the Dudley crowd did in Texas and the
sound money Democrats refused to go
into the party primaries, just as thou-

principle that they who countenance
fraud become particeps criminis.

The Old Alcade appears to have taken

The Democratic organ in Missouri, re-
ferring to the disgraceful conduct of the
primaries, declared that “good men did
not vote,” but simply held aloof, because
they knew that the cards had been

Our friends the Populists have decided
.to pitch their tents on Galveston island in
the ripening month of August and be-
come joint partakers in the cooling salt
sea breezes and delightful midsummer cli-
anate of the only gulf port.
The city of oleanders has invited the
Populists to come and rest in her bosom
and her arms will be outstretched to re-
ceive them.
She has offered her hospitality and she
has no fear that it will be abused lly the
eolons of the new political faith, compris-
ing so large a percentage of the citizen-
ship of the state. Galveston comprises
a cosmopolitan population. She has “in
her midst” Republicans, Democrats, Pop-
ulists, Prohibitionists, hard money ad-
vocates and soft money advocates—pos-
sibly some A. P. As.—and other sorts of
political associations, some new women
and—no old women. But Galveston peo-
ple are tolerant of opinions, political or
otherwise, broad minded and liberal, and
they move along in the even tenor of their
way without friction or jolting. When
the Populists gather here they will be
■welcomed by all sects and sexes, all
classes and conditions, and it will be the
pride of Democrats and Republicans and
everybody else to aid those of the Popu-
lists’ own political faith in showing them
courteous attention and in contributing
to the pleasure of their stay on the sea
girt isle.

ORATORICAL YOUNG MEN.
Chicago, Ill., May 1.—‘Numbers of col-

dates the widespread interest in the an-
nual contest of the Northern Oratorical
League, to take place in Central music
hall this evening. Six young men will

a cash prize of $100. They will represent
Oberlin University, the University of Chi-
cago, Northwestern University and the

tion will act as judges: President -Swain,
of the University of Indiana; President
Thwimg, of the Western Reserve Univer-
sity; ex-Scnator John J. Ingalls, of Kan-

apolis. Ex-President Harrison has also
accepted an invitation to preside, but
subsequently found it impossible to come.

The Austin Statesman thinks that the
absence of sound money Democrats from
the Missouri state convention was an
evidence of fraud. The Statesman seems
to forget that there is no minority repre-
centation in this country.—Houston Post.
The Statesman probably does not for-
get, however, that the so called Democrat
primaries in Missouri were of such a
fraudulent character that sound money
Democrats did not participate in them

MR. GALBRAITH.
Thinks the Nevv_Committee Will Adjust
the Gulf Grain Rates Satisfactorily.
Mr. J. E. Galbraith, general freight
and passenger agent of the International
and Great Northern, is in (the city. When
seen by a Tribune man this morning he
said he knew nothing more of the freight
meeting in St. Louis yesterday than he
ha d read in the papers.
“Since the Missouri Pacific’s position
that it is entitled to -do business from all
its stations -in competition to all other
lines, and concedes Galveston’s right to
a differential, I take it that the rates
will now be speedily and satisfactorily
adjusted by the committee, to whom the
matit-er has been -referred. I do not un- *
derstand why the Missouri Pacific did :
not make the same rates to Galveston
that it did to New Orleans in the begin-
ning, but I presume the matter .could be
explained. I have no doubt that the rates
will now be made satisfactory.”
MISSOURI PACIFIC SUSTAINED.
A meeting, of the executive officers of
western lines''to,as held at the Southern
hotel, St. Lou'is, yesterday to take action
concerning grain rates to the gulf. The
protest of the Missouri Pacific against
the existing tariff, under the award of

