NOMINATE ABLE MEN.

Now that the time is approaching for
county conventions to assemble and
nominate candidates for the legislature,
great care should be taken to select
able and capable men as candidates
The Democratic nominees for the legis-
lature should not be instructed for any
particular man for United States sena-
tor, but every legislative convention
should require a pledge from candi-
dates not to support any man for SEN
ator who is not a Democrat, and whose
silver record is not above reDroach.
And no man should be nominated who
cannot give that pledge. Democrats
are fighting for a principle in this
campaign, and to carry out to it's logi-
cal conclusion the one great object for
which the party is striving, it is neces-
sary that the men who are elected to
Office by Democrats be in accord with
the party. Men who can give this
pledge should not be Disseminated
against because they have not for all
time been in accord with the Demo-
cratic party.

A NUT TO CRACK.

The Ogden Standard asks: "Why
cannot d man be true to the free coin
age of silver and be true to protection
at the same time? Must a man be a
traitor to his own political household in
order to believe in the free coinage of
silver?''
By implication it says that the Re-
publican who does not believe in the
theory of tariff protection is a traitor
to his party.
True, the Republican party is pledged
to protection" so-called. But it is
likewise pledged to the single gold
standard.
Why should the man who re-
nounces protection be designated a
traitor any more than the one who
refuses to subscribe to the gold stand
ard?
Probably the Standard will make
some answer to this question

RoosEVELTS CONFIDENTIAL
LETTER.

The controversy over the publication
of Colonel Roosevelt's letter to Secre-
tary Alger, in which the colonel spoke
of his own regiment being worth more
than any other three volunteer regi-
ments, has about died out. The press
generally took the side of the colonel
and censured the secretary for giving
the letter out for publication, saying
his motive was political and personal
Let it be granted that Alger gave
the letter out for the purpose alleged,
and that he offended still more when
he diyulged the contents of a private
and confidential letter. All this in no
way relieves Colonel Roosevelt of his
contemptuous remarks about the vol
unteers. The apologies made for him
in this regard are too small and con-
temptible for consideration, and only
make a bad matter worse Even if
they be accepted, Colonel Roosevelt
offended in another way, and, from a
military standpoint, in a much graver
way. His apologists say that his letter
to the secretary was of a private and
confidential nature. Is it a proper
thing for colonel in the field to adj
dress the secretary of war in a private
letter and ask him to send his regi-
ment to some point where he wants to
go? Compliance with the request
would necessarily have to be made
through a public and official channel.
Colonel Roosevelt addresses his supe-
rior on a matter of most vital public

SENATOR TELLER'S CANDIDACY

Several days before the ST. Louis
boom Senator Teller for the presidency.
When it became apparent that the
silverites would control at Chicago" a
few of the senator's friends undertook
to urge his candidacy upon the Demo-
Gratis. But no one took it seriously,
not even Senator Teller himself He
was interviewed in Washington City
and stated that nothing would come of
the agitation which was confined to
his personal friends.
Party leaders refused to entertain
the proposition and party organs point
ed out its absurdity.
The Herald said, a week before the
st. Louis walkout occurred: There
is 70 demand whatever, in the Demo-
cratic party, that Mr.. Teller be named
at Chicago
Nor was he. For, with ali due respect
to Mr. Teller. the Democratic party
was composed of many men as earn
est and as eloquent for silver coinage
as was any man who carried away
from the st. Louis convention the
name Republican"
And so. the Tribunes claim that the
Democratic convention assembled at
Chicago Ito nominate Senator Teller
for candidate for the presidency" is
ridiculous.
Had the Colorado senator been a
candidate for honors in a Democratic
convention he surely would not have
taken part in a Republican convention
only few days before.

into position, unaided by horses, and,
enfilading the Spanish sortie line, COM
pleted the rescue of the keystone in

troops went into battle in daylight. The
midnight battle of Malate was a COM
plete surprise, the severest test of SOL
dierly qualities, and it has made heroes

ADMISSIONS OF FUsIoNIsTs.

The State Journal, published at Og-
den, has been regarded as an organ Of
the silver Republicans" of Utah, sec
ond only to the Tribune in authority.
1t is the accredited mouthpiece of Sem
ator Cannon, in the interest of whose
candidacy fusion has been agitated
Two weeks ago the State Journal had
an mixing of what was going on among
the Republicans of the state. for it
said:
The tendency of the Republicans is
to get together to make the fight for
gold. To be a Republican is to be in
favor of the gold standard and opposed
to free silver coinage. The Republican
leagues have set the pace for the party.
Recent events have justified that as
sertion. Republicans are getting to-
gether. The Tribune says that all of
them are ''silver men," whether they
voted for Bryan or Mckinley, except
three.
When the followers of Cannon and
the followers of Hanna get together in
Utah it means that they are unwilling
TO forsake the old ties of craftsmanship.
that they are still Republicans, above
all else, and that Hannaism is not so
repugnant to them as at first it seemed.
The Republican leagues have set the
pace for the party" says the State
Journal. And the leagues declared for
a single gold standard, against the free
coinage of silver, made no reference
to ratio. and ignored the idea of inter
national agreement.
ITO be Republican is to be in favor
of the gold standard and opposed to
free silver coinage" says the Ogden or
gan of fusion.
The thirteen thousand Republicans
who voted in Utah for Mckinley two
years ago are silver men," says the
Salt Lake organ of fusion.
These are the statements of SILVER
Republican" authorities. Let Demo-
Gratis who have favored fusion study
them carefully.

Roosevelt introduce the political pull
