Governor McKinley said a year ago at Thornpsonville, Ga., that "If the* Republican platform declares for free coinage I will not be a candidate. ( 1 would not run on a free silver platform.'- This is surely explicit enough. Taken with his remarks on the monetary ques­ tion before the^M^Irquet^fNclub that ht favored the^use of gold, silvefc-and paper as money, but so regulated t y lafl\that a dollar of each was on a parity witlK a dollar of the other. He is a silver man and a paper man as he is a gold man and to that extent only, but it is the platform of the people and upon that he will surely win. Senator Forakerin a speech at Cin­ cinnati, said: il\Vhen the National Con­ vention meets at St. Louis, on June 16, the Republican party will declare its be­ lief in bimetallism and its opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver until it can be brought about through international agreement or sdtae other means that will neither advance nor de­ preciate any dollar of the United States, but maintain its face value the world over. And 1 may say we are practically agreed as to a candidate, and I believe Win, McKinley will be nominated by ac­ clamation I maj say that Governor McKinley has delegated this work to me, and I think I know whereof I Rneak " HOPKINS RENOMINATED. At the Republican Congressional Con veption, held at Aurora on Monday last Hon. A. «T. Hopkins was renominated for Congress"by ̂ acclaiuation, there being no opposition to him. For Member of the State Board of Equalization the e was a sharp fight, there^being three candidates in the field) vi?; R. W. Willitt, of Kendall county; Captain Rogers, of Da Pago county, and H.,S. Wiiliams, of McHenry. county. Captain Rogers was finally nominated on the twenty seventh ballot. For delegates to the National Conven­ tion. H. I). Judson, of Aurora, and I. Lr Ellwood, of DeKalb, were chosen. The alternates are T. B. Stewart, of Kane, and H. D. Crumb, of McHenry. For Presidential Elector, II. L.Sackett, of Grundy, was named. The old Congressional committee was re ippointed. Following are the resolutions adopted. WHEREAS. The country has entered upon its-fourth and final year's disaster under Democratic misrule, and sees the dawn of restored prosperity with the re­ turn, to Republican administration, Resolved, That the Republicans of the Eighth Congressional District in conven­ tion assembled, declare their firm adher­ ence to the policy of protection which shall restore increased prosperity to the Natfeh and -tbe- wages of wOrkerp. In the hands of that stalwart exponent of Americanism, Hon. Williaia McKinley; We feel that this will be assured- , -• Respired, That we fa vor a reciprocity law, which, while seeking the world'1? markets for our isitrplj]8 products, shall not "destroy American wages nor surren­ der the home markets for such articles as can be made^by * our own citizens. We commend the efforts of ourcongressman, Hon. A. J. Hopkins, in that behalf. Resolved, That we are in favor of hon­ est money, every dollar of which shall be of equal purchasing power, the mainte­ nance of national credit, and the rescue of the national treasury from its impend­ ing bankruptcy. Resolved, That we demand that the .national honor be preserved inviolate at home and abroad, and that American citizenship shall ajrain become a safe­ guard throughout the world. With this accomplished we affirm our faith in the achievement of the manifest destiny of the republic as the best form of govern­ ment on earth.

