LOCAL SILVER SENTIMENT. An expression of the democracy of this county or. the free silver question was given at tho various township meetings held to select delegates to the varioue State, district and county conventions a few days 6inco. In ten of the eleven townships the sentiment was strongly in favor of the free coinage of silver, and a return to the monetary situation previous to 1873. By this expression here the democracy are only wording the views held by nine-tenths of the party throughout every western State. Whatever power Wall street or the money sharks of the east may have in frnming laws favorable to them on matters of finance, thoy cannot suppress the opinion held by the great majority of the people on tho monetary situation. The democracy are not alono in their opinions. Many republicans in many States and territories agree with them. They believe wo can be placed back to tho situation previous to 1873 when silver was on parity with gold, when it would be taken behind the bank counters of Wall street as readily as gold. Wall street created all this trouble on the money question and daily protits by it. whilo tho people, the producers, suffer from it. The talk of "sound money" is tho work of the money schemers, while tho peoplo who are tho most interested must suffer from it. "Sound money" as used by them moans to squeeze the peoplo. The people resent this. The man with tho money has the power and often will use it unjustly to further his ends. Wall street can control the gukl of tho country, but not the silver, llenco it manipulates things tosuititsel! with tho metal that is scarcest. It creates panics, because it is money to it to do so. ft depreciates silver because it is the money of the people and always has been. The silvor sentiment will continue to exist in spito of efforts of money sharks to crush it and lind expression in thousands of conventions this year in the county.
M'KEEN VS. FAIRBANKS. The contest for position between tho friends of Fairbanks and McKeen, for U. S. Senator at tho hands of the legislature, if it should have a majority, is moving on. Pecuniarily and mentally there is not much difference between the men, Both have money and this giveB to the average republican legislator much intorest in tho contest, as ho expects to get somo monoy out of tho

affair for his "iuiluenco." Tho "sonato torial courtesy" feature of tho scramble will be best -illustrated after the nominations for legislators have all been made.
THE scramble for place on the republican State ticket at thoir convention this week waB in many respects disgusting even to an ordinary decent man, reminding one of the fighting and biting of hogs ovor a trough of swill. The mountain labored and brought forth a mouse. The convention labored and furnished to its party a very ordinary set of men as candidates on the State tickot.
REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKETThe ticket nominated by the republicans last Saturdav is au average one there have been better and there have been worse.
The contest for judge was somewhat exciting and somewhat surprising to some. It seemed, as some republicans said, to have been a contest between the Methodist aud Presbyterian pious olemont of the party, iti which the former was triumphant—and some of the Presbyterians wero much chagrined, too, ovor it. Bruner, the nominee, however^ is a pleasant gentleman and his kuowl. edge of law is as extensive probably as any of his opponents. The small strength devoloped by Brush could not bo accounted for. He fell early, yet is understood as the head aud fount of tho county republican ring.
Mr. Harper, the uomineo for sheriff, soems to be an unknown quantity. In his immediate vicinity ho is said to be unpopular. His entering the field of politics may be the spoiling of a good farmer for an indifferent official—if elected. If elected it might be a matter of interest to him to take an invoice of his belongings at the outset of his official career, and then when he lets go he can estimate just how much he is ahead pecuniarily, socially and morally. Such figuring often surprises an ex-official. Harper's nomination was a "deadner" on many of the pets of the ring about the court house. They will have to hunt some new place to warm their ehin6 and draw salaries than the sheriffs office, as
Harper, if elected, will have his own friends to reward with deputyships. Brown township, as usual, had a candidate and, as usual, got left. Two years ago the party slaughtered McCormick, of Brown, for treasurer, and this year Deitrick for sheriff was driven into the same chute. It the party don't stop treating Brown so mean she may land her vote with the democracy.
The surprise was the nomination of McCrea for representative. He is a nonentity, and either Travis or Harshbarger would have been more creditable. He amounted to nothing at the last session of the legislature, and will not in the next, if elected. He was a decided failure as trustee of Coal Cieek township, built them a shoddy brick school house at New Richmond, which had to be torn down and rebuilt at the end of six years, and the affairs of the office generally were poorly managed. He has a handle, "Capt.," at the front end of hio name, and this or any other military title atones generally with the average republican for all sins of omit&ion or commission in any individual asking for the suffrages of the party.
Walkup, it was said, was the only one of the ring's favorites nominated.
THE MOTIVE.
