Hon, Charles A. TOwne.

Truth though crushed to earth will
rise again." An able though insincere
advocate can present a bad case so
adroitly that it will have h semb-
lance Of truth. We often hear h
expression, ''he would almost make
you believe that black is white"
This power or gift when used to sway
the masses is fraught with great
danger to the republic, as false theo-
ries of government and of nance
may be instilled into the minds of
the voters and impulsively given ex-
preston at the ballot box. The
greatest danger lies i'm complex ques-
tions of which the average voter can
only get a superficial knowledge at
best. He is apt to trust too much to
the leaders of his party faith. OPP
p%ortunity and circumstances are
often favorable for the PRONUNCIATION
of error and unsafe doctrines. Dur
ing financial distress and industrial
paralysis the demagogue thrives best.
The people want immediate relief and
are apt to accept quack nostrums
instead of the true remedy. At such
times dangerous men come to the
front, those gifted by nature to- sway
their fellowmen by eloquence of
speech or forceful writing. Such men
are not always ~insincere; they may
be desperately in earnest but with all
their gifts lack soundness OF iudg-
~n. Than nnoin nnrannnl UalfQ rQ
and the interests of a large constitu-
ency may warp their better judgment
as regards questions which affect a
whole nation and upon which the
nation must render a verdict. How
ever, men who are not true to them
selves and the people will sooner or
later come to grief. The judgment OF
the people is sometimes slow in exc
cution but it is unerring in the end.
Circumstances, b severiug OF former
ties, and self interests, often let's in a
flood of light. Among the advocates
of the free coinage of silver there was
none who stood higher than Hon.
Charles A. Towne of Minnesota.
One speech in congress gave him a
national reputation, SO plausible did
he present an argument in favor of
free silver. But it was rumored at
the time that he was paid well for
his effort. He went before his con-
stituents i'm the Sixth Minnesota dis
trict and was defeated for congress
on that issue and this year the people
turned him down again, Page Morris
being his opponent in both contests.
comes the Inter Mountain in a
recent issue and cutting loose from
it's former moorings, says:
Charlie Towne is one of the cheek
and crookedest political mounte-
banks i'm this country. His pay for
..unselfsh'' devotion to silver is
81 ,0OO.O 90 per month, and IA h Inter
can prove. He would quit
the business in ten minutes II the pay
stopped. So would some of the
other fellows who are seeking to de-
stroy the silver Republican party.
They are silver's worst enemies.
The Inter Mountain is in a position
to know what it is talking about and
vet no one has challenged it's

REPUBLICAN, PRIMAL RZES

The primaries held on last Friday
were with few exceptions very har-
monious and the best of feeling exsist-
ed among the party worker, not with
standing the fact that in one or two
cases there was great many candidat-
es seeking the nomination at the hands
of the republicans. The good result
shows that the republicans of Polk
county were united in selecting the
candidates for various otfies. For jud-
ges of the District Court Conrad, Hol-
mes, Bishop and Proudly received from
100 to 1sO instructed delegates Nc.
Quiston and Tate will have a sufficient
number of delegates to nominate them
on first ballot. Morris will be nominat-
ed for Supervisor of Des Moines Town
ship and Teachout for Lee township:
Halloran and IRIS will be the next
Justice of Peace in Des Moines Town
ship; Baker and Riddle will be their
Constable, Patterson, Blyler, Rhyme
and Sunberg will fill the similar office
in Lee Township. Mr.. McLennan
claims the County Attorneyship all
though Mr.. Miller's friends claims that
he will be nominated; for Recorder
it will be settled this afternoon in
the conventions; Cook has the lead
! Canady a close second. The good
result of this years primaries shows
that the republicans of this county are
united and will elect the entire ticket
with an overwhelming majority.

The friends of Free Trade and Free
Sllve, are trying very hard to agree
upon new issue, to come between
the two parties. They know that the
money question like thestariff is settle,
at least the people understand them,
and they cannot be deceived and the
leaders of democracy are willing to
put Free Silver on the retired list along
with Free Trade and go before the peo-
pie on the cry OF, 'Down with imper-
ialism." They know that sound money
has come to stay. A few years ago
no one would ever have thought that
the democrats would refused the right
hand of fellowship with Free Trade.
The people as well as the republican
party are clearly in sympathy with the
policy of the administration, From a
political point of view for the republi-
cans than to have the democratic party
to squarely commit its self against the
administration on this question of i'm
perialism.

NEGROES.

The courts of appeals of the state
Maryla nd, decided last Tuesday that
the Maryland Institution Art School
of Baltimore is not compelled to admit
colored pupils. This suit had been
brought by Henry Clark Jr., colored
boy, who had been appointed by COL
ored alderman named Cargill. At one
time, colored pupils had been admitted
to the school, lately the color line had
been drawn and now will the judges
of the high courts of that state will so
far forget the oath they taken when
they entered upon the duties of the
office as to hand down such an opinion
is there fair minded person who will
say, there is word of honesty or JUS
tice in such an opinion?
