THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Democrats of this county who
meet in convention today have an inn
portant work TO perform, and the peo-
pie EXPECT them to perform it well.
They are to select candidates who, if
elected, will control the affairs of a
county that has nearly one-half of
the wealth Of the territory and one
fourth Of its population in it. And the
men so selected should be the very
best to be found. No man has any
claims to preferment If, in the judy
ment of the party, he is not in all
respects the best man for the place to
which he is to be named.
The fight will be hard and close, and
such a ticket must be named as will
command the respect and confid ence
of the people. Personal interests must
be subordinated to party interests No
candidate should be selected because he
may chance to belong to some particu-
lar nationality or because he may
chance not to belong to it. The party is
a whole and all its parts should be in
perfect harmony. If the delegates keep
these things in view there will be nc
mistakes made.
The Democrats of this county should

for silver in the Republican party.
Now let us see what the leading Re-
publican financier says on silver. Sem
ator Sherman, speaking at Akron. O..
last Friday, devoted considerable at
tention to the Ohio Democrats declara-
tion regarding free coinage. We give
a few extracts from his speech on this
subject:
The workman whose daily wages are
now payable in gold or its equivalent
will have to receive silver dollars
whose purchasing power is but one
half of the money he receives now.
If the farmer gets higher prices for
his crops it will be in money OF less
purchasing power. But two classes of
men will be benefited, the debtor who
can pay his debts in cheaper money,
and the owners of silver mines. The
debtor gains by cheaper money, but is
it honest to borrow gold and pay in
silver worth half what is received? The
owners of silver mines generally or
ganized into great corporations, will
get nominally more dollars for their
product, but if they are just to their
Worknen the cost of mining will be
increased. / do not see how in the end
the silver miner will be. benefited.
LII rs sometimes said that the demone-
tization of silver caused the decline of
silver bullion. This is not true.
If this does not prove conclusively
the hostility of the Republican party
to silver, then there is no proof in pol
itics. 1t seems almost needless to tell
the miners of the West who are the
friends and who the enemies of silver.
EVERY hn
ment of the silver cause, the cause of
the miner and the farmer, should vote
the Democratic ticket thi2 fall.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-10-18
REPUBLICAN HOSTILITY TO SILVER

The great enemy to silver in the
limited States is the Republican party.
The whole history of its silver legisla-
ton proves this from the time 1T de-
monetized silver in 1873 until the very
moment that Senator John P. Jones
left the party in 1894 on account of
his conviction that there was no nope
for it in that party.
In the East the idea is growing that
the Democratic party is the friend of
silver and that the Republican party
is hostile to it. The Philadelphia
Ledger. which is always a safe expo
nent of the policy of the Republican
party, on this question of silver as an
issue two years hence, says:
If the Democrats really intend to
make free and unlimited silver coinage
the issue of coming political contests,
including that of 1896, it is we'll that
the country should know it in time.
The Republican party should, in re-
spect to its unvarying record of hon
est, safe money, welcome the issue
which the Democrats of Ohio have pre-
scented.
1t is we'll that the country should
know the position of the two great par
ties on this issue of free and unlimited
coinage of silver. In the West the
Democrats are for it without
waiting for any international agree
ment The Democrats of Ohio take the
same stand And it will certainly be
the endeavor of the western Demo
Gratis to have this position on silver in
corporated in the national platform in
1896.
That the Republican party will OPP
pose the advocacy of free silver in its
platform in 1896 there is no doubt. The
Ledger in the same article from which
we have already quoted, says:
They should be consistent with that
record, and be willing to meet their
adversaries at the polls in continued,
determined support of it. If the De
mocracy have decided or shall decide
in favor of a debased, dishonest cur
rency--of a currency based upon moth
ing but the governments stamp" and
the great law of legal tender'-it
would seem as if the Republicans are
to have the greatest opportunity which
they have enjoyed since 1861 to demon
strate their fidelity and usefulness to
the most vital interests of the country.
The integrity of the credit and the
money of the people will be intrusted
to Republican keeping for protection
and the party should ask no greater
privilege than that of defending the
national credit against its enemies
| whether they call themselves Populists
or Democrats.
This proves that Senator Jones was
right when he said there was no hope
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-10-18

win the election. Look at the condition
of the county finances. The condition of
the county finances is told when it is
said that. there is debt of some three
hundred thousand dollars and it is
growing larger daily. And by whom
has this Indebtedness been created? By
La Republican county court. There has
been a recklessness in the expenditure
of the county funds that may almost
be characterized as criminal. The pres
ent county court has lost the conf
dence of the people, and lost it de-
servedly. The people demand that this
letting of contracts to- particular
cliques, friends and families must
cease. Let the Democrats nominate
such men that their name and charac-
ter will be a guarantee that it will
cease, if the people shall put the con-
troll of these matters in their hands.
Let the candidates for all the offices
be men of the best capacity and char
acter. The Republicans have put up a
partly fair ticket: the Democrats must
put up a much better one.
