Mfcjy Connecticut Against Repntllnllon.
i"wiK
fei Tho town elections la Connecticut on
fi Monday Indicate that that State is going to
'$, roll up a large majority against JJltrAls-and
ffi Repudiation.
r$Tl Of course merely local issues influenced
W' tho result to a greater or less extent, but
S ho expcrlenco of past Presidential cam-
t patgns has been that these town elections
f show accurately the drift of public sentl-
if merit in the State, anil prefigure the result
M .- In November.
$ In 1894, when tho Republican party was
S sweeping nil before it, a Hcpubllcan raa-
Jorlty of more thiin 17,000 in the State was
indicated by the carrying of a large major-
., " Ity of these town elections In October. The
H Republican victory on Monday was far
g" more decisive, and It presages n majority
, , for McKlNLET that will exceed 80,000 and
3 probably reach 30,000, even if it does not
I' go beyond that total.
i, '' Both tho agricultural and manufacturing
Interests of Connecticut declare their oppo-
?' sltlon to Hepudiatlon and their detestation
I of It. The State joins with Vermont and
;; . Maine in the manifestation of a patriotic
& , revulsion ngiinst destructive Bryanism,
A . without regard to past lines of partisan scp-
m arntlon. Connecticut is honest. It is true.
Kf It is faithful to tho principles of political
F and social order and morality, upon which
ji this republic rests, and must rest.
j The I'hnntom of Itpjrularlty.
. There are many good people, who have
2 long leen ndhercnts of the Democratic
Iff" pnrty, vv ho propose to vote for the BRTAX
Id? electors this jear, not because they like
'J; IlIlTAN or his platform, but solely for the
,5 rnkc of being regular in politics. They are
not in favor of a silver standard or of any
S' of the Populistlc notions which prevailed at
If Chicago; but they have an idea that they
t will put themselves forever outside the pale
f of the Democracy unles they support the
V Chicago ticket. "Next year, or the year
-tt after, or at all events by tho year 1000,"
j they say, " the storm will have blown over,
the members of the party who are now at
J -'" variance will have harmonized their differ
JV 1 ences, nnd wc desire to be among those who
'. 1 have always remained faithful to the organ
ic ization, nltbough it lias seemed to have tem-
i porarlly abandoned Democratic doctrine."
j- But this hope of union in the future has
F ) . Tery little to rest upon.
or " There can never be any real harmony, nor
any lasting compromise, between honesty
nnd dishonesty.
A If those persons who have hitherto been
K. Democrats, but now advocate the issue of a
Y dishonest dollar, shall hereafter realize thnt
W ' they have been wrong and return to the old
camp of the true Democracy, then we shall
W have a reunited party. Unless this hap-
jf V pens, the path of the Bryanite and the path
3j' of the sound-money Democrat will never
irxome together.
V,:'R3k2nly way to be regular in the long
run Isty-be right. Any other sort of regu-,-
larlty is a political ohantom; and the pur-
1 , suit of this phantom may lead many a
5 , former Democrat to his political grave.

Cj The Tammany Candidates fop Con-
-t,J Rrens Vote Theiu All Down !
3 The Tammany nominations for Congress-
C' men are complete. In nine city districts
Sf ninecandidatesrepresentingTammanynall,
J Free Silver, Repudiation, and National DIs-
?i honor are In the field, within range of the
(t ballots of honest Democrats. There is no
doubt as to the direction in whirh these
jt bonct Democratic otes should be aimed.
3 They should be niraeit in every district at
'& . the Tammany candidate. Vote against
& every onp of them! Spare no one of them
'J for the sake either of past associations or of
a previous good record. Not a man of them
.7 deserves to go hack to 'Washington. Not an
Individual among Dycm should be permitted
k to misrepresent this mighty metropolis by
J crying Repudiation and advocating Fraud
K In tho name of New York in the white-
r domed Capitol
. In the Seventh district, now represented
1 by Fran'KLiV Baktlett, Tammany has
.jj. nominated Ex-Assemblyman Veiisi.aoe.
JS The united vote of the friends of honest
5t money will lie cast against Veiislaoe aud
tfor BAr.TLETT's return to the House. He Is
entitled to a triumphant reelection. The
!L. echoes of Brtax'b speech at Chicago had
'f "icarcely subsided before Congressman
Bahtxett, himself a Tammany delegate to
-? the Convention, took his stand for the right
-$ and against the wrong. He did not hesitate
s an instant. He has not wavered a hair's
S, breadth since then. He Is a man worthy to
f apeak for the people of New York in the
jj Fifty-fifth Congress.
