AurooRATIo STUPIDITY.

titude OF hostility 10 ehFei'
clares emphatically that he is frieno
to the white metal. That is the atti
.ude OF Senator Geo. w. Mcbride a.
opposed TO the attitude OF hostility
assumed by the oregonian and Mr.
Dolph and by them alone. These lat
ter would not support a silver man, OF
a friend of silver, or a "silverite," OF
an independent bimetallist, or q genu'
Inc bimstallist, or a blmetallist Of any
kind for any ONCE or any place In the
gift Of the Republican party. They
demand absolute devotion TO the single
enid standard az the only test Of Re
publicanIsm or Of loyalty or sanity
They prefer free trade copperhoAd to
a loyal protectionlst II he Is also
friend 10 bImetallism. They laud u
the skics the financial wisdom OF gold
bug Grover and his Cuckoo Csrllsl.
and In the same breath denounce the
beat Republicans in Oregon bscaus'
they happen to be silver men. Thi'
sort Of autocratIc goldbug stupidity
bodss no good results for the Republl-
can party In Oregon.
The RspublIcanism Of men like Lord
and Mcbride n tolerant Of all shades OF
opinion within ths party and they do
not hesitate 10 say they are not satis
fed with the single gold standard and
are for larger use OF silver. They are
frlsnds OF silver instead Of enemies.
They are not crazy on the subject either
way, especially not In the subject OF
goldolatry.
Mayor Catch OF Salem is another
tolerant type Of Republican. He con-
fenses frankly that he accepts the sim
gle gold standard theory Of finance.
Bot he puts his RepublicAnism fore
most. He says, put a silver man on
the ticket and 1 will support him.
such man silver men can respect and
admire for his sterling Republicanism,
ths essence Of which ls liberation.
