The Boston journal is unkind
enough to suggest that exMinister
Edward d. Phelps's illogical attacks
on ClevelaDd's Venezuelan policy
now being so grandly indicated by
events-are due to ''frigidity" devel-
oped between the two men, when
Cleveland passed by Phelps in ap-
pointing supreme court judge. The
Journal attributes Cleveland's action
in this case to Mr.. Phelps supposed
unpopularity with the Irish -Ameri-
cans. But it may be that he had
heard of some of Phelps haracteriza-
tions of him as " fifth rate lawyer"
when first nominated in 1854.

Now one of the charges against
Bryan is that he is IA member of the
A. p. A. He has not directly denied
it yet, though he has made some elo-
quent speeches this week for the right
of every man to worship God according
to the dictates of his conscience. To
newspaper reporterwho put the ques-
tion to him he replied: "Say that my
friends say that | am not member
of that order" But it would be
better for him to answer straight for
himself.

Mr.. Bryan in his post convention
speeches is taking unusual pains to en-
dorse the Chicago platform in all its
poulistic length and breadth, height
and depth. At East st. Louis he said,
81 can say to you that Mr.. Sewall and
myself stand on the platform. and ii
we are elected we will carry it out to
the letter. 1t is really too bad that
so sensible man should go to such
ridiculous lengths.

Talk about "demagogy'' in the
Chicago platform, when the first cam
paign story advanced against Bryan
is that he is an attorney for the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad 1t would OF
course be nothing against him if
true. but the fact turns out to be, as
stated by his partner, That Bryan is SO
over particlar about such matters that
when the partnership was formed,
years before he had any ideas of office,
he stipulated at large money loss
to himself, that the railroad business
should be entirely that of the partner.

A Question and Answer.

| Ed Reformer,
! Sir: Your candor in discussion i.
! nearly always admirable and the rea
| reason Of the hold YOU have won among
a people of whom the great majority
| disagree with you. Your editorial last
week on The Argument of the Cam
| paign was good example of this,
| but while heartily commencing its
tone and temper. want to call your
| attention 10 fatal misconnection in
| ii. Your claim is that international
agreement is the only safe way to
reach birnetalism and in your con-
fusion you say we cannot fail to
reach il. while 10 an earlier part of
the same article you seem to admit -
OF least you do not deny il anywhere
that what the silver men claim is
true, that England will never join in
such an agreement. because cher in
terest as "A creditor nation is in ad
herence to the gold standard. I" This
gument fall to pieces: And why,
admitting as you do the justice of
bimetalism, do you not virtually admit
that we silver men are right that it
is time TO stop fooling over Inter
national agreement, and go ahead and
do what ought to be doney
Very truly, b. M.
The point "B. NJ. makes was
covered in an article the week before.
II is strongly probable, though not
certain, that England would not join
in any bimetalic agreement, but judg-
ing from the past, her adherence is not
necessary to make it a success. She
has been on gold standard since 1916
but while the other nations had the
double standard, or up to 1873, they
had no ditfc ulty in maintaining il
without England's help. and there is
no reason to doubt that they can do il |
again If they will 90 about il together. |
The difficulty heretofore has been
hat Germany has hung off, and taken
he ground that sne would no 90 back
i'll England did. But the action of
he German states last fall gives
'round for belief that she has come to
! full realization of the evils of mono |,
netalism and is willing to join the
ther nations regardless of England.1
I this be so. it is enough.

The fact remains that the silver

abide by the will Of the majority,
IL the argument to those Democrats
who do not believe in free silver ano
upon which it is hoped to draw them
to vote against their convictions. The
argument itself is due to confusi on
of ideas which very little thought
will clear away.
1t is at the ballot box, not in party
gatherings or conventions, that politl-
cal questions are decided in America.
When the majority decides at the bal
lot box, ii is not only our duty to sub
nit but we must. The party conven-
ton simply submits recommendation
to the voters, expresses an opinion
upon subject or some aspect OF 1t,
which it tasks the country to ratify.
Amy man who asks such rati fication
Of what he don't believe in, to just
that extent makes fraud OF the
whole business. engages in a game Ut
deception upon his fellow citizens, and
then il he votes for it himself he vic
lates the oath ne has taken beforeGod,
as freeman. Undoubtedly in minor
matters, in mere preferences regarding
non essentials, it is duty, because u ne
cessity for party organization, that indi
viduals should::yield. to the judgment OF
the majority. But in an issue Of princi-
plcor a ques,- on on which the voter
elieves public welfare to depend, his
individual obligation under his free
mems oath is supreme.
But besides its essential wrong in
principle, this "abide by the ma
jorlty' argument is altogether too jug
handled in this case. Mr.. Bryan does
not believe in il himself and il the
majority of the convention had been
the other way he would not have
abided by its decision, Jas he has re-
peatedly taken occasion .. to make
plain. Only last year when: he was
speaking at Jackson, Miss, Judge
Rraeme of that place asked him
il he would support the ac-
tion of the Democratic National Con,
vention If it should fail to put free sill,
yer at l6 to in its platform. Mr.,
Bryan replied:
80 help me God, will die in my
tracks before | will support it,"
At Birmingham, Ala, a little
later, he said in reply to similar
question;
Nothing in heaven above, or the
earth below, or in hell beneath, could
make me support gold standard can
iidate on gold standard platform.
In October, '93, he wrote TO aTopeka,
Kan, friend, +. g. Wilson:
have not left the Democratic party,
tut am ready to do so as soon as am
that it, as party, is welded
o the gold standard.
He also said during the progress of ,
he Chicago convention There hes
,een a rumor started that announced
year ago that | would not support |

vas gold man on gold platform.
hat is true, and | certainly would I

No criticism can lie against Mr. I

hey expressed fidelity to honest belief. I