In the Eighth district, vote down Jambs
J, Walsh of Tammany, and elect a sound-
money Representative in the person of
$ Jons Ml-risat Mitchell. Republican.
A In the Ninth, vote down Thomas J. Brad-
a LEV. the Tammany and free-silver man, and
ijj elect our old and always interesting friend,
the Hon. Timotht J. Campbell. Tim Camp-
fy BELL is sound on the money question; and
jH be has the well-deserved support of the
jj National Democrats and of the Repub-
Ilcans combined.
j ( In tho Tenth, vote down Amos J. Cum-
h'f Wisos, because ho has shown himself this
$i year to be smaller and more subservient
than the pigmies who are now running tho
s Tammany organization. He knows better,
S but he mode haste to give himself away.
He is net a man fit to speak for New York
V In the Fifty-fifth Congress.
Pi In the Eleventh district, vote down the
-; Tammany nominee, the pestiferous SDLZEH,
fe and vote him down with a vengeance. He
r$ la a particularly offensive specimen of the
r Brvan type of demagogue, and New York
ii city has no further use for him. Fortu-
j nntely, the political conditions in SCLZEB'8
X district are such that he can be suppressed
jK this year without much trouble.
I?" In the Twelfth, ote down Col. Geokok
fc B. MlCLEILAX. Ho Is too feeble n
w youth for nn important post in troublous
times. Although professing to be a sound-
M money Democrat, he has sought and ob-
jj tallied a Tammany nomination by the
fj Thacherlan method. This Is no year for
j! ' tolerating political weaklings. The Na-
i tlunal Democrats In the Twelfth made a
J mistake In endorsing the Tammany nomi-
Y nation of Col McClellan, on the shallow
pretence that the voungman has not actually
accepted the Chicago platform. That mis-
I take should be corrected, If not formally, at
;" least by the individual action of hones t-
i money Democrats in the district.
p In the Thirteenth, Ttdowa the nnknown
k
Tammany Smitti, and make as large aa
possible the majority of the present Repub
lican Concresxman for this district, Rtcn-
AnD CCTTS SI1AXK05.
Tho same In the Fourteenth. The re
election of Congressman Quioo, Republican,
should be rendered certain by the concen
tration of honest-money votes, regardless of
party, and likewise regardless of the foot
that the National Democrats have n can
didate in the field. Lose not a vote, but cast
every one to smosh Jons Qtnxor Adams,
the Tammany nominee.
In the Fifteenth district the National
Democrats have endorsed the Republican
renomlnation of the present member, Philip
B. Low ; and here honest-money voters have
plain sailing. They have only to vote for
Low and against William H. llCRKt, the
Tammany candidate.
Every Tammany candidate for Congress,
excepting poor Col. McClkllak, stands
squarely on tho Tammany platform, which
is the Chicago platform. If any one of them
pretends thnt such Is not the case, and that
he is better than the organization which
Siiekiiax has now thoroughly Bryonlzed,
that candidate is a humbug to be suspected
and avoided by all straightforward citizens.
It will be misfortune to New York and to
tho country if a slnglo Tammany candidate
for Congress is elected to the Fifty-fifth
Congress. Vote them all down 1
Gaynor on Bimetallism.
An essay upon bimetallism, addressed by
the Hon. W. J. Gatxor to one of bis friends,
appeared in yesterday's newspapers. It
contains nothing In the way of argument
that has not been repeated many times dur
ing the campaign in behalf of sliver, both
in Europe and in this country, and it also
contains several misstatements of fact,
which have llkowlse been often repeated
and as often refuted.
Judge GAVNOR starts out with the asser
tion that a rising standard of value Is an
eil to all but thoso who have money owing
to them, and declares that "the rise In the
value of gold slnco 1S73, and the consequent
addition to all fixed charges and debts, and
fall of the money price of commodities,
have mailc a long period of falling mnrktt
and hard times; nr.d the end of it Is not in
sight, and, it would seem. Is not to come, I
venture to sny with deference, until the
joint standard is restored."
The answer to all this Is, simply, that It
is not true. The fall In the money prices of
commodities ceased long ago, and no res
toration of the joint standard is necessary
to end it. Here are some figures, taken
from the tables annually published by the
London .Economlcf, giving tho wholesale
prices of twenty-two commodities In the
London market reduced to the common de
nomination of 100:
Jan. f. fill. Jan. f, um. Jm. I, iik.
