SHOULD GET TOGETHER.

Gold Bugs Should Compare Notes Before
Committing Themselves.
The goldolatrous plutocrats of En-
gland, Europe and America should put
their heads together and arrange to
suppress embarrassing items of news.
President Harrison, voicing the hypo-
critical pretense of the gold bugs in the
UNITED States, says;
1.-THE resolution of the convention in
favor of bimetallism declares, 1 think,
the true and necessary conditions of
movement that has upon these lines my
cordial adherence and support. / am
thoroughly convinced that the free coin
age of silver at such a ratio of gold as
will maintain the equality in their COM
mercial uses of the two coined dollars
would conduce TO the prosperity of all
the great commercial nations of the
world. The one essential condition is
that these dollars shall have and retain
an equal acceptability and value in all
commercial transactions. They are not
only a medium of exchange, but a meas
ures Of value, and when unequal meas
ure are called in law by the same name,
commerce is unsettled and confused and
the unwary and ignorant are cheated.
Dollars of unequal value will not circu-
late together The better dollar is
withdrawn and becomes merchandise"
We do not admit for one moment,
that if the two metals were accorded
exact equality Of privileges before the
law and an equal right to unlimited
coinage, there could be any ''better dol
La" IN the sense Mr. Harrison uses the
term. But we may at least be sure of
one thing, to-wit: A gold dollar at
premium, is the kind of ''better dol
lar' Mr. Harrison had in view when he
used the term. But here is a cable
gram from Rome that completely upsets
his whole theory:
'Tnconveniences resulting from the
disappearance from circulation of frac-
tional silver continues to be increas-
ingly felt in parts of Italy. The law
which practically forbids its transport
tation out of the country has not been
able to prevent its expectation. The
premium on gold drives fractional sill
yer to France and Switzerland, where
it is readily circU4ted in all small
transactions at par With gold"
From this it appears that, so far is
the gold bug contention from being
true, the very reverse opposition is
proven by the stern logic OF facts to be
the true position.

The attempt to make capital for the
old party in Kansas by arresting Chair
man Breidenthal, of the peoples party
committee, on the charge OF illegal
banking, has proved a miserable fail
ure. When the case was called for trial
after hearing Mr.. Breijentba's state
ment, Judge Humphrey ruled that in
order to bring a firm within the provis-
ions of the banking law the money re-
ceived must be received as in a bank,
and after receipt mast be used by the
firm as are bank deposits, 60 loan and
make profit for the continuance of
the business Otherwise firm may re-
ceive deposits as matter OF coaven-
fence to customers or friends. The case
was then dismissed.

said to a reporter: "The disgraceful

Georgia, and few other localities, are
not attributed to either the farmers or

committed by organized rowdies and
hoodlums in the towns and cities,

carefully in the dark. notice that

should bottle up his sympathy, as it is
not needed either by myself or the

The Georgia Election.
Chairman Irwin, of the peoples party
of Georgia, declares that there was
fraud at the late election He saws:
There was a great deal of ballot box
stuffing. Down in Dougherty county
it was shameful Out in Rockdale
county they offered $40 for negro votes;
they were bought straight out. You
see when Howell and Livingston went
to New York they brought back load
of money and it was spent freely; that's
the reason that we got no help from
the republicans, who would naturally
have voted against the democrats.
Many of the laboring men were told
that they would be discharged il they
voted for the peoples party. and the
railroads gave the same notice to their
employees. For that reason we did not
get our full strength. We are going
right ahead. We shall fight right on
through the presidential and congress
sional elections in November, and then
we expect to make far better show
ing. After that we viii go ahead and
carry on the fight for the next two
years"

