The MtsKean crowd of Indiana were not iu thij^pushyt St. Louis to any great extent, j Thf K*sf nominated t he republican can-1 didates, b^t the West will not help elect! them. ■ Boss Hanna and Wall street had an easy time with the cut-and-dried convention at j fc?V Louis. . Tug question now ia: How d(*es Fanner ! Coats stand on the question of finance?! Gold or silver? gff™" L- J -LI }logA*T, the nominee for vice-president, is a corporation lawyer and railroad king. He » a director in a down or more railroad oori*jrati >ns.

Mask Haxna, McKinley's manager, has been selected as chairman of the republican national committee. Han da is the one-man-power of the republican party. The capitalists nominated their candidates for president and vice-president, but the people will elect a president and vicepresident, and their names will not be McKinley and Hohart. Ths silver men who bolted the St Louis platform have issued an address to the peoSe, and present Senator Teller as a suitae candidate for the presidency to make Hie fight against Wall street. Sii.vkk stood about as much show at St. Jjouis as an icicle in harvest time. The gang pounced down on the silverites and and fired them out of the oouvention. And uotr they're sorry that they done it Colorado, Idaho. Montana, Utah, South Pakota and other western state* will not be found in the republican electoral column at the November elect ion. Wall street and the monopolist* hare forced them out. The republican platform means that the money shall be gold and that all bonds issued must be }>aid in the yellow metal. \'ou fellows that have been talking about paying the bonds in other money, what do you think of it now ? Bit little enthusiasm is shown in this locality over the result of the republican national convention. Some express themselves as satisfied with the nominees but with a single standard they can never support the ticket. The voters in Pike county are in favor of the double standard. They are not in favor of allowing the foreign powers to dictate on the. money question. The year book of the DePauw university is out and the statist n* o( enrollment show that during there has been an increase in tb«* attendance of student*. At the beginning of the year there seems bo have been a falling off as compared with the preceding year, but after the holidays there was a very large increase in the enrollment, so that the number of students aggregate* . more than for the previous year. Jobj* Clam Ridfath, the distinguished historian, in the course of an article inj the Arena, on the money question, puts it both forubly aud logically wheu he aays: **The demonetization of silver in 1§78, was I an act which, though subsequently defended, even to U»e present day, by the purchased ability of the world, is nevertheless condemned by the conscience and common sense of mankind as most cold blooded, 1 uncalled for, unmitigated and damnable putrage ever done ^n this country to the tights and interest^ of a great people." ,

That the leaders of the republican party and the porporation managers combined with Wall street, made the platform there is no question. It stands for gold aud gold alone with a big G. Here is the money plank pf the platform as adopted at the St. Louis convention: The republican party is unreservedly for sound money. It caused the enactment of the 'law providing for the resumption of specie payments in 1879; since then every uollar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably oppoaed to every measure calculated to debase our currency oy impair the credit of our oountry. We are therefore opposed to the free coinage of silver except or international agreement with the leading' commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained, the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper | currency must be maintained at parity with ! gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the obligations of the United States and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth. The Jasper Herald jumps at conclusions when it remarks that only twenty-five persons took part in the nominating of the democratic county ticket of Pike. The editor says he is so informed by persons who attended the convention. Of course there was but little balloting. It was not necessary. There was but one oontest to settle and that for the nomination for re- j confer. It was a convention in which all had an opportunity to take part, and was 1 not a cut-and-dried affair as was the judgeship controversy, in which the “ring”’ of Jasper has been out-generated

Thk enthusiastic display of lack of enthusiasm is already made the subject of explanation. People, it appears were so certain l»eforehand that McKinley would be the nominee that they could not be expected to show joy and appreciation when their expectation was realised. No one is ever hilariously glad, you know, when he gets what he wants and has earnestly hoped and expected to get—well for those that are satisfied with that sort of explanation to satisfy them.—Indianapolis News. The bolt of the silver men means a loss of many votes to the republican party. There are some republicans who do not underestimate the danger of the bolt. They are men who are not relying on newspapers for their information. They have been getting it directly from the people—from farmers, mechanics, .laborers in fhe mines and shops, and they know something of the feeling that pervades in many sections of the country. Six states IkjJUxI the republican national convention. Among the leaders who walked out of the convention were Senator Teller of Colorado, Senator Dubois of Idaho, Senator Cannon of Utah, Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota, and Congressman llartman of . Montana, Allen aud Kearns of Utah. Cleveland and Stratton of Idaho, and dozens more of prominent men of the solid republican states of the West. No Mistaking the issue Now. We have seen stranger things at St. Louis than have ever beeu witnessed at any national convention before. It cannot be possible that with such a leader as McKinley and such a record as has just been made, republicanism can triumph at the November polls. When a party reaches the point in its cai^er where ..it consumes days in solemn conferences between its leaders as to what language can be used that will most certainly deceive the electorate, and when its candidate is forced upon the party by a syndicate seeking reimbursement of moneys advanced by its members to pay the debts Of that candidate, the end is near. It has reached the point where it is nothing more titan a commercial agent, a sort of a politi

