HAltMOXr AND WOllK { .V NK\r \ YUriK.
If there htis boon a nhadow of doubt In
the mind of any man ai to the loyalty of
lion. Tnoninft C. Platt and Hon. Warner
Miller to the republican party and Its
cnndtdatoH the great mooting at Cooper
Union In Now York city on Wednesday
evening must have dispelled it com-
plotely. Mr. Platt presided over that
mooting and made a speech that , by its
eloquence nnd power , must have sur-
prlsotl these who have known him only
as n man of doods. Ills discussion of the
Issues of the campaign wn * oloir , forcible
and convincing , and the whole tone of
hi * address bore witness to hta fidelity
to the organisation with which ho has
actively nllilIntod sluuo the day of Us
birth and his ronlln bolnlf of Ihn reelection
tion of President Harrison. Rcfcrrlm !
to the conlostin which hn w.is a partici
pant at Minnonpolis , ho said : "But a
majority of the convention decided that
ho who four years ago rescued the
nation from democratic misrule ; who ,
during the four years of his Incumbency ,
had so faithfully berne the republican
standard , and whoso administration had
signally promoted national prosperity ,
should load us ag.iin to victory , and
Benjamin Harrison of Indiana bccxmo
the republican nominee. " The will of
the majority is not only respected by
Mr. Platt , but ho fully rocojinl/ss and
acknowledges the merits of the candi
date chosen , and gives him the most
olloctlvo support possible.
The speech of Mr. Miller , like that oE
Mr. Platt , was full of loyalty to the
party nnd Us candidates' . "All differ
ences ol opinion ns to the republican
"party , " ho said , "ended when tho-cbn-
vontlon at Minneapolis declared Its.
choice. " The democrats who have been
talking about republican discord In No\v
York , have never had any reason to ex
pect that those loaders vv > uld withhold
tholr support from Harrison and Hold ,
nor even that they would address them
selves to the work in an Indifferent and
perfunctory manner. Tholr attitude is ,
in striking contrast to that of Snnator
Hill'who is making n thin pretence of
supporting Cleveland , but is really ac
tuated by no purpose but to protect and
piomoto his own political fortunes.
Platt and Miller are in perfect accord
with the platform of their party , and
tire not exercising their ingenuity in ex
plaining it away or trying to make il
scorn to moan something entirely dilTer-
out from what it says.
Tlio Cooper Union meeting will do a
great deal ot good in the state of Now
York and its influence will bo felt olsn-
where ; not that it settles anything thrtt
was before doubtful as to the harmony
of the republicans in that state , but because -
cause the enthusiasm and zeal displayed
will arouse the workers to more vigor
ous and determined activity. Mr. PlaVt
stated the prime duty of every republi
can when ho said : "Organize , organ
ize , organize throughout the cUy , nnd
throughout the state and throughout
the land. No more enthusiasm nnd hur
rah will compensate for your thorough
nnd perfect work. Work , work , work ,
and join your ward association ; help to
get up meetings ; talk to your neighbors ;
encourage your friends ; turn out with
your clubs , nnd iibovo all help with all
your might to got every republican
voter out on election day. " This cx-
horiution is as pertinent to'tho west as
to the east , and its force is not impaired
by the fact that it has often boon hoard
before. Now York hi setting a good ox-
ample. .
SfATK HANK. CURltUXCY.
The c.iro which the democratic load
ers take to evade the plank in the
national platform which demands a re
peal of the tax on state bank issues is
not complimentary to the sagacity and
judgment of the 000 delegates in the
national convention , all of whom voted
in favor of this proposition. Mr. Clo'vo-
land made no direct reference to the
plunk In his letter of acceptance and
Senator Hill has not discussed it in any
of his speeches. It is evidently not nn
agreeable subject to these loaders , and
wo have not observed that any democrat
of prominence has cured to press it upon
the attention of the people. Still the
democratic party i& as fully committed
to the restoration of the state bank cur
rency , which would immediately follow
the removal of the tax , as it is to the
abandonment of protection on the
ground thai it is u system without con
stitutional warrant. The people must
not , therefore , bo permitted to lososight
of the democratic demand for n state
bank currency. It constitutes an isauo
in the pending campaign of no ordinary
importance.
A state bank currency would involve
the creation of a circulating medium
consisting of forty-four different kinds
of money asitnuny kinds as there are
states Issued under suoh regulations as
the sovovnl states , through tholr legis
latures , may prosurlbo , all subject to
local inlluunccs and to the greed of the
speculator nnd the usurer.- This was
the cabo with the state bank currency
before the war , and It would bo the case
with such u , oupponoy now or at any
tlmo In the future. Anybody who will
tiike the trouble to Investigate the cur
rency system that prevailed down to the
dnto whan congress taxed thu stutab.inlc
notes out of existence will llnd thti t few
if any of the notes of the boat banks , In
the oldest and Honest states , were over
at par , while the counterfeiter did as
profitable a business as the banker , and
all at the expense ot the people. Every
body suffered loss from suoh money , ex
cept the money changors.and the great
est losers were the agricultural pro
ducer and the wage earner. The great
est enemy of these olasaos are these who
propose to return to this sort of our-
roncy and to restore the wildcat bank
ing , the destruction of which was ono of
the most valuable compensations of the