CoffM . Hi 16S ITJ
Tobacco SIS Ull J31
Butch.r-i mtmt 104 las , 138
Wool to 1J0 9S
Tlratxr u 73 Us
leather Ill mo 139
Coppr so 0 sit
Iron i tot 73
Total Index No . t 023 2.533 1,809
These figures prove, not only that the
average price of twenty-two leading com
modities is but a trifle less than it was ten
years ago being 1 ,009 last January agains t
8,023 on Jan. 1, 18B but that the prices of
seven articles are higher than they were
ten ears ago. They also show that, in the
four years from 1880 to 1800, the average
of prices rose nearly 10 per cent.
Judge Gatxor also adopts without qual
ification the theory of the alternate stand
ard, which in this country is championed
by Gen. Francis A. Walker:
"Tha lueceMfa working- of the Joint cold sad lllver
standard from lu beglnnlnc up to 197Swai ai fol
Iowa. Each metal being- legal tinder, wbeti one fell
below the other In market value. dbton sought It to
pa- tbetr debtH with thereby raising- Its value by mak
ing a drmand for It. and at the same time lessening
the value of the other by making a lack of demand for
It. which Inevitably brought the two metals forthwith
to their mint rarity again In the market.
SomeUmes go'd fell, and sometimes silver, but this
automatic system, controlled solely by economic law
and force, at ouch balanced tbem to their Joint level,
thereby maintalniLg the roost stable money standard
which the world has ever haa This Is a matter of
actual experience and history. Linked together by
law as Joint legal tender, whichever metal tend"!
to rise or fall at a given time by reason of the eco
nomic law of supply and demand, was held down or
tip by the other through the operation of that same
economic law."
The Judge evidently believes that the
medium commonly used for the payment of
debts is metallic money, and that debtors,
when they want to pay their creditors,
scrape together the actual coin for the pur
pose. The fact is, that, except in remote
parts of this country and in the settlement
of International balances, coin is little used,
nor Is It used in Europe except for small
transactions. In times of panic. Indeed,
creditors demand coin, or currency as good
as coin, but such times are rare and estab
lish no rale. Experience shows that where
two standards of value are recognized by
law people mostly make their contracts
and their payments with reference to the
cheaper one. In France the standard price
to 1873 was alternately silver and alter
nately gold, and prices rose and fell accord
ingly. Elsewhere the Judge Insists that, since thu
average production of sliver to that of gold
is as 10 to 1, therefore, the value of the
two metals Is fixed by nature at 10 to 1. He
leaves out of consideration altogether the
different relative usefulness of tho two, nnd
the consequent relative esteem In which
they nre held by the world. Thus, the
overage annual production of platinum is
about 100,000 ouncex, while that of gold
is nearly 10,000,000 ounces, yet the value
of platinum, instead of bearing to thnt of
gold the ratio of 100 to 1, bears only that
of 1 to 2. In reply to his assertion that,
under the conditions which prevailed prior
to 1873, the market ratio of silver to gold
was constantly about lO1 to I. It Is enough
to point out that for the last three years tho
ratio has kept at 80 to 1 or thereabouts,
without any artificial aid.
There are other fallacies In Jndge GAr
son's essay, but the above mentioned are
enough to show Its worthlessness as a whole.
The nook and News Trade.
Some large questions are to be brought
before the Natlonnl Convention of tho
American Association of Newsdealers,
Booksellers, and Stationers, which was
opened yesterday in Boston. Among the
delegates to the Cunention there aro a
good many of those enterprising traders
who keep for sale at their marts
not only newspapers and magazines,
but also novels and other books, and some
of whom carry on a trade that Is both large
and profitable, doing business In stores, in
booths, at street stands, railway depots,
elevated stations, and other places. For a
number of years past they have held annnal
conventions in selected cities for the consid
eration of matters In whlrh they are practi
cally Interested.
In recent times their buslnesshas been seri
ously and adversely affected by the competi
tion of those "department siorgg" which
(
havo started book departments, and which
offer books for sale at prices often much
below the ordinary market rate. "What
measures can be devised to meet this com
petition " is one of the fundamental ques
tions before the Boston Convention. An
attempt was made to Induce book publishers
to refuse to furnish literary supplies to the
department stores ; but it was unsuccessful.
Then they were asked to adopt a cus
tom of publishers in Germany, fixing the
price at which all books nre sold to dealers,
regardless of tho magnitude of an order.
Then an effort was made to get authors In
terested In tho subject. Then thcro was a
plan to form an alliance with publishers,
" for mutual protection." The desired re
sult, however, has nover been within sight.
