of His Hand.

injured in a game and has been trou-

Baltimore, July 15.-It can be stated
upon the best of authority that Sena-
tor Gray does not approve the present
independent movement in the Demo-
cratic party as advocated by Illinois
Democrats and agitated by members
of the party in the east. His opinion
is that the wisest thing the single gold
standard Democrats can do would be
to endeavor to control the nominations
for congress in every district in which
they have strength enough to influence
the result.

held by the financial purists to justify
the expansion of specie payments we

E,.Go.. FlemlnE on cnnalaat, nr,an.

AsN ASAliAtlbt VI a AAA AhbAiNl
who has Just returned from trip to Ne
bra1lia, gives the Register an interview,
In which he tells how tho Populist- Dem
ocratlc candidate for thc presidency. Mr..
Bryan stands among the people at his
home. The substance OF what Governor
Fleming says Is that Mr.. Bryan Is n man
whose personal character Is above re-
proach. and In talk which occupies
column Of the Registers space. the gov
ernor gives some very interesting details
OF. the candidates home life, and the
moral side OF the man.
All that Governor Fleming says OF Mr..
Bryan can be and has been said also OF
Major Mckinley. Both men are. indeed,
exemplary characters Not n whisper
has ever been heard aSinst either of
them, and the American people may be
thankful that this Is true. 1t is fortu-
nate that both parties have selected such
men. for It insures that the campaign
will be fought purely upon the Issues in
volvcd. There will be no mud-slinSIng.
no personalities. To this extent the con-
test Iwll be conducted on a high and
diEinfied plane.
But there is another feature about cx-
Governor Jennings Interview which has
attracted attention. 1t is the entire
omission OF any mention whatever OF the
issues OF the campaign. Mr. Bryan IS
not running for President on his per-
Sonal character and the sweetness OF his
domestic life any more than Major Nc
KInley Is. Both men are equal on that
point. but they represent widely differ
cnt views upon questions that effect the
welfare and the home OF every american
citizen. One stands for policy which
the. business sense OF the business
world thinks Is fraught with disaster.
the other stands for the preservation OF
the honor OF the American dollar and the
maintenance OF the national credit.
Much rs the country admires the pure
private lives OF william Mckinley and
William Bryan, the worthy sentiment
which holds each OF them up as bright
example OF manhood will have little TO
do with the settlement OF the grave
questions which are the issues in the
contest about TO begin. Nor will bril-
liant oratory. Astounding in catching
phrases. sweep away sound argument
appealing to the common sense of the
people.
Governor Fleming Is distinguished
representative OF the great conservative
clement OF the Democracy. which viii
find 1t hard to support the falIacy udvo-
Gated In the platform upon which Mr..
Bryan stands. The IntcIligencer does
not know what Governor FleminSs per-
sonal course will be. but 1t does know
what his'vIcws In the past have been on
these business questions.
II knows that HI has been sincerely on
the side OF West VIrslnla's business in
terests and the development OF her great
resources, and II does not believe, what
ever his attitude toward the POpuliSt-
Democratic ticket nominated nj ChIca-
so, that he liz for currency System that
has been abandoned by every eulIGhtcn-
cd nation OF the world. and from the cf-
fccts Of which West VirGinIa's Ereat In,
dustrial interests, her labor and her
capital. would be among the first TO
suffer.

Locomotive engineers, a few days since,
Informs the IntclllEenccr that Mr. Ar.
thur had Just returned from Mexico,
where he had been trying 10 ndjust the

wages. The engineers lind been rccciv-
Ing $40 per month wages paid In NIcxl-
can silver money (Aiexlco being on u
silver basis. They found that the pur.
chasing power OF the $40 was only
about so, so That while they were re-
celvlns apparently high wages tho cost
OF living was so great that their month.
ly pay was equivalent TO Just about half
what they received. 4 rule Of the
brotherhood was that no engineer
should work for less than 800 per month;
50 In order TO obtain this fair amount
they were Obliged TO usk tho company
for an Increase of pay to $50, the pur-
chasing power OF which would be the
minimum Of what the engineers believed
they could work for The railroad COM
pany could not grant the demand. be-
cause their freight rates arc received In
the same money, and they could not In
erase rates on account OF competition.
This is how labor Is benefited by the
thing the Democratic party and the
PopulIsts propose to join together to
force upon the people OF the United
States. How does the wage worker like
the prospect? An ounce of cold fact like
this Is worth tons OF theory.
