THE RUMBLINGS.

For nearly two months prior to the
assembling of the leagues clubs con-
vention at Cleveland we were told
every day by the republicans: wait
till our people get to Cleveland ano
then you will hear explicit declarations
on silver enough to satisfy ALL" Well
"our people" have been to Cleveland
and ell we hear is, the free silver peo-
pie triumphed because they were strong
enough to scare the gold bugs off from
making any gold bug declaration.
Was there ever political faction as
easily satifed as the republican free
silver delegates to ClevelandP They
were oYerioyed when it was deter
mined to relegate the silver question to
the regular national republican con-
vention next year. This sort of free
silver devotion Will never Tehabilitate
silver. Sterner devotion is required
and the people have now arrived at
about the same conclusion we have,
and that is, the republican party hav-
ing originally destroyed silver, hasn't
yet sprouted the desire, much less the
purpose to restore it. 1t is pity for
the handful Of free coinage republi-
cans in the silver states that this iE So.
We all sYmpathize with them, but it is
no use III them any longer continuing
the effort TO deceive the people OF the
silver producing states. The Cleveland
convention only did what the nomin-
ating convention will do next year. 1t
will simply avoid the issue and raise a
a great stir over protection" recl>
procIty and other tariff questions, but
as Cleveland rejected silver and re
fused to discuss it, so will the Tepubli-
can national nominating convention
next summer.
The republican party does not go be-
fore the country on the question Of
original demOnetiZatlon. Neither
dare it defend any part Of its policy On
silver since '7S. Its club as we'll as it's
national conventions must stand by
the traitorous act of Sherman, even if
th nation goes down in rack and ruin
in cpasequence, That black record is
the own and they dare not recede
fl, = it. They will not. Then let the
I, deluded westerners whose all is
b.zsd on the restoration of silver own
up, come out and away from the party
anG olE nethiDR else. Honest men
mt io this Honest republicans dare
moi ,Ius linger in the house of their
enemy end sit longer at the board and
eat OF the Sc Of the men who dehber
ately reduce the west and the south
both to beggary, to serve the gold
barons Of Wall street and the bank of
England. ., that some great leader
would rise up and show these deluded
western republicans the nature and
character of the slavery to which they
are being reduced,
The honest money" screed is the
bugle call which is beckoning the coun-
try oyer the brink of safety into slavish
subserYiency to the plutocrats, into ac-
qulescence, in the enforcement of
money as the ruling principle of our re-
public. If we must wear chains, if we
must don the collar Of the millionaires,
let US not do it willingly. Let US pre-
test as men and if needs be let us fight
as men, before we surrender as did
the western delegates 10 the gold
barops at Cleveland.
Col. TIumbo, G. E. Allen and Bill
Glasmann are now called upon to ex-
plain why they did not come out of
the Cleveland convention when refused
an expression for silver, as they prom
ised to do. The explanation will
meyer be made. They dare not tell
the truth, and anything else would be
detected. They can't 60 TO the senate
from Utah, Utah is free silver state.