■which
metals
For a time their claim seemed
founded and the indications
seemed to point to the complete triumph
of the free silver forces in the Democratic
national convention, but some of the cal-
culations have gone astray. Sound money
delegates have been secured from what
[were sunposed to be free silver strong-
holds and occasion has arisen -for a re-
vision of tables.
The two old parties would face each
other upon as distinct an issue in 1896 as
they did in 1892, if one should declare for
gold and the other for silver and the
bolters from each convention, for bolters
there will be, both at St. Louis and Chi-
cago, could change their party vestments
to fit the new conditions. But suppose
both the parties shall, declare unequivo-
cally for the gold -standard, will the bolt-
ers then go to the free silver party, the
Populists, or will there be such a mul-
tiplicity of presidential tcikets in the
field *as will throw the election into con-
gress, neither of the candidates receiv-
ing a majority of all the votes cast?
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas will
give a maximum rate of $5 for the round
trip from any point in Texas to the state
good roads league convention to be held
in Galveston in June, and all the other
Toads should be as liberal. The good
roads movement ought to challenge the
sympathy and support of all classes and
of all interests. It means the develop-
ment of the state and the saving of mil-
lions of dollars as the cost of using bad
roads.

There can be no doubt as to- the pro-
nouncement of the Republican national
convention on the financial question, prac-
tically the only issue in national politics
in the pending -campaign.
North, south, east and'west the declar-
ation of nearly every Republican conven-
tion held has been for the gold standard
and against the independent free coinage
cf the white metal.
The rather dubious utterance of the
Ohio platform on the money question, pre-
isutned to have been 'dictated by Major
McKinley, was something of a disap-
pointment to those who looked to the
Republican party for a distinct declara-
tion against fiat money or any dangerous
financial experiment, while those who
[were unfriendly to the Ohio man charged
’him with an evident purpose to straddle
the dominant-issue of the -campaign.
[Whatever may have been the inclination
of Mr. McKinley and his supporters in
Ohio at the time their state convention
/was held, subsequent events have very
clearlj- shown that the convention whicn
[will most probably nominate Mr. McKin-
ley for the presidency, will frame a plat-
Iform for Him to stand on so unmistakably
for the single gold standard that there
can be no misconstruing or misunder-

