Not ona of then would \ oare tA accept a nomlnallno on a plat' form declaring for tha free and unllmlt:\ ed coinage of silver. Aa the national V'convention la more than likely to pronounce for ire* silver no one of them la available. ramnhelL hflvamr. lfl I avaOabte Hs Is the very man the party has bMQ ml tins for. He ha* 00 (IxjJ -political principles; neither bu the party?and consequently they are well i> raited to each other. Dome yean ago i Mr. Campbell waa a protectionist member of Owiimi -that tu before he (Ml from (nee and beaame a Democrat. -Afterward he was the Democratic can. ' dldate (or governor of Ohio, and ran on i\?.tee trade platform. In 1M1 be waa h ' candidate (or sovemor on a free coinage platform. and In hla stamp spsechcs eloquently depicted the beam tea of a :y- fifty cent dollar. In MM he waa again |f the Democratic candidate for governor, but Brtce had dictated the platform and waa putting up the campaign (and. and Mr. Campbell was a glided advocate of ' the gold standard. This is the record of the only man who . I* rstfly available?available because ' be can stand on any platform that the party pleases to construct. Tbs Democratic party has itself been on all sides of every publlo question. Just as Mr. Campbell hits been, and why shouldn't , it look In Ms direction? The party has bean for sound money, and now It Is going to be for free sliver; It used to be as much for protection aa anybody and dared any man to dispute It; now "-"I ka I* liaa >utan for a/ima v?ira past, for straight out free trade. 4t Is an erratic party and mu*t have an erratic leader. Where is there ono who oorm more nearly to the Deroorrallo Meal? Mr. Campbell can Ret vote* both going and coming. Am the candidate of the . Democratic party for President on a free silver platform he will be solid with the free coinage advocates. and at the aame time can hold the "fold bugs" In line by pointing to the fact that ho I* . Mr. Hi ice's candidate and by circulating the honest monev speeches he made last year. He can poll the v.>te of protectionists In the Democratic party by pointing to hlii record as a Republican member of Co-.gr*?a, and he con stand square with the free traders by recalling the fact thrt be ttrie* ran for governor of Ohio on a free trad* pis tform. Mr. Campbell Is, In short, ih" ld?*al can dldat" for the Democratic party thl* jrcnr. and wo ar* for hlr?.

Tha nam* of Weat Virginia wtU baa loos dlatano* down tha roll call, but aha waa one of the flrat In line tor the popular favorite. No IJmluttonft. The wonderful atrtclee that electricity has made of recent yean Is It* employment In the mechanical and domeetio affaire of the world leave* every thoughtful person la a state of imaumeet u to lta a till furthe# possibilities. Prof. Alexander Qraham Bell, the Investor of the telephone. Itself one of the marvels of thla marveloue age. Mid In speaklnr on thla subject: "If I were to give you my views on the possibilities of future development, I should probably be considered a visionary crank, as they are more optlmlstto than anything I have ever seen In print, and I prefer to keep them to myself. While I may never say In public, 1 told you so.' I shall at least hare the satisfaction, in my own mind, of ha vine foreseen the development ot the application of the sleoMosl current to the amelioration of the harsher conditions of life to a greater extent than has ever been outlined by the most visionary writers." Bow many yean ago baa It been since the proposition to run street cars by electricity was declared a vision and a dream? From what humble beginnings and crude contrlvanoea the present perfection baa been evolved by the masterful Ingenuity of maul The field for its application aeema almost lluilllasa In ho tint, confctng and the1 npetianlcai sciences. In the few Seating years yet alio ted to the prsatnt oentury we mar at their close look back and scoff at the comparative Immaturity of eleotrlcal aoleooe at the present hour.' The gentlemen who have been waging the unsuccessful war against McKlnlsy are rsoelvtng tome able aaslstsnne tram the pme of Great Britain. Our free trade cousins over the way do not want to eee McKlnley In tha presidential obalr, though they an moved by a different reason from that which Impeli the cotnblao In Its fight. The people of the country have not been Inclined to listen to either the oombln? or the British five trad* . A* Tssiisgi ?* Way. Not always, but In a laarvtlmsly fair proportion of oases wrong dotnjp brings Its suffering penalties In soma oeeee the world Is not advertised of the affair, the victim preferring to suffer In silence than betray himself by complaining. There was a peculiar case In New York tha other day, whero If the punishment was out of proportion to tha decree of tha crime. It goes to show tha truth of the statement that Uw way of tha.transgressor Is hard. In this case It was peculiarly severe. An Invalid saw a lonely bicycle standing In a door In an unprotected state, and ha coveted It. and coveting it be possessed himself of It, as bo thought the exercise would b* beneficial to his health. A few days after it was missed tha machine waa returned to ths owner by a small boy who lamented his rather bad taken It. remarking that on his Arst spin tor health ha broke his right arm. his left leg and ietoi?ed wounds all over his body. Ha must hava. collided with a "scorcher," stm ho had his onvMed ride, and covetousness, we understand. Is a sin. Those of us who remember our one hundredth birthday ars becoming few, even in this wonderful and progressive age. Still It Is pleasant to know through reports In tha press that soma hava not forgotten the day. Manrf Ih tt>? United ItaU*. The mo*t Interesting figures to flash on the record of the Democratic party Is the money per capita of population tn the country and the amount In circulation In the years 1WJ and 1*96. The comparative statements ehow the menagement of the finance* and the prosperity of the land In a very deplorable light Indeed. In lKt2, according to,the Economist the money In the United States per capita amounted to 136.21, the Unrest on record, and while the management of naUonaJ affairs was In the hands of the Republican* In IMS It was S34.M, less than In lift*, showing a Democratic decrease of SL83. In 1M2 the money In circulation In this country per head was 12144, likewise the highest on record, but In 11M the sum ha/1 dwindled to $22.96, which was lower than In IMS, exhibiting a Democratic fnlllnf^off of S1.4S. Still we ass told that the Democratlo party Is one that la capable of running this government These figures, and othera that might he cltcd, do not give any evidence of It Kudyu.nl Klpltnsr's sweet sequestered life In the vales of Vermont hns been dusturlwd by hie brother-in-law, who dUturb*d It r*al hard, too, according to th" evidence before the oourt He swore bin wife's brother called him n liar, chest and ouward, and threatened "to | uiuw tun h?iui uui, ii no main reirnri certain falec and nmllclouft atorlc# he circulated about him.

