HOPE OF THE PARTY.

The only regrettable feature of the
late Democratic convention in this city
was that il brought so few new young
men into notice. There were a good
many of them present, but the voices
which were heard were, with but few
exceptions, the same voices which have
spoken in similar gatherings for years.
They are just as sllVery and inspiring
as ever, but to carry the party to the
front they must be supplemented and
reinforced by ambitious, bright and
earnest fighters of another generation.
1t is our leaders duty toencourage such
to take position OF prominence IN the
party'S councils, and it is their own duty,
as they are good Democrats, to show
their caliber when opportunity offers.
The feeling sometimes prevails that
debate and speechmakIng at state and
city conventions are time wasted. Peo-
pie talk as though it would be best were
the ticket named, the platform adopted,
and an adjournment made with all con-
venient speed. But this is great mis-
take. For one thing, silence on such
occasions is the fruitful parent of blum
ders. The candidate whose record can
not be discussed is not fit to receive a
nomination. The platform which can
not be criticised and analysed will not
be an honest expression of the par
ty's views. For another thing, the
frank interchange of opinion will
disclose the personal qualities and char
acteristics of delegates as will no other
programme. The danger of politics is
that their management and direction
Will fall to a few and remain there. If
conventions are used to their best adj
vantage. this will be avoided. Measures
will be decided, not according to the
will Of All olgarchy. however wise it
may be, but by the consensus of all the
people.
The GLOBE hopes that many young
men will attend the coming state con-
yention as delegates, that they will
speak out, that they will be listened to
patiently, that they will be applauded if
they do we'll, and that they will be par
doned if they do i'll. The hope OF the
party is in its young men.

There will be poor market for unin-
structed delegates at Minneapolis, and

Mr.. ingalls, is mistaken in saying that
the Republican party is divided on the
silver question. 1t is practically solid
in favor of the honest dollar, and the
Minneapolis platform will so declare
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
If Mr.. Quay remains implicated until
he gets to Minneapolis he may be able
to form pool with the rest of the I'M

of Mr. Harrison's digestion for humble

Gen. Lew Wallace, contrary to earlier
adviceS, consents to 90 TO Minneapolis
as delegate. He will be one of the
two representatives Of the Terre Haute
district. There was talk at one time of
making him delegate at-large. Chicago
News.
And now we are informed that eX-
Speaker Reed is to go to Minneapolis as
the guest of the Maine delegation. AT
this rate the guests bid fair to be a very
important element III the Republican
convention. They can't vote, but they
make beautiful dark horSes.-New York

The Southern delegates to the Mime
apolis convention will be for Harrison :;
and SO will all those from the North,

ton for president is to be only formal
ratification of the we'll known choice of
the people.-St. Louis Globe-Democfat.

A WISCONSIN, CHANGE.

The discussion is becoming animated
in Wisconsin over the question whether
the legislature when convened to make
the reapportionment should not provide
for the choice of presidential electors
by districts. In the light of the recent
municipal voting, the state is fairly
placed as doubtful in the presidential
contest, with the chances inelining to
the Democrats. They still hold, as
shown in Milwaukee, the larger part of
the vote that came to them two years
ago on the school and tariff questions.
They then elected the governor by $4,000,
and carried eight out of nine congress
sional districts. There is good
deal of confidence among Democrats
that they can do the most vot-
ing in November. The state is, at
all events, so doubtful that undue par
tisanship cannot be attributed to the
Democrats, if they do conclude to try
the district system. 1t is conceded to be
an ilnprovemeuton the common method,
and sanctioned by presidents and the
constitution. Some states must take
the lead, if it is desired to break
away from the practice that works so
unjUstly. Wisconsin is favorably con-
dltioned for the change, as no great
amount of partisanship can be imputed
to it. If the Republicans carry the
state, they will have five or six Of the
districts, and a full share i'll any event.

WATCH G. x. DAVIS.

