Show IE POLITICAL ARENA Tom Kearns Returned Yesterday from Cleveland H HAS ROSEATE VISIONS BELIEVES TIE SILEXCE IS A GOOD OMEN FOR SILVER Tribune Crowd Getting Greatly Wor ned Over Crimes Staying Qualities Quali-ties Republicmi Record ou United istivtex CojmuiMfeioncrjs Orgranrzu tion in the Seventeenth Ward I is an old saying that men are tout children of a larger growth and this is hardly teter illustrated than In the aplcato of old nursery jingles to the acts of prominent men For instance in-stance what could be more applicable to he case of the Republican delegates who went from Utah to the league conve Non at Cleveland than the old saying The king of France with fifty thousand thous-and men Marched up the hill and then marched down again Before they went the delegates were brave and leonine They would mieet the hateful gold bug in his lair they would shake their manes and roar a defiance They would tell the strad 1 Ing Republicans of the east that tine L was tired of straddles and ae t tld that something more be given 1 he alternative of a secession of the western stateo Au Inglorious Return Now they are coming back Those who have talked most fiercely against piildbugs who on every occasion have counseled sleepless watchfulness who htve talked about snares and pitfalls have derided the mistakes of the past and pointed a mol for the future have been the first to succumb Who did not feel that silver had an able champion and brave defender when tnV only Tom Kearns said he would dmand a hearing and tell the Republicans Repub-licans the west would be satisfied with nothing but a straight declaration for silver And who can help but be disappointed dis-appointed when this sane defender 1rmes back tricked by a transparent ubterfuge blinded to the deep purpose pur-pose underlying the silence at the convention and endorse its action with a stentorian declaration that the i sul at Cleveland means victory for the tv silver > wing of the Republican party IvearuV Roseate Views Mr Kearns returned yesterday and 4 tpoke as follows to a Herald reporter k The action of the Cleveland contention con-tention was clearly a good stroke fort for-t e silver men and a dissapointment LO tie enemies of silver and goldbugs gfiierall I is wonderful to note the growth and extent of the silver senti innt in the east Michigan Pennsylvania Pennsyl-vania and Indiana are strongtly in favor of bimetallism Even in the Ntw York delegation there was quite < sprinkling of silver sentiment and i was emphatically stated by a prom anent representative that If the silver question went to the vote of the peo jMe the friends of silver would carry the state The members from Michigan gan headed by Hopkins were par tirirly strong and there is no doubt bu that Michigan will line up as a ler I i state J 3 t fpec < a < uiar Young Man Ttit real leader of the western free Filver forces was Senator Dubois of I4aho who made a strong and aggres jive speech in defense of the white iietal Warner Miller too showed the right mettle by declaring that the omntry cannot do business on a single tandard Senator Thurston however was a disappointment to the silver men and his speech at the convention was a weak effort IIIFoundcil Hope There is victory in store for the silver ver men in 96 if they will only hang together I am hearty in favor of the organization in all th silver states of Republican silver leagues In 96 they should demand lecognifcion in the national na-tional Republican onvention I they wiliTdo this and go in as a unit there HPJ be no doubt about the success of e V movement f Tribune Getting Warmer The Tribune crowd Is evidently be c > ming much worried over the way things are going Evidences of the pernicious activity of the Crane politicians poli-ticians in this city have lately been piling in vith remarkable regularity and an ability to disturb that has aroused all the latent ire The esteemed es-teemed Tribune for some time has baen tailing loudly for the resignation oft of-t arley Crane realizing that he was using his office a territorial chairman Aith good effect The attacks at first were somewhat guarded but the i stronger the necessity the worse the p attacks by the esteemed flute The Open Letter At last yesterday it brought out along a-long editorial paragraph of half a column col-umn headed Open Letter to Charley C ane and telling him When you ajigspted the position of chairman oft of-t Republican territorial committee yj made an implied contract with the party that your > best exertions should be made in behalf not of this candidate candi-date or that candidate not in your own behalf tout in behalf of the whole party You are breaking this contract every day Mr Crane You are sending send-ing out lickspittles of the party men whose loyalty and patriotism are guaged by the amount of money j ju pay them to work tor yourself and two or three other oth-er candidates The sort of menU < men-U employ for the work disgusts decent de-cent Republicans all over the territory terri-tory You are not doing yourself any good not helping very much the men you have contracted to work for and you are hurting the Republican party Evidently Very Fearful The Tribunes characteristic is ludicrous lu-dicrous inconsistency and therefore i Is not at all surprising to find a direct contradiction farther down in these words I is said you intend to resign in the course of the next six weeks In the next six weeks the plans for the campaign will tbe mostly formulated Everyone knows this and hence the impression given is that you do not mean to resign until you have all your personal stakes set for office The flute i evidently afraid that the work will do good despite its previous assurance J Of Course Aot 4b J3ut the esteemed Tribune is a joker Ir Buffoonery comes handy Therefore it could not have such I paragraph without with-out at least one hilarious sentence Therefore I said Do you think this is mere Tribune spleen As Crane has a large sense of humor he is likely to have a good laugh over that question But the attack shows one thing very plainly The Tribune crowd is JA length beginning to realize that its cjMnv > of Republican harmony were I airytireams and that there is nothing to do but to make a straight fight on I the machine or see the rosy visions of state printing galore go glimmering There seems to be small chance of Re I vuhlican harmony this fall though when a paper can swallow the actions I of the Denver and Cleveland conventions conven-tions H Trill have small excuse for gorging at Crane I Mr Crane was out of the city yesterday yes-terday and could not be seen about the j att However his intimates can i i imagiuo what expression he l used when he learned of it I was I probably Oh dn S the Tribune Republican Commihsiouers The appointment of Morris Sommer seems to worry the Tribune campaign lair considerably said a prominent politician yesterday and it would like t make I appear that the standard of Democratic commissioners has been I considerably lowered Perhaps the young man Jn question inferentially I points with pride to the record of the Republican supreme court But that will hardly do The public still vividly I remember ceitain investigations made a few years ago into the records of I commisioners appointed by the Repub lican supreme court with Judge Zane at its head The names of Commissioner Commis-sioner Martin and Commissioner Booth have not yet faded from memory from Scventeetlj Wards Society The Seventeenth Ward Democratic society met last
