WASHINGTON, Feb, 2S.-The opinion of
the wisest leaders of the Democratic party
here is that it is the best policy to go ahead
with the silver bill, pass it and therefore
show the country that the party is not
made of dodgers and trimmers who are
afraid of their own shadows, or who falter
because of the threats of Eastern mug
wumps and gold worshipers. All reports
that the friends of silver are weakening
are false. They are as determined to-day as
when congress convened and THE GAZETTE's
readers can put it down as sure thing that
the Bland bill will go through the house
whatever its fate in the other chamber.

where the directory Will take charge
