Bangor Whig and Courier: Those papers
which are reading Mr.. Sewall out of the
Democratic party because he is in favor
of the free coinage of silver are trifle
premature. Just what the Democrats
may do in the next national convention

party has been for free silver and 1t is
very liable to stand by the record made
| in the late Congress. The talk about Mr..
Sewall is based upon the assumption OF
one man power, but the Democrats are
now doing some very lively kicking 1t

on the currency question, but up to date
there is little substantial ground on which
to base such belief
