Why Not stand Upon the Platforms

[ Why Not Stand Upon the Platforms
It is regrettable that there are newspa-
. pers and campaign speakers in this state
that are confusing the people by advocat-
. ing the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at the ratio Of Is TO !, Notwithstanding
the fact that the financial planks in the
national democratic platform and in the
state democratic platform are squarely in
favor of sound money. They find no au-
thority in either platform for the silver
views they are teaching. The demand
for the free and unlimited coinage Of ST.
yer at the ratio of 10 70 l is found only in
the populist platform.
Some of the statements these newspa-
pers and campaign speakers are using in
support Of their financial views are very
confusing and misleading. Their state
ment, for instance, that an ounce Of silver
has always had about the commercial
value Of a bushel of wheat cannot be
verified. As a matter of fact the price
of wheat or cotton does not appear TO
have been influenced in the least at any
time by the market price of silver. There
have been times when the market price
of silver was high and the prices of cot
ton and wheat were low. Anyone who
will take the trouble to look at the mar
ket reports for the last twenty years will
be satisfied that the price of silver does
not control the prices of wheat and cot
ton. What nonsense is it then TO tell the
people that if silver, by reason of a de
cline in its production or for any other
reason, should rise in commercial value
the prices of cotton and wheat would
rise, however great the production of
those articles might be. Such a state
ment misleads the thoughtless and does a
vast amount of harm.
The lim should be to give the people
the truth. 1t is of far greater impor-
lance that they should have that than
that any newspaper or party faction
should have the satisfaction of having its
views on silver or any other subject &C
cepted.

r. Republicans Of the stalwart kind will
see in Indiana to-day a sight that will
make them rub their eyes. Ex-President
Harrison is going 10 preside at Mckin-
ley meeting in Indianapolis. Apparently
the Ratchet has been buried by the big
chiefs, and Minneapolis has been forgot
ten, though when the interment took
place nobody seems 10 know. The ap-
Pearance of these two presidential candi-
dates together on the same platform may
enable the political sOothsayers to say
how the people of the west regard them.
Mckinley is in Harrison's own bailiwick

ton than Harrison gets, the signs would
be bad for the ex-President.

To feel very I n away from home

Beneath the sound Of lullabys?
To hold up hurts for al to see?

To clasp in welcome fathers knee
And ut so well to a mother arms?

A wood and pond, and to feel no lack7

L,ookine foraCandidate.

Although the democratic convention OF
New York viii assemble at Saratoga to-
day. there is great uncertainty as TO
whom il viii nominate for governor. In
/ this respect it will differ greatly from the
republican convention that assembled at
! the same place a few days ago. II was
we'll understood before the republicans
/ met that they would nominate Mr. Levi
f p. Morton. MIR. Plat. the republican
I boss, had decided that Mr.. Morton should
be the nominee. and the convention oDeyed
his orders.
The democrats are looking for a Candi-
date who can unite the two factions Of
the party and who, at the same time, has
the confidence Of the people. The man who
seems TO be in the greatest favor is Judge
Gaynor Of the supreme court He belongs
to neither faction, and is admitted TO be
man Of high character and great ability.
He was chiefly instrumental in exposing
the fraudulent election practices Of the
Gravesend officials, and it was through
his efforts that McKane, the powerful
political boss of Gravesend, was sent to
the penitentiary
Judge Gaynor doen't want the nomina-
ton, though it is believed he would &C
cept it from a sense Of duty if it were Of
fered TO him. He was recently elected to
the supreme court for a term
Of years, giving up a lucrative
practice TO accept the position
The judgeship pays handsome
salary, and Judge Gaynor would hesitate
to give it up, because he needs 1t. He is
not wealthy man, and he has to support
not only his own family, but also that of
his father. If he should accept the nom
ination he would have to resign the Judge
ship and take the chance of being elected
governor.
II is believed that the convention
would like to nominate either Senator
Hill or ex-Secretary of the Navy Whit
ney. 1t is understood, however, that
Senator Hill has positively declined
to be considered a candidate, and
Mr. Whitney is on shipboard bound
from Liverpool to New York. He
will not arrive in New York in all proba-
bility before the convention djourns. It
would not be advisable to nominate a man
that might not accept, and it is by no
means certain that he would accept. And
there are some reasons for thinking that
his nomination would not be a wise one.
There is at present a strong feeling
against trusts, and Mr.. Whitney is closely
identified with one of the greatest trusts
of the Countrywide Standard Oil Com
pany.
The democratic leaders are confident
that the ticket that will be nominated
will be elected. The differences between
the factions have been adjusted in a great
measure, and the ticket that will be nom
mated will have the support of the entire
party.
The Importance of the election in New
York on the national campaign two years
hence is well understood, and the demo-
cratic convention, in naming a ticket,
will put aside all personal prejudices and
differences. They know that the full
vote Of the party will be necessary to
secure a victory.

One Accountable Amendment.

The understanding seems to be that
the New York democratic convention that
meets at Saratoga to-day will condemn
in the platform it will adopt the consti-
tutional amendments that are to be sub
mitted to the people at the approaching
election in that state Without passing
upon the merits of all the amendments
there is one of them, it is safe to say,
that will be adopted, if they are % sub
mitted that they can be voted for sepa-
rately
The amendment in question requires
the legislature to pass stringent laws
against gambling of all kinds. There is a
strong and growing feeling against gam
bling in all its forms, not only in New
York but also in all the other states.
More men, young and old, are morally
and financially ruined by it than by al
most any other one thing.
Legislation against gambling is espe-
cially needed in New York. In that
state it is carried on to an extraordinary
extent. During the season at Saratoga
gambling games are conducted almost
openly, and tens of thousands of dollars
change hands nightly.
1t is probable that majority of defal-
cations, violations Of trusts and even the
petty populations, are traceable to the
gambling vice. The temptation to make
a large amount of money in short time
is so great that men in all grades Of so.
ciety yield to it. Losses lead to crimes to
get the means to continue the indulgence
in the vice.
The anti-gambling amendment to the
New York constitution should be adopted
and similar amendment should be
adopted by each of The other states.
Legislation of that kind is in the right
direction. Remove the temptation and
there will be a great falling off in certain
kinds Of crimes.
