice President. The nom-
ination Of Mckinley was foregone
conclusion some time before the meet
Ing OF the convention.
Concerning the nominee for Vice.
President, however, there WAS much
wire pulling and considerable specula-
tion. although soon after the meeting Of
the convention the contest for this posi-
tion seemed to narrow down to Hobart,
Of New Jersey, and n. Clay Evans. Of
Tennessee. There was much talk about
Governor Morton as the nominee for
Vice President; but this seems to have
been more the work Of Boss Plat, Of
New York, than any one else, 1t even
being insisted by some, Mr.. Depew
among the number, that Governor Nor
ton would not accept the nomination for
Vice-President II rendered him.
The platform WAS the result of con-
siderable time and labor, the main
trouble being the financial plank, dele
gates from some Of the far Western
States insisting on some concession to
silver, while those from the Eastern aud
Middle States commended strongly for q
strict adherence to gold as the standard
Of value. The latter finally triumphed,
for while the platform is pledged to
promote international bimetallism. It
sdheres to the existing gold standard.
What will be the decision of the peo-
pie Of the United States on the ticket
and platform just selected will be
known in November. In the meantime,
II the Democrats and other silver men
will make the most Of their opportunity
free coinage In this country will be q
fixed fact sitter the next Presidential
election.

MR. CLEvELAND's STATEMENT.

President Clevelsnd's statement to
the New York Herald az to the duty Of
Democrats on the currency question and
his own hopes and aspirations so far as
the party 10 concerned, is receiving
much adverse criticism even from those
who are disposed to think as he does as
to the necessity OF maintaining the
present standard of value in this coun-
try. The Washington Times OF yester-
day has the following:
The interview given out by President
Cleveland 10 regarded as ll-timed and
indefinite. Suoh Is the almost unani-
nous verdict of ell those who to-day
are discussing the warning laid before
the Democratic party by its chief repre-
sentative. Ninety per cent. OF the few
politicians remaining in the city concur
In the belief that 1t does not in any
sense amount to final and unequiyo-
cal declination OF another nomination,
but Is merely stipulation to the effect
that he would stAnd upon no other than
an out-snd-out gold platform.
The way is left open, just the same as
1t has been for the past three years, for
Mr. Cleveland to again become the
standard bearer Of his party IL that
honor should be thrust upon him. The
whole purport Of the interview Is felt to
involve nothing but Q warning to the
party itat its memb ers should not fol.
low strange gods. and that It's welfare,
together with the best interests Of the
country. demand continuance of the
present financial policy.
The fact is generally conceded that
the President in this respect was &C
tuated by the highest motives and felt
ths: both the political Organization, of
which he is the temporary head, and
the future prosperity OF the people st
large require the limited use of silver.
The gold leaders OF the Democratic
party, II any could now be found in
Washington, would doubtless concur In
the sentiments expressed by the Presi-
dent, but with the criticism that the
declaration just m ade should have been
given publicity two months ago, before
the selection OF delegates to the
convention was begun, or else withheld
until after the Republicans at st. Louis
had settled for themselves the monetary
controversy, which has even threatened
to disrupt that party. For this reason
there be many who assert that Mr..
Cleveland's statement will be OF vastly
more benefit to the Republicans than to
the Democrats.
Coming prior to the adoption of the
platform for the next campaign and be-
fore final determination OF the cues

shall contain the word gold" or be- a

BASEBALL YESTERDAY.

Roanoke Had the Game Up to the Ninth
Inning and Then Lost
1t WAS good game up to the ninth
inning, and 1t looked as though Pop
Tate's aggregation OF ball tossers would
win from the leaders with great deal
of ease, but in the last half the specta-
tors were treated to q climax of a yerv
painful nature. Up to the beginning OF
the ninth the score stood Z to 2 In favor
OF the locals and in the first half another
run wac added. Then came the climax.
Two errors, two hits and two bases on
balls did the work and five men chased
themselves ACROSS the rubber.
This Is how 1t WAS done: Fear sent
an easy one to Lynch and he juggled it,
letting the batter get TO 6rsG Little and
Boylan were given their base on balls
The bases were full and nobody out.
Pickering raped hot grounder to right
field and Hill let 1t pass him, and 1t
went to the fence. Everybody on the
bases. including Pickering, crossed the
rubber. This tied the score. Leshy
went out from Cheesbro to Tate aud Nc
Gam smashed out three-bagger and
scored on Schabel's single to right field.
Cheesbro and Boylan were the oppos-
ing pitchers and with the exception of
the last inning the former pitched q nice
steady game. Boylan was cool and
while he WAS batted hard he did not lose
his head at critical stages. The cranks
were disgusted with the climax, and
claim that when Cheesbro got so wild
that he could not get ball near the
plate, that the manager should have
taken him out of the box.
II such q course had been pursued
Roanoke would no doubt have had
another victory added to her list. Per-
sonEl feelings should not be considered
when it comes to losing game like the
one lost by the Roanoke aggregation
yesterday. The score:

straddle, calculated to be q sop to the
free silver element, the Presidential
warning will have the immediate effect
OF solidifying the Republicans and
causing the disaffected ones to become
reconciled to the gold standard plank.
This decision will be reached because of
the fact that the superstition will lie
that the large numbers Of good and
faithful Democrats will be Influenced
by the action Of their most distinguished
member and would follow his leader
ship, even II the path to be followed
should lead out of the party.