"During the past week," says Mr. Hanna, "McKinley is credited with the following gains : Illinois, 24; Vermont, ft; Michigan, 14; Missouri, 2; North Car­ olina, 2; Arizona, 6; Alabama, 2; Geor­ gia, 3; total, 61. It is considered the most important week of the campaign, because it was marked by the engage­ ments in Illinois and Vermont, that were iSST" Certain Democratic newspapers have 6een fit to inaugurate the state campaign by publishing studied and ma­ licious misrepresentations regarding an unfortunate occurence in the early life of John R. Tanner, the Republican nominee for Governor. All the facts are well known to the people of Illinois, because they were widely published and thor­ oughly discussed during the campaign of 1886, when Tanner was the nominee of the party for State Treasurer, and re­ ceived the largest plurality given to any candidate from the years immediately following the war to the wonderful cam paign which he conducted two years ago. There never has been any attempt made either by Tanner or his friends to conceal the facts in connection with this affair, because they in no way reflect discredit on Mr. Tanner. All that his friends de­ sire is, that, if the matter is to be dis­ cussed, the actual facts shall be made known. ***** It is only necessary to add that within one year after his trial for this homicide and his acquittal Tanner was elected Sheriff of Clay county against a popular Democratic candidate, by the people who were thoroughly fami­ liar with all the facts in connection with the death of Tom Erskin. He was not elected because his party was in the ma­ jority, because no Republican had ever been elected to office in Clay county be­ fore, and his election at that- particular time would have been impossible if even a small minority 91 the voters of Clay county had considered him in the least degree at fault in killing Tom Erskin un­ der the circumstances.--Springfield (111.) Journal. UNCLE SHELBY'S PROPHECY. Senator Cullom may not be Illinois' • first and only choice for President of the United States, but he is not one of those rash, intruding politicians who require a house to fall on them a second time to Btand from under. He has returned to Washington a wiser man and in no way does he better demonstrate his wisdom than in his concealment of the sadness incident to his recent increase in knowl­ edge. His reception in Washington was of that jocular nature likely to greet a. man on his safe escape from a bramble bush into which he had inconsiderately jumped. It is related that Uncle Shelby tsok the chaffing good-naturedly, and then said: \ou fellows can have all the. fun with me you want, and if you would like to know just exactly what has happened to me you go out on your front steps next winter during a blizzard and ask the wind to stop blowing. The people of this country have already selected the next President, and nothing will prevent his nomination and election. I have found that out during the last week to my sat­ isfaction. Nearly every vote I got 'in the Springfield convention was cast a a per­ sonal compliment, and if 1 had not gone put there myself I don't believe I would have received any votes at all. It would be well for some of the wise men of Washington to come out into the wilderness and pluck a few leaves from tree of knowledge like those Senator Cul­ lom has been ruminating on for the last few days. They would understand that the people demand the nomination of McKinley^and they„will not be satisfied until they get what they want.--Chicago Post. won by McKinley and considered deci­ sive by his managers. In his latest table> Gen. Grosvenor creditad McKinley with only 24 votes in Illinois. Now the McKinley men claim 48, the entire vote of the state. Their claim is based'on the fact that Cullom is out of the race, and their belief that the action of the state convention will bind the Illinois dele­ gates. In addition to this is the fact that Dr. Jamieson, leader ot the anti- McKinley forces in Illinois, telegraphed me during the convention that McKinley would get all the delegates or none at all. I believe that through the state con­ vention he has captured all of them. There were two conventions in Arizona, b u t t h e M c K i n l e y m a n a g e r s c l a i m w i t h confidence that seems to be based on in­ side information that six delegates elect­ ed by their friends will be seated. Her* is the McKinley list to date: Alabama, 20 ; Arkansas. 16 ; Arizona, 6; Florida 8; Georgia, 22; Illinois, 48; Indiana, 30 Kansas, 20; Kentucky, 11; Louisiana, 8 Maryland, 9; Michigan, 16; Minnesota, 18; Mississippi, 18; Missouri, 30; Ne­ braska, 16; New Jersey, 16 ; New York, Ohio, 46; Oklahoma, 4; Oregon, 8; Pennsylvania, 4;J North Carolina, 6 South Carolina, 17, South Dakota, 8 Texas, 12; Virginia, 23; West Virginia, 4; Vermont, 8; Wisconsin, 24; Utah. 1; Tennessee, 24; North Dakota, 6; New Mexico, 4; total, 505. That means McKinley's nomination on the first ballot, with 50 votes to spare I expect a general stampede to him when the convention meets."

The man who works for daily wages is« most of all interested in having a stable currency and unobstructed exchange The waste, the extravagance, the cost of war, or famine, or armed neutrality falls finally on the man whose only capi­ tal is his power to work.^ . Just as the aggregate production in creased, iust as capital in its various forms accumulates, wage: advance and interest declines. Anything that puts an arbitrary re­ striction on production, anything that discourages the investment of capital lessens the opportunity of employment for labor. There is no mystery about this; the truth is brought home to the laboring tntu daily. If railroad traffic falls of, men are discharged; repairs are post­ poned ; no new lines are built. When business revives more trains are run; more engineers and brakemen needed; more freight hundlers are ployed. Business is alack and a great factory closes until there is a demand for their product. This throws laboring men out of employment, and if the factory1 is closed for any length of time these men suffer. Now, business is dull when the future is uncertain, and nothing renders the future so uncertain as attacks on our financial standards. A dollar to-day should be a dollar twenty years hence. A promise to pay five years hence must be a definite promise or a man will find sortie difficulty in borrowing. Attacks on the money standards of a country are attacks on its prosperity; capital grows nervous and business be- all comes stagnant.
