THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

a certain l6dQluR AOpNN'
in Utah twits a democratic cotempor-
arv With the fact that he does not
name q candidate, while glorylng IN
the fast Frightening outlook for a COM
nlete democrtic victory next year. The
democratic cotemporary's reply has

If will very probably be, that next

yer ever since the republican majority
IN congress IN 1873 demonetized it. we
can state for the benefit Of the leading
republican paper the further tact, that
the nolitics of all the earnest advocates
of remonetiz alton, with but TWO or
three exceptions, are democratic But
mare half dozen republicans have
gone on the record for remonetlzation
in earnest. and in every case. the dec
laration lacks much of being unequl-
vocal and outspoken. Senators Jones
and Stewart are the only real leaders
of the people in the republican party
who really burnt the bridges pehlnu
them. or who proposed to stand or fall
upon the demonstration OF silver
while great majority of the demo-
Gratis in vhe public service, in congress-
in rbe senate and also in the service OF
the states are now and have ever been
closely identified with the silver move
ment. One thing now, however, is very
plain and that is that those who are
making the silver racket are democrats.
II is no truer of Kentucky and LIMOS
than it is of other western and south
ern states. States are going on the
record. The democrats of both Ken
lucky and Illinois are aligned on this
question while the republicans of these
two states as well as Ohio are
on record for gold. For the single gold
standard as against the democratic
double standard of both gold and silver.
The issue next year will be the re-
storation of the double standard. Upon
this the democratic party of the
ana the repupncan party OF the nation
stands opposed. 1t is probably very
true that in ell the states are to be
found individual republicans fsvoring
free coinage, but in all the states the
masses of the republicans are uncom
mitted or are openly opposing the re-
storation of silver. This is the year
preceding national action and it is the
time, the proper time, for individuals
Rs we'll as parties to begin the making
of the verdict. So far the democrats
have made the verdict for free coinage
and the republicans against.
Let there be no present squabble
over names. Let the efforts of the
free coinage, men be they democrats or
republicans, be addressed rather to the
task of winning free coinage strength
for the free coinage candidate, let him |
belong where he may. This may not
be just the fairest partisan proposition,
but it is eminently fair for silver. We
feel no sort Of doubt, nor does it seem
at all probable, or even possible that
any other than free coinage demo-
crst will have the national nomination,
nor is it possible for other than pro-
1ouneed gold, or single standard re-
publican to capture the natl nal nomi-
nation.
These are facts which are already
seen and understood. This is the sill.
7er test to be applied. Now how do

II party regardless of the name or
ocality of the man?
