False Counsels.

The Associated Press quotes that
conveniently well-known indiyid-
ual, to lie found in all parties, who
says inst the thing that will best serve
The political necessities OF the hour.
At this time it is prominent Popu-
list who says that the Convention Of
the ODD will nominate Teller, and
gives as reason that it will best sub
serve the silver cause. He reasons
that Teller will carry the silver Re-
publican States and Bryan those with
Democratic predictions, giving
enough silverites in the electoral COL
lege to select one or the other of the
silver candidates.
The scheme looks like an effort to
pull the wool over the eyes of the rank
and file OF the Populist party. 1t will
not work, in practical way, unless
the Democrats should abandon their
kait AL VIC NtdteS WueTelu Letter
might possibly poll more Republican
votes than the Bryan electors, and
vote for man who declares that he is
Republican yet in everything except
the matter of silver coinage. DO the
Populist aspirants for the loaves and
fishes expect any better treatment
from such a man if he should be elect
ed than from a man like Bryan who
has none of the political faint that
Populists profess so much to abhor?
1t is hardly probable that in any OF
the States would Teller draw from the
Mckinley party vote equal to the
Democratic strength, which would
under the scheme be entirely lost.
1t does not look as if the idea had
been preached by anybody favorable to
the silver cause, but like the sugges-
tons OF the Pr. in the same line, to
have been made for the subversion OF
the party it ostensibly seeks to aid.

The Gold Plotters,

Humiliated and enraged by their
unsuccessful attempt to control the
Chicago convention by persuasion and
intimidation of delegates elected to
voice the imperative will of the peo-
pie. the goldbugs are now planning a
work OF retaliation for revenge. 1t is
currently reported in the inner circles
OF Washington political life that the
New York and New England gold
men have arranged for q systematic
raid on the government gold reserve,
to show their power and enforce their
ultimatum-an acquiescence in the
gold standard. A dispatch of Monday
says "There is little doubt here
now, either in or out of the Treasury,
that this plan contemplates q stupen.
dous raid on the reserve. 1t means
the issuing OF more bonds an attempt
to brighten the public into abandoning
the silver movement by impsiring the
credit OF the nation and raising the
cry OF ruin and bankruptcy, and as a
reward for their patriotic efforts an
other monstrous commission for re.
turning to the Treasury in lieu OF
course OF gold bonds the gold which
they have taken from it," Already
the work has begun. On the day that
Bryan was nominated they withdrew
a cool million, and the reserve was
brought below the 100000 900 mark.
The slump of many of the leading
city newspapers to the goldbugs
shows that the six million dollar cor
ruption fund is beginning to circulate,
and that influential newspapers may
be bought by glittering twenties" as
easily as the rural press by "boiler
plate" and patent outsides" and
"supplements." These autocrats are
however, venturing upon dangerous
ground. When it is demonstrated
that the deliberate will of the people
may be set aside by purchase of the
ballot, then the day Of anarchy has ar.
rived and the vaults OF boarded gold
will be at the mercy of the rabble.
Let them not, by their sordid selfish
ness present so disastrous results.

Representative Parties.

The present crisis affords an ex-
cellent opportunity for both of the
old parties to get rid of much effete
material. 1t is in the nature OF
things that parties long organized
carry with them class OF people who
are swayed by custom and associa
ton, and who, unless awakened to the
Importance of radical change, would
follow along in the same rut for ages.
There are some men in the Demo-
cratic party who utterly fail to ap-
preciate its distinctive character +;
men who love pomp and bow down to
those who are panoplied with those
distinctions which wealth accords /;
men who are as wanting in the charac.
teristics OF citizenship of q free gov
eminent as are the subjects OF the
most despotic of monarchies; men
who cringe and fawn and are never so
happy as when allowed to gather
crumbs from under the rich mans
table; men who hang to the coat
tails of those who happen to ride on
the crest of the wave Of pol itical favor.
Such men now have an opportunity of
changing cars and getting in with
more congenial company. On the
other hand, there have been by the
force OF circumstances some true
sovereigns attached to the Republic
can party; men who believe in the
right. under free government, OF the
citizen to rule; men who are able to
draw the proper distinction between
manly worth and the prominence
which is only due to fortuitous cir
cumstances. These men have an op-
portunity to allying themselves with
q party which has always stood as the
representative OF the rights of all,
equality before the law and special
privileges to none.
This opportunity seems to find
ample recognition, and all over the
country we find change going on
which will purge both parties of ex-
sraneous matter and leave each q
better and fuller exponent OF the
creed which far back in the history OF
our government Was formulated from
the austocratic, monarchial ideas OF q
Hamilton and the popular sympathies
OF Jefferson and a Jackson.

