"A BRAINY GATHERING.

Massachusetts is not state that one
would expect TO give much countenance
to the ideas of the Peoples party. Yet
it has held a convention, and appointed
a full delegation for every district to the
Omaha convention Of July 4. Among
the delegates are some of the literary
men OF note and advanced thinkers of
the time. such as EDWARD EVERETT
HALE and EDWARD BELLAMY. There
is suggestion OF the theories Of the lat
ter in the vision of the SageS of the
movement. However fanciful some of
the notions advanced, it is probable
that the new party will have national
gathering that will not only be great in
numbers, but contain vast amount of
exceedingly active brain force. Regret
deepens that DoNNELLY did not insist
upon bringing it to this city.

A SIGNIFICANT PLATFORM.
A Vital Question Brought to the
Front.

st. Louis Republic.
After instructing their delegates to
Chicago for Mr.. Cleveland the Mime
sofa Democ rats adopted this significant
plank on coinage:
We hold in accordance with q traditional
policy OF our party, to the use of both gold
and silver, and The sole function of the gov
eminent is to examine the relative value of
the metals of coinage as established by the
commercial world aud if there has been q
sufficient fuctuation in the value of either to
make the existing ratio unequal, then to re-
adjust the ratio so that the number of grains
of either metal in the Unit of coinage the
dollar, shall be equivalent Ill value and then
TO permit the free, unrestricted coinage of
both metals.
We join the Democracy of New York in de-
manding the repeal of the Sherman silver
coinage act. We condemn that act as all at
tempt to distract the friends of honest BIZ
metallism and denounce it as calculated to
debase our currency. contract the circulating
medium ana wreck the confidence and safe
ty of the business world.
This is plain statement of the DEM
ocratic theory of free coinage, but it is
remarkable at this time because it
brings to the front the vital question of
the entire diScussion-that of the proper
coinage ratio between gold and silver.
1t is worth recalling here that express
sions almost identical with that of this
platform were attributed to Mr. Cleve-
land in newspaper interviews not long
after the publication of his coinage let
ter. His solution of the matter, it was
then asserted, was the REIMBURSEMENT of
the coinage ratio between gold and sill
yer so that they would bear to each
other the same ratio for coinage that
they bear in their average price through
period long enough TO give fair
average.
AS against the Minnesota platform
the advocates of contraction will have
to find other arguments than those they
have been advancing against free coin
age at the present mint ratio. For this
platform proposes to keep the two
metals together in circulation, not by
pulling or bearing" the silver bullion
market on gold basis as the Repub-
licans have been doing, but by coming
the two metals at their proper ratio of
exchange with each other.
The Minnesota platform means good
DEAL Ii will be heard from at Chicago.

The Silver Question and the Min
nesota Democrats.
New FORK Times.
The resolution of the Minnesota DEM
ocratic convention OH the silver cues
tion and the bill introduced in the ma
tional house of representatives yester-
day by Mr.. Lodge i'll regard 10 the estab5
liShment of an interna tienal ratio of
coinage between gold and silver may be
taken as an indication OF the direction
which the agitation for bimetalIism is
about to take. The substance of the
Minnesota resolution is that free COIN
age should be preceded by such an adj
JuStment of the ratio as would make the
dollar of gold and the dollar of silver
lntrinSically equivalent. This is in SUBJ
stantial accord with the Democratic
declaration i'll this state last year. The
Lodge bill assumes that equivalence eau
only be maintained by internations,
agreement, and provides for free coil-
age after date to be designated in sudh
agreement. and for the suspension of
the purchase OF silver bullion and the
issuing OF treasury notes under the act
of 1899. Whatever may be said OF the
merits of these propositions. they midi
cate a course of comparative safety, and
are calculated to eliminate the silver
question in its present dangerous phase
from current politics.

a NEW FEATURE.