A Permanent Organization Perfected to Fur
Their Their Interests.
CHICAGO, June 21.-A meeting was held
at Democratic headquarters today by the
colored Democrats Of all parts of the coun-
try under the auspices Of Munroe national
Democratic committee. Many of them
present claimed to be Republicans, but
they said the treatment of the colored race
by President Harrison did not meet their
views of justice and desired henceforth
TO ENTER THE DEMOCRATIC FIELD.
Among the prominent colored men present
were DR.. Thompson, minister to Haytl
under Cleveland; G. H. Taylor, ex-min-
lister to Siberia H. F. Downing, Prof.
Alexander, j. Milton Turner of Missouri
and f. Q. Lawson, a colored representative
of Tammauy hall.
Dr. Johnson and others made speeches
on the tariff and President Harrison's al
legged i'll treatment of the colored race
Johnson said, in part: 1--WE believe the
Republican party has outlived its useful
ness SO far as relates to the negro, and it
is our duty to
LOOK FOR A SAFER ANCHORAGE.
We believe Grover Cleveland. gave the
best assurance posaible that under Demo
cratic rule free Americans best interests
were fully conserved. The civil and politi-
cal rights OF my race were never conserved
better than under Senator Hill when gov
ernor of New York. The great Democratic
party has gained wisdom by experience. Ii
deals with national questions on funda-
mental principles; it's policy Is good gov
eminent TO all people, white and black,
north and south The Republican party of
today, which we turn away from in sor-
row, stands as the sectional party as u po-
litical necessity"
The roll Of delegates shows seventeen
states were represented. A permanent
organization was formed as follows: Presi-
dent s. L. Maron of Iowa; S. L. Marsh,
first vice-president: NJ. l.. MiRning, second
vice-president; A. Easton, secretary. The
platform adopted expresses the belief that
the best interests of all would be sub
served by the ascendancy Of the Demo-
cratic party and concludes as follows:
Resolved, That the national free Amer
ican Democratic committeeis heraby Gre
ated, to consist Of i've members, from
each state, to serve until the next Dem
ocratic convention, whose duty 1t will be.
to disseminate Democratic principles and
prosecute vigorous campaign for the sue
cess OF the Democratic nominee for presi-
dent keeping in mind the best interest OF
free American citizens and the prosperity
of the country at large.

Senator Hill Being Urged to Harmonic New
York Differences.
CHICAGO, June 21.-An interesting situa-
ton is developing in the Tammany dslega-
ton tonight. A difference of opinion hav-
ing arisen among the leaders as to the
proper policy to pursue in view of the
overwhelming Cleveland sentiment.
Croker is reporter to be in favor of an
n derstandiug with the Cleveland leaders,
and is endeavoring to persuade Murphy
and Shehan to prevail on Hill to harmonic
the differences. Many leading Hill men
outside of New York are wiring Senator
Hill to the same effect tonight.
The indication is tonight that Cleveland
leaders will endeavor to have Harrity of
Pennsylvania selected as chairman of the
national committee during the approaching
campaign.
Committee on rules formulated set in
which there is no radical changes from the
previous convention methods.
The Iowa people here are confident to-
night. They have assurances Of hne sup
port from many quarters, and in their con-
ference they have agreed with Tammany
that there will probably be no choice on
the first ballot. elegate-at-large Martin
says the indications tonight are much
brighter, but denied that any conference
had been held with Tammany leaders.
New York's first ballot will go for Hill and
Boies, will be given their support later,

KNOWS IT NOW.
Whitelaw Reid Officially Notified
of His Nomination.
The Address of Notification Delivered by Sem
ator Dubois-Reid, in Replying, Pays
Tribute TO Blaine.

NEW YORK, June 21.-The committee to
notify Whitelaw Reid of his nomination
for .vice-president went to Ophir Farm,
Reid's country residence near White
Plains, where they proceeded to carry out
their instructions.
THE ADDRESS OF NOTIFICATION
was delivered by Senator Dubois. The
speech was very brief. 1t referred in well
chosen terms to the nomination by the
Minneapolis convention, and adverted to
the fact that it came unsought and with
rare unanimity and then continued: ''Your
constant, consistent and effective advocacy
of Republican measures for many years,
and the honor and dignity with which you
represented our country abroad, have mer-
tied for you this distinction. The Ameri-
can people appreciate the patient, skillful
diplomacy by which you opened the mar
ket of France to the products of the Amer
lean farmer. We believe the people will
sustain the Republican principles and en-
dorse the personalities of our standard
bearers, and that the wisdom of our selec-
ton at Minneapolis will be fully demon
strated by your triumphant election at the
polls in November
Mr. REID, REPLYING TO THE SPEECH,
expressed sincere gratitude for the con-
tidence shown and the high trust devolved
by the nomination. He spoke Of the Re-
publican party as having guided the coun-
try on the path of unparalleled prosperity,
with but four years. interval since 1850.
He said, 1.-THE profound sense Of RESPONSE
bility and most earnest desire to dis
charge the trust reposed to the satisfaction
OF sixty-hve millions of freenen and for
the best interests of the country are the
overmastering emotions Of the hourn He
continued: 'sNot having sought the grees
honor you confer, as you have justly stated,
/ am the more prompt In saying that as a
citizen and Republican | shall not shrink
from the duty you have imposed The
speaker said he accepted and adopted in
full the issues laid down by the Mime
apolis platform. They were the prin-
ciples under which the country had
attained phenomenal prosperity and
growth. Under them labor had been
freed, honored and better rewarded than
elsewhere and the largest example given
of equality before the law than the world
had yet seen promoted. To reject these
principles would be TO indict the glorious
history of the nation for almost past
third of q century"
Referring to Blaine, he said al cannot
euppress on this occasion one word Of az
fectionate recollection for my friend in so
many presidential campaigns, the great
statesman whose present cruel bereave-
