Mr. Cleveland’s firm stand for free coal is, doubtless, due, in a large degree, to the fact that his personal and political friends would profit enormously by the free admission of Nova Scotia coal. Can it be that bis anxiety for free iron has a similar origin? It has tenme to light that the Cuban iron mines are controlled by the Bethlehem Iron Company and the Pennsylvania Steel Company, both of which were liberal contributors to the Democratic campaign fund in 1892, —Indianapolis Journal.

The official call for the electic n of delegates to the Republican congressional convention appears in this issue. Thei apportionment <1 legates in thjs county, and

the division into delegate districts together with the places of meeting, arei-the same as in the primaries for the former convention, except in the townships of Carpenter aml-Marion,—in-each of which the method of electing each delegate separately requires each precinct to meet by itself. These various places of meeting are specified in the call.

Senator Gorman, democratic leader,, says of the President’s letIn patriotism the democrats of the Senate had gone to work to save the country, to keep their party in power, when suddenly, in the midst of the struggle, there came the President’s letter. It was the most uncalled for, the most extraordinary, the most unwise communication “that ever came from a President of the United States. It placed this body in a position where I must tell the story as it occured. The limit of endurance has been reached.
