The nominee for Governor in New
York will be named by Senator
Platt, and will be pledged to nullify
thefranchise tax law. Corporations
in which Senator Plat owns stock
are now compelled to pay large sums
under this tax. Possibly this may
explain why Platt wanted Roosevelt
out of the way.

Purse of $3.50.

SHELBYoILLE, June 2S.-In imitation
of the great jumpers of the land negro
named George Brown jumped from the
bridge across Duck River at this place
to-day. The bridge is high structure
and the river is very full and the cur
rent rapid. As soon as he struck the
water he was rapidly carried good dis
tance down stream, yet he escaped un-
hurt and for the feat was given purse

TEN TsIN, which is mentioned as
the point of greatest activity and
danger, aside from Pekin, the
Capital, in the present troubles in
China, is especially important in
relation to American trade in that
country. 1t is in the northern part
of the country and it is there that
American goods seem to be in the
greatest favor. The growth of
American trade in that section is
described somewhat in details by a
recent publication of the Treasury
Bureau Of Statistics, which describes
Tien Tsin as the most important city
of northern China, being located at
the head of the Gulf of Pechili and
but 50 miles from the capital, Pekin,
with which IL is connected by water
and by railway line.

IT is announced that Gov. Beck
ham will call an extra session of the
Kentucky legislature to modify the
Goebel law. Under the circum-
stances it is perhaps best that he
should. The public mind should be
disabused of its prejudice against
the law, artfully engendered by The
Republican leaders and their ally
the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Co. so that If the Republicans
should undertake TO steal Kentucky
again next fall, they will have abso-
lutely nothing to stand on. A Re-
publican Congress would no. hesi-
tate to rob Kentucky of its electoral
vote in order to seat Mckinley, II
they had a shadow of excuse to rest
the outrage upon.

No, of course, there is no alliance
nor even understanding between
Great Britain and the United States,
but American troops are marching

AFTER six months of effort, the
Republicans achieved platform
which was promptly repudiated
from one end of the country to the
other by the Republican press, and
which it Is now claimed was foisted
upon them by shenanigan. This
will do to tell. The Republicans
are simply frightening by the uneX-
pected scorn heaped upon their
"non-glittering" generalities and
are trying to hedge. That is all there
is to the Quigg-Grosvenor con-
troversy.

Chicago, June 2o.-When the Sec
ond days session of the national con-
vention was called to order Thurs
day morning the race for the presi-
Dental nomination appeared to have
narrowed down to John G. Woolley,
of Chicago, and Silas G. Swallow, of
Harrisburg, Pa. Hale Johnston, of
Newton, ILL.,, also had a following,
but his adherents did not seem con-
fident.
a. G. Walfenbarger, of Nebraska,
called the convention to order be-
cause the voice of Chairman Dickie
had failed him. just 730 delegates
were present. After a brief prayer
the delegates were addressed by Oil
yer W. Stewart, the reelected chair
man of the national committee, who
made a powerful appeal for campaign
funds.
Oliver w. Stewart, of Illinois, placed
in nomination for the presidency
John G. Woolley, of Chicago.
Judge George w. Gere, of Cham
paign, H., then nominated Hale
Johnston, of Newton, ILL.,, whom he
declared "The grandest man in the
prohibition party in the world, ex-
cepting Oliver Stewart and himself"
DIR. Silas C. Swallow was then placed
in nomination by Homer Costle,
"and every inch of him backbone"
The Swallow demonstration was
twice as enthusiastic as that which
greeted the Woolley demonstration.
The Pennsylvania delegates sprang a
surprise by jumping to their chairs
and waving red, white and blue
| plumes of pampas grass.
DIR. Swallows nomination was sec
onded by John Hipp, of Colorado.
Rev. f. f. Carr, of Illinois, attempted
to make a seconding speech in favor
of DR.. Swallow.
After DIR. Carr had concluded, and
several other seconding speeches had
been made, the convention took a re-
cess for one hour.
The platform adopted by the probi-

both parties for an insincere attitude
on trusts and monopolies and for fail

The platform declares:
"We are Inundated, exasperated
and grieved by the evidence gainfully

Webster proved to be fallacious.
By the way, how often Bryan
and his organs and orators assert
that if Webster, Lincoln, Grant,
Garfield, Blaine and other famous
Americans were alive today they
would be supporting Bryan. How
did Mr.. Bryan aud his organs
and orators learn this? And isn't
it rather significant fact that they
are compelled to point to the Gem
eteries for illustrious supporters of
Mr.. Bryan? THE LEADER most

BR YIN IND WEBSTER.

