Mr.. Wilson claims to be one of the
few real, genuine Democrats in this
campaign, and the gold advocates take
the same credit to themselves. This
being true, the meeting on Saturday
should have been an old-time Demo
cratic love-feast. If it were one, how
ever, from any more such, good Lord
deliver us. The speaker ndiculed and
sneered at the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party for President, but there
was not word against the old enemy
Mckinley, the man against whom he
warned us few years ago as being
such dangerous person. The Demo-
cratic platform was held up as a thing
to be abhorred and rejected, but moth
ing was said against the great evil of
protection that we had been taught by
the same speaker was the greatest men
ace to American institutions and free
government. There was no kindly
word for our Democratic nominee for
Congress, who has for dozen years

Mr.. Wilson said he would follow the
right if he were the only human being
to do so. He cannot believe that the
great body of his sturdy, honest con-
stituents have gone astray. In his
heart of hearts he must know that the
ten thousand Democrats who once fol-
lowed him have not all departed from
the faith. If they are right, then he
is wrong

Loyalty stood by Mr.. Wilson. Our
State ticket was not mentioned, and
the men from every district of our
State who have been proud of Mr..
Wilson as Democrat and as West
Virginian were utterly ignored.
Think Of Democratic meeting with
Mr.. VIM. A. Chapline, the Republican
county chairman, leading the applause
from the highest seat in the synagogue,
with such Republicans as the Messrs.
Getzendanner, Higinbotham, Bracket,
Brown and others like them in the
amen corners, and the colored breth-
rem occupying the chief seats. Is it
any wonder that the meeting has left
bad taste in the mouths of Demo
Gratis and that the bitterness against
Mr.. Wilson has been intensified?
There are many Democrats who, in
censed at Mr.. Wilson's desertion OF
his party, in their condemnation of his
action do not hesitate to charge him
with corruption. We think no fair
minded person who heard his speech
at Charlestown could fail to give him
credit for being sincere in his convic-
tons. His earnestness must have dem
onstrated that to everyone. 1t is not
strange that he should think as he
does. A man is influenced by his as
sociates, either consciously or uncon-
sciously. Mr.. Wilson has been weaned
away from his people and he no long
er thinks as they think. For some
years now he has not rubbed up against
his old friends and neighbors in Jeffer-
son county and the second district to
any extent, and corn and wheat and
cattle and things in the country have
not given him much concern. He has
been associating so long with the rich
and the influential men of the great
cities that he sees things through the
same glasses they do. The polish and
the sickness of the city-bred men have
caused him to despise hayseed: Solo
mon was a wise man, wiser than any
that were before him or any that came
after him, yet when Solomon dwelt in
his palace in luxury in the great city
of Jerusalem he forgot the God of his
fathers and worshiped with the idola-
tors. And the Lord shortened his days.
Mr. Wilson said he would follow the
right if he were the only human being

coinage of silver except by interna-
tiOnal agreement, which we favor, and
until such agreement can be obtained
the existing gold standard should be
preserved. We favor the use of silver
as currency, but to the extent only that
its parity with gold can be maintained,
and we favor all measures designed to
maintain inviolate the money Of the
United States. whether coin or paper,
as the standard of the most enlightened
nations of the earth"
Senator Teller. the only representa-
tive of the committee of the free sill
Yer element, offered as substitutes sew
eral propositions providing for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
An animated though somewhat one
sided discussion followed, the Colorado
senator holding up the end alone. All
of the free coinage propositions We're
defeated by the uniform vote OF to 4.
The gold standard plank proposed by
Gov Merriam was then voted upon ana
adopted by the same vote, but with the
understanding that the action should,
for the time, be regarded as merely ten
tatiVe, and subject TO reconsideration
in case there should be a desire mani
tested to change the phraseOlogy in
any respect.
The first proposition submitted by
Senator Teller was as follows.
THE Republican party faVOrs the use
of both gold and silver as equal stand
ard money and pledges its power to Sc
cure the free, unrestricted and indie
pendent coinage OF gold and silver at
our minis at the ratio OF is parts of sill
yer to I Of gold"
When this was voted down Mr.. Tel
Ter offered the following, proposed by
Senator Cannon, and intended to COM
bine silver and protection.
Whereas, The basis Of the govern
ment policy of protection is to give con
stancy OF employment and high wages
to the tOilers, and upon this basis the
great men of the party have stood and
the party's victories have been achiev-
ed; and
Whereas, Since the single gold stand
ard and protection are irrecOnciHable,
it follows that party cannot reason
ably declare for both and attempt to
achieve the purpose OF DOth5 and IL the
Republican party shall devote itself to
the single gold standard, it VIII be led
to the financial policy which cOmmends
Americans to buy where they can buy
the cheapest and,
whereas. If the Republican party is
to continue as the advocate and expo
nent of protection to the American peo-
pie, it must logically oppose the single
gold standard policy.
Nov. therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Republican par
ty in national convention assem- bled,
holding to the great truth that it's
highest mission is to advance the in
terests of the toilers of the United
States hereby reaflirmS the doctrine of
protection to American industries and
resolves to use all its power to achieve
bimetal liSm. being the free. unreStrict-
ed and independent coinage of silver at
our minis as it was coined prior to
1878"
These resolutions having been dis
posed of by the vote of I to g. the Colo
RADIO senator then offered a proposition
for the coinage Of the American pro-
duct. In doing so he said the resolu-
ton was not his, that he offered it by
request He said he was not an advO-

The people appear to be in earnest at

have had abundant leisure for medita-
tion since 1892. The advocates of gold

cate of the policy embodied in the
proposition, but that it had been as
serted rhat the parry Will not accept
SILVER coinage restricted to the AmerA-
can product Hence he decided the
committee should pass upon it. As
Tor himself, he would only vote for 1t
IN lieu of absolute free coinage, which
had been rejected. This resolution
was WOrded as follows:
The Republican party pledges itself
to the free coinage Of all silver winch
may be produced in this country and
offered al the minis at the ratio Of 10
parts Of silver to 1 of gold"
This resolution was defeated to J.
The following resolution for equal
suffrage for women was presented Dy
Senator Teller
s"The Republican party favors such
constitutional amendment and such
legislation as viii accord to the women
of this country the equal right OF sur
frage-
Mr.. TeIler's vote was the only one
given for this proposition.
The final resolution adopted was as
THE Republican party is unreserved-
~ for sound money. 1t caused the en-
actment of the law providing for the
redemption OF specie payments IN 1919
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold. We are unalterably OPP
posed to every measure calculated 70
debase our currency or impair me cfed-
it of our country. We are therefore OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver eX-
cept by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations of the
world and until such agreement can be
obtained, we believe the existing gold
standard must be preserved. All our
silver and paper currency now in cir
culation must be maintained at a par
ity with gold and we favor all meas
ures designed to maintain lnyloIabIe
the obligations of the United States and
all our money whether coin or paper, at
the present standard. the standard of
most enlightened nations OF the
earth"
The changes made are not entirely
those of phraseolOgy. The expression
We favor the use of silver as curren-
cy, ETC." was eliminated in the last
draft and the form changed so as to
put the declaration of silver coinage in
a negative way. 1t also makes more
positive the declaration for the main
