SILENCE OF HARRISON.
The Republican President Played 'Possun
with His Party.

The Republican President Played 'POssum
with His Party.
John Sherman in his book says, in
telling why the silver law of 1890 was
passed: "The silence of the president
on the matter gave rise to an a%pprehen-
sion that If q free coinage bill should
pass both houses he would not feel at
liberty to veto it." Therefore, as the
alternatives seemed to be free silver or
the silver bullion deposit law, the re-
publicans took the latter and lesser evil.
This lets the republicans in congress
out, but where does it leave Harrison?
II the leaders of the party in congress
lost faith in him in that crisis. how
ought tho masses of the party feel to.
ward him? Most Of the rank and file
Of the republican party thought Harri.
son was, and still think he is, sound on
the silver question, but the misgivings
of the party leaders, who ought to know
more about him than do the masses
will shake their faith in him in this
particular. 1t is encouraging, how.
ever, to know that nobody aver fell
or now feels any doubt as to what
Cleveland would have done or would
do with a free silver bill rel II every
member Of his party in the country
shouted for 1t, and II it received 9

THE OTHER CASES.
In the case brought by Messrs. Cald-
we'll and Pope, to enjoin the election
Of delegates for the Constitutional
Convention, Judge Golf delivered a
short opinion, sustaining the jurisdic.

LOUISVILLE (Ky.), Aug. 19.-The po-
litical campaign was opened in earnest
tonight at the Auditorium in the pres
eDce OF 5000 people, with joint debate Of
three hours between General Z. Watt
Hardin and Colonel William Q. Bradley,
the Democratic and Republican candi-
dates for Governor respectively. The
assemblage was equally divided between
the Democrats and Republican.
The vast ball was hlled half an hour
before the time set for the opening of the
debate, and the immense stage held 400
prominent men Of each party, The
presence Of so many was an indication of
the deep interest that is being taken in til @
situation in Kentucky.
Mayor Henry 5. Tyler introduced the
the two speakers.
In opening his speech, General Hardin
SAID he was not present to answer him
self with cunning, evasive diplomacy,
but to 90 battle boldly and bravely for
the principles of Democracy. After re-
iteratipg his allegiance to the principles
OF Democracy, and declaring them neces-
sary TO the welfare OF this country, he
touched lightly upon financial matters,
saying that the Republicans, with an i'm
pudence that would be surprising in any
other party, claimed that there were di-
visions in the ranks over The currency
question. lie said that the Act OF 1873
demonetlZlng silver WAS an act OF treason
to our country. kentuck ians knew that
every Democrat at the recent State Con-
vention had opinions of their own, and
each had dared 10 express them, and II
had NINE They were honest, and | shall

shotted for the enemy aud we shall win.
Our platform calls for the coinage of both
metals without discrimination, provided
only that the parity of the two metals be
maintained. What Kentucky Democrat
will not stand on that platform ?"
Colonel Bradley began by saying that
he was here to discuss live issues and
not those that were dead. Answering a
question of General Hardin, he said il
was not true that there was a controversy
between himself and Congressman
Walter Evans over the sound money
resolution of the Repu blican State Con-
vention, and the COurer-JoutAdi had
itself denied it. 1t was also false that ne
had refused to commit himself Oh the
currency question. He was for sound
money, with single gold standard, and
before the convention told Democratic
editor that he would refuse the nomina-
ton If his party adopted a free silver

SPRINGFIELD (O.D, Aug. 19.-Delegates
to the Ohio Democratic Convention are
slow in arriving, but those who are hero
are quite willing to express their opin-
ions concerning the result OF the con-
vention. There is no dou bt now that ex-
Governor James L. Campbell can have
the nomination if he will accept it. He
seems to be the man on whom all factions
OF the party can unite. Notwithstanding
the refusal Of Sorg and Kilbourne to be
candidates, their friends are urging their
claims. SOrg's refusal was not such a
one that could not be Withdrawn, as he
said his health was poor and the pressure
of business prevented him from accepting
the nomination.

Campbell Will be the next choice of the

Barney Layton, who arrived this after

500 delegates, and OH sound money plat
form he would control perhaps 600.
Captain ID. c. Ballentine thinks the
nomination will be forced upon Sorg,
