SENATOR GoRMAN, good and true
democrat as he is, talked common sense
and square-toed democracy at the
Maryland democratic convention yes
terday, when he said that whatever
may happen to the platform at Chicago,
the party stands for more than one
idea; it is the party of the people, the
only hope of the country, and always
better than the party of Reed and Nc
Kinley." That is the way all good
democrats talk, and the friends of the
Southern democrat who doesn't talk
that way, may we'll be anxious about
his condition.

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE IL, 1896

THE New YORK Herald supports the
President in his reported intention OF
voting the republican ticket next fall,
and of throwing the whole weight OF the
administration in its favor, if that
ticket shall be for the gold standard,
and adds, that if the national demo-
cratic convention shall declare for free
silver, it will be the duty of the North
ern democrats to do as they did at "the
breaking out of the rebellion" and
prove themselves as "true Americans
and patriots as their predecessors did,
when in the dark days of the country's
peril they shouldered their muskets in
defense of the Union.n "The shot fired
at Sumter" it says, united democrats
and republicans throughout the North
in a common cause, obliterated party
lines and made loyalty to the nation
paramount to party fealty." "They
must" it says, "save the country from
the common enemy, the silverites, as it
was saved in 1S61.'G5." Many of the
wise and conservative men of the South
are opposed to free silver, but they are
human, and such talk as that referred
to is by no means we'll calculated to
make them persist in their advocacy OF
the gold standard and, besides, it is
perfectly apparent to all people with
sense enough to draw reasonable con-
illusions from patent premises, that the
present business depression in this
country cannot be improved until the
currency question be definitely settled,
and as the democratic party has always
been kinder to the South than the re-
publican, and as republican success is
suggestive of force bill. and as that
danger is worse than no currency at all,
it would be only natural if the people
of the South should support the nomi-
nee of the Chicago convention, even
should he favor the use of lead, let
alone OF silver money.

AS GOVERNOR O'FERRALL, few
years ago, was pronounced silverite,
his later declaration in favor OF
gold was only accounted for upon the
ground that gold is the favorite metal
of the President who, he had previous
" said, is always right. The Gov.
ernor's present opinion on the currency
question has not been expressed since