civil war. .
As was said by a distinguished repub >
lican leader recently , there is ono thing
which thlscountry cannot afford to trifle
with , and thai is its money , its mousuro
of value the money which passes
among the people ID return for tholr
ubor anil tha nroduats of tholr toll or of
their land. There Is no contrivance so
successful in cheating labor and the
- poor people of the country aa an un.
stable , worthless and easily counter
feited currency. The proposition to rfo
back to utato bank circulation is the
worst manifestation of financial un-
Bouuduosa whioh has emanated from the
democratic party. It Is Infinitely worse
than the Irredeemable- greenback In un
limited jVolumo , aa onoo proposed by
that party. It would bo vastly more
hurtful , more destructive to business
nnd value , more harmful to every Inter
est than the fioo nnd unltinltod oolnago
of silver. It has boon well said that if
this was all there was In the campaign
It would bo enough to defeat the party
which bus made the issue.
CIK\'KTAX1) ) AXD TIW I'KXSIOXKUS-
Mr. Cleveland makes a feeble attempt
in his letter of acceptance to atone for
the spirit ho manifested toward the
union veterans when ho was president.
Ho addrosso to the man who preserved
the union , and who have an hnporish-
able claim upon the gratitude and the
generous euro of the American people ,
a few lines of platitude and strained
sentiment which ho doubtless hopes will
Induce at loa t these old soldiers who
nro predisposed to vote with the demoa
racy to condone his treatment of them
In the past and give him tholr support
in the hope that ho will In the future ,
In tlio event of his election , show more
rog.ird for their Interests. It has boon
said that there are 23,01)0 ) votornns In
the state of Now York who are demo
crats , but who , Mr. Bourke Cockr.in de
clared in the Chicago convention , would
not vote for Grover Cleveland. There
nro old soldiers in every sluta who are
democrats , und It is to these that the
democratic candidate for president
mal < os his bid for support.
But Mr. Cleveland will find that dom-
cralio veterans , however strongly at-
tauhod they may bo to the principles of
the party , believe as fully and firmly as
republican veterans in the duty of the
government to properly provide for
these of Its preservers who m.iy need Its
care and for tholr widows and orphans.
An example of this Is General Daniel
E. Sickles , whoso democracy is unques
tionable , but who behoves in a liberal
pension policy , and who will not vote ,
unless ho has basn outrageously mis-
rqpresontod , for Air. Cleveland. That
there are thousands of democratic veterans -
orans in Now York and other states
who will follow the example of General
Sickles , the intrepid soldier who loft a
log on the bloody Hold of Gettysburg1 , is
not for tin instant to bo doubted. They
would bo untrue to their comrades and
to themselves were they to do other
wise , for there is not a sound reason
why they should expect anything better -
tor from Mr. Cleveland were ho again
cho'ion ' to the presidency than they re
ceived at his hands when ho occupied
that exalted station. Ho would ac
knowledge no obligation to the soldier
vote for his election , but would yield to
the same influence , proceeding largely
from the democracy of the south , which
prompted him to disregard the interests
and welfare of the old soldiers when ho
wns the chief executive of the nation.
It would bo manifestly absurd to assume
that Mr. Cleveland has conceived kind
lier and more generous sentiments to
ward the veterans with the lapse of
years. Never favorable to a just njcog-
nition of thojr clairri'tipon\ substan
tial gratrtudo of the country , it is not in
his nature to have changed.
Mr. Cleveland made his administra
tion notorious by his vetoes of pension
bills. About 300 suoh measures encoun
tered his disapproval. Is it reasonable
to suppose that the veterans will condone -
done this extraordinary record of hos
tility and again repose confidence in the
man who made it ? Why should they
desire to bestow tno highest oflioo in the
giftof the people upon u in tin who has thus
shown an utter want of sympathy with
the men who preserved , the union , when
they have an opportunity to vote for a
candidate who was himself a bravo defender -
fonder of the government and who is ono
of the most earnest and generous friends
of the old soldiers ? Is it conceivable
that any veteran who did his duty In
the day of the country's peril can hesi
tate a moment in choosing between
Benjamin Harrison , who made an hon
orable military record , and Grover
Cleveland , who sent a substitute to the
front and who subscribed in ISOt to , , the
declaration of his party that the war
was u failure and ought to bo brought tea
a close , though to have done so at that
time would have 'insured the dismem
berment of the union ? The offense of
Mr. Cleveland against the veterans of
the country .in olTonso alike unwar
ranted and unpatriotic cannot bo for
gotten and will not bo forgiven by the
men who conquered rebellion and pre
served the union.
OKXTHAL , AMKlllGAN MAHKK1S.
It Is announced that Secretary Foster
expects to complete In a few months u
recrlproolty arrangement with another
Central Amo > l < nu republic , Coat a Ricn ,
under the third section of the McKinley
law. It is also expected that Nlca-
ratigua will ratify nn ngroumont of a
similar nature upon the assembling of
her next biennial congress , which will
moot next winter. The Costa Rlcan
congress has already ratified the ar
rangement made between the American
minister of that country and our State
depirtmont , but qur own congress has
not yet acted upon the report ,
When these two treaties have boon
perfected , reciprocity will have boon

