for at the July meeting. The appoint.
ments are especially strong. The exec.
utive committee is headed by Hon. j.
g. johnson Of Kansas, whom Mime
sotans know so favo1ably, while Hon.
John R. Mclean OF Ohio heads the
ways and means committee, and Hon.
Clark Howell of Atlanta is chairman of
the Press committee. The other per-
sonnet of the committees is exceedingly
strong. OF course Chairman James K.
Jones is ex-ofdcio chairman of all. The
committees will probably meet at Chi
cago as soon as Mr.. Bryan returns from
California. Senator Jones wrote last
from Glasgow, in the most encouraging
strain as to his improving health.

Mexico, by aid Of gold bond loan,
has increased business activity, tho
same as large gold product, from Klon-
kide, has aided to set things going in
better shape in the United States.
Both have added to the money supply,
and stimulated business in both coun-
tries. Mexico continues to do her bust
ness with silver, in fact does two dollars
of business with every dollar she gets
of gold. And the republican will
credit Mexico's prosperity straight up
to Mckinley.

should have been ended ere this, and
would have been had enough men been
sent to the Philippines under compe-
tent leadership. Those who are re-
sponsible for the dragging out of the
war are mourning q fearful RESPONSE

But what of the responsibility for

Ohio Democrats fulfilled every pre-

The platform is most admirable, like
wise the candidate, Mclean, whose sue

Congressman Fletcher Of Hennepin,
may be said to be single baser. He
has been east for weeks, and found
there but single prominent Repub-
lican opposed to the Mckinley Philip
pine policy. He returned to Mime
apolis, and bought a single Thirteenth
badge. Many thought that Fletcher
would be a single termer, but he slipped
through the gimlet hole. Plenty are
ready to put up good money now that
he has not a single chance of the third
term. Nor is this singular.
