In on'H of hi.s recent nerinons at.
lloiifiton, Texas, Sam .lonus said that
"he could tako a handful of niokles,
lay them ten feet apart and toll all
lloutflon into bell." Figuratively
Bpeaking, Sain must bo "old harry"
hiintelf to exercise such power over
such a host of winners.
Tin: wind bag is not a Cleveland
man, as is evident from bis last effort
at trying to say something. Tho fact
is he don't know what ho is, but fiom
tint tone of his oil'iision wo infer that
be would not support Cleveland should
bo receive the nomination for president
of tho United States. This would be
sad indeed, and wo are in hopes the
national democratic convention will
nwt bear of Mac's opposition, for there
seems to be no doubt but that body
will place Orover Cloveland in nomi
nation at tho next convention, and it
would bo too bad, indeed, for him lo
Miller defeat at the bands of such a
wind bag as Mac.
Laht week twenty wagons loaded
with wool left tho valley in one train.
The greatest number of wagons that
have ever passed through the canyon
at one time. The sight was a remind
er of forty-nine. Wallowa Signal.
This wool and the many loads that
pass through Union to bo shipped
away should slop right hoio at home
and be manufactured into cloth and
sold to our farmers, saving them the
high freight rates in shipping out tin
wool and on tho return of tho manu
factured goods. Whon will our citi
zens wako up to a realization of those
facts? 13 von a wool booming plant
would bo a great bonolit to sheep
raisers and would no doubt pay a good
dividend on tho money invested. We
need u woolen mill to furnish a homo
market for the products f tho county.
When will wo have it?
Tin: silver question is one upon
which both tho groat political parties
are divided and it will not bo the main
issue in the coming campaign. Tho
turiir question is of more importance
to the people in general and will re
ceive the first consideration. If the
national democratic convention should
conclude to introduce a free coinage
plank in the platform, it will no doubt
meet with the approval of Cloveland
or any other man who receive tho
nomination. Cloveland is a man who
docs not fear to express his opinion
upon any subject, and has done so
upon tho tariff question, the mlvor
quostiou and many other ini'iortniit
issues, In doing this ho lias not only
gained the love and high esteem in
which ho is hold by the democratic
party, but has many admirers in tho
republican parly. In this free Ameri
can country men have a right to ex
press their opinions and tho man who
is afraid to do this should not leooive
the support of any true American citi
zen. The democratic )mity is with
Cleveland on the Urilf question and be
will no doubt be with the jmrty on the
silver question. He i tho choice of

Til II IOWA CONVHNTION.
The Iowa democraiic stale conven
tion convened at Ottumwa last Wcd
neday and nominated a state ticket.
Kyery county in the state was repre
sented and groat enthusiasm prevailed.
Gov. Horace V. I5oiec was renominated
by acclamation amid great cheorc.
The entire ticket was nominated in
harmony nnd tho democrats have no
fenr but tboy will be elected. The
sentiment of tho convention was in
favor of Clovoland for President, with
Uoixo for the second place on the
ticket. Deafening cheers rang out
thiough the hall whenever Cleveland's
name wan mentioned. An excellent
and Htrong platform was adopted, fa
voring in subitnnce tho following
principles :
The repeal of tho prohibitory law
and tho onactmont of a carefully
guarded license law.
The full and equal taxation of every
species of property after allowing tho
present exemptions as fixed by law.
The Australian ballot system of
voting.
The election of U. S. senators by a
direct vote of tho people.
Tho free coinage of silver and that
it be mado the legal lender for tho
payment of all debts.
.hist, liberal and equitable pension
laws for all invalid and dependent
soldiers and sailors, their widows and
orphans.
That all unearned railroad land
grants be reclaimed by the gener
al government and held for actual
settlement.
"On behalf of our laboring and pro
ducing nuist-os wo renew that devotion
to their inteiosts which has always
been a fundamental doctrine and prac
tice of tho democratic party. Wo
favor all other fair and lawful methods
by which labor may secure laws estab
lishing free public employment agen
cies and adequate compensation, un
diminished by any desiro for the
enrichment of tho few at tho expense
of the armies of toilers. And wo con
demn tho practice of importing con
tract labor for work in mines or else
where." The platform denounces "all trusts,
pools and combines, and favors such
action, State and National, as will for
feit to 1 1 10 public all franchises and
property made uso of by corporations
or others to form trusts in manufact
ures, trado or commerce to tho injury
and spoilatifiii of tho people; and also
to insure the punishment criminally
of tho individuals thus conspiring
against the public weal. Tho demo
cratic parly declares that in tho divis
ion of tho product of labor anil capital,
labor does not receive its fair propor
tion." It denounces "the iUelvinloy bill,
the motives of its authors and defend
ers, and tho theory under which it is
submitted for the approval of tho
American people. We demand equal
opportunities for every section of our
country and for every citizen; and o
insist that every oppressive feature of
the birilf bo eliminated to the end that
our merchant marine may bo restored
to tho sea and the markets of the world
opened to the producing countries.
Tho sugar bounty is not a tarilf. It is
spoliation of the treasury for special
classes and interests which are no
more entitled to bo aided by tho gov
ernment than the farmers of Iowa in
raising bogs and corn, or the pioneer
settlers of tho frontier in the hardships
and sulfoiiugs as tho vanguards of
civilisation,"
It denounces "the wasteful and lav
ish appropriation of tho last congress,
which in tinu of profound poaeo ex
ponded an amount equal to one-third
the total public debt incurred in four
years of unparalleled war for tho pres
ervation of the Union."
It opposes the "nonresident alien
owenership of lands and of foreign syn
dicate ownership of our industries."
Till! I'l.l' I'OCKAl'V AT IIAV.
The campaign that has just begun
in Ohio is by far the most important
that will be fought this year, unless
Governor Hill should accept a third
nomination in New York, in the
nomination of 4Mr. Molvinloy the pro
tooted intorttetd have staked all their
future prospect upon a single throw.
The democrat in this eoutet occupy
tho agieottblt 'knit ion of having every
thing to win mid nothing to lose. If
they should bout .McKinley, which is
hardly to bo hoped, the presidential
election would practically b settled
j in ndauie. If tluy should fail, tboy

