SS No better county ticket was ever nominated in Bates county. They are all clean, competent men and every democrat in the county can be proud of his ticket. It is predicted the Kentucky free silver convention will present the name of Senator Blackburn for pres- ident. J. S. Clarkson, of Iowa, formerly chairman of the national republican committee is reported to be dan- gerously ill in New York with heart disease. When the icago convention namesa free silver candidate for president then the free silver repub- licana in this state will begin to come over to the democrats. Mark M. (Brick) Pomeroy, former- ly publisher of the LaCrosse (Wis ) Democrat and Pomeroy’s Democrat of New York City, died Sunday at his home in Brooklyn. ——— EES At the county mass conventions in Kentucky Saturday to select dele- gates to the state democratic con- vention, the free silver wing of the party swept the state by a large ma- jority. The people of St. Louis are sub- scribing liberally to the destitute fund being raised in that city for the relief of the cyclone sufferers. Total raised up to Saturday night was $91,723.30. The Kansas democrats will meet to-day in state convention to select]. delegates to the Chicago national convention. The state is for silver and will send a solid free silver del- egation. —_—_—_—_—_—_ In Washington City standard democrats are discouraged and concede now that free silver will be in a majority at Chicago, and that it will control the coinage plank as well as name the candidates. Since March 1 the Spanish army in Cuba has lost 3190 men from yel- low fever. This is about the average strength of ten veteran regiments, oranarmy division.

The large opera house was packed and jammed with delegates and spectators and while there was a spirited contest between the dele- gates for their fayorites, the conven tion was orderly, good natured, and nothing was said or done to mar the proceedings in the least. The gentlemen who failed to get the nomination were, of course, dis- appointed, but they took their defeat like men and good democrats that they u:e and 9n election day and before will be found in the harness worki: » for the success of the ticket with t1¢ same zeal and determina. tion cf success as though their own fortunes were at stake. The gallast men who were chosen by the convention are one and all popular, courteous and fully compe- tent to perform the duties they will be calied upon in time to perform, and a stronger ticket could not have been named. The convention was called to or- der in the court house at 11 o'clock by T. L. Harper, the chairman of the central committee, and when Dr. W. A. Williams, of Hume, had been elected permauent chairman, J. W. Duncan, of Adrian, secretary and the following committees had been selected, the convention took a re- cess for dinner, and reassembled at one o'clock at the opera house where the proceedings were had Cel.

A few days| before a snow storm of ten days’ duration came to an end in one ot the towns of Montana.—Globe Dem- ocrat ‘The money question in this cam- paign will be the main issue. The republicans in their state and na- tional conventions are certain to hold to the gold standard. The dem- ocrats are almost certain to incorpo- rate in their platform free silver, and on this issue the battle will be fought The tariff will cut no fig- ure, however much the republicans may strive to force it to the front. On a free silver platform the Mis- souri democrats are perfectly willing to take chances and are almost cer- tain of victory by from 30,000 to 40,000. The Sedalia Star-Sentinel, repub lican, hits R. E. Lewis of Clin- ton, a pretty hard dip. It says: “Missouri republicans may have a a high regard for Hon. R. E. Lewis, but it occurs to us that a man whose conversion from democracy dates back no further than 1888 is nota fit subject for the gubernatorial nomination until the party runs out of men whose entire lives have been spent in the service of the party. And as there is no scarcity of the latter Mr. Lewis should wait until he ages a little in his newly adopt- ed faith before he permits his friends to couple his name with the highest office within the gift of the party in Miseouri.”’ President Cleveland promptly vetoed the river and harbor appro priation bill. The methods by which the bill was passed is plainly pointed out and the rascality of the congressmen exposed. ‘ne presi dent says: ‘Many of the objects for which the bill appropriates public money are not related to the public welfare and many of them are pal- pably for the benefit of limited lo calities or in aid of individual inter- CREDENTIALS.
