ST. LOUIS, July 1G.-Accordlng to IN
terviews tonight with n number OF pro-
mInent populists and silver men. the
opinion seemed TO be that the convention
which meets her on tho 22nd will not
work In unison. as predicted. They will
not be able to agree to the selection OF
presidential candidate. Silver men seem
to b. unanimous for the nominee OF the
Chicago convention. while the Populists
want distinctive P0pullstic candidate.
1t IN, tao early to predict what the con-
vcntion will do, for only few OF the
large number OF delegates expected are
here.
The middle OF the road" PopulIsts are
making strong fight against either the
endorsement OF Bryan and the Chicago
platform, or the nomination of the Ne
braskan on n P0pullst platform. They
much encouraged over the action OF the
Arkansas Popullst convention which
yesterday refused to endorse Bryan. und
the propose to cryEtnllzc the anti-Bryan
sentiNent by public meeting OF the
"inldt,iic OF the road" followers Sunday
arterHuOn, when the campaign against
him will be opened.

A cowARDLY CANDIDATE.

The prospects are that the Republic
can party will have as its presidential
candidate Major Mckinley. He has the
elements of popularity in great abund-
ance, but it is far from certain that he
has the elements of craftsmanship.
The great issue before the American
people at the present time is the finan-
cial one Platforms may declare that
something else is, but if they do they
will utterly fail to make their declara-
tons the true issue. Can any one say
what McKinley's financial views really
are today? We know what Editor
Kohlsaat says they were year ago at
ThomasviIle Ga Then he positively
declared that he would not run on a
free silver platform. If his party
dominates him he will not be required
to run on a free silver platform. But
why does he so persistently refuse to
define his position on the money ques-
ton?
The New York Herald sent cores
pendent to interview him on the mat
ter but he got no satisfaction whatever
from him When the main purpose of
the interview was stated to him, which
was to ascertain his views on this cur
rency question, he answered, slowly
and with much deliberations: Now
this question you ask about the
currency has been thrust at me con-
tinually by newspapers and by all sorts
Of people. I resolved long ago not to
make any statement about it. 1 have
kept that resolution, and 1 see no rea-
son why 1 should not adhere to it
still" Then he added, with an air of
absolute determination: Il will not
talk on that subject. 1 am pleased
to have you call and I appreciate the
compliment, but 1 have nothing to
say
After this he read the questions that
had been submitted to him regarding
his attitude towards free coinage, his
meaning when, in February last, he
said the Republican party would as
soon lower the flag as degrade the cur
rency, etc.
After he had read them with care
he returned them with this answer:
Il am not called upon to make a
statement at this time. I have moth
ing to say
On the field of battle Major Mckinley
was a brave soldier; in the field of
politics he is a coward.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-05-16

Mr.. Barrett, of Massachusetts,, bids
fair to become as famous, or notorious,
as Mr.. Potter, of Texas. He it was
who wished to have Ambassador Bay
ard impeached for denouncing, in Eng
land, protection in America He did
not succeed, and Mr.. Bayard is still
at the court of st. James as the rep
resentative of the United States. E,ut
Mr.. Barrett is a persistent man, and
persistence is perhaps the most de-
siraible of all qualities in a man. With
out it he can accomplish little or moth
ing; with it, he may hope to conquer
all things. There is no excellence
without labor" said the wisest of men
That is much the same as to say there
is no excellence, no success, without
persistence.
At different times Mr. Barrett's per-
sistence has different objects. By per
sisting in changing the object of mis-
ambition his persistence is very likely
to lose much Of it's force. This is a
thing he should guard against.
AT present Mr.. Barrett has a con-
Stunning desire to amend the constiru-
ton of the United States. To accom-
plish that end he will need to muster
all the persistence he can, for it is a
great task that he has set himself
It is his desire to so amend the fed
eral constitution that Congress shall
have the power, by appropriate legis-
lation, to limit the time during which
persons may be daily employed in
manufactures of textile fabrics, and
other industries"
1t is not at all likely that congress
will even submit such a proposition to
the state legislatures, and it may be
said it is absolutely certain that the
state legislatures would reject the pro-
position if submitted to them. If the
people of any state in the Union wish
to regulate the hours of work for per-
sons employed in manufactures, all
they have to do is to elect a legislature
in accord with their wishes If the
states cannot regulate these things
satisfactorily then it is certain that
congress could not if it had the power.
This proposition of Mr. Barretts is
another evidence going to show that
the tendency of the times is towards
Capitalization of power in the general
government. 1t is all wrong. Already
it is too centralized. If it should have
this power proposed to be given it by
the Barrett amendment, why not give
it power to regulate all the internal
affairs of the states, for which there
exists just as great necessity as for
this one?
