4 roPULIsTIC SUGGESTION AND 4
 SUBSTITUTE FOR IT.

AoR
 "Two-thirds of the democratic voters of this nation are for free s iver, and one-third Of the republi- CAn voters of this nation are for
 ae silver. All the popullst voters
 for free silver. Alone the popu- lists are powerleSs. If the demo
 ats nominate free silver demo
 It, he will get two-thirds of the votes of his own party, one-thlrd Of a votes of the republican party aud all the votes of the popullst party, which latter party will hold
 bs'snce of power under existing cunGIrions. Tn this way, and in thls way only, can this nation get free coinage of silver, and in this way, s5i .svay only. can the national dem racy win.
 Tn above very cunning popullst editorial is taken from our demo e c contemporary. IL IS very frank and open confession Sf the hoaelessness of the democratic cause .-L e country, unless that party can secure very substantial aid from
 blicar ] r0pulis-s. The ad-
 pu,. r,r airs n regard to the. ga. less and absolutely helpless condition of the Populist party. IS, If course, Do surprise to any one, except that the tone of 1t indicates that it might se the plsintiye and despairing utterance of populist leader, rather than what 1t really Is, the opinion of a democratic editor.
 Democracy has for third of a century been a party of policy rather than principles. It has dur ing that period formulated national plstformS calculated only to catch vol, IL has, in various states, surrendered all independence as a political organization to co.abina- tions with grangers, popui-sts or anything else which would promise it votes. The above suggestion IS in this same line.
 That Grover Cleveland came so nearly being elected in 1884, that he was counted in, and that he was elected in 1892, all by republican votes, there are probably none who will deny. And now the only saliva tion for the democratic party ID 1896, is frankly admitted to be by getting one-third of the republican vote snd all of the populist votes of the country.
 While it must be admitted that the republican party Is not unanl- nous in regard to silver coinage, the proportion is much larger than the aboTe estimate. As Ohio republi- cans, in bringing their favorite ex- governor 10 the front as presiden- .ial candidate, formulated a sound 'sttorm on the silver question, We ,.ould suggest as a substitute Tor the above, that the silver democrats
 q populists both join in support ing Mckinley for president. The ,,tter have DO hopes of ever winning in national politics, and the leaders ,f the democratic party have demon ssra.ed their total incapscity to manage the affairs of the govern men 'o q at the only hope Tor the i-.. .-eiiare and prosperity of the cot. ". rasts with the republican party. Nov. is the time for the pop u'izts who have been following an ig.-s !a,uuis, and the intelligent thinking democrats, 10 get into line
