The Washington Post contained a day
C, two back the following;
Three men leaned against the White
House mantel end the smoke from their
after dim er cigars curled IN ianiasu'
wreaths above their heads.
Speaking Of political predictions, said
one. Il have one TO make. The next ma
tional campaign viii see two Democrats
parties in the field. one OF them, the
drst 10 start for The Presidential Wire,
will have a frce-silver man for Its can
didafe. There will be nothing uncertain
about his views. He viii be for silver
out ana out And the platform VIII have
a biz. broad plank for him 10 stand on.
Then" fecking the ashes from his
cigar "there will be q Democratic party
OF smaller dimensions. II VIII be FOR
GOLD It's candidate Will be a pronounced
gold man. There viii be nothing uncer-
tain about his views. And he, TOO, VIII
have Q big broad plank 10 stand on. he
won't expect to win. His party won't
expect him to win. His night will be for
principle"
The Republican party" he went on
with the glibness Of one who has thought
IL all out will have Tor its candidate a
gold man who is friendly 10 silver. He.
TOO. will stand on & 6g, broad plank
And what are the names OF these
three candidates. one OF the others
asked.
The identity Of the free silver and
friendly men Is purely speculative the
first replied. 1.-The cAoice Of the gold
wing Of the Democracy is foresone con
clusiOn."
ct is
"Grover Cleveland"
And the rest nodded.
This Is fanciful. perhaps. but il con-
tains many elements Of probability. We
are perfectly confident. for instance that
tie Republican platform will declare I'M
oquivocally for sound money while II
coquets with the silver men with plank
calling for International bimetallism.
We are very much afraid. too. that
the Democratic convention will adopt q
platform calling Internationally for free
coinage al l6 TO l. upon which it will
nominate an outspokcn advocate OF that
policy. This may mean the ending OF
the Demoo ratio party as an influential
organization In this country for a num-
Der OF years. And. n 1t does this. then

valuable service than Grover Cleveland

out Of tile bonds sold TO it. il undertook
to protect 3uy Treasury against further
raids on its gold. When the contract
was made the gold that the Treasury
had was being drawn ont of IL at rate
which would have entirely denuded il in
few days. Whep the Presidents mes
sage announcing the contract was sent
TO Congress, there had been already drawn
out in the month Of February over
100000. The nature and scope OF the
contract was not understood for some
time. so that during the remainder of
February the Withdrawals went on. until
they reached the additional sum Of s.,
50O0o0, 50 that there were drawn from
the rIeosury during February $4,000"
But as soon as the nature OF the con-
tract was understood, the Withdrawals Of
gold commenced TO decline. and have
steadily declined each day, as viii he seer

stunned the nee silver and conhscatoiy

seemed 10 rally again along through the
winter and become even more aggressive

bus. and elsewhere on Tuesday. ought TO
teach these people that their pernicious
doctrines find 10 more favor with the
people now than they did last fail. IN
view Of Tuesdays elections, ii looks Ike
the verlest madness for Democratic poll
ticians TO cling to their scheme Of MAX
ing war on property and vested rights
and debasing tie standard Of values. The
only people who will be ultimately found
In those ranks are the owners OF silver
mines the people who are bankrupt ana
the cranks who believe 1t possible TO
create perpetual notion But every man
who has stake i'm life, and every man
who has a hope in life and expects TO
elevate himself and secure a home and a
competence for himself and his family

drawn between the two The first class

A KEPUBLICAN's GOOD ADVICE TO

The substance Of the case. then, Is
that while gold was taken from the

the Withdrawals for the month OF March

grown less day by day.

what had been steadily going on for a

issue OF bonds that Mr. Cleveland sold
