it is given out on the authority nj n

thinks the democratic party can win
this year by declaring unequivocally
for sound money AMI nominating 4,

Is going to be the controlling one I'm

have only 10 put themselves on the
right side Of ii in order to- sweep the
country. The proposition is well i'm
agined, but there is not so much to
DC said of It's practicability. There are
.er:ain obstacles in the case which
cannot be removed by simply wishing
that they were out of the way. Mr..
Cleveland himself has helped to create
them, and he ought to know that they
represent n condition and not theory.
bis devotion to sound money has made
him many enemies for whom he ought
TO be loved, which is to say that he
has generated kind of antag onism in
his party that forbids the idea of such
surrender as his plan of success CON
templates. He has acted courageouslv.

and intensified the free silver sentiment
that he expected to suppress. 1t is
potent and implacable force, and the
suggestion that it ought to discredit
and humiliate itself by n BETRAYAL of
the cause for which it stands will only
serve to render it more aggressive and
vindictive. instead of tending to make
il amiablc.
Mr.. Cleveland knows, of course. that
over two-thirds of the democrats in
the present congress have voted for
free silver, Notwithstanding all that
he has said and done in the opposite
direction. These men do not speak for
themselves merely, but for large con-
stituencics that are very much in earn
est about the matter. He has surely
not failed to observe that in every dem
ocratic state his party is divided upon
TINS question in an uncompromising
and acrimonious way. The two fac
tons are more bitter toward each other
than they are towards the republican
party. 1t is all very we'll to say that
they ought TO get together, but by what
miraculous process is such a result to
be effected? The contest grows fierccr
every day, and to talk of harmony on
the basis of a surrender by either side
Is foolish. That is what Mr. Cleveland
has done for the democratic party by
thrusting the currency issue upon it,

and trying to- bulldoze it into an ac-
ceptance of his views. The free sill
'erites have burned their bridges be
hind them, and it is useless TO think
of reconciling them to a sound money
platform or candidate. They are well
organized, and firmly resolved to fight
the thing ont. There is not the remot-
est probability that they will consent,
after all the abuse they have endured,
TO fling away their convictions and
make am AFFECT capitulation. Mr.. Clevc-
land may cry peace at the top of his
voice, but it will not come. The time
has gone by for that sort of thing. and
he might as well keep still about it