None of the phrases with which
Mr.. Bryan loads his speeches.
moneyed aristocrat," "the poor
against the rich," "need of a new
declaration of independence, arc
original to him. Demagogues had
male them current in Webster's
day, and this is how Daniel the
Great dealt with them. 1t was thus
that he spoke in the senate on jan
uary 81, 1884, the subject under
consideration being Removal Of
the Deposits"
81 hear it boasted as the unfailing
security on which the proposed
measure rests, the solid ground,
never to be shaken, that the poor
naturally hate the rich. Sir, l pro-
nounce the author of such senti-
ments to be guilty of attempting
detestable fraud on the community;
a double fraud; fraud that is to
cheat men out Of their property by
first cheating them out of their un-
derstandiugs.
"The natural hatred of the poor
against the richn' "The danger of
moneyed aristocracy!" "a power
as great and dangerous as that re-
sisted by the revolution!' "A Call
for new declaration of independ-
ence! Sir, l admonish the people
against the object of cries like these.
| admonish every industrious labor
er i'll the country to be on guard
against such delusion. I tell him
the attempt is to play off his passions
against his interests and to prevail
on him, III the name or liberty, to
destroy the fruits of liberty; in the
name of patriotism to iniure and
aiilict his country, and in the name
of his own independence to destroy
that very independence and make
him a begger and slave. Has he
dollar? He is advised to do that
which will destroy half its value.
Has be hands to labor? Let him
rather fold them and sit still than
be pushed on by fraud and artifce
to support measures which will rem
der his labor useless and hopeless.
Sir, the very man of all others
who has the deepest interest in
sound currency aud who suffers
most by mischievous legis alton in
money matters is the man who
earns his daily bread by his daily
toll. A deprecated currency, sud
den changes of prices, paper money
falling between morning and noon,
and falling still lover between noon
and nightr-vthese things constitute
the very harvest time of spectators,
and of the whole race of those who
are at once idle and crafty, and of
that other race, too, the Catilines of
all times, marked so as to be known
forever by one stroke of the hiStor-
ian'S pen, those greedy Of other
mems property and prodigal of
their own"
This is the Websterian fact of
1884. 1t is a patriotic deuurcia-
tion of the scoundrels WHO fer their
own aggrandi2emeut seek to array
the poor against the rich, aud it is
az incontrovertible argument in
proof OF the fact that the poor are
the first to suffer from debased
currency, and that they suffer long
est and most severely,
Now what is the Bryanistic fact
of 1900? l is that he does all that
Webster denounced as fraudulent,

And again is heard Gods command:
Choose US out men and go out to fight
with Amalek' A hot and sanguinary
struggle has begun Already a number
of our brethren are over there under
fire. Many more are travelling along
hostile coasts.
You have seen them, the thousands
who, to the call of volunteers to the
front who will guard the empire have
assembled themselves to battle with
victorious banners. We, who remain
at home, are bound by other sacred du-
ties. Woe unto US if we remain sloth-
full and sluggish while they are en-
gagged in their difficult and bloody work.
And if, from our place of security we
only curiously look on while they
Rrestle IN battle.
Not only should we mobilize battaI-
ions of troops, but we should, also, and
shall, set in motion an army of trained
people TO beg and entreat for our breth-
rem that they may strike into the wild
chaos with sword in hand. MAY they
strike for our most sacred possessions.
We would pray that God. the Lord.
may make heroes of our men and lead
those heroes TO victory and that then,
with laurels on their helmets and or
ders on their breasts, he NAV lead them
home to the land of their fathers.
Our fight will not be finished in one
day; but let not our hands grow weary
or sink until victory is secured. Let
our prayers be as a wall of fire around
the camp of our brethren. Eternity
will reveal the fulfllment of an old
promise: Call upon me in trouble and
l viii deliver thee
Therefore, pray continuously"