The question is now before the delegates to
the Convention in Boston, and we shall see
whether any practicable measure can be
agreed upon.
It will bo observed that the question in
this case resembles that which retailers in
other branches havo to meet in the now
competition with the large department
stores. In thinking about it, ono must
begin nnd end with the thought that the
system introduced by the proprietors of
these stores has already been so firmly
established as to give it nn advantage not to
be overcome by lesser competitors. We ap
prehend that hereafter all retailers In everv
line will have to reckon with it as a fixture.
We do not see any way by which it cak bo
broken into.
Several other large questions are In the
programme for tho Boston meeting of the
association, such as : "An alliance of book
publishers;" "Methods to change the un
just postal laws," "Means of protecting
the trade nnd the publisher," and " Rela
tions with the American Copyright League."
One of the members has made a novel sug
gestion: "How about our publishing a book
or two, so that tho trade may put its shoul
der to tho a heel and push ?"
The official call for the Convention ends
with this appeal: " Booksellers and news
dealers, arouse I This is your opportunity
to do something that will be beneficial to
the entire trade."
We trust that the Convention will be
guided by discretion and solid sense.
A New Discovery About Onr Electoral
System.
In the October number of the A'orth A merl
can Hcrtcw a number of changes In our
present method of electing a President and
a Vice-President are mooted by the Rev. S.
M. Merrill, a Bishop of the Methodist Epis
copal Church. Most of the suggestions are
plainly inndmissible; but the article pre
sents the strongest argument that we have
sen In favor of choosing by Congress dis
tricts all but two of thePresidential electors
allotted to each State.
When Bishop Merrill speaks of altering
the Constitution so that no State shall have
more Senators in the upper House than it
has Representatives in the lower House, he
must have overlooked the provision of our
Federal organic law, which declares the
machinery for constitutional amendments
Inapplicable to the representation of States
in the upper House of Congress. The Con
stitution expressly says that no State shall
be deprived of its equal representation in
the Senate without its own consent, which,
of course, will never be given No man,
therefore, should talk about the common
sense of the people requiring representation
in the Senate to be proportional to the popu
lation unless he is prepared to indicate
some method of evading the obstacle em
bedded in the text of the Constitution.
No one. so far ns we are aware, has yet
put forward a n cthod of evasion which
would be valid oven in theory; there Is one,
but we shall not name It, because we prefer
the existing syiVti Ti of,we repeat, who
cannot name rme n . mplj talking in the
air. Agniu, V.'t- i .' skill speaks of the
" Electoral Collcgi l'l.ero Is. of course, no
such thing. The PitsidentinI electors allot
ted to each State inept separately in the
capital of their State and report the result
of their balloting through Congress to the
Vice-President. Under these circumstances.
I one may speak of electoral colleges, if one
likes, but not of an electoral college in a
I comprehensive sense. The- latter term,
however, might be used provided Bishop
Merrill's proposal were adopted that all
the Presidential electors of nil the States
should assemble In congress, and vote to
gether for President and Vice-President
Such a change, of course. Is not Impossible,
though It would require a Constitutional
amendment, but it is unadrlsnble, because
in the snggested electoral congress there
vould lie dehnte and Intrigue; and the dan
ger of an elector disobeying the mnndate of
his constituents, or of the will of the ma
jority in a ghen State being nullified, as
was the case In 187R, would be much
greater than It is under the existing ar
rangement Bishop Merrill's obvious
purpose is to restore to tho Presidential
electors the entire liberty of choice given to
them by men w ho frankly denied the capacity
of the people at large to choose their own
Chief Magistrate. The provision relating to
Presidential electors, curiously enough, was
the only Important featuro of the Consti
tution which excited no niloglvings or criti
cism at the time when the Instrument was
adopted; but the notion that any barrier of
the kind should !u Interposed between the
people's will and Its fruition, and that the
electors should exercise any powers of delib
eration and selection, soon liecame obnox
ious and Intolerable to the masses of the peo
ple. No constitutional amendment framed
for the purpose of restoring to the electors
the powers which have lapsed in practice
would have the slightest chance of being
ratified by nny of tho States of the Tnlon.
On the other hand, a highly ingenious
argument is propounded by Bishop Mi:r
rtrLL tor choosing nil but two of tho Presi
dential electors by Congress districts; we
say all but two, becaiifce, of course, the elec
tors corresponding to the rutted States
Senators would have to lie chosen by a
State at large. It is commonly assumed
that In tho constitutional arrangements for
electing a President and n Vice-President, as
well as In the United Slates Senate, the
inhabitants of one of the smallest States,
Montana, for example, have a signal advan
tage over the Inhabitants of tho largest
State, New York, because the number of
their Presidential electors, like the num
ber of their Senators, Is disproportionate
to their population. This is true, if nc
regard the States as political entitles.
