WHAT is DEMOCRATIC SILVER
POLICY?

In recent interview Senator OOR-
HEES said: 'Mr. CLEVELAND ouge..
not to be nominated because he is not
in accord with the financial policy of
his party" He gave as another reason
that Mr.. CLEVELAND was silent when
the debate on the force bill was On in
the senate; but the first is the stronger
reason, not only in the opinion of the
Indiana senator, but of several other
senators and representatives who as
sumo that the famous letter of the eX-
president placed him in opposition to
his party, and so expressed themselves
on its publication. The question has
been asked them: What is the policy of
the Democratic party on the silver
question But no definite answer has
been as vet forthcoming. There is
but one source of authorized enuncia-
lion of the policy of any party; that is
the national convention of the party as
expressed in its platform. No recent
convention OF the national party has
made any departure from the traditional
coinage policy of the party, the free
minting of gold and silver bullion at
ratio which would make the coins inter
changeable in value everywhere. No
where has there been a departure from
the Democratic principle that the sole
coinage function of any government is
to ascertain from time to time, by in
spection of the actual value of the two
metals in the markets of the CONNER
cial world, their relative values, and to
establish the number of grains of the
coin unit of one metal which shall be
the equivalent in value of the coin unit
of the other-how many grains in the
silver dollar shall be the equivalent in
value of the number of grains in the
gold dollar. AS Mr.. CLEVELAND still
holds these views, and stated them
in effect in his letter, it is diff
ficult to see how he is in an
tagonism to his party. The GLOBE does
not wish to think that the senator has
inhaled for so long the atmosphere of
officialism which fills the halls of .sthe
finest gentlemen's club in the world"
that he has come to regard the views
which may be entertained by himself
and his fellows as the policy of the
party; but, aside from a tentative dec
laration by few Democratic state con-
yentions last year, there are only the
speeches of few congressman and
their votes in support of the VEST
amendment to constitute what may, by
a severe stretch of Imagination, be
called party policy. 1t is the policy
adopted in the VEST amendment of the
senate coinage bill which the senator
| means when he says that Mr.. CIEvE-
LAND has put himself in opposition to
his party on the coinage of silver.
That amendment provided that any
owner of silver bullion might have it
coined at the mints into standard dol
lars in the proportion of 81 for each
! S7l14 grains Of metal; thatis.itg gave at the
minls to the owner of silver bullion

of the secret ballot were greatly cha

ballot reform bill passed by the last

part of some one. The section that pro-
vides that no ticket peddler shall be al

election day, is missing entirely from
the bill. 1t cannot now be
told whether the fault lies with
the enrolling and engrossing clerks, or
with the clerk of the house. There is a
difference of opinion as to whether the
omission inyalidates the remainder of