Everyone who baa read that moat dellgfctful of Dickens' works of (lotion David Copperfleld, will recall with mingled feelings of pleasure and humor the drat meeting between Copperfleld and hla eooentrlo but very worthy aunt. Mlaa Betaay Trotwood, and will remember what a factor the doc keys intruding on Miss Trot wood's preserves were In ravsallag to him the many aides to hla aunt's oharacter. In tfaia Incident that perpetual memorlaJlser, Mr, Dirk, and the tidy servant. Janet, play but ubordjnate parts. It waa at the Juncture In the etory where the youthful Copperfleld, wt>o bad run away from his step-fattier, had declared his Identity to hla aunt, and that good soul looking on hla travel-atalned garments and blistered feet, waa cogitating what should be dons with the runaway. Mr. Dick waa called In for counsel. "Now. here yuu aee young David Copperfleld, and the question I put to you Is, what shall I do with him?" "Why, U I was yon." said Mr. Dick. considering, Ul looking vacanuy at me. I "should?" The contemplation of me seemed to Inspire him with s udden Idea, and he added, briskly: "I should wash him." "Janet." said my aunt, turning around with a quiet triumph which I did not then understand. "Mr. Dtck KU ua alL right. Heat the bath." Quoting from Copperfleld: "Janet had gone away to get the bath ready, whon my aunt, to my great alarm, became In one moment rigid with Indignation. and had hardly voice to cry out 'JANET! DONKEYS!' The one great outrage of her life, demanding to be cotttantly avenged, was the passage of a donkey over that Immaculate spot" What la all this about? What to (he application?

Then came a presidential canvas*. The Donkeys wure In the distance braying ajruln. anl looking over the old tv-dge , fence of their mistakes and blunders to where the pleasant pastures lay. And | here we fall back on Copperfleld again I to tell the *t< ry, or to point the moral and ndorn the tale?of woe. His aunt. Miss Betsy, had made some strictures on his old nurse, Peggoty.and the poor child who loved, and was beloved by her was defending her. I quote htm In part: "1 broke down ns I was trying to any that her home was my home, and that I would have gone to her for shelter, but for her humble station. which made me fear 1 might bring some trouble ujon her?I broke down. I nay, as I was trying to say ho. and laid my face in my hands upon the table." "Well, well," said my luint, "the ehtld Is right to stsnd by tho*' who have stood by him?JANKT!