When Mr.. WILSON, of West Virginia,
was closing the debate on the free wool
bill, a Republican member asked him
whether the measure was satisfactory
to the WOODEN manufacturers. lie an
swered that it had been framed III the
interest of the consumers of wooden
goods. Every man. woman and child in
the Union is a consumer OF WOODEN
goods, and will be enriched as clothing
is cheapened. Because the bill had
been framed in their interest the Demo-
Gratis voted for it. Because it did not
appear that it was satisfactory to the
WOODEN manufacturers the Republicans
voted against it. This is all accurate
index of the comparative attitude of the
two parties OH the tariff question.
The bill went to the senate Thursday,
where it has been referred to the finance
committee. After awhile il will be re-
ported back for consideration. The
GLOBE advises the people OF Minnesota
to keep their eyes on CUsHMAN K.
DAVIS and mark how he stands on this
measure. Mr.. MERRIAM says that Ire
is not candidate for the United States
senate, and that Mr.. DAVIS will be
named again for the place by the
Republicans. Will he vote for free
wool because it is in the interest
of the consumers of WOODEN goods. or
against free wool because this will be
satisfactory to the WOODEN manufact-
urers? Is he for the people or against
them? No friend of monopolists is tit

New York Factions.

The Republican victory in Rhode ISL
nd teaches an important lesson, which
the practical politicians in the Demo
cratic organization will be quick to
learn and no less prompt to apply in the
party councils. 1t will, also, dampen
the ardor of the Cleveland enthusiasts,
and it effectually disposeS Oh Gov. Rus
sell, of Massachusetts, as presidential
possibility.
The mugwumps of New England are
courageous and valuable allies of the
Democratic party. They make good
soldiers because they are intelligent and
earnest and are trained III argument.
But in spite of their presence and their
aid New England is hopelessy Repub-
liean. The defeat of the Democrats in
Rhode Island, where the campaign was
fought almost exclusively on national
issues, destroys the hope of securing
single electoral vote in all New England,
outside of Connecticut, for the national
Democratic ticket.
The battle ground in 1892 will be the
same that it was in 1888, and the sooner
the Democratic masses appreciate this
important fact the better it will be
for their hopes of party suc-5
cess. The states of New York.,
New Jersey, Connecticut and In
diana must tie carried Tor the Demo
cratic ticket if that ticket is to be
elected. Missionary work should not be-
discouraged, but it will find more in
viting field in the Northwest than in.
New England. Illinois. Indiana and
Wisconsin are far more likely to respond
favorably to the appeals. OF tariff re-
forms than are the .mill-boSSed states OF
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New
Hampshire.
But the national Democratic ticket
must be selected with view to its
strength in the states Of New York,
New jersey, Connecticut and Indiana.
The most important OF these is New
York, and it must be first considered.
Conditions there are not promising ii
either Cleveland or Hill is nominated.
The suggestion of a ticket to be COM
posed of Palmer and Flower is entirely
in line of practical politics. Senator
Palmer is undoubtedly as strong in New
York as any other man that might be
named, and he is certainly stronger
than many who have been mentioned.
So far as Flowers great strength IN
New York is concerned that has been
demonstrated and is beyond question.
Nor can there be doubt OF Senator
Palmer'S ability to carry Indiana.
The Democratic organization in Indi-
ana is so perfect and 50 confident that
its members do not hesitate to say that
any respectable Democrat can defeat
Harrison in that state. Senator Palmer

tire West. His popularity Is such that

A SILVER STATE ANrI.

