Unnecessary Concern on the Part Of Mug
wump MIshpuddlers.
Some of the mugwump papers seem
to be alarmed lest the republicans may
be tempted to defer to some of the no
tons OF the peoples party in order to
weaken the opposition of the latter in
the presidential election. There is not
much cause, however, for any such
dread While it is true that the repub-
licans will be hurt far more than the
democrats if the new party should de-
velop any strength, the record of the
republicans ought to convince any per-
son familiar with it that they are not
likely to be either coaxed or bulldozed
into accepting any of the ideas enun-
ciated by the organization which has
just. been started in Cincinnati. Parties
having more potency than any which
this one is ever likely to attain, and
which, like this one, aimed to destroy
republican supremacy, have sprung
into existence within the past twenty
years witout compelling any important
alteration in the republican creed. Re-
publican doctrine. except, perhaps, To-
,
by the greenbackers or grangers, and
there is no reason to believe that it can
be modified in any particular by the
threats or Establishments of the peoples
party.
The truth is, of course, the republican
is the only party which for the past
quarter of century has stood for
financial honesty and financial commo
sense. 1t preserved the public credit
when it was attacked by the democrats
and the greenbackers few years aftey
the war, saved the country from the
eternal disgrace and dishonor of forcing
a deprecated currency on its creditors
when gold or its equivalent was under
stood to be promised, and then brought
that currency up to par with gold. The
same party which established the ma
tional banking system during the war
has defended and maintained it ever
Gratis and the minor organizations
which have come into being. 1t has,
time after time, protected the country
against the wild and vicious monetary
legislation which has been attempted
by the democracy and its allies. And
in the present crisis it is the republic
an party which is the financial 4 and
economic bulwark of the country.
Nearly every one of the financial no
tions of the peoples party has been and
still is advocated by the democracy.