Montana, collectively considered, has, from
the point of view just named, a great ad
vantage over New York. But Bishop MKlt
KILL haa succeeded in proving the existence
of a hidden but much more terlotia Inequal
ity of an opposite kind. He shows that a
given Inhabitant of Montana Is at a griev
ous disadvantage compared with a given
inhabitant of New York, so far as the effect
of bis vote upon tho cholco of a President
and Vice-President Is concerned. This hid
den inequality will be brought to light if a
man will ask himself whether he should
deem it a greater privilege to vote for
thirty-six Presidential electors than It
Is to Tote for three. Does one vote
cast for each of thtrty-slx electors baro a
far greater effect In the final count than
does one vote cast for each of three electors F
Thus put, the question answers itself. It Is
evident that; so long as all the Presidential
electors allotted to a given State nre elected
on one general Stato ticket, an individual
voter in New York, which has thirty-six
electoral votes, will exercise twelve times
the power In tho choice of President that is
exercised by tho Individual voter in nny one
of the smallest States that has but three
electoral votes. The lack of equality
among the Individual voters in the
different States will be demonstrated,
provided we keep In lew the indis
putable premise that a single voto
Is as influential in determining majorities In
a large State as It Is In a small State.
Suppose, as actually happened In 1884,
that In the great State of New York tho
Presidential electors are all chosen by a
majority of about eleven hundred. It Is
obvious that a change of some (100 otes
would put the majority on the other side.
That change of GOO votes would take 30 Pres
idential electors from ono side mid add them
to tho other side. Suppose, on the other
hand, that in Montana the Presidential
electors should be chosen by a majority of
1,100 votes; here, again, a change of 000
votes would put the majority on the other
side. The change, however, of 000 votes
in Montana, would take but three Presi
dential electors from one side and add
them to the other side. Thus it is clear
that the 600 voters In New York have ex
ercised twelve times the power of 000 voters
in Montana. But it 000 voters in New York
can wield twelvo times the power of 000 In
Montana, who will deny that each individual
oter In the former State wields twelve
times tho pow er that he does in the latter f
It is not even possible that twelve votes cast
in Montana should equal in weight the ono
vote cost in New York; for the ono voto
affects the election of thlrty-slx Presidential
electors In New York, while the twelve votes
In Montana can only affect the election of
three electors, even If they do swell the ma
jority for the three more than the one vote
swells the majority for the thlrtj-six.
So much for the marked inequality in the
weight and value of individual votes In dif
ferent States under the present method of
choosing Presidential electors. If, on the
other hand, all of the Presidential electors,
except the two corresponding to the Sen
ators, who must needs be voted for on
a Stato ticket, were elected by Congress dis
tricts, tho votes of all Individual voters
throughout the United States would
have precisely the same weight and
alue, so far as the Presidential elec
tors corresponding to their Representatives
In the lower House aro concerned. Thus
would vanish the hidden but grave in
equality never suspected by the framers of
the Constitution, and there would remain
only the inequality avowedly designed by
them, an inequality accruing to the ad
vantage of the smaller States; that,
namely, which gives to every State, in
addition to the number of Presidential
electors proportioned to Its population, two
extra ones corresponding to tbeir delegates
in the Federal Senate.
As we have said. Bishop Merrill has
made out his case as regards the exposure
of a hitherto unobserved inequality between
the power of Individual Voters in different
States to affect the choice of a President.
To the mode, however, of choosing electors
by Congress districts may still be opposed
the formidable objection raised by Presi
dent HahrIsOX in one of his annual mes
sages, the objection, namely, thnt the
change proposed would open the door wide
to corruption in Presidential contests by ex
tending to the districts marked out for
Presldo.itl.sl electors the same gerrymander
process -which has been applied repeatedly
to legislative nnd Cougiess districts.

