POLITICAL POINTERS.
Senator Lee Mantle of Montana says
that Senator Teller should be nominated
for the Presidency by the Democrats at
Chicago. When asked if he was in full
sympathy with the silver men who "
walked out of the St. Louis Convention,
the Senator replied that he certainly
was.
The A r knight Club of Boston, com
posed of the treasurers and selling
agents of all the cotton mills in New
England, have decided on a curtailment
of production, the action being intended,
it is said, to forestall any action looking
to free silver by the Democratic Con
vention at Chicago.
A special session of the Wisconsin
Legislature may be called because of a
decision invalidating the faicorporation
acts of villages created since 1858.

has issued this notice: M The committee
selected by the Bepublicwa nstinsaal
convention to notify WQnam McKinley
of his nomination fbr President wiH
meet at Cleveland, Ohio,- June- SBth,
and proceed by special . train ' on the
morning of June 29th to Canton, Ohio.
The train will return to Cleveland the
afternoon of the same day.'
Senator Thomas" H. Carter of Mon
tana held a consultation with Senator
Lee Mantle at Chicago, which is said to
have dealt with the prospects of secur
ing an indorsement of Senator ; Teller's
candidacy at the approaching conven
tion. Senator Carter said in case the
Democrats put up a man whom the sQ
yer people could conscientiously sup
port Senator Teller would' probably
withdraw.
Ihe members of the notification
committee all assembled at Cleveland
with the exception . of Rogers of Utah,
who telegraphed that he could not
come.. . The committee went to Canton.
Monday morning. ' Senator Thurston,
chairman of the committee, said: "I .
do not thiuk there is any question that
McKinley will win a great victory, but
by what plurality I cannot estimate. ' I
think we. will lose Co orado, Utah, Ne
vada, Idaho and Montana on accounk
of silver- I do not think we can
save them. The rest of the western
states will wheel into line for McKin-,
ley. I think the fight will shortly set
tle down aad the tariff will force the

tors Teller and Dubois will be re-elected
on the silver ticket. It is rather sig

not ap for another term.
