The result Of the triangular conyen-
nothing less than might have been
expected from any set Of men who
aimed at no higher purpose than to
barter away their political principles.
| After spending five days wrangiing
| over the spoiis Of Office the dsgracefui
proceedings ended with an irreparaile
breach between the populists and
democrats, which resulted in placing
two mlserably weak state tickets In
the field. Before the end came there
was general disatfection among the
delegates, many Of whom went home
in disgust before the tickets were
nominated. The democratic platform
Is disappointment To the anti-Steu-
nenberg faction because it contains
no specific declaration against the
governors arbitrary policy in the
Occur d'Alcnes, and the same element
is further disappointed because the
ticket Is a compromise between the
| warning factions with the odds I'm IA
vor Of the Stcunenberg wing. On the
other band, the governors supporters
are IN sulking mood because the
platform contains no speci fic declara-
ton In favor Of law and order and be-
cause the mixed element which con
trollcd the convention compromised
the party by naming for United
States senator a man who is not a
democrat. The party is split from
stem to stern and Is doomed to an TO-
nominious defeat at the polls In No
yember.

The breach between the populists
and the other wings of the opposition
To republieanism in this state is ire
parable, ut least ST far as The people
Of this state are concerned. The pop
ulists demand what the democrats are
not and never viii be willing to con
cede. and the former appear to be
equally firm In their demaad. The
leaders may get together before elec-
ton and patch up their differences.
bat II they do it viii In at the ex-
pense OF the democratic party to such
an Illuminating extent that no honora-
bile citizen could support the ticket.
The democrats will have To haul down
every candidate on their ticket who is
objectionable To the popullStS and
this would include the candidates for
governor and attorney general, who
arr Steunenherg men. And even ii
the democratic leaders were willing To
humillate their organization To that
extent, they could not Justify their ac-
ton before the people OF the state,

secret compact was entered into be

In a statement appearing In Mon

quoted as saying that he, as the fusion

the state. But why concede two
counties? Why not make ii unani.

DUBOIS Will ever have to carry ma jOr-
ity Of the counties in the state, and
the only manner in which he can
carry them, and we cannot under
stand why he did not carry all OF the
counties while he was at this carving
business. In this connection we
might refer to dubois record as a pol
itical prophet. In 1896 he said there
would be less than 100 Mckinley votes
in he state. He just missed it 6, 400.
In 1898 he said the fusion majority i'm
the state would be from 1900 to 20.

poll more than half as many votes AS
they did In 1896 The total fusion

We predict that the popuists Of this
county and state will break their
necks in rallying to the support Of the
fusion legislative ticket since Dubois
controlled the democratic convention

In behalf OF the popuists to the end

them and the democrats could be en-
tered into on the state ticket.

An Abseptminded Professor.

/ have a story of a gentleman now
engaged in educational work which is,
/ think. somewhat remarkable and Is
also quite. true. This gentleman was
once professor Of mathematics In a
fine New England college. He was
greatly interested in the work and de-
voted himself so wholly to it that
natural tendency which he had to aD-
sentmindedness became much accen-
tuated.
One day when he had guests at din
ner and was helping them to fish from
a platter he took plate bottom side
up, put a fish on the bottom of the
plate and handed it thus to one of the
guests. There was laugh at once,
and his wife said, "My dear, If your
observation-disclosures has gone so far that
you are serving people food on the bot
toms of plates. shall insist on your
resigning your professOrship."
She did insist on it, and he resigned
and went into another and more gen
eral field of teaching He is still lit
tie inclined to be forgetful-like some
of the rest of us-but he has never
since served food on the bottom or
plate.-Boston Transcript.
