Advice to pemoeratte speakers.

In our Atlanta dispatches yesterday
Chairman Clay Of the democratic state
executive committee is quoted as follows:
"Our speakers are saying entirely too
much about national finances. 1 wish
they would devote themselves more TO
state issues" Mr.. Clay is right. A num-
Der Of times he has given similar advice
TO the democratic stump speakers. For
some reason or other his advice is not
needed. The gentlemen who are doing
the talking for the democrats are i'm
pressed with the idea apparently that it
is their duty TO devote their whole
attention to national issues. They
say so little about state issues
that they furnish ground for suspicion that
they know nothing about them.
The populists are constantly attacking
the administration of the sfairs Of the
state by the democrats, and Chairman
Clay wants il shown that these attacks
are not based on truth, and are therefore
unjust.
If the democratic speakers are not pre-
pared to meet these attacks, they ought
to prepare themselves 10 do so at once
Chairman Clay is much better qualified
than they are, at least he ought to be, to
Judge of the matters that ought to be
discussed in the present campaign, and
his advice ought to be followed.
The people understand that they are
called upon TO vote for candidates for
state Offices in October, and they would
like to know how the candidates stand
upon state matters, and what the policy
Of the Democratic party is going 10 be in
respect to such matters If the discus
sion of state issues continues to be
neglected by the democratic speakers the
impression will get abroad that the
charges the populists make against the
democrats IN respect to their manage
ment of state affairs are true Such an
impression is calculated TO do the demo-
cratic cause great deal of damage.
There is no doubt, of course, that the
democratic ticket will be elected. Some
thing more than that, however, is de-
sired. The democrats want to beat the
populists by such an immense majority
that the latter will have no inclination to
continue their organization. Chairman
Clay's advice should be needed. It is
good advice, and, if followed, the party
will be greatly benefited.

90 Populists I'd the BIaek vote.

Here and there in this state there is an
anxious democrat who is afraid that the
populists are getting control Of the
blacks, and that they will poll large
black vote for their ticket. These anxious
! democrats may rest assured that there is
/ very little ground for their fears.
It is true that the populists are making
| vigorous efforts TO induce the blacks TO
/ vote with them. According TO the re-
/ ports received they are making various
attractive promises to them. We have
not heard, however, that in any part Of
any county the blacks are focking 70 the
populist standard. On the contrary, our
advices are that the blacks receive the
advances Of the populists coIdly.
There are two reasons for this. One is
that the blacks do not understand the
popuiists' demands. Indeed, it is doubt
full if the populists themselves under
stand them. Some of them are so unrea-
sonable that it is not possible for any
body TO understand them. The blacks GER
tainly do not understand them, and,
hence, find nothing attractive in them.
The other reason is that the blacks do
not believe the populists can fulfill the
promises they make TO them, and they do
not believe they would fulfill them even
if they had the power to do so. Between
the popuists and the blacks there is no
sympathy whatever. In fact, there is a
feeling of hostility. The populists do not
command the respect of the blacks be-
cause, as q general thing, they are not
employers as the democrats are. The
blacks listen to what the populist leaders
have TO say, but they are not convinced
that it would be for their interests to as
sist the populist party.
Another reason that might be stated is
this The leaders Of the blacks still hope
that the Republican party will get
strong foothold in the south, and that
then they will become persons of import
ance in the political world. They are,
therefore, doing all they can to hold the
blacks together as republicans. 1t is
doubtful if there is a prominent colored
man in any part of the state WHO'S acting
with the populists. AS long as this is the
condition of affairs there is no danger
that the blacks will become allies of the
populists.
Asa matter Of fact, the great majority
of the blacks would rather affiliate with
the democrats than with the populists.
Their employers are democrats and there
is sympathy aud a community of interests
between them. In the August election in
Alabama, it is believed that many more
blacks voted with the democrats than
with the populists, Notwithstanding the
fact that there was a close alliance be-
tween The republican and populist leaders.
The reports of assem- blages of blacks
being addressed by populists in this or
that county should not have a disquieting
effect upon democrats. The black vote
will not aid the populists to an appre-
ciable extent.

Mr.. orisp,s Silver Views.

In the two speeches he has made in this
state since his return from Washington,
Speaker Crisp has expressed himself as
being in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. We have not seen it
stated, however, that he favors opening
the minis to the unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of l6 to l. In the extracts
from his speeches that we have published
we do not find any ratio stated.
The impression is that he favors open
ing the minis at the ratio of l6 to l. 1t
would seem, however, thatif he approved
of opening the minis at that ratio he
would say so.
A simple declaration in favor of the
free coinage of silver does not mean a
great deal 1t may mean at a ratio that
would require dollars worth of silver in
a silver dollar, or it may mean by interna-
tional agreement. If Mr. Crisp insists upon
giving his views in respect to silver he
should make them so clear that there
could be no doubt of his meaning.
Secretary Smith left no room for doubt
in his Atlanta speech as to where he
stands in res gect to silver. He has no
hostility to silver, but he does not favor
free silver coinage except upon conditions
that would make il certain that the sill
yer dollar would circulate on parity
with the gold dollar
1t may be that those who are claiming
that Speaker Crisp favors the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of l6 to l, even
though the parity of silver and gold could
not be maintained at that ratio, are mis-
taken. 1t is certainly to be hoped they
are
