pered that a combination was being
formed in this State having for its
object the defeat Of those members
of Congress who voted against the
repeal Of the bullion purchasing
clause of the Sherman law. The
scheme was to run candidates op-
posed to silver in the districts rep
resented by Messrs. Washington,
Snodgrass, Richardson, Cox, Enloe,
and McDearman. They were to be
known as Administration candi-
dates, and, if possible, to prevent
the denomination of the present
Congressman named.
This program of placing opposi-
ton candidates in the field has been
completely carried out in the Third,
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth districts, primaries were or
dered, and the Democracy of the
Third, Fifth, Seventh and Ninth
districts have so far spoken and IN
tones that can not be mistaken.
In the Ninth district McDear-
man, who stood with Enloe on the
silver question, was overwhelming
ly re-nominated without leaving his
post of duty at Washington. The
Democrats of the Fifth district re-
nominated Richardson on the same
ground, and so with Cox, in the
Seventh district, and Snodgrass, in
the Third district. They were all
opposed by popular and influential
Democrats, who, in nearly every
instance. have been pressing their
claims since early in the spring.
The contests are still to be de-
cided in this and the Sixth districts.
Recent reports from the Sixth dis
trict strongly indicate the re-nom-
ination of Washington by a very
handsome majority, and the Demo
Gratis of this district who have not
been influenced by personal mo-
tives have been convinced by the
course of events during the past ten
days that the Democracy of the old
Eighth will be no less true to their
faithful representative in Congress,
who has redeemed every pledge and
kept every promise to the people.
The fact is that where it has been
decided to be practicable Admins
tration candidates have been put
out against those Congressman in
the South and West who refused to
aid by their votes in movement
which destroyed every vestige Of
statutory recognition of silver bul.
lion as a money mental. And we
have the first instance to RECORD
where the people have been untrue
to those representatives in Con.
gress who have been true to then
and their interests.
The CHRONICLE has been dispos
ed to be neutral in this contest, bu
recent events have convinced u'
that we would be untrue to the De
mocracy Of this county if we fur
ther ignored the true situation az
it now exists, and we earnestly urge
Democrats to wake up and not b.
caught in the trap which has beer
set to defeat the nomination of sill
yer men for Congress, 1t is an is
sue that rises above personalities
and it should be seen in the righ
light.

IT is the duty of all Democrats
to vote in the primary next week.
You owe it to yourselves, your par
ty, and the gentlemen who ask rec
ognition at your hands, that you
vote in the Congressional primary
tomorrow week. Vote for the can
didate you think will best promul-
gate your principles and interests,
and you will have done your duty.
But don't fail to vote! 1t is essen
tial that a full vote be polled to get
the choice of the party, and that is
what is wanted. Only Democrats
will be permitted to vote.

this subject: LIST, the keen Interest he

wnge.earners.
s.. That unless this question be set
tied coon, and settled right our coun-
try will be ruined. Labor has certain
rights that every one under heaven

Why should Labor not organize?

up ciub or gun and point 1t at the

against which labor should guard, that

Labor leaders should be total alb