cal broker. The republican party is weaker today than when it assembled in convention on Tuesday. It is weaker not only because a large number of delegates rose after lha adoption of the platform and left the, convention and the party forever, but for the reason that it has challenged the democracy to a contest for which it is ready and anxious. The gaonlet which the St.° Louis convention has thrown down will be taken up by the convention which will meet in Chicago on July 7th. At last the issue between democracy and republicanism is plain, Jet us thank the St. Louis convention for that. If it had strad-j dkd the coinage question there might still have been those who would have found excuses for remaining in the party with which they have always acted. The declaration at Chicago would be the same in any event for the delegates already elected to that convention make it certain that the platform will demand the free and 1 unlimited coinage of stiver as well as gold \ at the ratio of 16 to 1. But if the St. Louis ! convention had hesitated or quibbled there j could not have been the same satisfaction * in the victory which now seems certain for ; the democracy. It b the single gold! standard which means Wall Street’s: interests or the free and unlimited coinage; of both silver and go^ji which means the people's interests, an$ we believe the victory will* be with the. peopl^.—Evansville • Courier.

J!«w for Chicago. Now that the republican hurly-burly is ovwr, attention will center on the Chicago convention, which meets July 7. Thpee things in regard to that convention may be accepted as 'settled. The platform will declare explicitly and unequivocally for the free coinage ojf silver at the ratio of 16 tp 1. The nominee of the convention will he an showed free silver man. And! he trill be a democrat, Jf wise counsels prevail, the platform j adopted and the candidates selected will be sqch as all the opponents of the republican gold standard policy can honorably accept. The great issue to be determined by the! campaign is the money question. In the ! platform it should be recognized as paramount, and all other questions as subordinate. Supjiorters of honest bimetallism may differ on other questions. They will! differ especially as to the tariff, as to banks and as to the government’s relation to money. If, in spite of these differences, all those who believe that Jhe prosperity and happiness of the (leopil depend upon defeating the plutocratic effort to fasten upon the country the single gold standard will act and vote together, they will win one of j the most signal victories in the history of j American j*>litics.

inert* is ;no doubt that Hanna and the other republican bosses comprehend this fully. They rely for success upon divisions in the ranks of their opponents. They will see that as many tickets as possible are placed in the field. They will furnish all the money required for multiplying the tickets. In fact they will cheerfully bear all the campaign expenses if only they can accomplish this. It is danger of a division of forces that must be carefully guarded against. By reason of iits history, its rank and its numbers the democratic party must lead the fight against gold monometallism, ft must furnish a large majority of the votes if a victory is to be won, and it must hold thole votes through its party organization. More votes than its own are needed, however, and all reasonable concessions must be made in order to obtain them. This is poliey. At this juncture it is also patriotism.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Posey on McKinley. A telegram from St. Louis to the Cincinnati Enquirer of last week, says: Prank Ponay, who was a reeent candidate for governor, came over from Evansville this morning to look at the convention, but he had not been here fifteen minutes until he said he was ready to go home. “It is McKinley, but I don’t like the prospect,” he said. 1 ‘I would prefer Reed or Harrison. McKinley is not big enough for president, but I suppose I will have to go on the stump and talk for him. 1 have had but little use for McKinley since my congressional contest. I made the issue before the committee on the illegality of certain Catholic votes. I lost because McKinley, who was on the committee, said that nothing ought to be done to antagonize the Catholics. 1 have been quiet but I could have given the A. P. A.'s enough to raise the hair off McKinley’s head. McKinleys influence, too, turned down Stanton J, Peele, vyhen Will English contested his election to congress. McKinley had a contest of his own at the time, and to save himself with a democratic majority, favored English. A few more days and McKinley could be defeated, but we will not have a few more days.”

Any one should make from five to eight dollars a day selling cream, and from seven to ten dollars selling freezers, as it is such a wonder, there is always a crowd wauting cream. You can freeze cream elegantly in oue minute and that astonishes people so they all want to taste it and then many of them buy freezers as the cream is smooth and perfectly frozen. Every freezer is guaranteed to freeze the cream perfectly in one minute. Any one can sell ice cream and the freezer sells itself, My sister makes from ten to fifteen dollars a day, J. F.

