IN a speech before the Nebraska
Legislature in January, 1895, Hon.
John NJ. Thurston, who presided over
the st, Louis Republican convention,
said: IF l were to frame a platform it
would be for the supremacy of the
constitution; for law and order in all
things; for an honest expansion of the
currency to meet actual demands on a
business like and equitable plan; Ameri.
can mints for American mines; the free
coinage of American gold and silver
on an equitable basis; and a patriotism
as eternal rs the stars" In this elo-
quent deliverance of a pure nan and
a great statesman we fail to discover
any %rottenness and inconsistency. It
is a a divine gospel compared to incite-
ments to revolution, the streaks of
fanaticism and the threats of commu-
munism and anarchy contained in the
Chicago platform. 1t is refreshing to
turn away from the vaporings and
frothings of Democratic brawlers to
this grand classic political wisdom and
fervent patriotism. And yet the Dem.
cratic organs take this pronouncement
in favor of law, order, good money and
prosperity as a text for an endless
amount of bosh to prove that it's bril-
liant author is a turncoat, a demagogue
and a timeserver. The Democratic
press is stuffing its readers with such
sickening rot.

IT may prove a bit of interesting in
formation to the fellows who look on
Bob Taylor not only as "a fellow of
infinite jest" but as a peerless prodigy
in statecraft and finance, that the cost
of his first administration as Governor
was S19S, 900 more than that of his
predecessor, and his second term cost
the taxpayers of the State SALT, 900
more than his first term. These are
official figures and show that Robert
requires an enormous quantity of the
peoples hard earned money to main
tain the peace and dignity of the
State" These figures were freely used
by the Democrats opposed to his nomi.
nation to prove his inability to run the
State Government safely and economi-
cally. 1t is the opinion of the best men
in the State, regardless of politics,
owing to the record he has made in
dissipating the public funds, that his
election at this time, when the univer-
sal financial distress is unprecedented,
would be a serious blunder, if not an
actual calamity. Jokes won't gon
and the music of the fiddle will have
no charms when the people are con-
fronted with the fact that the luxurious
amusements are employed for no other
purpose than to appease their indigna-
ton over the wrongs and outrages that
have been heaped upon them and
divert their attention from the real
issues before the country. Truly Robert
l.. Taylor is a rose the cost of whose
cultivation is a rich sacrifice upon the
part of the people.

1T MAY 10y BE SO.

Comptroller James A. Harris, who
is charged with the collection of the
revenues and ought to know, says that
there is plenty of money in the Treas
ury to meet the obligations of the State
and there was no earthly necessity for
the Old Fraud, who regularly steals Gov.
Evans salary, to the Legisla-
ture in extra session. The Comptroller
further says that a short time before
the proclamation was issued he had a
lengthy conference with the usurper,
in which he laid before him in detail
the financial condition of the State,
and endeavored to convince him to no
avail that there was n~o..occasion to call
the extra session.
In view of these facts and the rotten
record of the Old Fraud, many Demo-
Gratis believe that he had sold out to
the Republicans, chat a generous part
of Hanna's bar1 has been transferred
to HE pocket and he called the extra
session to defeat Bob Taylor for Gov
ernor and to elect a Republican Legis.
lature SO that Bob would have no
chance for election to the United States
Senate.
OF course these Democrats are beside
themselves. The Republicans will not
monkey with a man so unreasonable,
irresponsible and unprincipied as Pete
Turney. If they spend money at all
it will be where the recipient can give
bond and security that he will perform
his part of the contract.

ticket peculiarly their own. They can
not succeed. They do not hope for sue
cess. But they would rather 20 down
ia honorable defeat under their own
unsullied banner than to be found in
the fallen repks of the reckless repudi
ationists and Wild anarchists when the
glorious day CT Republican victory
comes. They will record a deed of
courage and patriotism which will be
monumental proof of the world that
with them mere party victory is of sec.
ondary consideration and that they
hold the faith, honor, credit and sta
bility of the nation in sacred esteem.
The triumph of Bryan and the law
less and dizzy hordes that he leads
would be the triumph of heresy and
wrong. He is pledged not only to give
the country II debased currency but
free trade. The fear of capital, the haz
ard of investment, the shrinkage Of
values and the consequent utter stag
nation of business would bring at once
universal bankruptcy and distress. All
hope of final recuperation from the Sc.
rious ruin already wrought would in.
stantly vanish. To avert these disas.
tiers men are justified in crossing party
lines and breaking up all political af-
fiiations. And they who unhesitatingly
give up party for country and throw
themselves in front of the enemies of
the public welfare show themselves
men of unfaltering courage and honest
and patriotic convictions.
This bold action of the independent
Democrats-this open, sharply defined
and irrepresSible revolt against the ty-
ranny of fanaticism and anarchy-is
not the harbinger only but the double
assurance of our unprecedented Repub-
lican victory in November. The votes
that will come TO Mckinley directly
and indirectly will more than fill up
the gaps in the Republican ranks caused
by the desertion Of those who loaf
around the mining camps or chase the
gopher through the sage brush of the
Western wilds.
The people are wearied out with the
shadow that is constantly changing
places with the promise of the sub.
stance. They have gazed at the phan-
toms rising from the bright isle float
ing in the brains of the Micawbers
until patience has ceased to be a yir.
tue. With disasters behind and on
each side of them and dire dangers in
front of them they are seeking a quick,
safe, sensible way of escape. They are
not infiamed with Populistic- Demo.
cratic frenzy to the extent imagined.
They may be somewhat confused and
perplexed, butthey are asking for light;
they demand information; they are
anxious for instruction. They welcome
the cool and reasoning processes of ed
ucation, and especially the pronounce.
ment of the Republican National Con.
vention which is the only clear, logical
and comprehensive exegesis of the is
sues before the country and the only
solution OF our difficulties that can be
accepted with safety. And thus it is
that the symptoms of a popular up
heaval which will overthrow all enc
mics to national thrift and progress are
most encouraging.

