NOncOnfOrmist: The spectacle of a
president-elect debating to congress
how it shall vote on pending legisla-
tiOn is the sample of "JeffersOnian
democracy" that is waited to us from
Lakewood and Washington. Not
only pleadings, but threats and prom
ises of patronage are used by Cleve-
land and his henchmen to force con-
gress to repeal the Sherman silver
purchase law. This is one Of the
most outrageous occurrences that has
ever been seen in American politics.
1t is startling innovation upon our
customs as we'll as an insidiOus attack
upon the spirit of our institutions.

be committed against the public lib

THEY MUST RELATE THEMSELVES

Almost as much damage is being done to the
cause of silver repeal by those Democrats who
claim to be in favor of it as by those opposed
10 it, Both factions, turning from the squabble
among themselves, are vying with one an
other in ugliness toward the Republican minor
ty. They cannot be pulled or driven shamed
or forced into the united support of the meas
IRE which was the first pledge OF their last
National platform and is the first demand OF
public sentiment now. But they can stop dis
putting over that among themselves to prccpi-
tate a great partisan controversy and asSail
the Republican minority, which has thus Tar
saved their Administration from the rocks they
placed in its way. Twelve months ago before
election, the Democrats were violent with de-
nunciation of the Sherman act and bountiful
with promises of its repeal. The people took
them at their word and sent them to Washing
ton, with full power in every branch of the
Government to enact as they had advocated.
But at once it appeared that full majority
of their legislators in both houses of Congress
was relent!essly opposed to the action the party
was pledged 10 take. IT had gone before the
people on false pretences, and the first public
exhibition it made Ct itself was an exhibition
of It's cha. acterstic dishonesty The minority
faction which favored the redemption of the
party's pledge to repeal the Silver law, sought
the assistance OF the Republican opposition,
representing that the country was in peril of
great disaster from the continued purchase of
silver, and that the Republicans ought to di-
vest themselves of partisanship and come saift-
~ to the rescue Of the peoples broken and dis
tressed industries. The party that had been
turned out Of power was implcred to save the
country from the party to whom power had
been given.
As the responsible party in power had re-
sponded to its first summons to duty with a
characteristic exhibition of dishonesty. so with
characteristic exhibition of patriotism the
| Republican minority, divesting itself of the
| function of an opposition. responded to the
/ Presidents appeal for patriots and men of
! their word, with the assurance Of their full
support. Thcreupon the defeated Democratic
majority fell savagely upon the minority for
calling in the aid of the party TO which Nley
were both prcfessedly opposed, and the minor
ity, ashamed of having been for once honest
and manly, joined hands with the majority in
an attack on the motives of its Republican
