o be able to give the country free
oinagc, something to be desired, the
way to win is to win. United demo-
mcv, combined with populist and
rec silver republicans would be able
% do What it starts out to accom-
)lish. Freo:silper men who are not
democrats must insist if they be
wise, and they are, that democracy
must unite before it have the right
to claim for democracy what may be
brought about by a non-partisan
The fusing together Of
incongruous elements requires states
which it is feared the dem
ocratic party does not possess, as it
has never given evidence of, it. Com-
promise might Dc effected which in
the event of Bryan's election would
give him u cabinet in accordance
with him on the silver question and
opposod'on "everything else. Will
Mr.. Bryan be willing to accept such
cabinet? VIII he enter into such
an agreement to that end or will he
claim that to the yictors belong the
spoils and that the victory, il it be
achieved, is simply a democratic vic
tory? Is he patriot or a democrat?
These things must be taken into
consideration before fusion OF any
kind be considered by those who arc
not democrats but who wish. to sec
silver victorious. by itself the dem
ocratic party cannot win. 1t hasn't t
even Il remote chance OF winning.
Democracy is divided, and a mighty
effort is being made by the democrats
OF the north, cast and south to re.

out 1latfooted for Mckinley. The
New York Herald, copying the Suns
editorial, says:
These arc our sentiments, and
those Of every true, honest and lOya
American, whose word is as good as
his bond.
The Herald also says:
The wild JacObinS who have raidct
the Chicago convention have repu
dated the cardinal principles o
democracy. 1t is now patriotism
against silvcrism, the country against
popuism. On this vital issue true
democrats and loyal citizens can NJ
more hesitate than they did in 81.
The New York Staats Zcitung, tht
representative organ Of New YorI
Germans: refuses to accept Bryan
and the Chicago platform. it say
cditorially:
