 the Chicago Ticket.
 Chicago Staats-Zeitung: The Democ- racy which declared itself last week in Chicago is new and degenerated edition of the Democracy of 1861; in it reigns the old Bourbon spirit which never learns and never forgets. Who, therefore, de- sires that the United States should fur ther develop their national organism; that the national government should be further strengthened in the interest of all; that national honor be kept Unde- filed; that the national credit be kept in- tact, turns away from a Democracy which has placed itself at the disposal of destructive forces and joins that party which was called in 1861 to save the Union, and which in this year again has the patriotic du.y to purify the na- tional organism from the poison of the Populistic Democracy.
 The issue is not one of party, but of the highest achievements of the nation, which can be kept secure only by the | authority of the Federal government, by an honest currency and by an inassail- I able credit.
 Iowa Tribune Dem.), Davenport-Ihe | recklessness and fanaticism of the silver people at the Chicago convention, who trampled all opposition under foot, has made a very bad impression even upon many of those who sympathize with the theory of the debasers of money. The majority of our voters is not ready by any means to deliver the nation to such
 crazy demagogues as Bryan, Waite, Till
 man and others.
 Waechter und Anzeiger Dem.), Cleye- land-The currency plank, with it's de- cisive declaration against the gold stand
 ard, which. with total disregard of the
 entire other world of culture and com merce, is declared to be an English insti-
 tuition and is stigmatized as such, while
 the free coinage of silver at the ratio of
 16 to l is demanded as an immediate
 measure of government, cannot fail to
 make an altogether revolutionary impress.

 if this news should cause in Europe a
 decline of American securities in all eX,

 Louisville Anzeiger Dem. .)-Nonsense
 thou prevailest! From Grover Cleveland
 to William Jennings BryaD-this is q
 so easily ready. The Anzeiger prefers al
 any rate not to make it. After the adop
 ton of the platform the Anzeiger had nc
 need to pause a moment for the declara
 ton that it would not support the can
 didate who would accept the nomination
 upon this platform. The nomination o
 Bryan makes this duty easier and mor'
 agreeable Bland and Boies would bav'

 of the cause which they represent. II
 Bryan we do not only fight the cause bu
 the person. Only convention whicl
 placed Tillman above Cleveland ant Blackburn above Carlisle would perpe trate the bad joke to present the youn,
 hero of phrases from the West for thu highest office in its gift.
 Seebote Dem.), Milwaukee: As tn, : close of the century has brought fortl . the abominable "new wOman," wh' rides bicycle. smokes, drinks, wear trousers and tears herself loose from al ) old customs, so there has arisen in Chi cago, imbued with the same revolution ary spirit. thew Democratic party, which stands everything time-honored ol 3 the head, denies the traditions of the ol' ' party, administers a kick to honesty an' decency and comes before the peopl with financial programme which is . mockery to all reason. The thew wom an and the "new party" are genuin : fin de siecle experiences, and one wOul !. consider neither of them seriously if the . were not so serious in their consequences l They are on the one hand the regret { table and undeniable eXcreScenccs of tn l liberality of social views and on tn f other hand of the freedom of the polit n cal thought that the Constitution of tn = United States prevents nobody from mal
 ing a fool of himself as often as he like
 to.
 Davenport Democrat Dem): Tn = time has arrived for the clean separatio h of the two irrcconcilablc wings of tn r Democratic party. to which the Demo Q crat has called attention for two year. r Those Democrats who remain true to tn e unaltcrable national principles, as the e were proclaimed by Thomas Jefferson l. James Madison and the other fathers ( l. the republic" can have nothing in con !. mon with the Populistic new Democrat !, who stole the banner and the name ( r. the glorious old party to betray undo t it's shelter the sublime principles and 1 e throw the country into unspeakable mi l. cry.
