0VA0
The Honest Money Democrats in this
State seem to lave taken hold of the
situation in a business-like way. They
are wasting no pains over forrnalities
for which the time is too short, and
they are taking every possible step TO-
wards giving the people q hand in the
game without waiting to build up an
elaborate party machinery.
The men who are in present charge OF
the movement as a State Committee all
enjoy the public confidence. They are in
the fight for the general good and not
to gain anything for themselves. Indeed
fully one-half of them ave far more
to lose than gain by antagonizing the
regular party organization. They are, be-
sides. quite competent to conduct the
sort of campaign that is wanted Sew
eral of them are astute and experienced
politicians. All the rest are men of en-
ergy and brain. The State Committee is
a body Of hustlers. and it win be heard
from between now and Election Day.
As for the open convention project. we
can see no possible objection TO it. It
will probably bring together quite as rep
r~esentative a gathering as usually at
tends a State Convention of any party.
It will quite as accurately represent the
sentiment of its constituency in all parts
of the State as does the customary ag-
~gregation of boss-selected "~delegates.''
But the real advantage of the plan is
that # saves time-which is precious just
now-and brushes aside all the embarrass-
ments which would result from the lack
of local organization, if an attempt were
made to hold primaries or elect regular
delegates.
This gold movement is not, for the
present, a movement towards permanent
organization of a party. It is. in its
present shape. a temporary expedient to
further n ephemeral purpose. After
November next, in all probability, the
silver night viii be a thing of the past.
What might happen, if Mr.. Bryan were
electedsit is idle to speculate. The prob
abilities are overwhelming that there will
be no room for a "soun money party
after the vote is counted. for there will
not be anything else in the country. I'm
der these circumstances. the less red
tape and circumlocution there is about
the third ticket struggle in the next
sixty days, the better.
There is one thing to be done: Give
the Sound Money Democrats, whose name
Is legion. a chance to vote against Bryan
without voting for Mckinley. This being
done the only remaining duty is to spread
the intelligence broadcast among the peo-
PIE. and there is already plenty of ma
rhinery for this urpose.
