Why not inttku .Mi-n-c-i's nomination by acclamation ami IH > done with it ? The Iowa democratic contingent at Chicago Is only Indulging In Holes play. Nebraska Is bound to play a piomi- nont part In all the national conven tions. For the first time in his life Oiover Cleveland's sympathies were with David I ! . Hill. Adlai still holds up his lightning rod , Imt lightning rarely strikes the same treemoie than once. "Whenever- the people of Omaha get thoroughly roiiM'd they make their feelIngs - Ings known In a mo'.t emphatic way. Euclid Martin and Tobo Castor have one satisfaction. They have managed to keep Hryan out of the chair at Chicago Omaha always stands up for Omaha. There aie a great" many Ingrates In Omaha but they are in a hopeless ml norlty. Yesterday Mahoney wa.s in and Smyth was out. Today Smyth will be in and Mahoney will be out Heads I wiu , Utils you lose. The democratic paity is in the throes of dissolution and all tbe medicine men nnd medicine makers cannot save it. The case Is hopeless. David 11. Hill's speech as temporary I chairman will have to be embalmed for delivery to the Round money htiaightout clemocrath1 convention. Mr. Cornish is entitled to thanks for oiui thing.

After all It V.MIS Chicago's luck that St. I/oulii nridc a successful bid for the McKlnley nit Ideation convention , which nt best did not pan out dlin.'s where the democratic show pans out dollais. The light is on at f'ldcago and from ChU-agi ) It Is bound to extend to every > lllage and hamlet In the Tnlied Htate.i whether them Is a rumpus followed by n walkout or n walkout lollovu-d by a iimipus. Now that Mr. Ilolmil lias been notl- flcd of his nomination in due form and his ciidiiihcment of the SI. Louis plat- Term Is an assuied fact It is to bo hopr-d that all further formalities will ho waived nnd tlio national campaign com- lultteeill lie nlhnved to ptocecd to without walling for thu con- of any other party. Tlio great show at Chicago will soon lie over and tlio political atmosphere will bo so clear that Omaha can get down to business and push local all'.ihs. The St. Liouls convention , thu state convention iiiul the Chicago affair Imve had the ef fect of suspending \\o/k upon exposition promotion , which hi a day or two must Ini resumed nnd be given right of ay. It Itf ( julte tlmo active work begin. r. Mr. rianriol ( Jompers , picsldent of the ( red ratloit of Labor , snjs tlmt orgnnlzitlon stands for the fi v an unllmiled coinage of silver at the rprftrnb.ed ratio of It ! to 1 , and. If nci-es. 11 ry. Independent of any other nation. Mr. Gompers may or tmiy not represent the \lews on this iiuestion of Jill the tnenvbfiH of the Federation , but In any n-ent that organisation comprises n v.cry sinall propoition of the wage earners of the I 'tilted States , so that It \votild be a niKJake to assume from his statement Hint free sliver Is approved : > y woiklngiuen generally and especially by organized labor. The appeals of the free silver leaders to the worklngmeii linve untiticstionably made large mini- bers of them ndherents of that policy , but Ihero can be no doubt that greater numbers , nt least of the more intelli gent and thoughtful of them , believe in iralutalnlng the existing standaid. .Mr Ooinpers Is not the only con- spIcttouM and Intlueutlal labor leader in the country and such men as Arthur , chief of the llrnlhcihood nt Locomotive Engineers , and O'Contiell , the head > f tlio Older of American Machinists. tro not In favor of debasing ( lie currency thiougli tbe free coinage of silver. The hitter said In a recent In terview that he and his fellow machin ists hud been discussing this m-itter. looking can-fully into it , nnd they bad mi cited lite conclusion that free silver ought to be opposeil by every workingman - man , since it meant lor him. if he Is to be as ivoll off as he is today , the necessity of doubling his wages , a tiling. of eomsiv which cannot possibly be secured. "I am satlsiled , " said the chief of the American Machinists , "that when the workingmen understand this luestlon as wo do-anil many of them lo so understand it you will tlnd the wage-earneis of the United States , to a man , opposing this doctrine. The only abor men who will defend it will be Inlluenced by other motives than a tigard lor the welfare of labor. " The suppoiteis of the existing monetary stanihttd only ask that workingmen shall give tills subject intelligent In vestigation and thoughtful considera tion , confident that the result must be favorable to their cau > e. The fieo coinage of silver would woik greater barm to the working classes of thK country than to any other. All ex- peiieuce shows that any debasement In the money system of a country r.iNe. " prices faster and farther than it do"s wages. This might inllucnee employers to consider the propiiety of debasing our curtvncy , but it is precisely the reason why wotkingmeii should oppose it. The fiee silveiiteb assert that their policy would double the prices of com- iiii.dities. Can any rational woiking- inan believe that wages would be doubled too , and even If they should be. how much would the wage earner profit by the change ? He would receive ills earnings in silver dollars that would deptcciato in puiehasing power from week to week and nothing he could do would pioleet him against tills. Every body familiar with the subject knows that during the war , when we had a 