It is not a very high compliment to the President when members of his own party protest vigorously against his appointment of Supreme Judge. A man appointed to this position should be above reproach; his private and public character pure, of broad mind and much learn- ing. It appears that MeKenna doesn’t fill the bill. Congress has passed a relief bill to aid Kiondike sufferers, and ap- propriated $200,000 for that purpose. The management of the expedition will be left with the war department. It is understood that two expedi- tions will be started on different trails and an effort made to get re- lief to Dawson atanearly day.

Mr. Nelson is an able young lawyer of Cedar county and aclever gentleman. democratic central committee of the county and has always been a zeal- ous party worker. He is deserving, competent and would make a cred- itable senator. The St. Ciair County Democrat, eommenting upon the candidacy of J. A. Calvird, of Henry, and W. W. Graves, of Bates, for circuit judge says: ‘Both candidates above men- tioned are well and favorably known throughout the district.

To our thinking it would be the height of folly for a majority party, in State or county, to deliberately enter into a fusion and divide up the offices with a minority party on amere sentiment. We believe the platform of the democratic party is broad enough and strong enough to hold up all opponents of republican- ism, of oppression, of concentration, of the single standard idea and government by injunction. If the democratic party was in the minority in the state and it was necessary, in order to defeat the republican party that we have a fusion with a party, whose views on the principal issues more nearly | conformed to ours, then there might, in our jadgment, be an excuse for a fusion with the populist party. We wish to be understood as not antag- onizing any voters who are opposed to the great evils in politics to which | we allude above, but we hold that those who honestly be’ieva in the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at a ratio of 16 tol, who believe that the people should be taxed only an amount sufficient to conduct the affaira of the govern- ment economicsl!y administered, who are opposed to a government by injunction, ehould cast their votes with the democratic party as the only one that can possibly be suc- | cessful and correct these great evils.