the "money power' than If they were

so-called "money power" consists, In a very
Urge degree, of the earnings of the "tolling

drlre themselves out of power, and It Is not Mat

DAvrsronT. Oct. 4. Iowa, thoroughly agri
cultural, has never Inclined toward Populism,
though all the Mates which rnclrcln and sur
round It have gone over, at one time or other,
to the successive soft-money movements which
have kept the politics nf many Weitern States
In a ferment. Gen. Weaver, the Greenback
candidate for the l'rettdoncy In 1880. Is a resi
dent of Bloomfleld. and when he ran In that
year lie polled 3.',T0O votes In Iowa. Twelve
ears later Gen, Weaver was the candidate of
the Populist party for the Presidency, tho first
and probably tho last Amerlc.tn citizen to run
for tho Presidency on the l'upulltt ticket. He
polled In Iowa UOwOS, or I'J.OOO less than In the
election of 1880, though the voting population
of Iowa had Increased during the twelve years
intervening from ,12.1,001) to 44:1,000.
Iowa Is eomotlmcs called, and with good rea
son, "the corn Htato," with a product In a fair
year ot 500.000.000 bushels, or larger than thnt
of any other State; but the claims nf Iowa to
agricultural distinction do not rest exclusively
or chiefly upon Its leld of corn. It has '.'00.000
farms, and oer 100,000 of theto are of uinro
than one hundred ncres each. There is more
llvt stock on the farms than In any other Stale,
and In tho number and alueof Its twlno Ioa
exceeds nit others. Iowa is smaller In area than
Illinois, and Its population Is not one-half at
great, yet In many agricultural products It It
ahead. Take oatt, for Instance; Iowa'a aterage
It 20,000.000 buthelt larger in a year than that
of Illinois. Iowa butter told last rear for
$30,000,000.
When the Hawkeye State was admitted Into
the Union In 1840. tho Republican party had
not been organized, but In the first election In
which It engaged, as a national party, Iowa
gave 7,700 majority for Fremont; in 1878 the
Republicans carried It by 8,000, and by nearly
SO.OOOIn 1880.
Gen. Harrison's majority In 1893 was only
23,000. but In no Presidential election has tho
State been doubtful for the Republicans, and In
no election, 1'iesidentlal or Htnte, has the resnlt
ever teen mndo uncertain by such political
movements as tho Populist slher agitation ot
to-day.
It la true that Iowa hat not been uniformly
Republican In State elections, for Horace Boles
of Waterloo has been twice elected Governor,
In 1880 and agntn In 1801; but In both elections
tbe fight turned on the Prohibition question,
and a considerable number of progressive Re
publicans allied themselves with the Democrats
in opposition to the declaration of the Republi
can State Convention of 1889. that "Prohibi
tion hot become the settled policy of the State;
upon It there should be no backward step; we
stand for the complete enforcement of
the Prohibition law." Mr. Boles won be
cause of that opposition; but the Democratic
ticket did not. other Democratic nom
inees running with Mr. Boles being defeated.
In 1801 he was reelected, and generally hit
associates on the Democratic ticket were
more successful, but one of them, tbe candidate
for Supreme Court Judue. wasdefeated, nnd the
Republicans cnDtnred the Legislature. Since
thnt time Iowa has been again Republican. It
Is a somewhat notable fact that uniformly It
has been represented by a long line ot Republi
cans In the United fetates Senate, and It was the
only State In tbe West which ttood steadfastly
in the St. Louis Convention for its favorite ton,
William I). Allison.
bteadfnstness Is. Indeed, the notable charac
teristic of Iowa, politically, and If there be any
where In the West "aland of steady habits"
and of steady Inhabitants, Iowa Is clearly en
titled to that distinction. The reason for It
may not bo altogether bard to find. To start
with, more than 80 per cent, of the population
of Iowa Is native born, and tbe proportion of
lame cities having an extensive floating and
transient population It very small. low has.
In fact, only one city, l)es Moines, with a popu
lation exceeding S0.000. It is made up of small
farming districts and very small towns, and the
surplus floating population finds Its way east to
Chicago, or touth to bt. Louis, or to other
cities further west. There Is very little
such population in Iowa, and every year still
lest. Tbe soli It fertile, the railroad connections
are excellent, ami the flatnet of the ground
makes railroad construction easy. The mileage
of Iowa roads Is 8.600. or nearly 600 miles more
than that of New ork. Probably Iowa has
been kept In the Republican protection column
where other and neighboring Stales hare fal
tered in support of It, by the fact that its staple
cereal, corn, dependt upon a home market, and
not a foreign, and Is not brought Into compe
tition, like American wheat and American cot
ton, with the products of other lands. Where the
wheat farmers havedemarded tariff reductions,
the Iowa farmers have been well satisfied with
the high protectee policy of the Republican
party, and have rallied always to ttt support,
btlll another reason for the remarkable and
almost exceptional steadfastness of Iowa It to
be found In the fact tnat though the term of the
Governor It for two years, the vacancy in this
office Is not filled timultaneously with Presi
dential and Congrcsloual elections. In other
word". Inwa chooses ltt Governors In "off
years," and In such years, It It well known,
political movementaof a national character do
not gain much headway.
