General Harrison this evening by in
vitation, and the ex-President handed
him the appended self-explanatory let

ONE Of the surprises OF the next de-
cennial census may be the discovery
that the national center Of population
has moved Eastward for the first time
since the government was formed. The
State censuses taken last year indicate
that the East is growing more rapidly
than the West. In the five years since
1890 Massachusetts gained in popula-
ton $4,000, or III per cent. The gain
Of New Jersey in the same period was
$4,000, or 1871 per cent. Towa's cor
responding gain was 146, 900, or 7.6 per
cent Kansas reports loss since 1890,
and Oregon's increase in the FIVE years
Is not quite per cent. Whether this
new development In national growth Ia
due entirely to natural causes, or in
part, at least, to the blight Of Populism
and silver imitation, Is not yet clearly
determined. But the States tainted
with Populist notions may prepare to
hear something drop In the census Of
1900. This looms up already in the Off
cial figures Of different States as an ac-
complished fact. Globe-Democrat.

Comparison.

Here are some facts which the Re-
publican organs OF Montana studiously
overlook:
When the free coinage bill which
just has passed the Senate was before
the finance committee OF that body. 1t
received the support OF every Demo
crat on the committee, while every Re
publican was cast against it.
The Democrats of the Senate, moi
one of whom halls from silyer-produc.
ing State, favored the passage OF the
bill by vote of nearly two to one.
The Republicans OF the Senate, with
every Senator from the silver-produc.
ing States a Republican, were nearly
two to one against the bill.
Outside Of the mining States the Re
publicans were three to one against
free coinage.
The Democratic Senator's outside o.
the silver-producing States stood two
to one in faver of free coinage.
The Democrats OF the House stand
ready TO give large majority OF theil
votes in favor Of the silver bill.
The Republicans Of the House arc
practically unanimous in their opposi
ton to the silver bill
Every defeat that silver has eyer suf
fered may be traced TO Republican
votes.
Had silver's fate been left TO Demo
cratic votes II would never have snf
fered defeat in Congress.
These are plain truths. They speak
for themselves. They need no apollo
gies or explanations. They can stand
without the prop Of misrepresentation

Votes to be Held.

Luck and accidents have not done
much in politics since DIR. Burchard's
speech bodied up out Of the depths OF
the unforeseen. Only the closeness Of
New York's vote that year permitted
the supposition that if Burchard had
been at home instead of at the meeting
Blaine would have been President.
Democrats know now how their work
viii be cut ont in the campaign of 1895.
There is going to be very small mar
gin for accidents. Rainbow-chasing
cannot be counted upon for electoral
votes.
To elect President, the party must
gather together 224 electoral votes.
Utah has just added three to the IA Of
1892.
Reckoning from the last Congress
sional elections, the Republicans claim
that the big Southern States of Mis-
souri, and Tennessee are doubtful. Mis-
souri, has II and Tennessee II votes in
the college. Together, they are nearly
equal to Pennsylvania 81. Maryland
with and North Carolina with IL are
also counted as doubtful by the Repub-
hcans. While these four States are Dem
ocratic in sentiment, the Republicans
have the hard facts of 1894 and 1895 to
cite, and Democrats are constrained to
admit that serious disaffection in the
party may take any or all of them out
of the Democratic list. We cannot pos
sibly lose these AS votes and win the
Presidency.
Holding these four States, we must
have New York's SO votes, Indiana's Is
and New Jerseys 10, beside Kentucky
13 and few more, to win, unless we
can gain their equivalent in the West
ern States.
Illinois "a, Wisconsin's II and Mich
igan's IA would go far toward supplying
the deficiency, but not far enough.
One of the possible combinations is
OF the South with the Trans-Missouri
States. Kansas can hardly be counted
in that combination. Nebraska has
votes, California 9, Colorado 4, Idaho 3,
Montana 8, Nevada 3, North Dakota 4,
Oregon 4, Washington 4, Wyoming 3,
and Utah 8.
All told, these States can supply 81
votes, or more than New York and
New Jersey and exactly as many as
New York and Indiana. With the
South solid, we could not elect Pres

shippers sued the Rock Island rail-
road for damages on account OF
shortage. The constitution of the
State provides that the purpose OF
an act shall be clearly stated in the
title, and on this ground Judge

stitutional, as the title Of the act

saying, Of course, that all the Repuh-
llcan aSpirantS for the president are
confirmed prOtectioDistS. Some of
them pretend, however, that there
ought TO be discretion and moderation
in protection, as in other things.
They recall that when the manufac-
turers had everything practically their
own way under the Mckinley law
there was more cutting of wages, more
strikes, more riot, more ill-feeling be-
tween capital and labor than ever be-
fore in the history of the country in
like period. The Republicans how
ever, since the Civil War, have never
directly appealed to the people for
support, having relied entirely upon
the manufacturers and the mOneyed
interests and the power and Organiza-
tiOn of such combination. Individ-
ual Republicans have scarcely ever
been appealed to for campaign contri-
buttons. Senator Carter, of Montana,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, is my authority for the
statement that IS per cent of the Re-
publican campaign fund in 1892 was
contributed by the manufacturers in
their organized capacity. Hereto fore
the manufacturers have not been per-
niciOuSly active in the selection of Re-
publican candidates. They have been
content with the understanding that
any Republican President would be
friendly to their interests and they
refrained from pointed discrimination
between individuals. Now. however.
they have taken a hand in debating
the candidate for the presidency, and
this alarms the party leaders. If Nc
Kinley is successful, it is argued, Re-
publican statesmen, ambitious of the
presidency, will vie with each other in
subServiency to the manufacturer to
the manufacturers, and protection
will run wild.
