The Cook county democracy
adopted the conservative, and con.
sequently the wise course Saturday
in the elimination of the currency
issue from the factors which are to
figure in the direction of the party's
affairs In matters wholly local. No,
that the silver issue should be con.
sidered as sidetracked, but no steE
should be taken now tending t.
widen the breach that exists on the
theories Of national finance, where
It Is unnecessary. Every effort
should be devoted to reuniting the
party, and the election of John
Powers as president promises to &C.
complish that end. Silver is NOT
crushed or relegated one iota to the
rear. 1t will be the paramount issue
IN the next campaign, as it was in
the past. and the party as a whole
will come to realization of that fact
after the republicans have had full
swing for awhile. In the meantime
let US build up and strengthen the
party with reference to those mat
tiers of public policy which ar,
timely.
