the silver issue, SO far as il relutcs to
many OF the newiy Hndgod Demo.
cratic members, WIS IL surprise and a
disastrous disappointment 10 the
people.
Aud 1t is certainly lamentablo and
amazing TO notice with what agility
these latter-dsy anti-silver monksy,
climbed the political pole OF conten
ton, notwithstanding the very trans
parent, ridiculous and indecent ex-
Posure they m6de Of themselves.
The remarkable order in which
these wolves in sh: cps clothing ca ne

tons ur read essays prepared TO hand,
alike devoid OF reason and innocent
OF logic, suggests the idea Of q collec-
ton of jumping jacks, made TO order,
and manipulated by hidden ma.
chinery. 1t is nlso noticeable that
most OF the nevly convorted gold
huge introduced their performance
with nm apology to tho party and the
people whom they had betrayed. Ii
is a we'll known fact that FREQ and un-
limited coinage Of gold and silver has
been and is a cardinal principle Of the
Democratic party hnd its .members
have been most pronounced and ag
Eressive on that quostior, since a Re-.
publican Congress, unwittinsly, as
Republican leaders cluim, deInone

Why, than, this sudden and unox-
pncted oh sngo OF froutP Argument
or comment is u~nnecessary I am
SIMPLY inclined to think that the
Democratic leaders, (if it 10 proper to
call thom suoh,l in Congress assem-.
blcd, have thrown away tho oppor.
tunity so long sought, and made u
mistake, for the lime being a. ienat,
fatal alike 10 the party. and the best
interests OF N common country.
No more %tinkarlng and %lndircction

tutes allowed; no further resolves and
resolutions that We are 10 favor Of
gold aud silver rs money; no further
pandcrinI to the blandish monts or
dictates OF the gold barons ot London
and Wall Street; but the long and
much PROMISED free coinage by the
Republican and Democratic parties
is tho uitinatnm and only logical
solutions to this too long pending aud
important question. Aud free roin-
ago the poople must and will have, il
not within the purity, then without
