His affairs at the Wilderness were not
as successful as he would have had them:
but. nothing daunted. the resolute soldier
thought that his policy would be worked
successfully by persistent. heavy blows;
that his line was the shortest way TO

Lincoln and Mckinley.

TnUse who are old enough 10 re-
member the campaign Of 1860 will re-
call the fact that previous TO the Chi
cago Convention the political inter
rogatura we're after Lincoln Just as
they are now after Mckinley. They
insisted that he should define his po-
sition on the fugitive slave law and
tell what he would do in the event of
the secession of the South. Their
pretended anxiety about his views in
those respects Il simply Il trick. of

that could be used to his disadvantage.
But the device did not work. Il. wa,

"A Judge of the Court of Appeals is

and ought to do 50. In Major J.. B.

gentleman of high character. an able

and guard we'll the interests of the peo-
pie if placed upon the Appellate Court.

Major James B. Dennis of Cape
Girardeau is a prospective candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Judge of the Court of Appeals. We
think Southeast Missouri is entitled
to this honor and know of no one
more worthy than Major Dennis, and
we don't speak as Il stranger, for we
knew him intimately in the dark days
of the rebellion and always found him
a fearless, incorruptible advocate of
what he conceived to be the right.

Political MajoritfeS.

In arecent speech. Sir William Har-
court APPLY compares Il political ma
jority to Il snow storm. You do not
exactly know when it will come or
when it will 20" he says: but you
do know that it will probably come,
and you know for certain that it will
go" There is no assurance of per-
mancnce in it. whatever may be its
appearance in that respect. The right
of the minority to make itself into Il
majority Is always present and always
tending to accomplish Il change. Sir
William cites several illustrations in
English parliamentary history, all
going to show that Il majority in that
country does not usually last more
than six years. and is often swept
away in twelve months. The con-
ditions are not favorable to long
leases Of party power. y majority
can hardly hope under the best of cir
c~umstances to give entire satisfaction
anu W ii Olt Ill vi tllE HllllICl IA plI-
falls that involveposs;bility of defeat.
1t is being constantly put to tests in
which there is no allowance for mis-
takes and no patience with evasion or
postponement. Public opinion holds
irresponsible for everything that hap
pens. and insists upon the full per-
formancc Of all of its promises. 1t
must do the best thing ineachinstance.
or it will forfeit its popularity. and
the opposition will gain a~scendency.
Ii is even more true in this country
than in England hat majorities are
like snow storms. The Republican
party remained continuously i'll power
for nearly Il quarter OF Il century. 10
be sure. but that was largely due to
causes not likely to be repeated in a
thousand years. When it was turned
ont after such Il long period of SER
vice. Il new order OF things was intro
duccd. The Democrats gained con-
troll OF the Government only to lose it
at the end of four years. y ltepubli-
can majority followed: then another
victory ensUcd: and now
the Republicans are to triumph again.
Thus Il series of snow storms has 0c-
CURED. a. if in obedience TO Il law of
periodical alteration between the two
parties. The majUritiea succeeding
one another have moi been able to
maintain themselves. They have come
and gone. and the Lesson is to the eff
that permanencc.is ont of the
question. The main reason for such
is to Dc found in the fact that
1 majority. however formidable and
patriotic. can not meet the eXpccta-
of those vino have constituted it.
There ara always disappOintments.
md they breed disSension and disin-
.egration. The party loses Il little
mere and "a little there until finally its
power of success IL broken. and the
minority becomes the majority. Per-
ii j. best that ii i so: but at any
'atc, 50 it i. and no way has Yet been
to make it otherwise in any
country wher" public sentiment is The

Taubeneck Denies the story tina Pop
uIlsts will Unite With Democrats.
In a lengthy letter to James H. Fer
ris of Joliet, H.. Chairman Taube-
neck of the Populist National Com
mittee tiatly denies that there have
been any Overtures of a union between
Populists and Democrats. should the
Democrats nominate a free silver can
didate at Chicago.
He denOunces the Geographic report
sent ont a few days ago from Indian
apolis as a base fabrication and Il
SANDER on the integrity of the Popu-
list National Committee. and all the
Populists individually.
He says that no Bimetallist. Popu-
list OF Democrat has ever suggested
such Il combination t him, and he
holds that union Of any kind on any
basis between the reform forces and
either of the old parties is OFT of the
question.
He wishes it clearly understood that
whatever the Democrats nay do at
Chicago or the Bimetallists at St.
Louis. the Populists will hold Il
national convention at ST. Louis. July
22. and nominated candidate for Pres
ident and Nice-President. And they
will also announce a platform con-
tanning more than Il single idea. That
is to say they will not go before the
country asking the support of the peo-
pie or single issue of free coinage of
silver or any othor single issue. At
the same time, however, it should be
understood that Populists hold to the
theory that the Government alone
should have power to issue money,
gold. silver and paper. and that all
money Il he legal tender and not
~redeemable in coin.
He appeals to Populists not to be
misled by the fake reports OF certain
metropolitan papers, and especially
should they be guarded against any
political reports issuing from Indian
apolis. which seems to him TO be the
hot bed of fakes inimical to the cause
of the Populists.
If the Populists will only elect cool
headed. sober delegates to theirnation-
a~lconvcntion, no mistake will be made
as to the gcnuinencss of the platform
they will utter. More than this. if
