TRE"TOILSOMEMAJORITY.''
Their Monstrous Lot Considered at

annual meeting here last evening. The
attendance was the largest at any meet

Feputa ton. President F. J. Kingsbury,

his paper to the changes in the last

wages are higher in the United States
than elsewhere is because of the pro
tective tariff. That was while they
were favoring the coinage of silver.
This year having dropped silver and
taken up the standard of gold, they
have also found it necessary to drop
the tariff theory in regard to wages so
as to make some sort Of a showing in
the way of argument.
1t is almost the invariable rule that
one error, one sin, one crime, leads to
another and this case Of the gold
standard people seems to be no excep-
ton. Having sacrificed their princt-
pies on the money question at the be-
hest Of Wall street, they have been
compelled to sacrifice their tariff doc
trine by the exigencies Of the situa-
ton.

way. It would not be surprising to see
the gold party managers endorse south
ern election methods if it should be-
come apparent that by so doing there
would be a possibility Of winning sup
port for the gold ticket.
The convention which met in IN
dianapols this week was no less in
consistent. 1t declared for tariff re-
form in the face Of the fact that the
party which it pretended to represent
framed and passed the tariff law which
is now on the statute books. The coun-
try placed the Democratic party in
complete control Of the government in
answer to its desire to reform the tar
If laws. Why didn't it reform them
in a way that would at least be salts
factory to itself?
The gold standard element of the
country is INDUCING in an immense
amount OF lodging and equivocation
IN an effort to make a case.

THE POLITICAL CHARMED
HOUSE.

The Atlanta Constitution says some
surprisingly bitter things about the
Democrats who gathered at Indianapo-
lis this week. We reproduce its edi-
torial to show how Democrats can
speak Of other Democrats when they
begin to differ on matters OF principle:
THE POLITICAL CHARMED HOUSE.
In Indianapolis, today, there will be
enacted remarkable spectacle. There
will be a convention of men who for
merly pretended to be Democrats. and
the sole aim and object of their meet
in the election Of the candidate who
represents Hanna and the gold synd1-
cate.
It was natural that such men should
stand in need OF leaders, and they
searched the country over without find
ing any. They went about Offering
large rewards for leaders, but at last
were compelled to knock at the door Of
the political charne1 house. Entering
they found in its deepest crypt the re-
mains of one Bynun- He had been re-
pudiated and buried by his own party.
He was stiff and cold, but, neverthe
less, the Hanna gOldcrats shouldered
the cadaver and set it up at Indianapo-
lis TO do duty as one Of the leaders.
This CHASTITY proceeding seemed to
commend itself so heartily to the
they proceeded to ransack the political
charnel house, and so successful have
they been that their convention today
will present to the gaze of the public
the most remarkable exhibition Of po-
htical ''stiffs'' the country has ever
seen. In fact, 1t will be the only genu-
inc collection Of American pummies
that has ever been brought together
under one tent.
There is old man Bragg of Wisconsin,
who f1ourished until the beginning of
the dynasty of ParesiS II. And there
is old man Simon Bolivar Buckner, who
passed away when he surrendered Fort
Donelson to General Grant, in the face
Of the fact that the federal commander
had so despised his forces that the Con-
federate army could have marched out
unmolested, as Forrest did. This was
his military burial. His political burial
took place in Kentucky this year, when
the Democracy of the state repudiated
him.
And then there is old man Breckin-
ridge, of whom, in Justice, 1t must be
said that he was mis- own eXecutioner

deep, morally, that he could only have

worthy of the attention of those who
are interested in the examin alton of
nummies. The men who make up the
body of the conven ton have no political
influence at home, and their leaders
have been consigned to the political
tomb for so many years that their reap
pearance now is calculated to attract

fty that finds satisfaction in examining
