A Voice from Philadelphia.

The dispatch from Philadelphia in

Club, makes very interesting reading.
The directors declare that the position
Of the club ON the currency question has
been miSreprcSented and misunderstood,
and they. therefore, deem ii eNpedient
to formally state the sentiments held by
a large majority of the members.
The statement issued by the directors

national republican and democratic con
ventions. The republican platform says:
The American people. from tradition and
interest. favor bimetallIsm, and the repubii-
can party demands the of both gold
and silver as standard money.
The democratic platform has the fol
lowing:
We hold to the use OF both gold and
silver as the standard money of the coun-
try, and to the coinage of both sold and
silver without discrimination against either
metal. or charge for mintage.
The members of the club naturally
take these utteTances as fair statement
of the opinions of the mass of the Ameri-
can people, ana they claim that there is
almost. if not complete, unanlmlty or
opinion in the belief that the use of both
gold and silver under the double stand

assemble in Griffin on the 18th of the
present month. That convention VIII
represent the ideas and policies that
Senator Morgan has been the champion
of ever since he entered public life, and
nothing could be more appropriate than
that the greatest southern statesman Of
modern times should address the demo-
cratic element that is now trying 10
throw off the shackles that have been
imposed on them in the interest of for
eign money sharks.
Senator Morgans speech will be worth
hearing. AS an American he will speak
to the American freemen there assem-
bled. As democrat he will speak to
convention of democrats. The occasion
will prove to be an epoch in the political
history of Georgia and the south.

Senator Morgan at GrifTiu.

1t is fortunate indeed for the cause of
the people that the Griffin convention is
to be addressed by such a man ia Sen
ator John r. Morgan. lie is today the
NeStor of democracy in the south. For
twenty years he has represented the
democrats Of Alabama, and indeed. the
democrats of the whole country in the
senate of the United States. During
that period the essence and quality of
his craftsmanship have won the admira-
ton Of all sections.
To-day. Senator Morgan is the only
man in public life whose intellect and
career can be compared to those of Cal
houn. Webster and Clay. Though he
is comparatively an old man, his mind
is essentially modern. Though he is a
southern man he is essentially an Ameri-
can. His craftsmanship is too broad,
his patriotism too strong and his intel
lect too great to be bounded or limited
by sectional lines When history comes
TO write down its verdict, this dis
tinguished southerner will take his place
among the very greatest men who have
represented the evolution of democracy
in this republic.
1t has been said Of Senator Morgan by
a distinguished northern critic that no
subject is too small for his attention,
and no question too large for his com
prehension. During his long service in
the senate he has mastered every ques-
ton that has ever been brought before
the federal legislature. He has equipped
himself 10 discuss them all, and he never
rises In his place in the senate but he
says something new and Interesting
something worth saying and worth hear
ing
There is no man whose public career
has been more consistent and more sat
isfactory.@ Senator Morgan represents
not only the democratic party, but
stands for that higher and larger demOc-
racy which belongs to the life and ex-
perience of the republic. He represents
those democratic ideas that are above
party, which may he roughly described
as the American spirit-thc spirit that
always presents a serious front to for
eign aggression.
1t is fortunate. We repeat, that such Q

1t seems that the effort recently
launched TO stampede the democracy OF
Mississippi TO the gold standard has
slipped trigger.
With Il great flourish of trumpets IL
was announced some months ago that
Governor Stone, who has become an r
dent goldbug, would be elected to the
United States senate to succeed Senator
George. To aid him in that race Presi-
dent Cleveland wrote him a most full
some letter. which rallied to the gov
ernor's support NEST of the office holding
contingent in the state. Affairs did not
move smoothly, however, and President
Cleveland sent Assistant Secretary of
the Interior Sims into the state 20 turn
the tide.
The whole story is well told on another
page by Mr.. +. J. Moran, The 'Jonsti:u-
tons special staff correspondent
This crushing defeat OF Governor Stone
In his own home, aided by the power of
the national administration through Mr..
Sims, is true index of the campaign
now going ON in Mississippi. So intense
is it that every candidate for office, no

Grafton. All the candidates for United
States senator, save Governor Stone, are
avOwed 16-to1 men, and so assured is
McI.aurin as the representative of that
idea that he now stands alone in the
race against III. G. McCabe, the gold
bug, who will not carry three counties
out of the seventy-live in the state.
Even the constituents of the newborn
cuckoo Congressman CatchinGS. have
turned against him, and every county so
far acting has declared for free coinage
at Ii 90 /.
As is pointed out by Mr.. Moran. the
people of Mississippi have no quarrel
with President Cleveland on the score of
recognition. That state has been as well
taken care of as even Massachusetts il
self The people are aroused TO Il prin-
ciple; their homes are at stake, and the
prosperity of the country hangs In the
balance. They want restoration or
good times, which they are satisfied can
be accomplished only through the free
