The TRANSCRIPT wants harmony,
and union and victory. but they must
be with honor. Mr.. Addicks cannot
be accepted with honor or even with
the prospects of present or future sue
cess. The "olive branch of peacen
from the Addicks committee was only

impossible, there being no one but
Mr.. Addicks and DR.. G.. w. Marshall
who would have The gall to assume to
name candidates for the people in ad
vance Of their primaries. This was 4
sham and fraud. If the Addicks
convention really desires harmony aud
success, as 1t processes to the people, 1t
will have an opportunity to show it by
deeds, not words only, at Dover on
Tuesday. The Addicks committee
stepped in before the Georgetown Con-
vention two days and for what pur-
pose remains to be seen. II it is to
force the Regular Republicans to en-.
dorse or reject an Addicks ticket there
can be no question as to ihe result.
Thousands of Republicans have for
ever rejected Adiicksism, which means
Addicks or nobody. The fact that the
Adiicks people have ordered the cleo
tion of a new county committee of the
Addieks persuasion for New Castle
county is proof conclusive that they
mean to still further push the party
division. Regret the situation as we
may, it cannot be improved BY regrets
and true Republicans have but one
course to pursne-to eep in the mid
die of the road and to keep cool.

The humiliation of Democracy ha.
been full and complete at Chicago thi:
week. From a Republican point of
view this, in part, a. least, has been
deserved since four years ago in more
than one State that party joined
the <Populis's in voting for electors,
and by that act gave endorsement to
the populistic ideas that dominate the
Chicago Convention. But the reflect
ing Republican cannot rejoice at the
discontinue of his political foes since
there is too much at stake in the re.
suits of the election If one-half Of the
evils that are predicted should follow
the possible 81 ccess Of the sill.
yer men. As rule politicians take
too great risks and while we d. net
think it probable that the nominee of
the Chicago Convention can be electe
it is possible, and then what?
There are those, however, who wei.
come an out and out contest; to fight
it out squarely and settle it once for
all. If it is an irrepressible conflict it
had best be settled at once, but if it is
wave Of sentiment that is fostered by
the present depressed condition of the
country then it il better to let it spend
its strength Of itself. The great dan
ger in meeting it is that men for the
sake of party will not express their real
convictions at the polls. If the anti
silver Democrats are sincere, if Sena-
ors Hill and Gray and Villas mean
what they say, if the Democratic pa
pers of the east believe what they pre-
dict of the evils that would follow the
acceptance of free coinage, then pa
triotism, manhood and honesty de-
mand that they reject the Chicago nom-
inees, and the most direct way to meet
the issue is to vote for Mckinley. This
is not said in a partisan sense, nor
tauntingly, but it is the ideal of free
government, for according to the anti
silver Democratic leaders it is the most
important question before the people
to-day.
The Chicago Convention has been
more like mob than anything else. It
violated all precedent in turning down
Senator Hill for temporary chairman.

has turned out enough delegates to get
two-thirds control. Tt refused by a
vote of 564 to 339 to endo Sc Presi dent

the denunciations of the President
were appIauded to the echo. Pitch

such convention? OF course the sill

Cleveland have recourse to the power
vested in him BY existing laws to issue
bonds in order 10 obtain The necessary
gold to repIenish and protect the re-
serve. Of the Presidents action in
this respect the proposed 'sdemocratico
platform says: I'VE ara opposed to
the issuing Of interest bearing bonds
of The United States 10. time Of peace,
aud condemn the traflicking witlibank-
ing syndica,es which, IN exchange for
bonds and at an enormous profit to
themselves, supply the federal treasury
with gold TO maiutain the policy of
gold m ,n0metallists. This is the pro-
posed treatment by democratic con-
vention of the administration of the
only democratic President whom we
have had in thirty years. All the gall
and bitterness of republican and OF
populistic hatred Of Mr.. Cleveland is
distilled in these words.
1--WE have said nothing in regard to
the principal feature of the platform -
the free-coinage plank. That, of course
is crucial and deci. i've. By that one
declaration the convention cuts luose
from all the teachings, the precedents
and traditions of ths>psst. 1t ceases to
be a convention of the democratic
party, or to have any right to that
once-honored and historic name. 1t in
fact expressly and formally 'relegates
to the rear,' as undeserving of present t
consideration, all former questions aud
issues upon which the democratic party
has taken stand. Even the question
of tariff reform is showed aside aud
treated with contempt. Until the
money question is settled we are OPP
posd to any agitation for further
changes in our tariff laws, except such
as are necessary to make up the deficit
in revenue caused by the adverse de-
cision of the Supreme Court on the in
come tax
Yesterday that staunch Democratic
paper, the philadelphia Record" said:
''Such is the Democracy of the Chi
cago Conventional The cuckoo Of Popu-
lism has stolen into the nest of the
Democratic bird and laid its eggs.
There is nothing wanting, not even
Altgeld's aDarchism, in the proceed
ings of this convention to disgust and
ALLEVIATE every true Democrat in the
land. II matters nothing now who
may attain the notorious distinction of
the candidacy of this convention for
Presidency. With every Sound Money
Democrat the main consideration is to
defeat the candidate of the Chicago
Convention and to beat back the waves
Of reputation and anarchy. When the
tariff and all other irrelevant issues
cIinli HdfC uccil uioullooSu IIUm Gllc
contest this will not be difficult task
for the American people an over
whelmipg majority of whom will rally
to the defense of The public credit and
the honest standard of money. If it
shall be deemed iradvisable or imprac-
ticable to effectively reorganize the
Democratic patty for this campa ign
there will remain for every Sound
Moaey Democrat the opportunity of
voting for the Republican candidate
for the Presidency who stands on a
platform which declares unequivocably
for the gold standard of value"