As Ihaveeaid, Gov. McKlnley wat not the
first choice of the Rcpubllcant of Iowa, but
tbey did not struggle against bis selection at St.
Louis nor oppose the platform upon wbiab he
was nominated. Ihe Democrats of Iowa,
however. haeless reanon tobe satisfied with
tbe course of the Chicago Contention, for they
presentid w Ith much heartiness and great confi
dence the name of Horace Boles, nnd at ono
time bad good reason to believe that he would
be put In nomination. Unfortunately for their
hopes, however, there was treason in the Boles
ramp, nnd a disagreement arose within the
delegation as to the best course to be adonted.
Home of the delegates w ere for joining with tho
other silver States; others were for keeping out
of such n combination ; and between tho two tbe
Influence of tint htato was lost, and the chances of
Brother Boles were wrecked Irretrievably. Fol.
lowing the nomination of Mr. Bryan, a number
of the most prominent of tho nonest-money
Democrats n tolled, particularly J. J. Richard
ton. former member of the Democratic National
Committee; .Mr Babb. the Deuiocratlo tandl
dnte for (iovcr.iur In 1805; L. M. Martin and
other prominent representative! of the party.
In this town of Davenport, where the largest
element in tho Democratic voto It German
American, the defection Is extensive, and all
pteent Indications point to aconsldernblo vote
hereabout, and, in fact, throughout thu Stale,
for Gen. Palmer. The Democrats have fused
with the Populists, nnd the two electors at large
upon the iirv.in ticket are liornco Boles, tbe
Inst Democratic (invernor, nnd James B.
Weaver, former Congressman and the Inst and
nnlv Populist ciiulldaie for tho Presidency.
Gen. Weaver Is a sanguine man, and ho has
bicn Inclined for some time lo expect a ground
twell of sliver sentiment In Iowa strong enough
to enrrj the Mate out of tho Republican column
and to break lit record In a national election for
tho first time. But other Iowa ttatesmen who
understand the matter better and aro not easily
carried awaj by nirfnco Indications put llttlo
faith In hit expectnli ns, and believe that tho
Statu Is su.ro for .Mvhinley by a majoritj of
probably not Icsh than f.0,000.
It is not fair to taku the voto of 1803 ns a Ulr
criterion of partj strength i thii Mate, as
tome Republicans htve been doing. Tho de
moralization, ili.contcnt, uid hopeloijhess of
the Democratic pari In that jiar rencned
Iowa as well as other States, and It kept from
the polls many thousands of Democrats, as
many, perhaps as in 000. Hut. nllowlnj ns tbo
outside Democratic vole the 176 000 received
by Gov. Boles in lMl.'i, when he was defeated,
and adding to It tho Populist vote of 23,000 In
the tame year, there would be a Bryan total of
S00.000, less the defection of honest-money
Democrats for McKlnley and for Palmer.
Twenty percent, of the combined Democratic
and Populist v ote It a fair estimate fur thls.bring
Ing down the Bryan total to about ltiO.000.
Gen. Harrison polled In Iowa In 1892, under
clrcnmttanct lest favorable to the Republicans
than tbey are this year, 220,000, and a McKlnley
vote of 220,000 thlt year, at against 160,000 for
Eryaa, will give Mm lead of 60.000. It Is quite

true that there are some sllrsrite Republicans,
perhaps several thousand, but they are no mors
numerous. If at many, as the honett-monty i
Democratt who will voto for McKlnley. and tn
the shifting at Republicans to Bryan and
Democrats Jo McKlnley. the loss. If any. would
probably be agalntt tho former.
Under 'thete clrcumttances an estimate of
C0.000 majority for MoKInley does not now
teem to be extravagant, putting the thirteen
electoral votes of Iowa In the Republican na
tional column. In one of his early speeches Mr.
Bryan said that he wat tho first Presidential
candidate who. If elected, would ho compelled
to pats through Iowa on his way to tho Whits
House; but ho did not tay that ho hnd any re.
son to expect the accelerating Impetus of any of
the electoral volet of low n on hlicoursc. In the
fusion between the Democrats and the Populists
hero ten of the electors are for Sewall and three
are for Watson. A DubuQUo Irishman, to whom
thlt division of electors on the Vlce-rresldency
was explained, disapproved of the dlvltlon:
"Sure why not divide the thirteen half nnd
half." ho said. " seeing that not one of tbem
will be elected."

