THE WAR IS ON.

From the Salt Lake Tribune: The

of the silver cause. and Is said TO be
dismayed at the outlook for sound
money" meaning thereby gold mono
metallism. But as Bishop sigurd said
when the storm was at its height,

witchcraft OF his foes;" 30 President
Cleveland keeps up q stout heart, and

lucky, then in Georgia and Alabama
But that fight will be at doleful dis
advantage. The people of all these
states, and especially the Democrats
inhabitating them. are silver men
from away back; In Kentucky they
were taught their chatecism by then
Senator, now Treasury Secretary Car

thoroughly that nothing can shake
them; and more particularly will they

at the dictation Of President Cleveland.

sist isn't genuine democrat. In
Georgia the silver faith pervades all
classes. We don't believe a party that
rejected 1t would have any better show
before its people than an abolitionist
would have had in running for ONCE
there in 1860. In Alabama. the people
are SO firm for silver that Mr.. Oates.
with all his popularity and with the
energetic backing Of the administration
and all its officeholders, was in such
peril by reason Of the discontinuance
of silver coinage that Mr.. Oates cam
paign managers prevailed upon Score
tary Carlisle to have some thousands
of silver dollars minted with the year
1894 upon them, so they could show
them to the people in proof that the
coinage was not stopped as charged.
That saved the day. We are not az all
alarmed by the ADMINISTRATORS light
against silver; 1T will fail. and we don't
believe that it is waged with any be-
lief in success, but only to convince the
monomctallists of the East OF, the
thorough "soundness' of Mr.. Cleveland
on the money question. and to show
that in him is their only ro|iance. This
of course would contemplate his NOM
ination by them once more to the pres
idency on a Sound money" platform,
and death to all silver pleas or recog-
milton of the white metal save strictly
as token coinage. This looks ike the
programme, and as things are shaping
IL would contemplate the breaking up

Mr.. Cleveland by all the goldites, DEM

straight for or against gold monomet-
allism. The result would not be NTH
least doubtful; the goldbug wouh "

we of the West occupy singularly
| strong position in this prospective

| be suffered to interfere with that unity
| IL the fight should be on the lines IN

| everywhere and we believe its current
| and volume will break up what APP
| pears to be the Cleveland programme
as above indicated. The administra-
| ton will not be able to make any head
way in its crusade; II will have to give
up the fight as hopeless. and silver will
triumph in both the republican and
| democratic conventions. The gold
crowd will weaken as they have al
| ready done In Chicago, in the presence
of the democratic move for silver IN
| Illinois. We look for such a triumph
| for silver within year as VIII terri1y
| the goldbugs and cause them to hide
their heads. The prospect lis either
| that they will give way before the sill
yer storm, or else see themselves &C
| overmatched that they will have nc
spirit for the fray next year, and nc
heart to name a candidate of their
| own.
