DEMOCRACY OF OHIO.
A Platform Which Has for u Foun-
dalton But II Crumbling Mass
of Pretcnses.

Ohio democrats, in nominating q plu-
tocrat for governor on an anti-capital
platform, confirmed the general opin
ion that it is money in the abstract and
not in its concrete form to which they
object. But that in itself is not so sin
gular in democratic conventions as to
excite much comment, and the chief
feature of the Ohio convention was its
reatfirmation of the Chicago platform
and the reabsorption of Bryan. These
two things go together, the pedestal and
the statue, though it is little awkward
to imagine as statue one who talks so
much.
The chairman of the democratic con-
vention in Ohio said: THE democratic
party of Ohio stands squarely upon
every plank of the Chicago platform of
1896" and the conventions resolutions
began: 1--WE heartily reaflirm the entire
Chicago platform of 1896, and we espe-
cially emphasize the financial plank
therein" Aparty that could emphasize
that could emphasize anything; and so
they went on: William j. Bryan still
retains our entire confidence, and we
demand his denomination in 1900"
This action by the Ohio democrats
makes more certain the already assured
denomination of Bryan on the Chicago
platform. The Issues of the national
campaign of 1900 are already deter

ARE HUNGRY FOR MINES.
Eastern Capitalists Subscribe $5.0O0.0O0 for
Western Investments.

Col. George W. l.. Dorsey. who re.
turned a day or two since TO Salt Lake
from an extended eastern trip, brings the
,idings that a number OF New England
bankers and capitalists, principally Of
Maine and Vermont, have organized under
the laws OF the state OF Maine what is to

mining stock and developed prospects in
the districts 10 the west.
Colonel Dorsey met some ot the nov
ing spirits in the enterprise, and more
enthusiastic set OF men, he says, he never
SAW In his life. The capital stock was all
subscribed In no time; In fact there was not
enough to 20 around, and the men max.
ing up the company are the shrewdeSt
and wealthiest people OF the states named.
Learning that Colonel Dorsey was
from Utah, they besieged him with all
sorts Of inquiries and asked his advice and
opinion on many subjects connected with
their scheme, and before he lett he had
their assurance that they would have rep.

dominated the surrounding business and
industrial world, while only during recent
months has Sumpter come into her own,
claimed the inheritance bequeathed her by
nature, the fruits of a valuable strategic
position to command the rich commerce Of
the adjacent golden.ribbed Blue Noun
tains. We all know that II is human ma.
ture for an older individual to resent
the pretentions Of younger rival, how
ever well-founded they may be, and this
is equally true of communities, merely an
aggregation Of individuals, controlled by
the ordinary motives influencing human
nature in general. Baker City has mani
tested this resentment towards Sumpter's
ambitions by studiedly ignoring this town
and calmly claiming everything in sight for
its own. This irritates the ambitious
young rival. Though this course may be
natural, II is unquestionably poor business
policy.
The Baker City Republican defends
this course and that towns title to all the
mines In Eastern Oregon by the more or
less dogmatic assertion that Baker Is the
banking and commercial center of the dis

miss the subject with a metaphorical lofty

papers, people and pamphlets stubbornly
refuse to accord to Sunpter a public official
acknowledgment oi its existence, and that
the Red 7 oy, the Go ltonda and n score of
other mines are here In operation, and that
the employees thereof are spending their

The eyes Of the mining world are
focused on Sumpter, and II can not be
ignored to any sane purpose. Baker

fact, and the sooner its citizens and bust.

where.
The id.a had come to Laurence that at
the head of the stairway from the chapel
was the prison chamber of Maud Linde-
say and her ward, the little maid Marga-
ret of Galloway.
He told himself at least that this was
his main object, and doubtless he had
the matter in his mind. But a far stronger
motive was curiosity. and the magic in
fuence of the mysterious and the unknown

More than to deliver Margaret of Gallo

the iron altar and to know the truth as
to the strange sacrifices which were con-
summated there. And he yearned to see
again that rough-eared image graven after

Rooted and ineradicable is the desire in

vor of its burning.
Long and carefully Laurence listened be-
