DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE MEETING.

The Democratic state central committee met
at Topeka, Wednesday. Following is report
Of the meeting, which we clip from the Kansas
City Star:
Topeka, May 3o.-The meeting of the Dem.
ocratic state central committee yesterday after
noon adjourned without action.
The point was raised by J. w. Orr that there
was doubt whether chief justice of the ST.
preme court could legally be chosen this fall,
and it was held that, pending settlement of the
question, it was unwise for the committee to
take any steps in the direction of state con-
vention. This view was taken by j. w. Orr,
w. F. Sapp, Eugene Hagan, J. G. johnson,
Ex-Governor Click, w. c. Perry and David
Overmyer.
S.A. Riggs objected to the adjournment with
out action of some kind. He wanted the CON-
mittee to declare in favor of free silver and said
that Orrs point was made for the purpose of
throttling such action.
1t was finally voted to refer the legal question
raised by Orr to committee of lawyers, and,
pending the decision of the committee, to adj
journ.
Riggs insisted on motion to declare in favor
of free silver I6 to I, but Chairman Richard
son ruled it out of order. Riggs was sustained
by w. c. Jones' ]. G. johnson and others.
Twenty-six members of the committee were at
the meeting.

THE "soUND-MONEY" roM-TOM.

The great "sound-1noney" combination IS
like a tree with fair exterior but rotten at the
heart-fair to the promise, but useless for any
thing but fre-wood. The "sound-money' men
present long array of high-sounding phrases,
but their arguments are easily punctured.
For instance, the "sound-money'' orators and
newspapers tell us that the silver barons are at
the bottom of the free-silver movement for the
purpose Of raising the price of silver and III
the next sentence we are told that the silver
dollar is cheap and dishonest dollar, and that
it will remain cheap. Now, if silver is to re-
main cheap under bi-metalism, the silver bar
ons will not be benefited, and if silver rises, 1t
will be cheap money
It would seem to an intelligent man that gold
will fall with the use of silver, and that every
body will be benefited except the English and
American gold conspirators
Two kinds of bread means cheaper bread OF
both kinds.

BANKERS "a large majority of them) are
gold-bugs, and declare that gold is the only
honest money. Mr.. Populist, you can educate
these fellows little if you will. Whenever
Won take check to the bank, demand the gold
An honest banker surely would not want to pay
YOU any but honest money. If every person
who takes check to the bank would demand
gold, that would set Mr.. Banker to thinking
Try it on, Populists.

Prof. LAUGHLIN, in the debate with "Coin"
Harvey, made an appeal for "sound money! on
the ground that bi-metalism would rob so many
widows, and also injure the old soldiers who are
pensioners. We are surprised that so great a
man should descend to such level The cry
that the widows and small depositors in savings
banks furnished the money that plastered this
country with mortgages is old and thin as gauze.
It is not the widows and small depositors that
are kicking against free silver, and that gives
the whole thing away. 1t is not the old soldier
who receives small pension who enters pro-
test, but it is the bankers and men who loan
money whose interest it is to have dear money,
and it is the politician of the Cleveland stripe
who cares not who sinks so long as he switns;
that knows that the gold-kings confer favors on
their faithful allies and satellites. Beware OF
the man who cries "Stop, thiefP' the loudest

THERE was meeting of Kansas bankers at
Topeka few days ago. Governor Morrill, es-
corted them about the state house. He also
attended the meeting and made speech
Among other things, he said: 81 came here
this afternoon because am proud to be one OF
YOU. l am proud to be numbered among the
bankers of Kansas. Our laws should
be more stringent. l do not believe mnch in
tbe examination of banks. The examiner is
compelled to trust largely to the banker as to
true value of the paper on hand. The
weak banker must be weeded out. l
would be happy to serve you at any and all
times.n The attendance at the meeting was
very light. The bankers were evidently afraid
to tackle the silver question direct, although
some of them talked about 'sound money"
