representative in the Thirtieth general
assembly, where he was chairman of
the panitentiary committee, and became
the author of the present penitentiary
law. which has rendered our great
penal institution we'll nigh self-sus-
tanning. He was nominated for secre-
tary of state on the first ballot in the
state democratic convention of 1888,
was duly elected, and was renominated
without opposition, in 1892 and elected
by the largest vote on the state ticket.
Cart. Lesueur is a member OF the
Episcopal church, strictly moral and
temperate, of fine literary tastes and
requirements, an entertaining public
speaker and, withal, singularly devoted
to his interesting family.
The Office of secretary of state is the
most difficult of all state Offices to fill.
The duties are multitudinous and deli
cate; yet the present incumbent has
mastered all its details and established
well-earned reputation for honesty,
courage, fidelity and courtesy. His
executive ability finds its finest illus
trations in his execution OF the corpor-
alton and bank examination laws,
which so intimately concern the peo-
pies interests. His compilation and
publication of the Official Manual of
Missouri, of itself, entities him to the
gratitude of the state.
Capt. Lesueur will be candidate to
succeed himself, and as the 'tthird
term" idea, of necessity, never has
applied and never should apply to the
important Office of secretary Of state,
there is little doubt of his re-nomina-
tion and election.

appearance than brilliant with in elIi-

genius that is there or to what heights
he may reach ere laden with age, with
honors and with prosperity he is
gathered 10 his fathers and laid In the
grave. Those of US who have passed
beyond the meridiin Of life; who have
watched the coming and the going of
men, the opportunities offered them
and the nonchalance and contempt
with which they have refused, derided
and denied those opportunities, know
that the possibilities within the reach
of most are beyond their comprehen-
sion and more than beyond that OF
their friends.
The young men of today, horn IN

candidate on a bimetallist platform.
 Surely 1t vii not be contended that there is more confidence abroad in the triumph of the gold standard since the nomination of a. free silver candidate than there was before any one of the great parties had taken up the cause of bimetallism. Yet before Bryan was nominated the outflow of corn and cotton did not bring gold here, but with the most favorable trade conditions it flowed out and had to be brought back with high-prieed bonds.
 If the facts knock out the gold mems theories it cannot be helped and they must accept the conse- quences. The fact is that with a great campaign in favor of silver going on, gold is flowing into this country at such q rate as to frighten Europe and force the Bank of Eng land to put up the rate of exchange.

WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES.

In his speech at Wilmington, Del, Candidate Bryan used this lan- guage
 All the conditions of which we complain are brought about by the failure of the Government to exer- else it's rights to redeem it's coin ob- ligaticns in either gold or silver. "
 In the opinion of the GRAPHIC, Mir Bryan, in the remark above, struck the keynote of the situation. The financial troubles which this nation is at present suffering, are not due so much to lack of sufficient volume of currency as to the policy of the Government in redeeming its coin obligations in gold alone. There has never been any doubt in the GRAPHIo's mind but what this poli- cy of Secretary Carlisle in follow ing the Republican preeedents of re- deeming the greenbacks and coin obligations in gold was a gigantic mistake, and has been the author of all our financial woes. Added to this, as a further means of eompli- cation and embarrassment, is the law which requires greenbacks to be reissued after redemption, which under the policy of the Treasury Department in redeeming them solely in gold, has created an lend less chain" upon the Governments gold reserve.
 The right of option to redeem the Governments coin obligations in which never metal the Government so desires should never be surren dered. The policy of paying the Governments note-holders and creditors solely in gold has caused the issuance of $262, 900, 900 worth of bonds in a time of profound peace, and if that policy shall be persisted in, there is absolutely no limit to the possible bonded indebtedness of the United States. If Secretrry Carlisle, when he first took chargeI of the Treasury portfolio and when his gold reserve was far above the required $10O, 900, GOO mark, had as- serted his positive determination to redeem coin obligations in either gold or silver, or both, at his option, the financial troubles which have beset this country for the last four years would have been of short dura- tion. Such policy might have brought about temporary financial distur- bances, but with the head of the Treasurery firm in his decision and

ANOTHER PUZzLE

MT. Bryan has given the gold men another puzzle to worry over aud they are beginning to tear their hair
 In his Richmond speech the Dem ocratie candidate remarked that despite the prediction that the election of the Chicago ticket would drive gold out of the country, the mere nomination of a Presidential candidate on free silver platform had been followed by q remarkable flow of gold to this country.
 This statement has thrown the gold organs in the East into hvs- teria. They are exhausting the vocabulary of political vituperatlon to heap obloquy on Mir. Brayan for making such statement. Trey say that any fool would know that Bryan's candidacy has nothing to do with the flow of gold into this that it is caused by the outflow of corn and cotton and the of the election of gold standard President.
 But the fact remains that the first free flow of gold to this country for. several years has taken place after the nomination of a Presidential

 "Should you be victorious in November we pledge ourselves 10 spare no effort to bring immediate pressure upon our respective Gov ernments to cooperate with the Government of your great nation in restoring silver to the worlds currency

JoHN BoYD THATouER, the nominee of the New York Convention for Governor-the same convention that indorsed Bryan and the Chicago platform-has repudiated the Chi cago platform. Thus is the hope of the Democratic State victory in New York surrendered. Mir. Thatcher, having repudiated the platform, the Democrats in the election will no doubt repudiate MT. Thatcher. He should have remem- bered the experience of P. Watt Hardin, in Kentucky, who repudi- ated his platform and was in turn repudiated at the polls.

 and This means that if MeKin- ley is elected in November the agi- tation for free silver will be eontin ued. It is infinitely better than that this entire financial question should be definitely settled this year. Fn ther agitation means further business stagnation, aud it would be infinitely better to have free sil- yer. even if it is everything it's op. poneuts claim for it, than business should be stagnated by financial agitation, Any kind of a settle. ment would be better than what we have. Business will not revive un- til confidence is restored and the financial question definitely and finally settled. This country had better go to a silver basis at once than that business should be kept in constant state of stagnation by doubt and uncertainty.
