THE COMING TIME CARD.
Radical Traiu Running Changes on the
Kcck Island.

Kcck Island.
Next Sunday comes the new time
card on the Rock Island on which
occasion the new rules will go into
effect. Exactly what the new sched-
ule will bring is yet matt of con-
lecture. but 1t has been limited that
some OF the changes will be of \
radical nature. For instance, one Of
the rumors is that trains and .
will be taken c # the main line from
Rock Island west and run around
the horn. via Muscatine. Osksloos "a.
thence to Des Moines. The distance
over this route is only six miles
greater than via the main line, the
forne or being 1S2 miles and the latter
lI6. This announcement seems
plausible from the fact that the
Rock Island has been credited with
a determination to so arrange the
Iowa train service as to practically
insure the equivalent OF double
track service across the state of
Iowa from the Mississippi to Des
Moines, AID this would contribute TO
that end.
Another rumor, which is better
founded, il anything, than the one
above given, is Of new train
running from Wilton via Muscatine
to Rock Island. reaching here about
$50 p. m, and returning at a:i5
over the same route. The Illinois
division time card has been received
There are but two changes in it, one
being that train 6 now going east a,
2.55 q. m will depart at 80 a: m a.
and 20 east-bound at l.20 p. m. now.
will leave five minutes earlier. There
are NO changes in the trains coming
west from Chicago this far.

grata to large portion of the party and
could only make himself so by repudi-
ating the platform of the convention
which nominated him. This he had no
desire to dc, and could not do even if he
had. Not having desired the nomination
and having consented to take it merely
at the general demand of the party, it
was quite natural that he should change
his mind whom he found that q oonsid-
cradle faction of theEparty did not want
him and threatened not to vote for him
unless he subscribed to their peculiar
Views-yiews diametrioRlly opposite to
those expressed by the convention that
nominated him.
No doubt Mr.. Winslow will have
much more agreeable summer than if he
had consented to remain a candidate
and become tho target of the silver lead
ers in this state. He will cave himself,
also, By his deolination, considerable
many dollars, for he would have been
expected to come down with something
handsome for the honor of carrying the
Democratic standard. Whatever may be
its effec5 upon the party there can be no
doubt that its effect upon Mr.. Winslow
win ba beneficial in every direction. He
will be healthier and wealthier and
sleep better on accou unit Of it.
What will the Democracy do now?
There seems to be no way out of the
sorapo short of calling new convention.
UHder the circumstances the state COM
mittee will hardly feel like taking the
responsibility of supplying the vacancy.
But a new state convention is likely to
emphasize and intensity the differences
in this party in regard to the Chicago
platform and may result in an open bolt.
Naturally an attempt will be made TO
adopt now platform in accord with the
Chicago platform and place upon it q
candidate who believes in free silver, and
unless the gold men consent to remain
passive this will lead to lively row.
Had Bataman maintained different at
titude toward the tail of the Democratic
Presidential ticket he might have stood
q good chance to get the Dem ooratio sill
yer vote, but his bitter attacks upon
Sewall has probably destroyed all his
chances Of beeoming Mr.. Winslow's sue
oessor. Under existing circumstances
Hanson of Belfast, is the man most like
ly TO stop into Winslow g shoes. but they
must DO relieved with silver before he
can wear them.
The Portland daily press., 1896-07-27

Tom Watson is much filter running
mate for Bryan than Arthur Sewall. for
Bryan is essentially Populist and Tom
Watson is the same, while Sewal1 is not
supposed to be in accord with more than
the free silver doctrine of that party.
1t is hardly probable, however, that Mr.
Sewan VIII recognize the superior fitness
Of BIr. Watson and decline in his favor.
though despatch to New York paper
credits him with some such purpose.
Probably both candidates for Vice Presi-
dent will remain in the field thus COM
polling the Populists and Democrats TO
run independent electoral tickets in every
gtate.
The Portland daily press., 1896-07-27

We should not wonder if Bryan's re-
ported refusal to accept the Populist no.
Ynination unless Sewall was included was
resolved upon quite as much to help pull
himself out Of hole as to assist Sowall.
There are a good Inuny demands in the
PopuIist platform which do not appear
in the Democratic, and to formally ac-
oept their nomination necessitates upon
Bryan's part an endorsement of them.
This he may be reluctant to do, for fear
that it mag strengthen the Democratic
bolt, and SO an excuse for not doing So.
suoh as he can find IN the refusal to
nominate Sewall, may be very grateful
to him.

1t is we'll known that Mr.. Winslow was

THE POPULIST VICE PRE-
New York Post. }

The Populist convention violated all
preuedents in nominating candidate for
Vice President before making its choice
for the first place on the ticket, and it
was only proper that it should have been
equally reckless in picking out the man
who represents the real feelings and de-
sires of the party. Thomas K. Watson is
o typical Southern Populist. Elected to
crat, he soon became as bitter against
that party as the other, and before the
end of his first year ceased to call himself
Democrat, running unsuesessfuIly for
reelection in 1892 as the candidate of the
Peoples party. During his brief service
at Washington he became notorious as n
demagoeue, who disguised all sensible
people by his wild IDEAS and abusive
language. His easy nomination for the
Vice Presidency on the first ballot i'll
show the people of the United States
what reckless and dangerous party the
POpulist is