McKinlcy must be elected, and elected
by a rousing majority, if the protect
ive system is to have a chance of sur
vival. He has identified bis name as
closely with tho Chinese-wall tariff
policy of today as the name of Henry
Clay was identified with the moderate
tariff idea of fifty years ago. He is a
candidate in a State which is normally
republican by 110,000 majority. To
have him beaten would be a disaster
which would be cheaply averted at a
cost of $ 10,000,000.
The ubsolute necessity of a brilliant
success is thoroughly realized. If the
most faithful and most conspicuous of
all the servants of the Plutocracy
should fail to win a contest in which
ho starts with the odds of .'50,000 votes
in his favor, there would be a stampede
of shifty politicians from a cause sb
obviously 'doomed to failure. No man
of political ambition would support a
policy whoso unpopularity would blast
all his hopes of advancement. Tho
Plutocracy must show that it can pro
tect its agents. When it takes tho
aspiring politician up into a high
mountain and exhibits to him all tho
kingdoms of the earth, with a promise
to give them to him if he will servo it,
it must bo able to prove that it can de
liver tho goods.
The course of the Columbus conven
tion indicates the tremendous elfort
that is to bo mado to give McKinlcy a
sensational majority. What it cost to
procure the scmblanco of harmony
there exhibited, it would tax tho imag
ination to realize. That Sherman,
Grosvenor and lluttcrworth regard
Foraker as a suborner ot forgery and
an all round rascal is a matter of pub
lic record. That Foraker regards, or
protends to regard, thorn as men who
would accept money to influence their
votes in congress is also a matter of
record. If a republican convention
had been held in Ohio six months ago
no power could have prevented the in
troduction of the Grosvenor report on
tho Foraker ballot-box forgery scandal,
and an immediate explosion. It must
have been tremendous pressuro that
not only suppressed all reference to
tho feud, but compelled 1'oraker and
Sherman to appear on the same plat
form. As tho campaign has boon begun it
will bo carried on. Everything will bo
subordinated to tho one object of sue-
.... , !... f . 1.
cess. 1 no protected lnuusiriua oi mu
whole United States will bo taxed to
keep tho workers in funds. Contribu
tions and speakers will bo poured into
Ohio from the outside until the State
will bo ono vast reservoir of talent and
wealth. Workers in tho factories will
bo wheedled and bullied. Tho State
will bo piled knee deep with imagina
tive literature. If with all this and
tho normal republican majority in
Ohio to bank on, the Plutocracy can
not make McKinlcy governor by an
imprchsivo majority, the president and
senate mav as well content to the re
peal of tho tarilf of 1S'.)0 without wait-

A Piiii.ADKi.rniA paper states that a
phonogroph has been employed lo
catch tho utterances of monkeys in
the belief that they have some sort of
language that may bo developed and
interpreted. Whon tho phonograph
repeated it, tboy clustered around and
looked for tho monkey that was talk
ing. It is expected to trace tho lan
guage up through tho dudes and
dudines to rational speech.
It is said that for tho first eighteen
days of the present month tho pension
payments alone exceeded tho entire
revenues of the government, leaving
less than nothing lo meet tho other
expenses incurred by the Hilliou-Dol-lar
congress. At that rate Mr. Harri
son will not have time to move out of
the White House before the creditors
of the United States are clearing out
tho furniture at sheiiirs sale.
It is stated as a singular fact that
in liostou, when the law allowed per
sons to drink only when seated at a
table, everybody wanted to stand at a
bin. Now that the law is repealed,
people would rather tit down to take
their medicine. That is the usual
way with human nature. People
don't can much for indulgences that