The total value of the exports nnd im

xoi A ponimcAh MATTER.
There may bo some truth in the dis
closures made by E. C. Rowlok against
olllcors . ot the hospital for insane , but
his attempt to besmirch the Board of
Public Lands and Buildings has proven
a fiat failure. The present board hus
shown Itself ready and nnxiouj to inves
tigate . charges of crookedness against
the management of state Institutions
and apply a speedy remedy. The record
of the board In the ease of Cfio Hastings
nsylutn Investigation has rightfully won
for it the confidence of all classes of cit
izens. If Rowlck had boon honest In
his professions ho would have laid all
the facts before Attorney General Hast
ings last spring when called to the hit-
tor's ollleo with that object fii view. But
ho preferred to hold his thunder that ho
might have a club-wlth which to blaze
his way Into the police judgoshlp of
Lincoln. . When the attorney general
found Rowlck , by his own words , to be
a blackmailer ho Iciokod him out of his
olllcc. If the charges Rowlok makes
are true , so much more does ho deserve
condemnation for the course ho hah pur
sued. For the price of an office ho was
willing to suppress all reference to the
facts.
The Worlil'ircmhl seeks to fasten the
responsibility for this alleged crooked
ness on both democratic and republican
state officers in order to bolster up the
Independent state ticket. Ex-Attornoy
General Lecso repudiates all attempts
to muko political capital out of Rowlck's
disclosures.
Mr. Loose stands high in the esteem
of all classes of oltlzons , regardless of
party , us a man of sterling integrity.
Ho was for years a member of the Board
of Public Lands and Buildings , and ,
therefore , spoiks : from personal experi
ence and observation. Ho is not now in
accord with the republican party , but on
the contrary has 'acciiptcd the nomina
tion for district judge on the people's
party ticket. Ho can , therefore , be con
sidered us strictlyimpartlnl. But Gen
eral Loose manfulfy expressed the opin
ion , after heuriignll the charges made
by Mr.R owick.ithut any attempt to at
tach the responsibility for whatever
crookedness tliore-'tnay have been should
not bo laid 'at tlid'door of the Board of
Public Lnn'da affilBuildings. ;
The next legislature will doubtless
look into the chu gesof malfeasance and
take such stopa3 , may bo necessary to
ascertain to what extent the state has
boon dofVauded . i\nd devise measures
necessary to prevent a recurrence.
THE announcement thut Nancy Hanks
has trotted'a inilo"in-2TH : on the1 regula
tion track nt Terre Haute will
sttongthoii Ihc faith of these who have
| predicted that the two-minute hdrso
would coino within the present.century.
It w.is a wonderful performance , but
considering that this remarkable little
mure has been cutting down the record
all summer it scpms less Astonishing
than if some other animal hud done it.
The public has come to expect great
things of Nancy , and perhaps there
would bo little surprise manifested it
fahe should lower _ this great record a
second or two before the season is ended.
When a trotter goes a quarter at the
rate of 1 : , and n half at the rate of
2:021 : , and finisbps the mile in 2:01 : al
most us fresh us when she started , it is
perfectly roaoonublo o suppose that a
rocor'd will wit
two-minute soon PO
nessed. Nancy Hanks is only G years
old , and us most of the trotters have not
developed their full powers at that ago
the public will oxnect her to achieve
greater wonders next year. A pleasant
thing for humane people to contemplate
Is the fact that this superb record
breaker does her work easily , finishes
fresh and really bourns to enjoy her per
formances.
WITH democrats defending tholr rec

