sILVER - POLITICS.

Silver is not in politics this year. The
facts Of the situation are thus presented
by the New York World;
The Republican Senate has passed an
out-aud-out free-coinage bill,
The Democratic House has refused TO
pass a free-coinage bill
If 10 is fair 70 hold the political majority
Of the House responsible for the action OF
that body, does not the same rule OF respon-
sibiity Justly apply 70 the Senatet
III the Republican Vice President had
been attending 70 his duty his casting vote
would have tabled the free-cOinage bill un-
I'll December
Eleven Republican Senators voted for
the bin. If only three Of the eleven had
changed their vote the bin would have
failed.
The fact that a Republican Senate,
with the votes OF eleven Republicans,
the World adds, passed a free-cOinage
bin ought 10 make the Eastern organs
Of that party chary in claiming for it
Ell the financial honesty and wisdom.

THE SAVE OLD LIE.
10 n. Etaor Of a. R.atst.r:

To ne Editor Of TIE Register:
FEBRUARY ), 1890.
Mr.. Hart, Editor of the Wheeling Intel
Igencer, addressed the Republican League
Club OF Elm Grove, June 30th, 1892.
And in one Of his statements he said that
there never was direct vote taken In the
contest between Judge Fleming and Gen
eral GOT, in the Legislature.
Mr. Matthew Simms, Of Elm Grove, con-
tradicted his statement, and said there lCdS
a direct vote taken on the issue between
Cor and Fleming, and there was a MAORI
Nv of three for Fleming-tWO Green hackers
voting for Fleming, to the best Of my recol-
lection.
Mr.. Hart said there never was a direct
vote taken but ''ihsy knew there was one OF
a Democratic majority In the legislature >.
He further stated that they merely read
a report that Judge Fleming was entitled
to the Governors seat.
It seems that Mr.. Hart wants TO mislead
the public on this subject. and we would
like to have ;he falsehoOd nailed.
DENOCRArIC VOTER OF TTIADELPHIA Dis
TRICT
Our correspondent, himself, nails
il. The issue was between FLEM-
ING and GoFF and the vote of the
Legislature on the report ofthe commit
tee of investigation was certainly direct
vote. There was a Democratic majority
Of one in the Legislature but the
majority against the false claim of
GoFF was three, on the vote on the re-
port Of the committee, which had spent
many months in going over the ground
in detail. Senator CARR, Independent,
who before had voted with the Republi-
cans, voted with the Democrats on the
final issue.
The committee was composed Of five
of the ablest and best known men in
the State-three Democrats and two
Republicans and was fair and impartial
in its every action.
The same falsehood Of which our
Triadelphia correspondent speaks was
the keynote OF the Republican cam
paign in 1890 throughout the State,
GoFF himself shouting it over hill and
dale, and the Democrats rolled up an
almost unprecedented majority.
It's a harmless lie and our Demo
cratic friend at Trladelphia need not
worry over it. Republican campaign
ers are short Of material this year.

railway did not receive instructions to
allow the delegates to the convention
the usual reduction In fares and ap-
pointing the committee OF three to COM
municate with the railroad officials to
have the mistake rectlfied. A delegate
moved that the Northern Pacific and
great Northern roads be included In
the resolution.
Instantly Marion Cannon, Of Missouri,
rose to protest. His vehement denuncl-
alton of the roads brought the audience
TO its feet several times and led to the
liveliest scene OF the day.
81 want this convention to under
stand" he said, "that it is not by acct
dent or oversight the Pacific coast dele
gates have been overlooked. Our re-
quest for customary courtesy was de-
MED deliberately and with insolence.
do not want this convention so far as
California is concerned and so far as |
am concerned to go back to that rail-
road company, cap in hand, and ask for
any privileges whatever (tumultuous
applause). The Democrats and Repuo-
licans secured half fare but We, not
connected with railroads, but producers
of the earth, have been refused equal
terms. We can stand the refusal
(cheers).
Up to this time Mr.. Cannon showed
evidence OF mis- feeling by the increasing
tremulousness of his tones. Now he
grew livid with passion as he swung HE
hat in the air and declared In tones that
rang from end TO end Of the hall that we
can tell those railway companies that
the people will operate and own those
roads yet" Here the enthusiasm and
passion Of the speaker extended to the
audience. Every member arose and
cheers rent the air, handkerchiefs were
waved and it was several moments be-
fore the speaker could conclude.
Dean of New York grasped the mat
ter to make politics out Of it. There
was an Interstate commission and he
moved that the resolution be brought
before that organization to see whether
the law permitted railroads TO discrim-
mate in favor of one National political
convention against another. Lets
use this for the purpose of a political
campaign" he said. The motion to
make complaint to the commissioners
was carried. The Committee on ReSolu-
tions was still wrestling with the plat
form and on statement that it would
be two hours before it could report a
recess until p. N. was taken.

Writing to Gen. Alger of the

e. Blaine says: @If we do not win
it is our own fault"
We should say rather that if the
Republicans do win it will be the
fault of the Democrats.
And yet it cannot be denied that
the Republican party has faults
enough-tospeak mildly to defeat it.
1t was a fault to convert a surplus
of 500. 900. .OOOO into a deficiency.
1t was fault-and one which
Mr.. Blaine never excused-to try
and pass bayonet election bill.
1t was fault to increase the war
tariff after more than a quarter Of a
century of peace.
1t was a fault to give new power
to monopolies and new protection to
trusts in return for campaign con-
tributions.
1t was fault to drag prematurely
into the Union, Republican Terri
tories only, simply to pack the Son
ate against the peoples will.
1t was fault to defy this will, as
expressed with unparalleled unan-
unity in the elections of 1890, and
to @bid the people to change their
minds"

The Colonization Scheme Won't Wor'-
Kanawha Gazette: 1t seems that
the negro colonization of voters in
augurated several years ago and
prosecuted with vigor by the Re-
publican managers, has not turned
out well. The large number of me-
groes sent to work in the coal mines
of Putnam county, and incidentally
to gain citizenship before the next
National election, are being quickly
gotten rid Of. 1t was ascertained
that their presence in Putnam was
having tendency to drive white
Republicans out of the party. The
white republicans of Putnam gave
the negro colonizers to understand
that they would not go to the polls
and vote the republican ticket with
these imported negroes who are be-
ing worked in the mines to the ex-
clusion of white men who are per-
manent citizens of the county. This
feeling of antagonism to the i'm
ported negro is felt among white
republicans at allthe mines through
out the State by those who have
suffered a reduction in their wages,
or have been thrown out of en-
ployment altogether on account of
the importation of these negroes to
vote the Republican ticket.
