TIE SALISBURY MYSTERY.

The mystery surrounding the alleged
election of O. J. Salisbury as member
of the Republican national committee
seems to deepen as the days go by.
Ills election was announced in the
newspaper which had been backing his
candidacy. but in no other newspaper
in the United States.
3ut the Queerest phase OF this ma
tional event was that the executive
committee. which is said to have elect
ed Salisbury. had not been created at
the time Of his alleged election
II may do to quote poetry and sheer
ut Republicans Of Utah who wonder
how - wos accomplished, but an eX-
PLANTATION would be better.
Was salisbury elected : member OF
the national committee, and if 50, how
was it done?

10 TO 1; NO STRADDLE.
Helena Independent.l

In 1896 a good many thousand western
Republicans bOlted the Republican party
because il stood for the gold standard
They voted with the Democratic PARTY
because it stood for bimetallism the free
and unlimited coinage Of both gold and
silver at the ratio of 1e to ].
During. the past two years some of
those boiling Republicans. who sOlemnly
al 10 to !. first. last and all the time,
have gone back 10 the gold standard party
because they pretended 10 think that this
year the Democratic party would strad-
die the money question.
We invite the attention of these gentle
men TO the Democratic money plank. It
is as strong as IL was in 1895, if not stron-
ser. In IL there is neither straddle nor
evasion. neither shifting nor equivocation.
We invite the attention of these gentle
men also TO the Republican money plank
adopted at Philadelphia. II is stronger
Tor the single gold standard than was
the Republican money plank in 1885
We are not begging these gentlemen TO
come back and vote the Democratic tick
ct again this year. But we ask them to
tell US whether they are insincere now or
were inSincere in 1895 They cannot claim
sincerity in both years.
Had the Kansas City convention merely
reaffirmed the Chicago platform with
specifically demanding bimetalliSm at the
ratio of 10 to i, these gentlemen might
have claimed that the Democratic party
had relegated silver 10 the rear. that it
had gone back" on its professions of
1856 But the action of the convention has
shut on that possibility.

At Close Range.


Once of those quick and happy retorts
that spring readily to the Yankee tongue
was made by the young DetrOiter who
recently gave most entertaining lee
ture upon his impressions OF Greece
He came back from abroad on an En-
glish vessel Being genial and of an in
vestigating turn OF mind. he was soon on
terms OF intimacy with al the officers
Because of the wars in which Britain and
this country are respectively engaged and
divided opinions as to the merits of these
controversies, earnest but goOd-natUred
discussions were Of daily occurrence
One afternoon most of the officers were
present and debate was running high
with the young DetrOiter as the only
champion Of America. He had his back
10 the wall and kept his head like a vet
eran. He parted and thrust with such
rapidity that his assailants were sore
puzzled as TO the best mode of attack
Finally the big engineer made this
thrust: We'll. il begins 10 look 10 me as
though there was no wav but for Eng
land to go at il and lick YOUR bloouin'
country"
What. again. came quick as a flash
and with laughing sarcasm
II took a full minute TO digest the two
words Then there was a hearty roar of
English hiiarity, and they patted the De-
troiter admiringly on the back
IN fighting and talking. these Yankees
are ugly customers. commented the en-
gineer.

In discussing the Democratic ticket
and platform the Butte Miner says of
the vice presidential nominee: There
is another matter in which MT Steven
son has shown himself to be a true
Democrat When Grover Cleveland,
during his last term. strayed away
from the beaten path of Democracy.
Mr.. Stevenson never swerved and he
championed the cause of silver as IN
hesitatingly as Mr.. Cleveland upheld
the cause of gold Mr.. Stevenson is a
stroag man. He has shown from his
days of hoyhood the same courage OF
his convictions that made him a mark
ed man in later years. Before he was
OF age he had attracted public atten-
ton TO himself by the fight he waged
against the Know Nothing movement
in his home district in Illinois By this
action on his part he endeared himself
to the Irish and German population OF
his section Of the country"