Money-The Republican party is unre-
servedly for sound money. IL caused the
enactment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payments In 1870.
Since then every dollar has been as good
as gold. We are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase our
currency or impair the credit of our coun-
try. We are, therefore, opposed to the
free coinage of silver except by i~nterna-
tional agreement with the leading COM
mercial nations of the world, which we
pledge ourselves to promote, INT until
such agreement can be obtained the exist
ing gold standard must be preserved. All
our silver and paper currency must be
maintained at n parity with gold, and we
favor all measures designed to maintain
1~nviolably the obligations of the United
states and all our money, whether coin
or paper, at the present standard-the
standard ofthe most enlightened nations
of the world.

HE Is JUST THE MAN.

80 ga o.
Hon. G. N. Tillman is one of the
strong, able and prominent men of the
State. His character is so ~unsullied,
his good qualities so prominent and
his intellectual endowments SO pro-
nounced that the average Democrat in
the intensity end bitterness of his parti-
san rancor and prejuice has not had
the hardihood to unfavorably criticise
him. He is a gentleman of profound
literary culture, a lawyer whose abili.
ties have brought him alarge cliantage
and ample means, and he is in no sense
a time serving politician. Born in
Tennessee and connected with one of
its most distinguished and influential
families he has always been an uncom-
promising Republican. He has v
sought political preferment and the
honor he now wears came to him I'M
solicited.
Mr.. Tillman is a %forceful, eloquent
speaker, logical and convincing. His
analytical mind grasps at once and in
their entirety the political questions of
the day, and he can impress upon his
auditory his own clear convictions
with telling effect. When he meets in
debate the effervescing and eflorescing
champion of peterbuterism the people
will discern the difference between
vapid declarations and big ~pretensions
and the eloquence of reason and sound
argument.
The Republicans of Tennessee will
be en%raptured with Tillman when they
hear him on the stump. He is not
ashamed of his republicanism, nor is
he backward about telling the reasons
OF the faith that is In him. He ia not
afraid to attack the gang that stole tn Q
Governorsbip of the State, and he will
expose the infamies of the Turney Ad-
m%inistration with unsparing severity.
His election is a strong probability, but
he will be counted out IL elected should
ehOiS w ohy pOopiDio CuduC6 Oh repeat
ing the "outrage of '04." This fact
should spur the Republican party to
redoubled activities not only to elect
Tillman, but to achieve such a victory
that 1.-THE gang" will be restrained
from attempting to overthrow the
verdict of the ballot box.
The Republican ticket is now com.
pleted. Our principles have now their
chosen opponents. They are all worthy
and capable men from bottom to tor
and from top TO bottom. We should
now be able to intelligently measure
the work before us. The issue is moi
doubtful IL we do our duty. A bold
active, aggressive campaign, with a
solid front before every line of battle
that the enemy presents, will insure q
victory that will remind the country
OF the proud triumphs that glori6ed
the Republican standard in former con
tests. The morning has dawned, the
strife Is on, and IL we acquit ourselves
like heroes the field is ours when the
day is done.

Not enough Gold and silver.

Never In the history of the world has
there been sufficient supply of these
two metals to maintain and support
prices. In all ages, and ut the present
time, some nations have not been able
to procure sufficicncy Of either of these
two metals They have been compelled
to resort to the devices Of paper Issues
and other forms Of money; and all of
them today are compelled to resort to
substitutes to greater or less degree
for the precious metals; hence it is not
within the power Of tho Legislature to
initiate gold and silver money unduly,
unless by debasing the coins Nor is it
within tho power or the rightful power
Of congress by legislation to contract
the volume Of money as supplied by
these two metals This can be done
only by tho wrongful usurpntion Of
power to demonetize one or tho other Of
them.
The coming battle-tho battle of the
standard-in all probability will be one
of the most momcntous in our history.
That ultimately the people will rostoso
silver to its ancient place in our none
tary system there can DO no doubt, uu-
less we doubt tho intelligence and pa
triotism Of our people, unless VIC doubt
the perpotuity Of cur free institutions -

Tho Best Money.

We deny Oh at tho best ihoney is the
money of the greatest purchasing power,
If that were the case, then the greater
the purchasing power the more valu-
able would be the money, and the dol
lar which would buy three bushels of
wheat would bo better than the dollar
that would buy two bushels of wheat,
and so on ad infinitum. If this were the
best money, and, as your monetary
school would have us believe, il for the
best interests Of tho wholopeople, then
the tendency would be to have the
money get better and better and TIE
purchasing power Of the dollar get
larger and larger, because good money,
from your definition, lies in the diroc-
tion of greatest purchasing power We
deny thia; every honest American de-
mics it, every toilcr denies it; every man
who is willing to give value received
for what he gets denies it, aud only tho
solfishness Of tho men who have money
or who have contracts in the shape OF
bonds aud mortgages which call for
money and those living upon fixed in.
comes have ever maintained that al
increasing standard, like the law Of
1878 fastened upon this country, is good