CRUMBLEs AT A TouCH.-The Ore
gonian copies approvingly from the
Chicago Journal the statement that
" 1t the Conventional was a Cleveland

dents name was received with greater

which sends out stereotype plates and

with goldbug literature for many
months before the meeting of the

that Cleveland and Whitney and Hill
received the plaudits of a machine,
set up days before the convention was
called to order and for that specific
purpose, but we are surprised that the
gold papers should have the nerve TO
brag about it.

A Sample of Deliberate Lying.

The Post-InteEiCcnCcr under the
caption Lying About the Plain
People" says
The claim is made that the people
are behind the demand for free coinage
the plain people, as Mr.. Bryan would
express it. This is always the cry of
the experimenters who want to try cur
ious remedies for supposed ills.
All this talk about the plain people be-
ing in favor of free silver with all that
would accompany it-a deprecated cur
rency, broken national credit and more
industrial depression-is as false now as
it ever was"
Now if the "plain" people are not
behind the overwhelming majority
that appeared in the protest against
the gold standard at Chicago, will the
Pr. state just who is behind it? 1t
is surely not the moneyed power, the
bonded interest, or the goldbug Ad-
ministration. In fact it has assumed
its formidable proportions despite the
lavish use Of money and all the power
of official patronage. Who then went
into the primaries with the fixed de-
termination to send nobody TO county
and State conventions who would not
pledge the election of silver delegates
to Chicago, but these same people.
who the Pr. Lies about" when it
asserts that the masses do not favor
free silver? They were most persist
ent and importunate in their demands,
IS that journal we'll knows, and had
they not been so much in earnest
probably their delegates at Chicago
would not have been enabled to make
the determined and decisive fight they
did. 1t needed nerve to combat the
well-organized lobby of the gold
power at Chicago. and it was upheld
by a consciousness of the firm stand
taken by the people on the subject.
The "depreciated currency" to
which the P.-L. alludes, is only indi-
Gated by a restricted value of labor
and all products OF labor-of property
values as measured by the legal none
tary standard-and that is all there is
in the subject. BY use OF the gold
standard, the debt OF the farmer or
mechanic has grown so large that it
cannot longer be measured by his
worldly possessions; what he bought
with the borrowed money will not re-
place the amount of his obligations,
and he is literally left to "hold the
SACK" while the judgment creditor
steps blithely in and takes all his
worldly possessions and records
deficiency judgment" for hat is still
due. The poor man very naturally
wants to bring together the value Of
the property bought with borrowed
capital and the money he must raise
to discharge that precise Indebtedness.
He must do this, or, in vulgar par.
lance, "go broke" and the latter
alternative may mean utter destitu-
ton and final starvation of loved ones
dependent upon him for support.
The persistent juggle of words
" deprecated currency" and national
credit" may serve the purpose OF such
papers as the P.-I., to mystify those
who allow others TO do their thinking
for them; but it is not fair nor hon.
est to assert so palpable falsehood
as is found in its headline, and then
endeavor to sustain it by just as con-
temptibly false statements.

The Vice President.

Arthur II. Sewcll, whose nominal
ton TO the second place on the Ma
tlonal Democratic ticket was quite as
much Of a surprise as the selection OF
Mr.. Bryan, is prominent ship builder
OF Maine, and came from one of the
oldest famiiie. of the State, who took
Il prominent and patriotic part in
Revolutionary occurrences, his grand
father having fought for American
Independence. For over seventy
years has the white on a blue
ground tluttering at the main spar OF
scores OF ships indicated that the owner
ship of some Of the finest vessels in
the merchant marine, WAC vested in
the firm of which Arthur NJ. Sewell is
the senior partner, his associates be-
ing nephew and the nephew's son.
During the 81 years that the present
firm, and its predecessors of the Sew
ell family, have managed the shipyard
at Bath, they have owned % ships and
built many more for other parties.
Arthur NJ. Sewell, the present head
of the firm is 60 years OF age. He
grew up amid the scenes OF the ship
yard, and has by that means acquired
an excellent knowledge of practical
business life. He has been President
OF the Maine Central railroad, a
bank director, and an active par,ici.
pant in many other business enter
prises.
Mr.. Sewell is an ideal candidate from
a business mans standpoint. AS a
master mind in ship-building, he will
possess an incentive to place our ma
ton where she properly belongs, FORE
most in the worlds commerce. This
is national resource which has been
neglected, and only for want OF an
intelligent, determined policy, sup
ported by vigorous will, and this we
believe will be supplied in the election
OF the Democratic nominees for Presi.
dent as we'll as for Vice President.
The selection of a man from the far
East removes any question that may
arise as to the choice of a Western
candidate for President. 1t shows that
the party is bound by no sectional
lines.
Mr.. Sewell enters with an enthusi-
asm into the contest for principle. He
lately said, in An interview:
"Two years ago could count on nv
fingers the Democrats in Maine who
favored the free and unlimited coinage
of silver; now the vast majority of them
are of that belief and their numbers are
increasing every day. anticipate a