Iullix B. The Nicholson Law Valid. The supreme, court last Friday decided the consolidated liquor eases involving the constitutionality of what is known as the Nicholson law. The law is found to be valid. It provides that liquor selling may not be carried on in the same room with other bmiiness,, and gives the county commissioners discretion to inquire into circumstances ia passing on application for license. The court holds that the remonstrance feature of the law, which the liquor people denounced as virtual local option, is valid. Remonstrances must be special against applicants and not general, but signatures do remonstrances may not be withdrawn when the case has not been submitted. Tmir Boy Wont Lire a Month.

Washington letter. (Prom our ngalu correspondent.; Washixgtox, June 22d, 1896. While it is uow conceded by everybody that the silver men will have a majority in the Chicago convention which will almost, if not (juite, reach the two-thirds necessary to nomiuate; it is being asserted in Washington with much positiveness that concessions will be made for the sake of harmony {o the sound money democrats. The general impression seems to be that these concessions, if made at all, will be in the selection of the head of the ticket and uot in the fihancial plank of the platform, which is expected to be in favor of the free and independent coinage of silver at 16 to 1. The populists and free silver republicans are making a great deal of noise on behalf of Senator Teller as the candidate of the Chicago convention. Should Teller be nominated he would be loyally supported by the party, but there are few democrats who •enthuse over the idea. The average democrat thinks the prize is too big to be awarded to the man who bolted the republican convention with tears in his eyes, upon the single issue of silver, and who is still in accord with that party on every* other issue. Some of the old-timers do not hesitate to say that they would rather be defeated under a Simon-pure, dyed-in-the-wool democrat, than to win under Teller. In fact, the prevalence of this sentiment is so general that few democrats are disposed to regard seriously the probability qf the nom

ination of Teller by the Chicago convention. That the contest at Chicago both over the platform ami the ticket will be one of the livliest in the history of the democratic party, seems certain, but it is going to be fought out in the convention and talk of bolting is no longer heard from either side. Not a few democrats regard the ringing speech for democratic harmony made by ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio, at the big democratic day celebration under the auspices of the inter-state democratic association of this city, as the opening gun of the presidential campaign. Pension Commissioner Murphy presided over the meeting which was large and enthusiastic. Gov. Campbell was in tiptop condition, and his old-fashioned, straight-from-tbe-shoulder democratic speech seemed to just fit the humor of his hearers. Many who shook hands with Gov. Campbell assured him that they hoped he would be nominated for president by the Chicago convention. He said lie didn't expect to be, but that he was always willing to serve the party, anywhere. Many republicans admit that the nomination of Gov. Campbell by the democrats would put Ohio iu the doubtful column with the chances against McKinley. Senator Stewart of Nevada, who is, of Course, one of the Teller boomers, says if tire democrats won't have Teller they can still get the indorsement of the populisH and silver parties by nominating ex-Con-gressman Sibley of Pennsylvania. Wonder if it occurs to any of these gentlemen that the democrats might like to make their own nomination for the presidency? The trouble with McKinley and Hobart is that the first named is too well known to arouse anything even resembling enthusiasm. No republican ticket since Hayes and Wheeler has fallen flatter than McKinley and Hobart. The fact that Hanna has; had himself made chairman of the republican national committee and vested with the authority to select the executive committee, which has entire charge of the camjfiaign, was not calculated to make any republican, except those in the Hanna ring, hilarious with joy. This extraordinary authority, demanded and obtained by Hanna, has never been wielded by ailv other chairman of that committee, and its exercise is not calculated to make friends for McKinley among those republicans who h»ve usually had a hand in managing their party's national campaigns. Mr. Hanna has proven that he could do the bossing and the buy- _ ing in a campaign for the nomination, but he has yet to prove what he can do in a campaign forelection, and the more republican euetnies he makes, the more he adds

to the chances lor the defeat of his ticket. Senator Hill was a true prophet when ho said just before the adjournment of congress that there would be no tariff legislation by j either the fifty-fourth or the fifty-fifth congress, although it was not so apparent then j as it has been since- the formal withdrawal from the republican party of four Seuators Teller, Cannon, Dubois and Pettigrew. During the session of congress just closed, the republicans lacked one of baring a majority in the senate; these withdrawals make them lack five and make it reasonable certain that there will be ho tariff legislation until after March 4th, 1899, if then. The Oakland City Journal, an independ-j ent republican journal, is something of a silver advocate itself and speaks thus of the! action jf the senators ami others that | walked out of the St. Loois convention: It is not strange that Senator Teller and j other silver advocates should leave tile re- j publicau party when it adopted a gold j platform. They could not be consistent; and honest tneu to vote for a measure they j have -o earnestly fought. The Journal: brands them as brave men, every one of them. E. k I. Excursion Bales.