'lepteeiatejl paper ctiriency , the pi ices of commodities lose more rapidly than the wages of labor and there would In evitably be thu same expeiience under free silver. It ought to be obvious to any one of ordinary intelligence that I'litil woiKlngmen could get their wages doubled they -\\ouhl be losers by a change to the silver standaid ami could IlK-y double their wages with panic and business proafiatlon as tlio lestilt of the change V The wages of labor advanced under the gold standaid and protection to our Industries. It will do so again under the concurrent operation of tht.se puli- cies. The fiee coinage of .sliver could bring only disaster to labor in common with all other interests , except that of tlio silver mine owners. iinit.Mir. The formality of notifying tlio repub lican candidate for vice president , Hon. Carrot t A. Hob.in , of his nomination took place yesterday , the notifying -ipeeeli having lie-en made by the tern porary chairman of the St. Louis con vention , Hon. ( ! . W. Fairb.inK.s. The lesnonsu of Mr. Hobart dwelt upon the cuirency and tat III' Issues and what lie said will be heartily appioved by the party , lleferilng to thu money < | iie.s tlon lie said its gravity cannot be over estimated that "tlieie can be no llnau- clal security , no busbies * stability , no leal prospeilty wheie tlio policy of the government as to that qtii'sHon is all 11 matter of doubt. " He declared that .111 honest dollar worth 100 centx every where cannot be coined ou ( of . " > : ! cents worth of silver plus a legislative Hat and that such a debasement of our cur rency would Inevitably produce incalcu lable loss , appalling disaster nnd na tional dishonor. Tie said this question admits of no compromise , In regard lo a protective policy Mr. Hobart said ho had formed his estimate of It by the .sttiily of tlie object lessons of a great industrial state and ho had seen it In dl pufahly proved that the prospeilty of the farmer , meiclmnt : ind all other classes of citizens goes Imiid-in-lmnd with that of thu manufacturer and me chanic. Tim opposite policy , with Its numeious bail icsulls , must nnd Its cldi I' popularity elsewhere than among American elllxeiis. Mr. Ilobart's ac- ( ilance shows him to lie In lull accord with the letter and spirit of the national platform. Certain democratic papou , tlmt are opposed to free silver are doing the cat'so ' of sound nuney no good by lind- Ing fault with the cuireney utterance * of Major McKInley us not being suill- ilcnlly plain against the lice and un limited coinage of silver. Theto is no e.\utse for tills soit of criticism. It would bo Impossible to use language that would moio explicitly nnd fully commit Its author in favor of the main tenance of thu casting gold standard than that which the republican presi dential candidate has employed binco his nomination. What moro can any ro.ib- uimhlw person require ? Is It necessary , In older to cany conviction of devotion to huiii'M money , that one shall continu ally iclterate , "I tun opposed to the free aud unlimited colnago of silver ? " I p I Whe u an honest and honorable mnti , whose known habit U Is to fearlessly ! express his opinions , utiiiunllfledly and titieiiuivocally says that lie Is for the gold standaid. that -bould be sulllclent for all fair-minded men , and this Is what Major McKInley has done , lleing for the gold fttandaid be Is necessarily against free silver and he could not mote definitely or surely establish that fact If he declared his opposition to free silver every hour In the day. Major McKInley stands squarely upon the St. Louis platform , the framing of the currency plank of which was In largo part Ids work and no man who lias faith in his Integrity , as every man should have who knows his character , can doubt for a moment that he is as earnestly and strongly opposed to fiee silver as any .supporter of the gold standard In the country. It Is not neces sary to itnalyl/.e his utterances to tinder- stand lids , as one of his caviling ctitltM suggests. They are perfectly clear and unambimious In favor of a currency every dollar of which shall be at par with gold not only at home , hut In every financial and commercial center of ( he world. XTi'MKitrmt rw.st/ ; The anti-Mercer crusade will foiovor bo memorable as a most disgrace ful chapter In our political his tory. From start to llnl-h it has been a campaign of defamation be gotten by ambitious mediocrity and stimulated by a fanatical element of the republican party that has its only coun terpart In Tammany. Instead of pre senting their own claims to piefciment the rivals of Mr. Mercer have stooped to the most dh-honoiublo demagogl-m , downright slander and appeals to ptr- tlsan prejudices which could have no other effect than to disrupt the paity from which they sought their own ele vation and election. With a malignant Idiocy that has no parallel in political campaigning these candidates have made hostility to The I'.eo and its edl or the bill den of their song , in face of the fact that The Ieo ! was expected to li-'hl their battle In the coming c-un- paign and when they must know that The r.oe could not stultify it-elf by endowing dewing thu candidacy of men who have waged war upon it without the slightest piovoention. Up to the last days of the campaign not a word had been uttered by The l > ee against these malcontents , individually or collectively. And