All this scramble among republican politicians regarding instructions or no instructions for this or that candidate for president to be nominated at this candidate for president to be nominated at St. Louis is interesting to observe, when the motive for it is taken into consideration. The men kicking so much over it have no personal regard in particular for McKinley, Harrison, Allison or any other candidate. It is the gift of office solely that moves them. They are looking ahead for postoffices, consels, positions in revenue department of the government and the like. They have got to indicate a preference for some one candidate aud choose the one mast likely to receive the nomination, and at once seem to exhibit groat regard and welfare and interest in his welfare aud nomination. There are dozens of republican politicians zealous for Harrison and hopeful of his nomination again for president, because there is little show for them if McKinley is nominated and elected. From him there will come to them no loaves aud fishes. With Harrison thero is hope for them, yet at tho same time it is not a matter of principle nor love for the man. but: office, office, office, nothing more. That ia his motive solely. Mr. Gowdy, the republican State chairman, is roceiving many maledictions at the hands of the Harrison mon at Indianapolis, but ho is as honest as thoy, aud has fully as much 'principle." lie favors McKinley. llo will got an office if McKinley should be President. If Harrison is chosen he will not. This is tho entire "principle" involved in tho quarrel among the brethren.
WIIILK McKinley at St. Louis will have some of the shrewdest and most astute politicians of tho party against him there seetue uo doubt that he has many veteran workers of the party in his favor, and unless all signs fail he will secure tho nomination for president. His backors are getting tho necessary financial aid from tho manufacturers of various kinds, aud this is what always tells at republican conventions. Tho negro delegates expect to
Bell
thoir
votes at the convention, and tho McKinley crowd having tho most monoy will take them, as the highest bidder gets tho goods always. It is not the principle they are after its the kilt, tho rino, the ready-John.

THE VENEZULEAN MATTER. Some four or five months ago this country was wrought up to hi«'h degree of excitement by a of the President to Congress rel itiUi4 to England's proposed action rcgnr'liug the boundary linn between Venezula aud Guina. A commission was appointed by Congress to investigate the matter so far as it might conilict with the Monroe doctrine, but since that time nothing has been hoard about it. A correspondent thus speaks of the matter: "The expectation is that the Venezulean commissioners will Boon be ready to make their report to tho President. It is believed that they have partially come to a conclusion, though it is subject to such change as further testimony may suggest. The investigation has been conducted with great care and impartiality, aud with no spirit ol unfriendliness towards Great Britain. It is safe to assume from the information lhat can be had, that unless some new testimony changes tho aspect of the case, tho decision will be adverse to that of Groat Britain.
It is anticipated that tho decision will bo such as to force ihe United States to maintain the attitude assumed by the President in his message to Congress, of resistance of the encrochmenta of Great Britain upon auy territory in dispute, until hor claim shall havo been established in some proper poacible manner. The attitude assumed by the administration was based upon a certain state of facts as they appeared, and was not subject to change unless it was found on investigation that other facts changed the aspect of the case. The position of the United States was taken deliberately without any unfriendly feeling towards Great Britain, and with a full appreciation of the consequence that might follow."
THE M'KINLEY MACHINENo better evidence of the thoroughnesfl with which the McKinley political machine does its work can be shown than in its triumph at the State republican convention at Springfield, III., last week. It defeated easily Illinois' favorite son, Cullom, who desired and desired earnestly the endorsement of his State for the nomination for President at the St. Louie convention. Cullom is the most prominent politician of his party in Illinois. For many years ho has been U. S. Senator and is now has had vast political experience as well as the confidence of the people. Fet for all this the McKinley machine knocked him out in an hour's time, aud be was very willing to withdraw as soon as he saw the drift of things. It speaks badly of the treatment of a venerable and upright citizen by his own party. But it shows the power of a political machine with shrewd engineers at the head of it.
SICKLY sentimentalists made some efforts last week to save the neck of Holmes, the champion murderer of this century, who confessed to the killing of a score or more of persons. Such persons are cranks and fools to the last degree. An imprisonment for life in a penitentiary would even be a menace to the country while such a beast lived with the chances of a reprieve being given him, or an escape from prison some time. The way the world was this week ridden of him at Philadelphia was the moBt sensible thing to do
HAVKKAYKK, head of the hugar Trust of anything but sweet memory, has given a half million dollars to Columbia College. This is about one-twentieth of what the McKinley Monstrosity enabled him as an alleged infant pauper to extori from tho people of the United States. It is about one-tenth of what ho has been able to extort from the public by reason of tho amendment to the Wilson bill made in tho senate by a few venal democrats and the solid republican vote.
