The ordinary voter, whether Re publican or Democratic especially silver Democrats, Republicans and Populists should remembei that he does not get the office of party suc cess and that his reward, if it comas at all, comes in the shape of favora ble legislation.

It ought not re quire any man, who has arrive! at the mature years of computing on his fingers, very long to make out this sum. But those who oppose union, es- pecially gold Republicans and Dem-L ocrats. because they do not want the great plain people to have fa vorable legislation which defends them against the robberies of monop oly, will say silver Republicans, Democrats and Populisms are not agreed as to the legislation wanted and cannot therefore consistently vote for the same candidates.

The testimony taken before the Senate Committee on Foreign Kela- tions in connection with the investi- gation into the relation between the United States and Cnba was made public Thursday. It canstl- tutes a book of about GTj0 pages, and includes not only the testimony taken since the disaster to the Maine, but much that was taken before, and running back for a year or more. The statement whieh contains the greatest current interest is that made by Consul Genera! Lee, on April 12. In this statement. General Lee said that he was informed on very good authority the Spaniards had placed two rows of toroedoes inst at the mouth of the Havana harbor by Morro Castle within the oast two jaorro castle witnin tne past two months, or subsequent to the Maine disaster, and that the switchboard is in a room in the castle. He said, however, that he had no information of the placing of any torpedoes be- fore the Maine was destroyeJ, and none in regard to the purchase ihrn.H hv ihl RnanisV, anthnritiflft. - j i IT A "oo yuu any mowu w puuuoo that the harbor was mined at all be hooks as though the effort of the cote fore the blowing up cf the Maine?', rie of office-holders and office-seekers asked Senator Frye. "No sir; I had no reason to sus pect anything of the sort up to that time." Explosion From The Outside. With reference to the responsi bility for the destruction of the Maine, Gn. Lee said: "l am sausned tne explosion was from the outside. I cabled the State Department a few days after the board assembled that it was most certain that the explosion was from the exterior. 1 have always had an idea about the Maine that, of course, it was not blown up by any private individual or by any private citizen, but it was blown up by some of the officers who had charge of the mines and electrical wires and torpedoes in the arsenal there who thoroughly understood their business, for it was done remarkably well.

We quote a paragraph f rom eacu Sound Mono Sluah. w The fusion proposition is meeting with as little encouragement in lodt ana as it is in Minnesota and numer ous other States where it has been tried on. The Indiana Populists at tbeir State Convention recently, after a stormj Dieting, rejected fusion, un- "eating the one member of the com mittee ft am Indiana who favored fu on and electing in bis place a man devotd io traignt Populism, and ap- peaied t0 i0pUiiat8 generally to reject i9 pr0p0,ition fo? the merging of their party with the Democracy so called.

We would call the above pair twins. It is evident the gold power has secured a powerful ally in the mid-road faction headed by Wharton Barker. It is also evident that the gold power has also secured an ally in Utah in the organization, as It exists, of the Democratic committee or at least the chairman and secretary of said committee not to men tion the Salt Lako Herald. The Wharton Darker Populists say we will go it alone, wo can win in P.KX) without tho silver Republicans or the ropuiists. 1 he goldbug committee sits hard by and says go it ruoya you arcon the right track.

The goldbug committee rises from its rest, shies a cuss wora at tnem ana says you d Divide up there, each take a road (in perpetuating monopoly). The goldbugs on the State Democratic Committee in this State have declared that if there is any "co-operation" that it must bo " inside the Democratic party." Everybody knows that the purpose of this defla tion is to capture tho next Legislature and for the gold ring to elect the next President. Are the " mid-roaders" working for the same end ? Er.