The coming presidential election will
have one entirely new incident that
may have some bearing upon the result.
This is the introduction of ballot re-
form. In the editorial columns Of the
Century for this month are gathered
the data a. to the progress this reform
has made. Three quarters of the states
have adopted some form of the Austria
liam system since the last presidential
election. Among these are all the
Northern and Western states except
Kansas, Nevada and Idaho. unless Iowa
failed to complete the passage of the
measure at the late session. The South
ern states have been slower in making
the change, but Arkansas, Ten
nessee, Mississippi and West Vir-
ginia have it in operation, and
Texas and Kentucky have adopted con-
sIitutional provisions requiring action
by the legislatures in this direction. 1t
is presumed the others will fall into
lineslatef. The pointin this connection
upon which the magazine writer lays
special stress is that all the doubtful
states, and those where the use of
money to persuade voters has been
most notable, have now the secret bal
lot. There is hardly question that
the advantage under the old method
mas been very greatly with the Repub-
licans. 1t is not necessary to suppose
that any more active moral cousidera-
tons restrained the Democratic mana
gers. Excuse ON either side is cas-
lily found in the alleged practice
of the other party. Human nat
ure is not materially changed by
party cabals. But the Republicans
have had sources of financial supply
not open to the Democrats. The pro-
tected manufacturers have been per-
suaded that their special opportunities
depended upon the continuance of ke-
publican control, and they have, as they
could well Cfford, shared their per-
quiSites with the party. Those familiar
with the facts know that the result in
Indiana in close elections has been de-
termined by the lavish diffusion of 50
bills, and that the barter of votes for
pelf has been common thing in many
states. Under the secret ballot now to
be used. the purchaser cannot know
whether the seller keeps faith with him
or not. A man who willtake a bride for
his vote from one party will have no
scruples in taking money from both
sides. This knowledge will discourage
those who might otherwise invest. Men
of the opposite party may occasionally be
hired to stay away from the polls, but
this will net accomplish much in the
presidential year. The experience, so
far, is that under the secluded voting
arrangements few voters are bought be-
cause the delivery is so uncertain. The
candidates of the parties will then be
nearly equal. Neither will have need of
the vast sums their general committees
have been charged with using. The
change will be wholesome one. If it
were generally supplemented by an eff
fective restraint upon the use of money
by committees and candidates, the evils
of the elective system would be much
mitigated. Some attempts in this direc-
ton have been made, and it may come
in as later reform.

TIE BENCH AND THE BAR.

This morning the new Judge of this
judicial circuit will take his oath of Of

honor of Judge NELSON will follow.

apparent in thousand ways. A Demo
cratic court in Wisconsin puts its veto
on an illegal Democratic measure. Men
submit their controversies fearlessly to
the constituted tribunals, and the com
munity lives in peace and quiet because
it has confidence IN the righteousness
of law. The judges and the lawyers,
who are chiefly to be credited with the
existence OF these views, are the firm
basis OF our country's civilization.

MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS.
Analysis and Endorsement of
Their Platform.

New York Times
The Democrats of Minnesota in their
state convention have declared dis
tinctly in favor of Cleveland as the can
didate for the presidency without for
maly pledging their delegates. They
delight to renew the pledge of their
devotion to an unrivaled leader who
embodies the purest principles Of the
American Democracy. 'and they ''recog-
nize in eX-President Cleveland that rare
combination, loyal and able party
chief, an honest and StralghttorW
administrator of party affairs, Il far
seeing statesman, an unSelfish man."
The platform OF the convention
was framed with the evident
NOUS with its preference in
regard to the national candidate. 1t de-
clares strongly and unequiYocally for
tariff reform as the ''Single end" to
which ''the first and best energies" of
the party should be devoted. Its decla-
ration on the silver question is pecul-
iarly significant just now. 1t fayorS
the use of both gold and silver, but says
that the ratio of coinage between them
should be readjusted, 80 that the num-
Der Of grains of either metal in the unit
of coinage, the dollar, shall be equiva-
lent in value" before free and uure-
Strlcted coinage is permitted. The doc
trine of bimetallSm in this form may
not be altogether sound or practicable,
BUT it is very different from the perilous
policy now upheld by the government,
and wholly at war with free coinage
ON the present basis of the relative
values OF silver and gold.