Cluirlts S. Smith fii North American Ktvlcw ,
The direct expenses of a piesldontial elec
tion amount to many millions of dollars and
the indirect losses to the country in nn ex
citing campaign by tha retarding ot business
operations nro incalculable. A shrewd po
litical authority , accustomed to handle cam-
palen funds , estimates that , it will cost the
two political parties $1,500,000 In Now YorK
stats alone to conduct tbo coming campaign.
The lengthening of the term to olgni years
would reduce such expanses and losses by
one-half. It would be greatly to the ad
vantage of our diplomatic service In the
longer continuance In ofllco of experienced
men , and woul'i also strengthen civil service
reform nmonc nil classes of omployoi , uud
save thein from the temptations always Inci
dent , In a greater or n lesser 'lojrreo , to the
frequent changes in the minor ofllcns which
fallow in thouakoof presidential elections.
The professional politicians nnd the bosses
would bo li olv to oppose surh u change , and
the hungry crowd who nro waiting for
federal appointments would raise the old cry
of "an aristocracy of olllcoholders , " but the
common sense of tbe country will yet demand
the stability ana tranqullltv which would
come from a lengthened term of oftlco for the
cblof magistrate of the United States.

An important couforoiico of the executive

were conducted behind closed doors.
After the confcronco Conproisnmu

of tint .Situation.
"Wo nro sure to hnvo sixteen of these
twenty-four now members , wbicb Is n not
gain of eight. There nro manv reasons why
the republicans should gain control of "tho
fifty-third congress whloh did not operate
four yours ago when wo secured control of
the house on the tariff Issue. Now It la not
only n question or maintaining laws whloh will
preserve our manufacturing Interests , but of
preserving eomiuctclnl reciprocity , which U

maintaining our present banking institu
tions and preserving the stability ot our cur
rency nntl ninny other tnlngs. In almost
every instance there are local issues
which give us the advantage. We
llnd , too , that the soldier vote will
bo practically olld for Harrison
nnd Hoki and consequently lor congressmen.
In order to carry the lower house ot congress
wo llnd It will DC necessary to mulco such
combinations and effect such organizations
as will almost liuiu.'o tlio election of state
legislatures now democratic. This accom
plishment Is far-reaching lu Its results. It
uioans the re-election of a sufficient numoer
ot republicans to continue our coutrol of the
United States senate and will enable the re-
puulluins to sot asldo some diabolical gerry
manders which have made ho political
complexion of legislatures democratic. 1
predict a general revolution in state politics
this year ns well as coatrrosslouul
and presidential success for the re
publicans. The democrats created , and for
a long tlmo fed , tlio political wine of the alli
ance , which is now the peoplo's party , hop
ing to destroy the republican organization in
tha northwest , anu now It cromlses sure de
struction to the solid south. It IE a case of
a party building stronger than It knew. "
