straiRhtout Democrats.

The democrats Of Ware and Clinch
counties, who at mass meetings adopted
resolutions recently indorsing the ad-
ministration, are straightout democrats.
] They are well acquainted with the ma
tional democratic platform, and know
I that the administration has not departed
in the least from the principles laid down
/ therein. Their action may not give salts
/ faction TO those democrats who appear TO
find the populist platform more 10 their
liking than the platform of the
democracy.
All the differences there are among
democrats arise from two things namely,
silver and the income tax. There are
democrats who are clamoring for the free
coinage of silver and the income tax. The
democratic platform calls for neither Of
these things. The platform of the popu-
lists calls for both.
Democrats may favor one or both
of these things, If they so desire,
without losing their standing as demo-
Gratis, but they cannot claim that these
things are party measures, because they
are not. The democratic platform makes
commit the party to the free coinage of
silver. 1t does favor the free coinage of
silver provided silver currency is kept on
a parity with gold currency. In other
words, the democratic platform is
squarely and unequivocally in favor of
sound money. The platform of the popu-
lists is not, because it does not require
that the silver dollar shall be so sus-
tanned that it will have the same pur-
chasing power as the gold dollar.
The administration course in respect
TO silver is in entire harmony with dem
ocratic doctrines. The President would
approve financial legislation making the
coinage of silver free if such legislation
were of a character to make it reason
ably certain that silver and gold would
not part company
The silverites, however, do not want
legislation that would keep silver at par
with gold. The BLAND committed has re-
fused to report the bill of Representative
Meyer, of Louisiana, which authorizes the
sale of bonds for gold if it should become
apparent that the treasury needed gold
to keep silver from becoming a debased
currency and yet the Meyer bill is in
strict accordance with the national dem
ocratic platform.
The democrats of Ware and Clinch
counties have shown that they under
stand the financial question and the
utterance of the democratic platform on
that question. Their action is likely to
have a good effect in counties in which
the democratic doctrine in respect to
silver does not appear to be so well un-
derstood.
