zoo CnIIing Cor ono Convention.

1t can be stated without fear of sue
cessful contradiction that the statement
that is being circulated by the silverite
papers that the great majority of demo-
Gratis of Georgia without regard to the
question whether they favor a sound cur
rency or a debased currency are sup
porting the one convention movement Is
not correct. The sound money democrats
don't want the unbroken custom of a
quarter of a century changed. That GUS
tom is to call two conventions in presi-
Dental years, one to name delegates to
the national convention and the other to
formulate a platform and nominate a
state ticket Those who are clamoring
for one convention are the slverites.
They want the change because they are
satisfied that after the national conven-
ton speaks they would not dare to at
tempt TO have the Georgia democracy
declare for the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver at the ratio of Is to l.
1t is an easy matter to ind a few men
in every community ready to sanction
any change in party procedure that NAV
be proposed. We assume that the papers
that are asserting that there is a practical
unanimity in every county of the state
in favor of one convention have quoted
only those who agree with them. That
method of getting at public sentiment is
not one TO he commended. We are in
clined to think it will not mislead the
members of the state committee. Unless
they have already made up their minds
to call only one convention they will
hardly do so because of anything they
have seen in the silverite papers to the
effect that the democracry wants only
one convention.
In one of the silverite papers, the Con-
rstituton, it is stated in dispatch that
sentiment in Savannah is almost unani-
nous in favor of holding one convention
We are confident that this statement
is not correct. If the dispatch had stated
that the sentiment is almost unanimous
in favor of two conventions 1t would have
contained what is nearer the fact. If the
statement in respect to the sentiment in
Savannah is a sample of the statements
in respect to the sentiment in other coun-
ties of the state respecting the one con-
vention movement the state committee

VIII They Ger Toretherr

In our Washington dispatches yester-
day il was stated that leading democrats
in that city we're earnestly trying to find
a basis OF agreement between the silver
ties and sound money men OF the demo
cratic party. They fear there is but little
ground for hoping that the democratic
party will be successful in the approach
ing presidential campaign if the party is
divided on the silver question.
And the democratic leaders are not
alone in wishing a settlement Of that
question. The republican party has a
large silver element in its own ranks-an
element that causes it a great deal Of I'M
easincss.
The proposition that is said to have
been presented by a leading senator.
namely. to issue 500. 10000 Of bonds and
take up the Grcenbacks and treasury
notes. and 10 declare all bonds payable in
gold and open tho mints to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. stands very
little chance of being acceptable. As
congress- is an present constituted it
would he impossible to get a bill passed
providing for the cancelling Of the green
backs and treasury notes, and it would
be impossible also to get a bill through
the House authorizing the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver. But because
there is no probability of an agreement
on the lines indicated it does not follow
that an agreement on some other line
that would be helpful to the treasury
is impossible.
If an earnest effort were made by the
party leaders in congress a settlement
of the currency question might be reached
that would put the treasury in much
stronger position than IL now occupies.
The silverites cannot help seeing that
the demand for the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver is by no means as great
as it was a few months ago-that the
politicians are making much more noise
about it than the people are-and that
unless something happens to bring silver
into favor again the silver issue will
not cut as much OF figure in the national
campaign as it was thought 1t would
a few months ago. If they respond,
therefore, to public sentiment they will
retreat from the position they at pres
ent occupy, and permit legislation that
would restore confidence in the currency.
The only thing that is hindering pros
perfty is the doubt about the currency.
II congress would but give assurances
that the currency will be kept sound,
vast number of new enterprises would
be undertaken at once. There is a great
amount of money idle, but capitalists
hesitate to make contracts because of
the uncertainty in respect to the cur
rency. The silverites are responsible for
this hesitation. If they were guided by
the proper spirit they would not attempt
to force the country to a silver basis
until they had converted a majority of
the people to their views. At present
they are in the minority. but are doing
the country an immense amount of dam
age by using the temporary advantage
they have in the Senate to force compli-
ance with their financial views.

OPPOSING SUPREME COURT DECrs-
IONS.

The Democratic party opposes the
decision Of the United States supreme
court in the income tax case in exactly
the same manner that Lincoln said
the Republican party opposed the de-
cision of the supreme court in the
bred Scott case.
I'VE oppose the bred Scott decision
in certain way" said Lincoln in his
sixth joint debate with Douglas, at
Quincy. upon which 1 ought perhaps
to address you a few words. We do
not propose that when bred Scott has
been decided to be a slave by the
court, we, as a mob, will decide him
to be free. We do not propose that,
when any other one, or one thousand.
shall be decided by that court to be
slaves, we will in any way disturb the
right of property thus settled; but we
nevertheless do oppose that decision
as a political rule which shall be bind
ing on the voter 70 vote for nobody
who thinks it wrong, which shall be
binding on the members of congress
or the president to favor no measure
that does not actually concur with The
principles Of that decision. We dc not
propose to be bound by it as a. politi-
cal rule in that way, because we think
it lays the foundation, not merely of
charging and spreading out what we
consider am evil, but it lays the foun-
dalton for spreading that evil into the
states themselves. We propose so re
sisting it as TO have 1T reversed if we
can. and a new judicial rule established
upon this subject"
The Democrats have good precedent
for their dissent from decision of the
supreme. court, which they believe to
be radically wrong. They propose to
oppose the income tax decision just as
Lincoln proposed TO oppose the bred
Scott decision.
