Judging from..ttip reports prhited.in , the
ICansas and Nebraeka mewspapers tlio5tt'two
states are to-he. blessed 'again with' the
most bountiful harvests , The Topeka Corn-
monwealtit says that Kansas is on the eve
of one of the heaviest crops it ever produced -
duced , and The Omaha Dee claims that
from every section of Nebraska come tidIngs -
Ings of a prospective bountiful harvest. This
wlll be good news for the whole country ,
for there can be no assured prosperity without -
out good crops. The Omaha Dec estimates ,
that the Nebraska crops this year sv111 be
worth $109,000,000 , and it adds that the total '
silver product of the whole country is
$30,000,000 or $40,000,000 short each year of
the annual agricultural product of Ne-
braska's fauns. Such an illustration shows
what a difference there is between the size
of a product and ho noise it Cali make In
the commercial world.

The story that President Cleveland and
several maniLers of his cabinet will support -
port McKinley agahmst a lace silver democrat -
crat is probably nothhmg more than conjecture -
jecture , but It 1s ryssonable enough , There
are timousanda of the rank and file of the
party who will pursue that course , and
thousands besides who will trot vote at alt
Frmn individual experience It Is safe to
prcdlct that time deserters svlll be uunbered
by thousands in this city alone. There is
no business ntau in Chicago who cannot
name at least halt a dozen democrats in his

Iusted at lime thought of the silver convention -
tion that they have bolted already. Men
svlto have voted the straight ticket far thirty
years svlll assist at the party's defeat and

than the republicans in their denunciation
of Altgeld and the other wreckers.

I ant not attempthmg to say anything about
tlio merit of to speech. What I seep to
describe is the effect produced by a lawyer
of Omaha who came hero unheralded and
carried away the honors of the tiny. Let
me uuolo a comment of a literary friend of
inlne , Captain O'Conor , wino did not listen
to the oration , but who read it twice over
on Sunday morning , He said : "Twenty
years ago I heard a speech of Garfield at.
Madison , anti I ronember saying to my
wife at the time , 'that man will ho president -

Estalrook-is he a young man-has made
a deep impression upon every tllnkiug soul

I quote this , as I might a great deal more ,
from observant mid reflective people whomim
I have seen , just to express to your brilliant
townsman that he did make a very palpable

of the present gold standard mud against the
unlimited coinngo of silver at any ratio.
Glvo the nation a chance to spurn debasement -

elded , and of that platform the financlal
plank is the paramount problem , More depends -
pends upon It than words can tell. Tile oh-
ject to be mahdy sought Is not party success -
cess next November. That will come any-
how. It would come with any platform or
with none. Above party is country. Before -
fore time question how to win at the polls , is
the question how to insure the public welfare -
fare , to preserve the national honor , to secure -
cure time peace , the prosperity and the hn-
dustrlal and commercial stability of 70,000-
000 people. To that end the St. Louis platform -
form must declare for sound money in terms
that will leave no room for doubt as to what
is meant by sound money and how it is to
be maintained. Away with glittering generalities -
eralities ! Evasion and equivocation in sucit
a crisis as now confronts the country are I
an abomination.

platform Iowa will go republican by 100,000
majority. It appears timely to add that
under similar circumstances , or with any
other silver and populist candidate ad
platform , Illinois will go republican by 170 , .
000 majority , of which Cook county will
contribute more than built ,
Sioux City Tribune : Governor holes has
