nc sound Money Forces.

The democrats held conventions in four
states Wednesday, and in three of them
they declared for sound money The states
that declared for sound money are Penn
sylvania, Michigan and Nebraska. Mis-
sissippi declared for silver monometallism.
1t was expected. of course, that Mississippi
would favor degraded currency and that
Pennsylvania and Nebraska would favor
a sound currency. The state that was in
doubt was Michigan. The silver mono
metanists have been insisting that they
would carry it beyond a doubt. They
were mistaken. The democrats who be-
lieve in honest money went to work and
elected delegates that put the state in
the list of sound money states
We are not at all surprised that sena-
tor Brice remarked, when he heard that
the democrats of Michigan had adopted a
sound money platform, that a sound money
platform would be adopted and sound
money candidates nominated at Chicago
Sound money democrats have been a lit
tie slow to realize that there is danger
that the silver monometallists will con
troll the Chicago convention because of
their extraordinary activity but they are
waking up to the danger, and from now
until all the states have chosen delegates
they will be watchful of sound money in
terests. They will not make as much noise
as those who want TO degrade the cur
rency, but they are not aiming to make a
noise, they are seeking practical results.
The result in Michigan is a pretty good
indication Of what the result will be in
other states which are regarded as doubt
