STEWART ON SILVER.

washington uISpaUcn gives
Stewards views on the presen t
silver situation:
Many conflicting forces and in
terests are advancing and retard-
ing the legislation OF silver. The
Administration is alarmed fearing
the passage of the Senate bill in
the House as it would place the
President in very embarrassing
position The gold ring would de-
mand veto and threaten annihil-
alton II the President should sign
the bill The people would resent
the veto and be enraged at the
President and the Republican
party ii he should withhold his
signature. To avoid this the
gold ring and the President are
making a desperate effort. in and
out OF Congress to prevent the
passage Of the Senate bill in the
House. The Democrats are halt
ing us to the best policy they
should pursue. If the bill should
pass and the President should
sign it they would lose the effect
OF their best issue in 1892. 1t is
argued that if they would post
pone action until next session and
pass the bill by a Democratic
House then the Democrats would |
get the credit whether the Presid- /
ent signed or vetoed it. If he |
signed it it would be the Demo-
Gratis who passed it and if he |
should veto it the Democracy
would have an easy victory in
1892.
THE Republicans are bad poll
ticians because their leaders con-
suit nobody but the gold ring. 1t
is the policy of that ring to fight
silver in any form regardless of its
effect upon parties. If the lead
ers OF the Republican party were
free agents and had little COM +,
mon sense they would amend the
bill so as to have free coinage for
an American product and a mint
charge on foreign silver. Such a
measure is admitted to be safe,
and If it were passed it would
produce the same results, so far ,
as mining in the United States is
concerned. as free coinage for all
silver. This would stop agitation
and take club out of the hands !
of the Democracy with which. if I
they can hold onto it, they could
easily knock the brains out of the C
party in 1892. All
hands are consulting, caucussing
and devising plans to utilize the
silver issue. The only chance the
have seems to be such +
action on the part of the Demo-
,ratic party as will satisfy the l
country that the Democrats are
playing with the question of silver
The next ten DAYS will force both
PARTIES to show their hands,"

The APPEAL believes that there
is a general feeling throughout the
State that there should be a Con-
stitutional Convention. If the Re-
publican party fails to give the
people what they have called for
it will react on the party in the
next election.
