Silver TO Be the Issue.

The Baltimore Herald says the fact IL
quite apparent to general observers as
we'll as 10 practical politicians. that the
silver men hold the balance of power
between the two parties. We quote:
Tariff reform is by no means a dead
issue. but IL IL. In a measure, subordinate
20 the silver question, when its advocates
see III 10 bring II 10 the front. There
~ a strong likelihood. therefore. that BIZ
metallism will take an important place in
the political discussion OF the coming con-
gressional campaign. II II does not crys-
tallize into a ciean-cut issue, and fill the
Held OF vision on the assembling OF the
ftfty-fourth Congress"
What with the declarations which have
recently been made by the Republican
leaders and Republican papers and Re-
publican State and congressional district
conventions. II would seem that instead OF
merely holding the balance OF power, the
silveiites win be reinforced by Republi-
cans as well as Democrats. However.
all parties In this country ought TO make
haste 10 secure the assembling Of a new
international bimetallic conference. This is
what Republicans. Democrats. silverites.
soid-buss. monometallis,s. and blmetal-
lists ought 10 work for.

Moro Republican Silverites.

The Republican State Convention OF
Delaware met In Dover day before yester-
day. The platform adopted favors bi-
metallism with gold and silver cur
rency equalized by conditions fixed by
national agreement. and declares that fun
national prosperity will not be restored
until silver is restored TO its full debt
paying basis. 1t denounces the bill to
authorize the state taxation Of national
currency: donorrces the national Demo-
cratic administration as incompetent to
conduct the affairs of the nation at
home and abroad. &C. &c, &C"
Delaware is one OF tn last states
which we would have looked TO In order
to find any faint Of bimetallism in them.
We like it's declaration in favor Of a new
international bimetallic conference. This
declaration we understand TO be made
in the platform when it calls for a gold
and silver currency fixed by national
agreement"

D"koo
LEXINGTON, KY, August 22.-As early
as o'clock this morning people com
menced swarming the streets here, pre-
paratory TO attending the big owens bar
becue at Woodland Park. Country peo-
pie are here by the score, all wearing
either a badge or a button. showing their
choice in the now highly-sensational con-
gressional race. Scarcely a Settle or a
Breckenridge badge could be seen. and il
seems as If everybody favoring the cleo
tion of either of these candidates had
left town or were keeping indoors. The
day is beautiful and the bright sun. cast
ing its rays through the beautiful oak
trees in Woodland Park, adds TO the
chcerfulness OF the scene. There every
thing tx in perfect readiness. Scores OF
beeves and sheep have been cooked, and
burgOo is ready to be dished out by the
gallon. The street in front of the F'lorcn-
tine Hotel building has been so full Of
people that ii Is almost impossible 10 pass
on Main street.
Those who Will participate In the oratory
were also on the streets early. Mr.
Owens was up and ready for the greatest
day In the history of congressional poll
ties In Kentucky. by the time the trains
from different points began TO arrive the
streets were alive with a surging mass
of humanity. The Breckenridge forces
were distributing little slips of paper, on
which was printed "Breckinridge and
Brains" There were thousands of wO-
men on the streets. and the cars could
not carry the people to Woodland Park
fast enough. The Fayette-Owens Club.
900 strong, formed on Main street TO
Join in behind the Woodford, Scott, and
other delegations which came In on the
Southern road. The street-cars brought
the bulk Of the ladies who came with the
George town delegation, but great many
OF them had 10 walk.
Mr.. Owens, accompanied by President
Barney Tracy, Judge @. w. kinkhead.
and ID. +. Frazee, headed the procession,
and when passing under 4. .ge Breck-
inridge banner on Main ste. Mr.. owens
raised his hat The carriage was fol-

strong. The Scott county delegation fol-
