The conventions at Pocatello
have met and adjourned, and now
the great State political battle
for 1900 is on, and to the result
it is too early to judge. The
Democrats and Silver Republi-
cans formed a union. The Silv-
er Rupublicans got the nomina-
ton of Hon. Fred. T. Dubois for
United States Senator, @. J..
Bassett, for Secretary of State,
and the Democrats took the bal
ance of the nominations. The
ticket is a strong one, and almost
certain to sweep the State from
top to bottom. The Populists
refused to enter the fusion and
put up a straight ticket, but it is
understood they will take down
their Presidential Electors, in the
interest of Bryan and Stevenson.
The Populists were hard people
to deal with in this instance, and
too radical for their own good.
They have no earthly show for
election by keeping in the "mid-
dle-of- Their road" After Steun-
enberg had been turned down on
every proposition, the Populists
wanted to kick him after he was
down, but this the Democrats re-
fused to do. What strength the
Populists have in the State will
cut little figure in the general
result. While it is known that
a few Silver Republicans have
gone back to the gold party, the
body of them are still intact.
-Four years ago they left their
old party on account of its at
titude on the silver question. At
that time the gold party held out
for blind international bimet-
allism," but this year they have
come out straight for the single
gold standard, trusts, etc. The
Silver Republicans contend if
silver was right in 1896 that it is
just as right in 1900.

1.-THE head of the Rothschilds
went away apparently much dis
turbed. He said that what told
him confirmed what he had al
ready heard.
ITO my mind, the fact that
England wants Mckinley elected
is one of the best American reas-
ons for defeating him. The fact
that England fears Bryan is the
best possible argument why
Americans should trust him and
put him in the White House.
We want an American president,
not an English one, nor one that
England favors. We want no
alliances or other entanglements
with England or any other Eu-
ropean power.

ton l would like to make to
Bryan In the coming fight, the
Republican manufacturers will
threaten their workmen. They
will tell them that if Bryan is
elected the factory will close
down, or that wages will be cut.
In this way they'll try to intimi-
date the working vote. My adj
vice to Bryan and to all Demo
Gratis is to meet the threat with
promise, and follow the promise
with performance. Tell every
workman that if his employer
puts him out of work because of
his vote for Bryan and Bryan's
election, the government will
find him work. I'd promise and
fulfill the promise to start ship
yards, armor plants, open coal
mines, forge guns, make small
arms, do in fact anything and
everything in the way of provid-
ing supplies, whether of peace or
war, that the government now
hires or buys of others. 1t would
De just as cheap and cheaper.
elf there's a profit in govern
ment work for private enterprise,
there is for the government.

es to workmen whom the Repub-
licans threatened and threw out
because they refused to vote for

Croker Is Sure Bryan Will Win.


outlook the other day, says a
New York exchange.
II have never" said he, "felt
more sure of success for the
Democracy than I do today. I've
been away, but I've kept the
closest Of watch on the progress
of American affairs. England's
a good place to keep watch from
at that. One gets a bird's-eye
view of the whole situation not
possible when you are here in
the middle of it. Bryan will beat
Mckinley. It's in the air; writ
ten in the very faces of the Re-
publicans themselves. It's as it
should be.
Bryan, to my mind, and I've
seen him and read him and studi.
ed him, is the nearest to Jeffer-
son, and the best and most Amer
lean American, save Abraham
Lincoln that has been produced
for the presidency in my time.
Bryan is of the people, for the
people, by the people. Mckinley
is of the trusts, for the trusts, by
the trusts. The trusts man will
go down, the peoples man will
go up. Bryan will be the next
tenant of the White House.
l shall not be passive during
the campaign. I've come home
to go to work. I shall fight from
now till the polls close in Nov
ember. And we won't go to
sleep till the count is made. We
will take Bryan to the Bridge
(the Bronx river) with $4,000
majority. The Republicans up
the state will not be able to meet
us with IS, majority for Nc
Kinley. Bryan will have the
the electoral vote of New York.
The Republicans are in bad,
contentious shape in New York.
Platt, Roosevelt, Bliss, Black,
all have their knives out for each
other. There will be much cut
ting and slashing among the Re
publicans and they will shed
more political blood among them
selves and do themselves more
injury than they will the Demo
Gratis. We will not only carry
the state for Bryan, but for the
governorship and the legislature.
AS for issues, Trusts, and the
open, ceaseless and arrogant ag-
gressions of Money will be the
chief in New York state. Trusts
and the evils they entail are the
subjects of New York popular
interest, and on the tip of the
general tongue. And whatever
Republicans may say, they will
be held responsible for the trusts
by the people. Every man who
is against trusts will be against
Mckinley. It's not to be avoided.
If the Republicans and Nc
Kinley don't foster and favor the
trusts, why doesn't the attorney
general enforce the law? There's
a law against trusts, a good law.
1t has been held good and en-
forced by our supreme court in a
case from Tennessee (the Ad-
dystan Pipe Company case) with
In a year. Why doesn't McKin-
ley and Griggs enforce this law?
IT'S because they are the servants
and protectors of trusts, and the
people will hold them response

We can win, but we must fight
and fight hard. This war will
not be easy. Money is hard to
beat. And all that money can
do, rest sure. will be done

IS STILL CHAMPION.
Jim Jeffries Defeats Jim COrbett in
the Twenty-Third Round in
Fight at COney Island.

Seaside Club, Coney Island, N. Y.
May 12.-Jim Jeffries is still the heavy
weight champion pugilist of the world.
He defeated Jim Corbett in the 23d
round of their fight with decisive
knockout. The finishing blow came as
sudden and startling surprise. Cor
bett had been making wonderful bat
tie. His defense was absolutely per-
feet, and while he was lacking in
strength, he had more than held his
own, and stood an excellent chance of
winning the fight had it gone the limit.
He had not been badly punished. and
had managed to mark his man severely.
The winning punch was a short left
jolt to the jaw. Corbett dropped like
a weight and was clear out. Jeffries
showed ability to take punching. az
any distance, and punch hard. He was
clearly outboXed, and at times made to
look like a novice. The crowd. which
numbered fully 5000, was with Cor
bett, and his defeat fell upon silent
crowd. There were cheers given him
when he revived and left the ring. and
hewas generally shown more considera-
ton than the victor.
