The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-06-07

We are not surprised at the result Of
yesterdays primaries. Il has been admit
ted for weeks that the sentiment for
sound money had a good effect, but it
was not sufficient 10 stem the tide that
was running in the other direction. The
silverites had control OF the local party
machinery and the offices in most Of the
counties and the local politicians got
the idea that silver was going to win.
and they made haste TO put themselves
on what seemed 10 be the winning side.
Under the circumstances IL is not re-
markab,e that silver carried the day.
Sound money made a good showing
in the southern part Of the state, espe-
cially in the Eleventh district This
is partly due to the strong sound
money stand taken by the Morning
News. the Valdosta Times, and other
sound money papers which circulate in
that part of the state, but more than all.
probably. 10 the confidence reposed in the
craftsmanship OF Hon. Henry G. Turner.
Mr.. Turner made no speeches in mis- dis
trict, and yet the opposition to his re-
nomination was hardly worth speaking
Of This shows what could have been
done in other parts of the state by men
Of Mr.. Turner'S stamp. He has always
been a consistent sound money man.
The return give very little indication
Of Mr.. duBignon's strength. Not half the
counties acted on the senatorial ques-
ton, and most of those that did act were
conceded to Mr.. Crisp.
It is a source of profound regret that
Georgia has placed herself in the list of
silver states. 1t would have been of i'm
mense benefit to her if she had put the
stamp of her disapproval upon the scheme
to change our sound money into a de-
preciated and unstable currency.

Emorts to Defeat McKinIer.

It is very doubtful if the efforts TO or
ganize' the st. Louis convention, as out
lined by Col. Perry Heath in our dis
patches yesterday. has any chance for
success. No doubt Mr.. Platt is ready to
adopt any plan to accomplish McKinley's
defeat but the one that Mr.. Heath thinks
is to be tried does not promise to be sue
breaking up the convention than it would
in defeating Mckinley.
If Mckinley is defeated at all, 1t must
be by convincing a majority of the dele
gates that it would be unwise to nomi-
nate him. Efforts in that direction are
not wanting. All the sound money papers
in the country, except those republican
papers which are supporting him, are
almost daily calling attention to his
record on the silver question. That record
is not at all satisfactory to those who are
against free silver coinage. He has not
only written and spoken in favor of the
free use of silver, but he has voted for
much of the silver legislation with which
the country has been afflicted.
While it is true that he may have chang
ed his attitude on the silver question, as
his friends say he has, there is a wide
spread distrust of him. So great is this
distrust that the statement is being made
in prominent newspapers that there are
rumors that he is holding out a friendly
hand to the silverites, and these rumors
h.
that such of his supporters as ]. P. Nor
gan, the banker, and Whitelaw Reid, the
Tribune editor, are asserting that on the
money question he is as sound as Cleve-
land or Carlisle. For instance, the New
York Sun published in it's Fridays issue
the following:
1--WE have received the information
or substantially while Hanna and Kohl
saat have been nOisily assuring us that
the Ohio candidate was sound on the gold
question, Mckinley himself has been writ
ing to silver men, assuring them of his
sympathy for silver. While Hanna and
Kohlsaat have been talking, and protest
ing that Mckinley couldn't talk, Nc
Kinley has been writing
Although it has not been proved to US
that such is the fact, yet the information
or not it is true. Is it true?'
The Sun would not have published the
foregoing if it had not had good reasons
for doing so. The information it has
that Mckinley is playing a double part
may not be true 1t probably isn't true
that he has been writing to silver men
expressing sympathy for silver 1t would
be a great piece of folly for him to do
such a thing. He is shrewd enough to
know that his letters would likely be-
come public. That alone is almost con-
vincing that he has not written anything
to silver men that commits him in the
slightest degree to silver.
The reports that he has written such
letters, however, shows that there is a
lack of confidence in him. The sound
money men know he has never been out
spoken for sound money, and he has
been strongly in favor of silver Whether
or not he has become converted to sound
money they do not know, and he refuses
to enughten them. 1t is but natural.
therefore, that they should be hostile to
him and should use every means in their
power to prevent him from being nomi-
mated
