WORK FOR THE CONVENTION.


Chairman Oden of the Republican State
Committee had the satisfaction yesterday of
contradicting the report that i'll feeling had
been developed between Colonel Roosevelt and
Mr.. Plat over the nomination of Mr. Odell for
Governor and the selection of a candidate for
the Lieutenant GovernOrship. If, therefore, any
alarm has been aroused by rumors of trouble
in and around the organization the moment for
its subsistence would seem to have arrived
Referring particularly to the second place on
the Republican State ticket, Mr.. Odell added
You may say positively that the candidate for
'Lieutenant-GOvernor has not been decided
upon, and Is not likely to be selected until the
delegates to the State convention meet in
Saratoga" We are inclined to think that this
announcement will be well received by the gen
eral public and even by the delegates them
selves, though the arrangement subjects them
to unforeseen responsibilities and involves some
risks By the 4th of September the extreme
heat of the last few days will probably have
been moderated. and in any case q body of
patriotic men will not shrink from the per
formance of any task. however ardnous. which
they are officially advised to undertake
Though there is well established precedent
in political history for remitting to a duly or
ganized convention the duty Of selecting the
candidate for an office of about the grade of
Coroner, some apprehension may be excited by
the proposal to enlarge the sphere of action of
the delegates to Saratoga so as to include the
nomination of successor to the Hon. Timothy
Woodruff But there are times when the adOp
ton of a novel method of procedure makes an
agreeable impression on the popular mind and
thereby produces useful results. We should not
be surprised If this were such an occasion.
Naturally, it would not do to let the delegates
have anything to say about the Governorship.
No machine leader who knows his business
would ever dream of encOuntering so unnecas-
sary a danger that But Mr.. Odelrs reluc-
tance having been overcome and his health
being robust, it would seem to be within the
limits of reasonable prudence to leave the ques-
ton of the Meutenant-Governorship to be set
tied by the convention, of course with the ad-
vice and consent of the organization, especially
in view Of the fact that the organization has
not yet succeeded in getting hold of just the
right man for that particular place.
Thoughtful Republicans, we are sure will see
in this incident another impressive Illustration
of Mr.. Platt's unceasing solcttude for the vel
fare OF the party and the State. He has hesi-
tated to devolve upon the convention a respon-
sibility to which it might possibly prove IN
equal, and yet under the circumstances he is
not afraid to take the risk. Farragut at Mobile
and Dewey at Manila showed that seeming
recklessness is sometimes the highest wisdom
in war; Next week it may prove to be the
highest wisdom in politics also.

Mr.. Bryan probably thinks silence on this
topic is good politics. He may not want 10 'ei
his old silver friends that he would not make a
fight on the gold standard, and that they must
look TO winning both houses of Congress Derore
securing any affirmative action toward putting
the country the silver basis. AT the same
time he may not want to tell his new gold
friends who excuse their support by falsely
alleging that Mr.. Bryan could do nothing TO

that he would do his best to disturb it. That

MR.. BRYAN'S EVASION.