Colorado IS understood to be the storm
center of the free coinage craze among
the mining states. 1t has been supposed
that every one there, regardless of
party, sex or condition, is frantic for the
unrestrained production OF silver coins.
The senators from that state threaten
even their own party for the attitude of
its opponents. Yet there comes from
Colorado just now little volume con-
tanning an exceedingly clear and ex-
haustive exposition OF the silver Situa-
ton, radically opposed to that prevalent
in the silver states. The book CON-
prises series of ESSAYS read by the
author, LOUIS r. ERICH, before
club of thirty-tive gentlemen at
Colorado Springs. The views adj
vallced were unanimously Endorsed
and their publication solicited. The
writer states one of his points
i'll this way: You melt gold dollar liz
the fire and the metal has value of 81.
Ii the signature is burned off of check
it has no value. Ii silver dollar drops
into the fire and is melted, the metal
is worth but Seventy-three cents,
because the United States signature is
burned off. 1t circulates the same as
gold: dollar simply because it is made
exchangeable by the government for
gold. If there are too many silver dol
lars for the gold to redeem, then the
gap between the metals is seen. He
admits that it will be for time good
thing for CoI0rado'S silver producers to
sell seventy-three cents worth of silver
for a dollar, but it will be rough on the
country at large. The fear of silver
fluctuations he regards as depressing
to the business interests, and says even
Colorado shares that depression. The
bank exchanges of Denver have de-
creased the past year 1928, 100000. He
warns the advocates of free silver in his
state tnat they are retarding its pros
perity and development, and that the
time has come for those who realize the
facts to speak out boldly and distinctly
Oh this subject" Their interests are
being sacrificed to afford an Legitimate
profit to the few owners of silver mines.
1t is not probable, however. that the
gentleman expects to be candidate for

FuNsToN,s .VINDICATIoN.

Que FUNSTON represents a Kansas
district in the lower house OF congress.
The Voice, New York temperance
paper. said that he mad been seen drink
ing liquor i'll a capitol restaurant.
FUNSTON thought that this report would
hurt him with his constituents. They
are very moral in Kansas. So ne rose
to question of privilege, and calmly
remarked that the Writer of the article
was q "low-down. dirty skunk" He
went further, but the GLOBE. out Of re-
spect for decency, cannot follow him be-
You'd this point. Then he sat down, in
response to the prayers of his col
leagues. Such is FUNsToN'S yindica-
ton. A blackguard called him an ap-
probrious name, and he retaliated by
calling the blaekguard several others.
1t is to be hoped that this will be salts

man he attacks. The only harm he
does is to himself and the craft ia
which he is employed. 1t brings re-
specialize newspapers into discredit
when the columns OF even disrep-

filth or malicious defamation. But.
apart from this, an exhibition of human

SOUND ON SILVER.

The Minnesota Democratic Plat
form Endorsed by Leading Re
a publican Paper.
Pittspurg Dispatch.
The Democrats of Mi nneSota had the
good sense to put themselves on solid
ground with regard to silver coinage.
They reject alike the reduction i'll the
standard of valuations proposed by the
Bland bill and the government ware
house policy of buying UP silver and
storing it away established by the pres
ent law. They believe in the free coin
age OF silver dollars that will be equiva-
lent to gold dollars. and vice versa, and
assert the duty of goyernm ent Ito eX-
anime the relative values of the metals
of coinage as established by the COM
mel cial world, and il there has been
sufficient huctuation in the value of
either TO make the existing ratios I'M
equal, then TO readiuSt the ratios SO that
the number of grains of either metal in
the unit of coinage, the doII0r, shall be
equivalent in value, and then to permit
the free, unrestricted coinage OF botn
metals"
This is practically the silver policy
outlined by tile Dispatch as the correct
one. 1t is encouraging 10 find that the
Democracy of the Northwest are so lit
tie affected by the cheap money heresies
that they keep themselves clear of the
Bland policy of reducing the dollar to
70 per cent of It's present value. and
substitute in its stead the sound method
of rehabilitating silver as Il money
metal. With that indication of sound
opinion among the Minnesota Demo
Gratis we have ground for hope that the
sections where the Bland bill was sup
posed to have the greatest strength will
take the ground on the use of silver
without Involving an Initiation of values
or scaling of debts. Ii the Democracy
of the nation have the good sense to
take the position of the Minnesota plat
form, they will be unassaiIaDle so far as
silver is concerned. however they may
be miSied as to the tariff.
