Columbus. Ohio. Oct THE Free Silver Demo-
, Gratis declared .dr. Brice to-day and
committee of white-metal conferrees will to-mor
row issue a circular letter to the Democrats Of
Ohio, asking them 70 support the ticket nonli-
mated at Springfield. but to oppose all candidates
for the Assembly who are not willing to pledge
themselves to vote against gcld-standard or
"sound-money" Democrat for Senator There Is
much CONSERVATION among the Democrats. but
there will be more when The Tribune makes
the exclusive announcement which appears below
A few weeks ago General John Beatty. local
banker contributed to a local newspaper series
OF articles critcising Coins Financial School
These articles were subsequently colated and
published In pamphlet form, and the pamphlet has
just been issued from the press The book contains
the Endorsement of Senator John Sherman. who
characterizes the criticism as the best answer to
Coin" which he has seen. and by Daniel y. Nor
gan of the Treasury Department. But there Is
an Endorsement which is Of far greater interest to
those free-coinage men whose sentiments Com
has carried into his platitudes.
In 1891 when Mr.. Campbell ran against DC
Kinley for Governor he advised his silver con-
stituents that he was willing to chance silver,
but be made no positive declaration in favor Of
any financial system. This year ne is supposed to
stand upon the Springfield platform. which Is
considered blmetalc. The silver circular to be
issued tomorrow asks the Democrats 10 stand
by Campbell and the State ticket. but 20 oppose
Brice 1t will be a surprise to the silver men 10
know that Mr. Campbell il deep in the mud as
Mr. Brice is ir the mire, and that II Is case or
the pot calling the kettle black. Mr.. Campbell
only three days after the convention by when ne
was nominated wrote this letter II Colonel simeon

Sulting good Sincerely yours. .,,,,r,r
The publication Of this interesting Endorsement
will probably cost the Democrats $4,000 votes
General Beatty IS Republican and has sound
views on the money question Silver men VII
hardly relish this Endorsement Of sound money by
a man whom they have urged their fellow Demo
Gratis to support. 1t is only another one of the
mistakes of Campbell who is criticised by the
thinking men of his own party for his undignined
attacks on the character Of Governor Mckinley
and the measures enacted h, the last Assembly.
There is a suspicion that Mr.. Campbell is about to
curtail his references 10 Local affairs and enter
upon vigorous support OF the Monroe Doctrine.
He has evidently been inspired by the Admins
tration. as he made speech at The State COnven-
ton in favor OF the application Of the Monroe
Doctrine to the Venezuela ase. and earlier at
Tammany Hall he uttered similar views. The
dissemination Of this principle Will give MT Camp
bell rest from his many mistakes.
