CONVENTIONS AND THE CAN nj.


It 10 now apparent that the Blaine
boom is to come to naught. II 10 per-
haps right that il should. The trouble
about it was that il was being engineered
by the enemies Of Harrison rather than
the friends Of Blaine. In short IL wal
one Of those desperate moves with m I'M
derlying principle of-anything-to-beat
Harrison. In the very nature Of things
IL could hardly succeed, and besides,
Blaine himself had refused to lend his
name to the advancement Of the scheme.
At this writing il seems to be almost 0
foregone conclusion that the President
will be renominAted. and most probably
on the first ballot, by the Minneapoli.

NOT MUCH OF A SUCCESS

The silver conference lately held at
Washington wal not a great success. 1t
broke down in the limited number Of
delegates that it brought together. We
predicted as much In these columns sew
sral months ago. Washington is too re-
mote from the people vitality interested
in the subject to insure a large and spon.
taneous meeting Of representative men.
Silver conventions should always be held
in the West. The call for the Washing
ton convention included 600 delegates.
whereas less than 100 put in an appear
snoe. The work and the speeches were
perhaps we'll enough. but the convention
lacked the moral force and effect Of mum.

PARTY ALLEGIANCE.

Says the Silver State: The my party
anyhow element in the Democratic con-
vention was In . beautiful minority. 1t
made several Intellectual attempts TO get
lie head above water but In every effort
the silver wave submerged il. The dis
patcheg from Washington indicate that
from the capital Of the nation the signs
indicate the nomination Of Harrison at
Minneapolis and Cleveland ct Chicago.
The Democratic party in this State would
have cut q pretty figure If Its convention
had nominated an electoral ticket In ad-
vance pledged to the support of the great
gold bug Giascutes Of America In the
event Of his nomination. As IL now
stands II Cleveland shall be the standard
bearer of his party he will have to come
to Nevada and carry the Democratic
Presidential Gag himself, II he wants to
see the fainest autter Of its stripes In the
pure and invigorating breezes Of the
battle born" The Republican State
Convention will be held after its national
convention. and If 1t puts an electoral
ticket in the field for Harrison or any
gold bug nominee. II will do II after the
second sober thoughts. and no argument
nc excuse and no tafy will satisfy the
rank and file that the party machine in
this State is not constructed On the gold
bug model, and we advise the party to
get its machine fully insured against the
consuming FIRE of its honest party mem
bership, and the political damnation oil
the day Of the independent expression Of
the popular will-the 9Th day Of Novem'
Der next. We have not the shadow Of 0
hope that either Of the national parties
will have the power, even If IL has the
will. to withdraw lie neck from the gold
bug halter In this campaign. And &C
long Is the people cling TO party. right
or wrong, . 20 long will the day Of our de
l~iverance be postponed. Let party limos

The Colorado State silver league took
action, at Its recent convention In Dem

KEPT FAITH.

The Democrats In their State Conven'
sion ct w:nnemucca kept faith with the
silver sentiment Of the State. In their
refusal to place Presidential electors in
the field they gave evidence Of their Elm
certify 70 stand with the silver leagues In
subordinssing party to the vital issue Of
free coinage. They gave further evidence
Of their sincerity by sbsolvine local can
didates from the support Of the national
ticket, unless both the men and the plat
form Of the Chicago Convention shall be
fully committed to the doctrine OF the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
There is no desire among Democrats to
cheat or 10 deceive anybody in this con-
hest. They are willing to join hands In
perfect good faith with all citizens oil Ne
vads who prefer the promotion OF the
leading interest and industry OF the
State to mere partisan success. A ma
jority Of Democrats as shown by the ae-
ton Of the Convention at Winnemucca
are willing for this one time to lay aside
their politics in g general effort and up
rising for silver. We do not see how
there can be two opinions on . question
Of this character among the people OF
Nevada. No great measure was aver
accomplished by inaction. When bat
ties are fought some ono must be hurt.
AZ Democrats and Republicans we have
been lighting each other too long In Ne
vsds. II 10 now time that we should
band together and train our batteries or
the common enemy, which embraces all
Of the single standard conspirators Of the
country. II were better il this united
battle Of silver men had been begun. i'm
mediately after silver had been stricken
down In 1873. In that case favorable
results might have been secured long
ago. Proceeding on strictly PARTISAN
lines, OF within strictly partisan lines,
no Roadway for silver has been made
since 1878. 1t is high time therefore to
have ecour 10 other methods. Hence
we are unquali6sdly and unalterably In
favor Of the political union Of all men
who believe that the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, at the old ratio Of l6 TO
l. should be carried 10 the front ss the
issue Of paramount Importance before the
American people. II this be treason TO
former, or present, partisan obligations
or associations, II this be construed as q
declaration In favor Of the formation Of .
third party based on the sole issue Of
free coinage, then we say to all whom 1t
may in any way concern you are at per-
feet liberty 10 make the most Of g."

AT WINHEMuCCA.

Of the Democratic State Convention held
at winnemucca Last week. Says that
Journal: There was quite an animated
discussion on the motion 10 strike out OF
the report Of the Committee on Order OF
Business the order for nominating three
Presidential electors. II. Harris, Chas.
A. LaGravs. Clayton Belknsp and Geo.
w. Cassidy fsvoring the motion; Major
John H. Dennis, General Clarke. Col.
Mill Elstner and others opposing. On .
vote the motion wal carried BY Q large
majority. The State Central COMMITTEES
was given power in their discretion to
fill the vacancy. This means that If the
national party shall fail TO adopt 3 clean
cut free coinage platform and nominate
solid free coinage candidates, the party
in this State will put no electoral ticket
in the field. Il being intimsted in the
argument that those fsvorine the motion
were ~disruptipg the party in the interest
Of the silver leagues, Mr.. Cassidy made
. telling speech; claiming that free colin
age was Of paramount interest, and the
party ought TO join any combination Of
any other respectable class Of our citizens
to secure that object. and cited the az
ample Of the great. true and tried apostle
Of Democracy. Allen G. Thurman. who.
while United States Senator, stumped
his State for . fusion ticket against the
doctrines OF both the Democratic and
Republican parties, on the great financial
question Of that day. He claimed that
is was NOT undemocratio for the oonven-
tion to refuse to support the nominees Of
the Chicago Convention, if that conven-
tion should be 80 undemocratio a. to re
fuse to indorse the full reconciliation Of
silver, and the restoration Of the silver
dollar, one Of the coins Of the constitu-
zion and of the fathers Of our republic, to
the place ID occupied with the gold dol
lar from the foundation Of this govern
ment up TO 1873. He said, "If the Dem.
ocratio party does not give us q free
coinage platform and free coinage ma
tional nominees, / declare most solemnly
that l will not support the ticket. Other,
may join. II they like, in the illogical and
time.serving policy Of ~obsouring and ig-
noring the greatest issue before the
American people, the free coiuage Of sill
yer; but / want IL plainly understood by
the people Of Nevada that / decline 10
follow them In that course" These sen
timents were cheered TO the echo.
The platform and resolutions were
ad opted. The silver sentiment therein
contained being emphasized by energetic
applause, and especially the instructions
TO the national delegates and the resolu-
tion ~absolving the nominees Of the con-
v~ention from all obligations to support
the national ticket Of the Democratic
party in the contingency named.
Hon. Geo. w. Cassidy Of Eureka was
nominated for Congressman by acclsma-
tion. He accepted the nomination in
another happy and eloquent speech for
free coinage.
Hon. c. II. Belknap was nominated
