Silver Men Defeated.

CANTON, O.. June 14.-The ad-
ministration forces the country
Democracy today defeated the
silver men by packing the econven
tion and refusing to adopt reso-
lutions of any sort. They did 50
by refusing the harmony promo.
ters of the parry, but not until
a big row was had between t h e
two factions.
1t was appreciated by Antho.
ny Howells, consul to Wales, who
tried to endorse the Cleveland
policy after the convention had
decided to let resolutions 60 by
defa ult.
The silver men tackled on the
endorsement every declaration Of
the party since 1876. and the del
egates, rather than repudiate all
these doctrines were ready to
vote with silver men, when low.
ellis took the matter out of their
hands by withdrawing their mo

COMMITTEES together that it
may call y State silver con.

that the State committee has
already met once too often.
At u time Of profound peace
it has thrown an apple OF dis
cord into the camp, and now
it is proposed that it re-as.

There is no demand from the
rank and file of the party for
any such convention as that
proposed; the suggestion is
from the fertile brains OF
statesmen out of jobs. They
,haye been lost in the wilder
ness and a star Of hope has
arisen. 1t bears the furm and
color of a silver dollar and
they nre falling down a nd
worshiping it. Seeing an O..
overwhelming disposition on
the part of the people in fa-
vor Of free silver, they cor.
ceive that they can safely uf-
ford to ignore the minority
sentiment IN the party. slap
it over and go on. We are
here to say to them t h a t
they can't afford to do any
thing of The kind. When they
come to the polls next year
they cannot rely upon Popu-
list votes but must depend
upon the votes of Democrats
and there are notenuugh free
silver Democrats in North
Carolina to carry al election.
1t is well enough for them to
bear tins fact in mind and
not goad the sound money
men beyond the point of ell
durance, A proposition to
call a free silver convention
now, sixteen months in ad-
vance OF the election, when
there is no sort of occa-
sion for it, is an unnecessary
defiance of a respectable mi
nority, and the consequent
ces would be disastrous.