REID TALKS POLITICS.
The Presidential Situation Reviewed by
the Great Editor.
Phoenix, A. T., April 30.—In a recent
interview, Mr. Whitelaw Reid, who has
been visiting here for the past two
months, said, when asked as to his per-
sonal preference for president; “I am
heartily in favor of the nominee at St.
Louis. I know and esteem all the candi-
dates that have been mentioned thus far.
With most of them I have had. rela tions of
cordial friendship for many years. Alli-
son, for instance, I saw sworn in for hiis
first term in the lower house, nearly 35
years ago, and I have known him since
as -one -of the soundest and -safest Repub-
licans.
“Four years ago all these candidates
supported me and with a good will and
cordiality I can never forget, and my
one desire now is to.be in a position to
give whichever of them may be chosen
the heartiest and most efficient support
in my power. As to which of the candi-
dates named have ithe best chance, any
one can answer that just as well as I,
and the answer would be worth as much.
McKinley may not be the man, but he
certainly seems now to have a long lead.”
“But the field is against him,” was
suggested; “it is anybody to- beat Me-'
Kinley.”
“Pardon me,” replied Mr. Reid, “it is
hardly that. We may have had such con-
tests in the past, 'but this is not one of
them. A few gentlemen who intend to
relieve the national Republican party of
the trouble of nominating a candidate by
settling it among themselves may feel
that way. but the delegates are of con-
trary opinion. Pennsylvania, for in-
stance, will no doubt support Senator
Quay in good faith as long a-s its dele-
gates think he has any chance, but if
they, fail with him they will not then be
hunting around for anybody else to beat
McKinley—not a bit of it.
“As a matter of fact, a number of them
are eager to vote.for McKinley.as soon
as possible. The New Hampshire dele-
gates gave a pretty good. clue the o^ier
day in their state convention as to bow
they would feel in case they could not get
Reed. Evidently they are not hunting
for anybody to beat McKinley.
“Nobody can tell -who -is. sure to be
nominated until the convention has had
a chance to express its own wishes upon
that subject. But it is perfectly evident
that this is not a year in which the Re-,
publican delegates from any considerable
number -of states are .going to be massed
by self -seeking bosses in a compact col-
umn, hunting for anybody to beat some-
body else.” ,
Mr. Reid was asked what he considered
the great issue of the campaign.
“There is just one great issue, he
answered, “ which the people all over
the country have in mind, and when the
people of this country get one idea in
their heads they are likely to have their
way about it. Four year's ago this peo-
ple, under the rule of the party which
had practically directed their govern-
ment for .30 years, reached the absolute
high water mark of prosperity record in
the whole 100 years or more of their his-
tory. They then made a change. The
next year every vote showed that they
thought it a mistake and wanted fo get
■back again to where they had been. Every
elect-ion since shows that they continue
to feel the same way stronger and
stronger.
“The 'one thing which overshadows
everything else in their minds is the de-
termination to undo the .mistake and get
back again -to the rule of the party which
had always given them protection and
sound money. That’s the issue, and no
combination of politicians or newspa-
pers of bankers, or cunning wire piil-
ers manufacturing foreign war, scares
can divert them from their purpose or
make anything else the issue.”
POPULIST CALL.
‘Smithfield, Tex., April 28—To the Pop-
ulists of Texas: At. our last'‘State Con-
vention it was provided that our platform
committee should consist of one member
from each congressional district,, to. be
elected by said congressional districts
throughout the -state in 1896. That said
committee should meet at the place for
holding the state convention three days
before the sitting of said body; therefore,
by virtue of said action I hereby order
the congressional conventions of the Peo-
ple's party of the state of Texas fib elect
a member of the platform committee
when they meet in their respective con-
ventions; said committee to be ready to
convene on Aug. 6, 189'6, at the place for
holding our state conyention, due notice
of which will be given the public in ample
time. I hope the people will be careful in
the selection -of these committeemen, as
much depends upon their wisdom, care
and patriotism.
I also hereby call a meeting of the
state executive committee at the same
time and place.
The following basis for the election of
•delegates to the national convention has
been adopted and will goveen in the selec-
tion of your delegates: Elect one dele-
gate for each 2060 votes at last election,
and one delegate for your congressman.
The basis of representation to the state
convention is one delegate for each 300
cast for T. L. Nugent at the last election.
Wisdom, patriotism, conservatism and
fealty to principle should characterize all
our actions. Yours fraternally,
H. S. P. Ashby.

PRIZE WINNERS RETURN.
The Princeton Boys Carrying Their
Trophies With Them.
New York, N. Y.,-May l.—Four ®f the
prize winners in the Olympian games at
Athens last month, A. G. Tyler, E. A.
Lane, H. B. Jamison and Robert Garrett,
all of Princeton, arrived here today on the
North German Lloyd steamer Spree from
Bremen. All were in the best of health
and spirits and delighted with their trip.
At the steamship pier they were wel-
comed by members of their immediate
families,'and then took the train for
Princeton.
The procession down the gang plank
was led by Garrett, who captured the
three of olive and laurel wreaths pre-
sented to prize winners in the Stadian by
the king of Greece. Tyler -carried his
vaulting poles and will preserve them as
interesting mementoes of a memorable
trip.’ All the boys wore medals of gold
and blue enamel received as prizes. What
were cherished most were the wreaths.

wish to avoid making any statement con-
cerning the result of yesterday’s conven-
tion. We have from the first made no
prediction or prophecies and have en-
deavored to conduct Maj. McKinley’s
campaign on clean, honest, upright prin-
ciples. We have sincerely believed
from the outset that he was the logical
candidate for the presidency, and subse-
quent events have substantiated this
■opinion.”