Mr.. Bryan declines TO say whether or not, If
president he would use the silver in the Treas
AIRY 10 nquidate Government obligations pay
able in coin regardless Of the preference of the
creditor THE New-Y York Herald" has tried to
obtain light from him on this important Ques-
tion and failed. The great prophet of free
silver evidently has no longer the courage Of
llis convictions. -Four years ago in his letter of
acceptance Mr.. Bryan declared: Until this
s'money question is fully and finally settled the
-'people will not consent 10 the consideration of
Fany other important question" Now he is not
merely trying TO force other questions upon
their consideration as paramount but is even
trying to divert their attention from this all
important subject Of money. Nor is he satisfied
with keeping silver in the background, but is
.endeaYOring to throw a cloud Of uncertainty
over his financial policy, allowing the silver
men TO think that he would be as radical as he
promised 10 be four years ago, and at the same
time letting the gold men hope that he would
mot Use the Executive power aggressively to
further his principles.
This trimming is particularly noticeable In a
man who has hitherto made such virtue of
straightforwardness in telling what he would
or would not do, The question which he is
asked to answer is a perfectly proper one, about
which the American people have a right to in
IOTIn2IlOQ. he cannot reasonably ask either
the silver or gold men ito go it blind" 1t is
more important for them to know what his cleo
ton to the Presidency would actually mean
with respect to Treasury payments than TO
know that he is theoretically In favor Of cheap
money and would sign bill for the free coin
age Of silver If it came to him from Congress.
Secretary Gage has pointed out what a Presi-
dent and Secretary Of the Treasury could do to
change our money standard from gold TO silver
without any action by Congress. They could
use the free silver in the Treasury TO pay coin
obligations as far as it would CO. and on a linn
dted scale could give practical demonstration
of their theory.
There may be difference OF opinion concern
ing the effect of such action. Some think II
would mean panic and a premium on gold
Others think the only harm would be an un-
settling Of confidence and fear of more radical
things TO come and that such fears would be
engendered by the election Of Mr. Bryan itself
and would hardly be increased by the use of
such powers as he would possess. That specu-
1ation is. however, not pertinent until we know
Mr. Bryan's disposition. If he says he would
use the Executive powers to abolish the gold
standard. it will he time to forecast possible
results; or il he says he win not try to force
silver on Government creditors, the question
can be put aside as Of no practical Importance.

RUSSIA AND CHINA.

A curious plea is put forward by a Russo
phile American writer, Mr.. ]. w Bookwalter
IN favor OF letting Russia take virtual and ex-
elusive control OF the entire Chinese Empire on
the ground Of her predominant interests therein
Mr.. Bookwalter says that Russia is the only
great Power that comes in direct territorial
contact with China, the others doing so only
through their dependencies, and he ikens the
relation between them to that which would
exist between the United States and Canada II
the latter were an Independent Power In this
latter supposititlous case If Canada fell into evil
ways under insurrection and European Powers
interviewed the United States would be tusti-
fed in saying, Hands OFF, Similarly Russia
may say, Hands off, In China to all the rest
Of the world, and in insisting that she alone
shall be permitted to intervene In Chinese af-
fairs and dictate the fate Of the Chinese EN-
pire.
It is to be supposed that Mr. BookwaIter
takes himself seriously in his pro- Russian prop
aganda, and that indeed, some others NAV do
so. 1t is therefore worth while to point out
that his argument is based upon erroneous
grounds and leads to an erroneous conclusion.
1t Is quite true that the Russian Empire abuts
directly upon the Chinese Empire But the
part Of it that does so Is Eastern Siberia
which has hitherto been chiefly q penal COLONY
We cannot see that 1t Is any more closely re-
lated to Russia proper than the French Chinese
Empire is TO France or the British Indian EN-
pire is to Great Britain. In these days Of steam
ships and cables oceans are not dividing bar
rlers, but connecting highways. Nor can we
regard Russia as being in any closer proximity
to China than is Japan, when consider that
the distance from st. Petersburg to Peking is
1000 miles and from Toxic to Peking less than
1900 miles. and that from Odessa to Tien-Tsin
is 1900 miles and from Nagasaki to SHANGHAI
only 600 miles
Questions of interest and of rights based
thereon are, moreover, not TO be decided by
geographical proximity alone. Commercial in
tercourse is an equally pertinent and potent
factor, and when 1t is taken into consideration
Russias title to exclusive control of China is
seen TO be slight and shadowy indeed Passing
by the British Empire, whose commerce with
China is far more than twice as great as that
of all the rest of the world it is TO be observed
surpass Russia In the value of their trade with
China. Thus in 1897 the commerce between
Japan and China amounted to more than 80
100000 taels. and that between the United
States and China to more than 10000, 900 taels
while Russia including Siberia, had a trade
with China Of less than 10000, 900 taes, or less
than two-thirds that Of the United States, and
scarcely more than half that of Japan We
are inclined to think that Germany's trade with
China also exceeds that OF Russia, for. while
exact statistics of II are not now at hand we
observe that the tonnage Of German vessels mt
Chinese ports IN 1858 surpassed that of the
shs9s Of japan and Of gny other nation save. of