Among the nimblest tnmpnlgn slanders of
the silver monopoly Is thnt which declnres that
all tbe sound-money newspnpers are the sub
sidized organs of tbe gold syndicate. This false- J
hood has been repented with remarkable dill-
gence by men who know better, and shrieked
from tho platform by unbalanced creatures like
Tillman, until tbe unthinking among the 03
cent zealots have actually come to regard It aa
nn uncontrovertible argument of the canvass
concerning which there can be but tine opinion.
As a matter of fact there has not been cam
paign tn this country In the last thirty years
that has so thoroughly demonstrated the Inde
pendence and the Integrity of journalism aa the
one through which we nre passing. To tay thai
newspapers like TiieNew Yoiik Scn. thoWtr
alU, the iitfau'p'ifa lime; tne Louisville Cour
Itr-Jnurnnl, and scores of otlirs lens prominent,
but not less devotrd to Democratic doctrine,
could be seduced from their contlctlons by any
ring or syndicate is to utter a rerkless falsehood
which carries with It Its own condemnation lu
the mind of every Intelligent citizen w ho is not
blinded by partisanship or deluded by dootrtnei
which appeal to his cupidity at tbe expense of
his common tense. If sordid considerations
alone were sufficient to sway the judgments of I
Journals, most of those we have named would
be on the tide of the silver delusion, catering to
tbe crowd and swelling their circulations by 1
ad captandum appeals to the prejudices and I
passions of the multitude. But there are re- J
tponslbllltles attached to journalism which
may net be laid aside even for tbe temporary j
advantages which might accrue as the result of 0
an abandonmentofprlnclple.and these respon- n
stbllltles have been nobly met In the present ,
national crisis. v
We have particularly In mind the case of J
Tne New Yoiik Sck. which promptly repndl- flB
ated the Chicago platform without waiting to "ssl
see what others thought of It. Trir. Sf.s became -B
convinced that the Chicago deliverance was -tsal
wrong and that Its tuccess would bean injury J
to the country, and having reached this con- jH
elusion its position was taken and Its course de- -JH
termlned without delay end without counting l
th cost. Its voice rang out true and clear m
without faltering or hesitation at the very first H
opportunity, and tt has not faltered since. Tna IH
Sc'-t'B caustic comments on some of tho humbug JJjB
features of tbe campaign are distasteful to H
persons of demagogical inclinations, and they 4jH
are ready to attribute any motive but the cor- H
rect one for Its Independent course. But those
who are angry now because honest newspapers
take Issue with them will vet have reason to .flH
thank tbe courageous American Journals that j-Jjfl
are standing between them and disaster, and H
that did not hesitate to make tnelr choice at tbe M
crucial moment even at the risk of Incurring, H
partisan displeasure and Inviting destrnctlon.
The newspapers that are standing upwfee. 5
sound money and sound principles In thlt cam. -" ?Jl(
palgn nre the true friends of labor. They art "
upholding the best dollar for the wageearnert
tbey are defending a system of national In teg. H
rity that will Inture prosperity, security, and H
honor, and restore confidence, peace, and bappl.
nets to the people of the United States. They 1
resist tbe noxious doctrine that national dls- 1
honor can promote personal prosperity, and In i
this they maintain the principle of the greatest 1
good to tbo greatest nnmber. I
Tho sound-money newspapers are doing this
without money and without rrlce, and without
regard to the wishes of any syndicate of gold or
tllver. The degenerates who claim that tuch
newspapers are bought or subsidized voice their '
own degradation. No papers have made greater i
sacrifices for principle thlt year than the sound-
money Journals that broke loose from party
traditions to stand up for their convictions. - - tj
Tbey are an honor to Journalism, and the pre. 1
entcritltwas worth bringing about to demon- '
ttrate tho loyalty and hlgh-mlndednes by a
which they are actuated.
It la a hopeful tlgn of the nation's ttrength
when the best Journalism of the country prefers
principle to partisanship and la willing to sacri
fice csln for the public good. Small-minded and
shallow critics of newspapert are not willlne to
concede these virtues to the sanctum: but ed
itors and publishers who are conscious of hav
ing done their duty care but little for the envi
ous slanders of the unscrupulous who. being
dishonest themselves, seek to fatten the atlgma,
of dishonesty upon all who take exception to
their fallacies. When the history of tnls cam
paign shall be written, the unselfish, unrequited
service rendered In behalf of tound principles
and honen money by the Independent journals J,
of tbe United States should not be forgotten.
