WASHINGTON, April i6.-hi 80
o'clock this afternoon the PETER reso.
luton for the investigation OF b0rl
GALES was laid before the Senate, and
a struggle for precedence occurred.
Cullom, Allison and Hale urging the
appropriation bills. Ii was finally
decided to consider the bond resolu-
ton. Hill Of New York took the
floor TO oppose the resolution. He
said this was a Populist resolution
and no one had a better right to con.
troll it than PeiTcr. 1t was Populistic
and hostile to the issue OF all bonds.
Hill declared an Investigation was
proposed without; any charge or
grounds or imputing wrong dong.
Petfer wanted the bond investigation
because ho thought there wa popular
curiosity about the bond issues.

\ square fight On the silver question
has been made in Missouri and Ala,
bama, aud il each the silver men have
been victorious. In TS counties in
Missouri silver delegates have been
elected to the State Convention, and
outside the city OF St. Louis the cham
pions Of tho white metal Will have 1t
all their own way. The st. Louis
Globe Democrat, the most radical
gold standard paper i'll the Mississippi
Valley. is disgusted, and says the job
OF proving TO the cOuntr! that Mis-
| souri, is not welded to that relic OF
barbarism, the silver standard, will
now devolve entirely on the Republi
cans.
In Alabama. the primaries resulted
in the nomination Of Joseph L. Johns
ton, s~ilvcritc. over Clark, the gold
advocate. Johnston is said to have
374 votes out of sol votes, though
there is some dispute over the dele
cations in two counties.
The Alabama and Missouri delega.
tions to the Chicago Convention will
join with other silver delegations to
secure il free coinage candidate on Il
free coinage platform. AS they are IN
the fight for principle, they will not
participate in the nomination OF Il gold
standard man nor pledge themselves
to support him They expect assist
ance from at least twenty other
States, and will have sufficient back
ing to set up business on their own
account in opposition 10 the gold men.
No silver man worthy the name will
remain an active participant in Il
State or National Convection, in this
year of grace, which dominates Il
single gold standard candidate on a
gold standard platform. Monetary
reform is the issue, and he who is not
for 1t is against it. Straddllng and
double.dealing cannot be countenanc
ed by real silver men. who want the
mints opened to gold and silver. us the
founders OF the Government provided

was. That oug ht to have settled it with
Bryan, but it apparently did not, as be

on the question. No one can blame the

cept the nomination is sure to nauseate

A LESSON FROM THE SILVER MEN.
New York Sun.l

The freq silver party has taught les
son to the supporters Of honest money.
Concentration of forces is to he the
policy of the assailants of the public
credit. Whatever may happen as between
Sewall and Watson, there is no longer
any doubt that Bryan will get the unit
Cd vote of the free-silver men, whether
they call themselves Democrats. Republi-
CANS or Populists.
Have the friends of honestymoney and
the defenders of the nations honor less
politisal sense than the enemies thereof
The result Of the two conventions in St.
Louis last week increases the possibility
of disaster in Novem Der. 1t is both
useless and foolish to blink that fact. 1t
Is now more than ever the imperative
duty of Democrats concerned for the
try's good name, to abandon the idea of
splitting the honest money vote between
Mckinley and third candidate who will
hold democrats from Mckinley and
thus impcril cause thousand times
more important than any issue of parts
anship.
SOUND MONEY OF FIRST IMPORT
ANCE.
II believe in protective tariff, " says
Governor John w. Grsggs OF New Jer-
sey, "but I would sooner thousand
times live under a sound-money, free
trade administration than under a free
silver administration, even if it favored
protection. ] think sound money Demo
Gratis should feel the same way"
A PARTY OF UNRELATED PARTS.
(New York Post.)
1t will be seen that the Populist party
Is curious patchwork of unrelated
parts. Its one uniform source of strength
is the cranks, who are to be found every
where, but most largely in the ruder
communities. In one region 1t means
earnest opposition to local Democracy
In another, bitter hostility to local Re
publicanism. In the silver region it's very
life breath is the advocacy of free coin
age; in many old strongholds of Green
backism free coinage would gladly be
dropped as an issue for an unlimited out
put of paper money. The most striking
presentation possible of it's divergent
characteristics is found Ia the fact that
its leaders in Kansas today advocate d
fusion with the Democrats for the choice
of Bryan electors, and in Texas with the
Repu for the choice of Mckinley
electors. As a study in politics tht
course of the organization during the
campaign just opening must be full OF
interest.
The Portland daily press., 1896-07-30

Mr.. c. Vey Holman who invites the
cooperation of all Democrats in this
state favoring a new Democratic ticket,
was delegate to the Chicago conven-
tion, and made a vigorous and un-
compromising fight against the free sill
yer platform from the beginning to the
end. After the platform was adopted be
refused to have anything more to do with
the convention and became practically
q bolter. He still remains bolter, with
no disposition to make his peace with
the crowd that captured the national
Democracy and is now plotting to cap
ture the, Democracy of the state. His
conduct throughout this business has
been straightforward and courageous,
something that cannot be said of all the
delegates who went to Chicago pledged
TO oppose free silver.