yet CornNh. Kennedy and C.irr have pur sued the same tactics that cliaiacteii/.i'd the defense of Henry Holln by Sana- del N McFailand and West In their ar guments to the juiy. These pceple evi dently imagine that the people of Omaha have all gone crazy with incurable Hose- waterphobla. They forget that the anti- Hosewater howl has pioved a winning card only when the contractors and cor- poiations organized victory foi their candidates thiotigh purchasable voting cattle. They forget that when the battle Is on this fall they will have to com mand tlio support of republicans who do not train with the boodlors and want heelers. ' Tlio most disgraceful feature of the anti-Mercer citisade wis , however , the reckless disregard of the vital lntuiout.4 of Omaha and the disposition to wreck thu exposition project in older to pro mote peisonal ambition and gratify per sonal malice. In any oilier community the men who have hounded and de famed Mercer would have been mobbed. It is to thu credit of Omaha that free speech , even when used to the basest of ends and when directed against the pub lic interest , is still tolerated and men who stoop to slander and vituperation of their betters are not molested. While the people of Omaha are forbeaiing and tolerant , they are also Intelligent and patriotic. They cannot bis played upon by mountebanks to send imbeciles to represent them in congress and they will not Join political bushwhackers to as sassinate a man who has tendered in valuable suivlco to the city ami stale. I'lie Heal IMato exchange is stimulat ing competition In the matter of do-igns for exposition labels or stickers. Prizes have been awarded for the moie accept able designs. Tills is most commend- ible. Now let the Commeicial c'ub olfer an architoet ! , ' prlw for the best sketch of an Omaha bail ting , state building , administration building , or any other building thu exposition company must later on erect. The sketch will stand an even chance of acceptance by tlio ex position company when the proper lime comes lind would If put upon exhibition today attract moie attention titan any thing else of thu kind ever shown In the city. Aichltects me keen enough to see their opportunities. Once every month Uncle Sam pays his olliceif. and troopeis at the foir. When tlie garrison was located at Fort Omaha the soldiers traded in Omaha , but now they can spend their earnings at Itello- vue , IMattsmoiith , South Omaha or Omaha. Our merchants will at once fcvl tbe loss of this trade and If something be not done soon lo secure a good load to Fort Ciook the business will be lo.d entirely. On behalf of the business men of Omaha The Hoe lias long urged the county commissioners to take action o.i tills matter , but tlie obstacles seem to b great and slow progress ,1s bi > ing made. It Is simply a matter of biisncs.s ! and uliould bo so treated. Thu Heal Estate exchange has revised its geneial appraisement of realty within tlie city. This appraisement Is a mat ter of lecoid with the exchange. The atlas ought to be ( .oplod by thu county and city clerks and also placed on 11u ! In every com I of ivcoid. Then .vhen pioperty rallies nn called Into iiueMl in tlie trial of cases the court could Ibid a basis for determining ( lie true value of pioperty. Madu-lo-order testimony as to realty values Js worth about as much as expert medical testimony. From this time on till winter sets in wo may expect that the business of ship- plug paupers Into Omaha will grow Into considerable proportions.

It Is sulllcient for me to say at this time that , concurring without leserve In all thr > dec larations of principle nnd policy embodied In the St. hauls platform , J accept the nomination tendered to me with a full ap preciation of Its responsibilities and vUth honest purpose , and In the event that the- people shall r.itl'y the- choice made by the national convention , to ill-charge any du ties which may devolve upon me , with solo reference to the public good. Jat me add that it v\lll be m > eainest effort In the coming campaign to contiUnite In every way possible to the success of the party we ipprespnt and which , as to the Important Is-suih of the time , btamls for the best Inter ests of the pebple Uncertainty or Instabllitv as to the money Question Involves most seiloiH consequences to every Intelest and to oveiy citizen of the country. The guivltj of this question can not be ovei estimated There can be no llnanclal seeuilty , no business stability , no nal pro-.peilty where the polk-j ot the government a.s to that question Is all a mat ter of doubt. Gold Is the one stindaid of value among all enlightened commercial na tions. All financial transactions of what ever character , all business enterprises , all Individual or corporate Investments aie adjusted to It. An honest dollar worth 100 cents everywhere cannot be coined out of W cents worth of silver plus a legislative fiat Such a debasement of our curiency would Inevitably product * Incalculable loss pppalllng disaster and national dishonor It is n fundamental principle In coinage recognized and followed by all the states men of Ametiea In the pist and never jet safely depai tul fiom that there can be only one basis upon which gold and llver m.ij' be concuircntlj' coined ns money , and thai bisls la equality , not In weight , but In t'u- ' commercial value of the metal cont.ilne'd In the lespectlve coins.
