Judge Simonton, Thursday, handed own an opinion declaring mvaiiu ids certificates of nomination of Senator Wil liam B. Meredith and W. H. Kilter, the contesting Republican candidates for Sen ator in the Armstrong-Butler district. In this cane Jere It. Rex, a representa tive of the State Committee, participated iu the conference, and voted for Mero- ith. Bitter was nominated by the three Butler conferees, w hich the Court decides ere a miuority of the conference. The Court takes the stand that "there is nothing in the case that would warrant decision that Mr. Ilex was a legal mem ber. It is not claimed or pretended tnat there is any written rule which authoris ed the SUte Central Committee or its hairiuan to appoint him a memtier. ' But it is argued that there was a custom hich authorized it and a necessity which warranted it, We can not find a custom in the evidence. There can be no doubt that some remedy for the existing state of alrairs ought speedily to be sought and applied. The machinery at present in use for making 'ougrcttsionai and Senatorial nominations has in many eases brokon down com- letely wbeu set in motion. The influ ence of local aud county pride and jeal ousy tends strongly to prevent agree ment. And the evils of the system aro greatly aggravated by the rule w hich au thorize candidates to select the confer ees. Naturally they select their per sonal friends, and they, after being select ed, consider themselves the agents and representatives of the candidates who se lect them, rather than of the party. In consequence of this their minds are not open to Impartial consideration of the merits and availability, of the respective candidates or to impartially weighing the interests of the party to which they be long. It is not for us to prescrilie a remedy Fok the first time in its history the Herai.w is without the name of a can didate for Congress at the head of its columns two weeks prior to a Congres sional election, and, for the first time since its formation, the Republicans of the Twentieth Congressional distnc have been practically disfranchised, so far as voting for a regularly nominated Republican candidate I concerned, and w ill le compelled to vote an etuascula ted ticket on November 3d. Tiie res ponsibility for this unprecedented and calamitous state of aflairs rests wan f-u- individuals who. by their aimo: criminal grwnl and selfishness, thei willingness to sultordinate party and country to personal gain and personal ambition, brouzht it about. That thei constituents will call them sternly t account for their betrayal of confidence, their neglect of duty, their reckless and shameless trilling with their most sa cred privileges, goes without saying. But, of this we will speak more tully at some other time. It would be a hor rible criminality if this staunch Rcpuli lican district, with its stupendous nian-uf.i-'nritig industries, should, at this time of 'l othtrs, be lost to the party whose principles represent its every iu tenV, and whose success at the jsills will bring prosjicrity, contentment and huppiness to its people, and should lie rcpn-sented in the Federal Congress by i he candidate of the party r free trade, free silver, repudiation an J dishonor. And this will most likely come to pass if the present suicidal intention of both Messrs. Josiah I). Hicks and Joseph K. Thropp to remain on the ticket "by nomination pajiers" is persisted in to Hie nd. With one of them on the ticket, McNamara may be defeated; with lsth of them on, he can not tie. One or the other should withdraw, if the district is to I saved, aud that right speedily. After the tickets are printed it may Is- too late. The friends of lsth aspirants should urge, insist, demand, that the question as to who shall withdraw and w ho shall remain on the ticket lie left to some person or body to decide, aud the decree should be quickly made; sod fiaaL The chair- en icaoo, III., Oct. 17. The Repiibli.-au National Committee to-day issued an elaborate statement, taking as a basis the table given out this week by the Demo cratic Congressional Committee, which showed the uumlier of Representatives they expect to elect, and deducing from that table the claim that the Democrats thus admit the election of McKinley.

On Tuesday the chming price for Octo ber winter wlieal was i4.S7 cents, a rise nco July 1 of b!J cents, and iu some of the options the rise has been even great- Yesterday a sharp decline occurred with speculative realizing, but was at ouce followed by as slurp a recovery, and the price closed at 7t". cents. This advance of nearly 'IA cents in the cash price of wheat haa been closely followed at Chicago, where wheat is now selling at about 70 cents. Nor have the farmers to bear higher rail rates than were paid summer. In brief, reckoning only bout 3U l.diiil.liiii J bushels as the quantity sold for distant shipment, the rise has been worth alsmt 10,(11 M,0t)U to the farmers, w hich is more than the entire alue of a year's output of silver. for the difficulty.

