formidable factor.
DANFORTH AS A CANDIDATE.
It was reported that Danforth Of New
York had been named as the man upon
whom the two States would agree. This
story upon Investigation however, was
proven to be somewhat premature. as
at II o'clock the two delegations had
not agreed upon any man, and there
was small prospect that they would do
so for several hours.

tween Towne and Danforth of New
York,and the question Of eXpediency Will
now be considered Danforth is the

B. Hill. Already the point Is being
made that he is Hills candidate, and
that he is to be nominated TO cOncillate
Hin for the manner in which his sug-
gestlons were treated by Mr.. Bryan on
his recent visit 20 Lincoln. This is a
feature, however, which cuts both
ways, as there Is an element among the
delegates who do not feel Ike onernig
anything in the way of olive branches
IL is also known that Hill ana his
friends have some hesitancy about
pushing Danforth for the nomination
because they have doubts of success If
there is a distinct declaration for 10 TO
]. The fact that the New Workers
seem willing to allow the convention TO
take It's own course without making
any determined effort TO name the
candidate, has given the Towne men
great deal Of encouragement, and they
are today more aggressive than ever.

What It Would Mean.

The New York Independent,
leading family paper, says Of the po-
litical issues:
The platform Of the Republican
party is really the record Of what the
party has done since Mr.. Mckinley
was inaugurated; for the party has
controlled both the senate and the
house, and is clearly responsible be-
fore the people for the acts and poll
cies Of the government. On the
other hand, we must look mainly to
the written platform Of the Demo-
cratic party for what that party
would do il power should be intrust-
ed to it. Over that platform hangs
the black and menacing shadow Of a
national currency policy the accept
ance of which by majority at the
polls would bring dishonor and dis
aster upon the United States. For
the disastrous effect Of that policy we
should not have to wait until Dem
ocratic president should begin to pay
interest on the bonds in silver, and a
Democratic congress should repeal
the gold standard act' The people
would begin to experience it immed-
lately after the election Of Bryan,
We should even then bid long good
by to the prosperity that the nation
enjoys, Those who do not think
now that the free coinage Of silver at
the repudiationist's ratio Of l6 to ! is
the paramount issue would speedily
perceive their error.
