There being ne but little doubt about time question of non : nation 'for president and not iuch beii said as to who the vice president will ii men are working on financial planks saying what. the financial plunk ought A careful analysis as to the condition the financial plank of 11w platform seem : to indicate that a straddle 'ivili not be pop tar. It has resulted in a study of loss a : gain. The belief of many leading repu henna is that in case of a straddle in pIn form hero and a free coinage declarath at Chicago , the gold democrats would p tip a candidate and carry some of time cat ecu states. A straddle to bold the silv states , the leaders now here say. would lo New York , New Jersey and Connectictmt , case a gold man was in time field. Time ably men declare that no straddle time repu Ilcans could adopt would hold Colorado at such states against a combination of dem crats and republicans on free silver plu fornis. Time figuring is being done on ti basis of the electorai college , and it is ii elmired that time only logical and candid n'g will be to condemn free coinage and decla : in unmistakable terms for the present atan ant. The phraseology of the declaration under consideration by many of the leader and many suggestions nra non' beIng mad but tIme indicationt are that a straddle is be avoided when the platform Is final drawn. drawn.IMMETALLISM lIT FORCE.

In 1S93 England closed ti mints of India to silver and we ropeafi the Sherman law. Strange as it mtty rm pear. those two events took place whthi thirty days of each other , It would hoc very much like collusion , only we am-a a : sure(1 that it was done to "restore com fidenee.