In which he claims an overwhelming vie? tory. He says: "On August 19 I gave to a representative of the press, at his earn est solicitation, a prognostication of the rult of the Presidential election. In this I said I tielieved that McKinley and Hobart would carry at least twenty-eight States and receive fully 3"2 electoral votes and a majority of tbe popular vote. This opinion I still confidently adhere to. "In, my judgment, the Republican can dates w ill receive the electoral vote of the three Pacific States. California, Oregon and Washington, and also Wyoming. They w ill carry the three Southern States of .Vary land, West Virginia aud Ken tucky, and have more than an even chance iu Missouri. They will carry the six New England States and the four Middle States, New York, Pennsylvania. New Jersey and Delaware, hy over whelming majorities. They will-eccive the electoral votes of JJorth Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, luwa, Illinois, Indiaua, Qhiu, Michigan aud Wisconsin. "This prognostication is tl result of tbe most careful iuquiry of the men w hose source of information and judg ment are most to l relied upon in the management of the Republican cam paign.

Should there he, he argues, no ad vance in the price of silver there will lie no increase in the price of wheat In other words one controls the other. What are the facts? Withiu the past week wheat has jumped "lo a bushel in pri-e ami since the first of September nearly 31 cents. Last Monday wheat sold in Chicago, which is naturally the grain selling renter of this country, for (ft cents per bushel, w hen the wheat market closed on Saturday wheat sold for " cants per bushel (and at San Francisco for si cents 1, and the dispatches state that there is a prospector still further advance this week, all of which is g-Ksl news to be farmer who haa wheat to sell. But has silver taken a jump in price iu proMrtion to wheat.? It baa not. On Saturday liar silver was quoted in New urk at w cents per ounce, or p)J rents less than the price of a bushel of wheat Silver did not jump with wheat. The Mexican dollar was quoted in New Yonk on Saturday at 30' cents. The Mexican dollar is cents shy of the price of bushel of wheat, and has more silver i n it tbau the American dollar. A dispatch from Chicago says: "In produce it would lie impossible to calculate iu dollars the value to the conn try at large of the recent advance in ce reals. Corn has gained 5 cents equal to $10o,0or,0i on the crop; wheat has ad vanced 14 cents equal to $."iO.OiiG,100; oats gained 4 cents, equal to .aWoO. hicuxo Chronicle. The gang of professional office hunters who have essiiscd thedamuahlecau.se of repudiation in the hope of getting votes will soon learu that farmers are nut fools any more than they are scoundrels.

"What Is the true condition of tbe la Imrrr?'' the President asked In an ad drematNew Haven. "I tike it that it is the best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can. Some will get wealthy. I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from gettiDg rich ; it would do more harm than good. So while we do not propose any war upon eapittl, we do wish to allow tbe humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else. When one starts rxior, as most of us do in the race of life, free so ciety is such that he knows he cau belter his condition. He knows tluit there is no fixed condition of labor for his whole life. I am not ashamed to confess that 25 years a;jo I was a hired laliorer, mauling rails. at work ou a flat-lioat just what might happen to any poor man's son. I want every man to have the chance and I lie- lieve the black man Is entitled to it in which be cau lietter his condition when he may look forward and hope to lie a hired laliorer this year and the next, work for himself afterward and finally to hire men to work for him. This is tbe true system. 'Up bore in New England you have a soil that scarcely sprouts black-yed beans, and yet where will you find wealthy men so wealthy and poverty so rarely in extremity? There is not an other such place on earth ! I desire that if you get too thick here and find it hard to better your condition ou this soil, you may have a chance to strike and gosouie w here else, where you may not lie de graded nor have your family corrupted by forced rivalry with negro slaves. want you to have a clean tied and no snakes in it t Then you can better your condition, and so it may go on and on in one ceaseless round as long as man exists on the face of the earth.
