 BRO. MORTON, of the Fordyce Ea- terprfse, says that he is for free sil- yer, in the party or out of it, ;" and that he will not support any gold bug for office. If We mistake not Bro. Morton has announced that he will be candidate for State Audi tor next year, and tanding his extreme silver views the GRAPHIC felt predisposed to support him in his race. But n view of this declar- ation We desire now to ask if Bro. Morton wants or expects the sup port of sound money Democrats, whom he is pleased to denominate as "gold bugs27 We pause for Q re- ply.

free si!verites of this State, and in view of recent expressions the question is a very pertinent one.
 Recently a great many leading Flights in the free silver camp have manifested disposition to read all who did not think as they do on financial questions out of the good old Democratic party. Now,if their declarations are to be construed seriously, these same persons threaten to bolt the Democratic party in the event the National Democratic Convention in 1896 re- fuses to be dictated to by them and declines to accept their free silver 16 to l fiat idea of finance.
 As time goes on apace and the day for the National Democratic Convention approaches, nothing be- comes more certain-as far as poIi- tics can be certain-than that con- yention will declare for sound money
 The silverites see and know this, hence their recent declarations are of considerable significance.
 It will be remembered that not long ago no less distinguished per sonages than the Hon. Jerry South and Charley Collins advised bolt if the National Democracy did not indorse free silver in 1896.
 Now, the Hon. Thomas Bottomly Morton, of Fordyce, comes along and declares that he is for free sil- yer, "in the party or out of it, and that he will not support any gold bug for office.
 Last week the Fordyce Enterprise and Cdronic7e were consolidated, and in announcing the consolidation Bro. Morton thus speaks of it's fu- ture editorial policy:
 Politically, We hardly know what to promise, because we don't know where we are tat. Our sympathies and votes have always been with the Democratic party, aud we have a lingering hope and earnest wish that the old craft may be steered clear of the gold bug breakers and that we may still be able to stand upon it's deck, but we say frankly that this paper will be for the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to l, in the party or out of it. We shall support all silver Democratic can didates with free good will but we cannot give any gold bug our sup port
 In view of these declarations 1t is pertinent to inquire where are the silver gea "at?" If the Democratic National Convention adopts sound money platform, do these ''silvernatics" intend to support the ticket or not? Do they consider themselves greater than their party, or are they willing to abide by the action of their party? Are we to have loyalty, or are we to have trea- son? The "sound money" men of Arkansas have expressed a will ingness to abide by the action of the National Democratic Convention, the proper tribunal before which to determine all pa 'ty questions. Now, are the silverites ready to do the same thing? Or will they follow their free silver fantasy into Sibley's third party of fiat money?
 We trust that our free silver friends of the 16 to 1 variety will not consider these questions at this juncture impertinent, and that they will answer categorically. In the light of recent development it is not improper to ask some assurance from those who are so exacting in their demands where the sound money Democrats are concerned.
