TRUTHFULLY SAID.


High abovs the angry clouds whiob
fill the political sky with flashing por-
tsnts CT chaos and disaster, the charac-
ter of William Mckinley rises calm and
msjeetic, the pied ge OF honesty and OF
der to she people Of this nation.
Serene amidst the alarms OF dema-
gogues, steRdfast rs stsr against the
aimlesa currents of passion, gnd aus-
tanned by she unfateFing trust Of his
fellow patriots in the cause OF truth
and right, this modest. sincere, manly
statesman OF Ohio presents an inspir-
ing ex ample of the sturdy, loyal and
heroic citizenship which stands like an
inyiucible barrier to guard this gov
ernment from the incendieriea and an
archists who have banded for its de-
strucsion.
With a personal career " hieh subs
timely illustrates the might of honest
manhood, with a public record which
testifes to the coquering force of pa
triotic purposes fearlessIy pursued,
which seeks no meaner object than the
viudication of American honor before
sll the world. William Mckinley at this
hour towers above the fuFiee of faction,
above the rivalries of sections and the
contentious of individuals like bescon
of hope, lighting the way to the safe
harboF OF national honesty. unity and
peace IN. Y. Mail and E.cpress.

The real test of the sentiment of the
people on the political situation is not
surely and entirely indicated by the
newspapers; it is. however, indicated by
the action OF political aggregatious Of
the people such as clubs, conven tions,
etc, and it is noted that Democratic
politicsl clubs OF the eastern States are
publicly refusing to support the Demo
cratic platform and ticket. There is 10
mistake of the sentiment of the people
when it comes in that shape. for it
COMES from tie people themselves.
THE HERALD most heartily seconds
the motion OF the Gazette, that the city
adopt meridian time. As it is we are
in time and trying to go by
both Denver end San Francisco time,
with an hours difference. If we adopt
meridian time our railroads will be
q half hour faster end
slower than our own time, and thus
less chances of errors among travellers
and better sal lisfaotion among the BUSH
ness men of the city.

A Criminal Assaultl
From the New Mexican.

About 10, 1870 this forenoon, Ed

committed a criminal assault ON Miss

teen-year old daughter Of Manager I'm

1t appears that about the time men.
toned the young girl was passing the
Hesch planning mill. on the southside,
when young Hesch, with whom she
was very well acquainted, called to her
and asked her to come into the mill o
moment as he wished to speak to her.
Thinking nothing amiss the girl step
ped into the mill, when the crime was
committed.
As soon as possible the girl made her
escape from the mill, and, In a hys'
%terical and Frustrated condition, went
to her home and told her pitiiul story
to her mother.
As soon as Sheriff Cunningham was
informed OF the circumstances above
related he Immediately instituted 9
search for young Hesch. He found bin
in hiding IN the mill loft and promptly
dragged him forth and lodged him il
Jail. This occurred about ! p. m.
Hesch manifested much alarm and
denied that he used force with the girl
The fact that he was in hiding and had
a horse saddled to escape with when
opportunity offered looks bad for him,

In Utah the situation is the same es
In New Mexico. According to the
Salt Lake Tribune, the republicans Of
that state differ on n point, only. On
all others they agree; en- the vast need
of keeping the state of Utah under re-
publican control there is no differenc,
of opinion; the Importance Of electing
a republican congressman and legisla-
ture they all acknowledges; the GER
tainty of defeat and of the establish

they patriotism enough to perform their

EVERY man who edits a newspaper
is not a newspaper man. The news
paper man is created, not manufac-
tured. The brightest OF journalism is
not bought, neither can it be sold. Its
glamor turks in blood and brain; the
spell of its enchantment lasts with life
itself. 1t is a profession demanding
peculiar qualifications, and calling into
exercise a line Of talent exclusively its
own. The ability Of 9 Webster can not
supplant the nose for news, moi the
genius Of a BurAe minister to minds
that subtle mental diet which enlarges,
ennobles ard elevates, while amusing
them.

IT is a grievous mistake, one fraught
with a whole Illiad Of woes, for the
citizen taxpayers to remain away from
the local nominating conventions. By
SO doing, they place in the hands OF
men whose endorsement they would
suspect If presented for n dollars
worth of credit, their power ..of attor-
ney, their proxy, to decide how this
said business or that of the community
shall be conducted, or whether it shall
be attended to at all. This is their
criminal negligence in a nutshell. Al
the beginning OF the French revolution,
Mirabeau Numbered into the ears oil
Louis XVI that the "~silence of the peo-
pie is a warning to the kings" 1t
proved to be as ominous as the great
orator had predicted, and a demolish-
ed Bastile, a burning throne, an altar
srrmounted by a harlot and the com.
plete humiliation Of ~feudslism, show
ed that a re-created France was CON-
ing into life when kings were most con-
fident and the people most suller.
The totally Indifferent citizen, the
mar who does not vote at primaries or
polls, the one who thinks the country
will get along without him, is as dan
gerous to its veal as those who are
plotting revolutionary changes or its
absolute downfall.

REPUBLICAN MONEY PLANK 1904

REPUBLICAN MONEY PLANK 1904
We affirm that the decentralization of sill
yer has not only reduced the value of thai
metal, but by increasing the purchasing
power Of gold, has corr~espondingly de-
pressed the value of all products and com
modities and increased the burden of all
debts, thus crushing tho agricultural and
other producing classes, as well as the sill
yer miners of the country, and no perma-
nent return of general prosperity can be
expected anti bi-metalllsm Is re-estab-
lished by the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver, as it existed from the
foundation of the government to the year
1878, at the ratio of 16 to l, which we insist
shall be done without waiting for the CO.
operation of any nation or nations, and we
call upon all opponents Of silver to point
to any good that has come to this country
or the world at large by demonetizing
silver.
We arraign Grover Cleveland as the
arch-enemy of silver coinage, and the
chief supporter in this country of the
moDo-metallic creditor class of Europe;
for the corrupt use of the executive power
and patronage in coercing the action of
congress on the repeal of the Sherman
purchase act and for the veto of the bill
to coin the government silver o lying
useless in the treasury, and we charge that
the democratic party, while having su-
preme power in the governme emit, has not
passed any measure whatever favorable to
silver coinage, or to the lessening Of the
burdens of the people.

THE MONEY PLANK.

That the prospects for the adoption
Of a silver plank at the republican CON
vention, Saturday, are very good 10
quite evident, as the most sanguine Of
the gold men can only figure out fifty
seven out Of the nine.y-three delegates.
And In those figures, too, they take all
the best Of it, and claim delegates
whom It is by no means certain they
can control. This number, too, ID
based on reports sent in by gold men
exclusively, and they figure delega-
tions from certain counties as solid,
while the fact will be demonstrated that
the silver men will be able to poll q
large number Of votes from instructed
delegations, and a still larger number
from those now classed as doubtful.
Another proposition Is, that conced-
ing that they will be able to control
ffty-seven out Of ninety-three votes, Is
it not an almost certainty, that enough
Of the fifty-seven would concede a little
rather than sec the party disrupted
and two tickets placed in the field
The gold men undoubtedly realize the
fact that where gold delegations have
been sent, they do not represent the
masses Of the party, but were selected
by the Will of the bosses, as In this
county, and if they have any desire 10
see the party win in the Territory,
they will concede a platform that will
be acceptable to the silver republicans.
