A few days ago there was a meeting of foreign bankers and their representa- tives at J. Pierpont Morgan's office in New York to devise means to prevent the export of gold from this country. They adopted resolution not to export any more gold until after the election" and MT. J. Pierpont Morgan said "a bond issue before the election would be mex pedent." So that we need not expect any more bond issues or heavy and con tinuous raids on the treasury, if these men can prevent them, until after the election" Plainly the country owes this temporary exemption from the ravages of the money mongers. not to any for bearance or patriotism of these gentry, but to the formidable proportions the movement for free silver coinage has as sumed. But for the fear of their effects on the election we should have one or more issues of bonds before November, and still a treasury without gold. The people want to stop this game perma- nently, not merely for a season; and this they will accomplish only by electing a democratic president and congress next fall

WILL VOTE FOR A FREE COINAGE
 SENATOR.

The nominee of the democratic caucus
 for United States senator will be a man
 in favor of the free and unrestricted
 coinage of both gold and silver. a man who stands squarely upon both the state and national democratic platforms. Ev- cry candidate for the legislature on the democratic ticket in Jefferson county,
 both for the senate and the lower house,
 will go into that caucus, abide by it's re- suit and vote for and help elect the eau GUS nominee.
 The candidates of the opposition to the
 democracy are running upon two plat forms, one declaring for the maintenance
 of the single gold standard and the other
 platform declaring for both gold and sil-
 yer. Should anyone of the fusion or CO.,
 operative ticket be elected to the legisla-
 ture, he would be voted for and elected upon both platforms and would go into the opposition caucus and that caucus nominee might stand upon one platform or the other, might be a believer in the single gold standard and in accord with the republican platform, or he might be a believer in the populist platform.
 He, therefore, who puts the free coin age of both gold and silver above party should cast his vote for every one of the democratic nominees for the legislature Cunningham, Altman. Brown, Greene, Harkins, Lipscomb and Ovens-whose votes will contribute to the election of none other than free coinage democrat | to the senate of the United States. No loyal party man will fail to vote for each and every one of the party's nominees.

 Can there be more than two great par ties in a government like ours? The questions arising in our legislation have not three sides to them Can, therefore, the populist party perpetuate itself and become great without destroying one of the older parties? Which one of the old parties are the populist leaders after?
 If it is possible for both the democrat ic and pepulist parties to live and four ish, is separate nomination for vice president necessary to preserve the new party organization? Is it not anomalous to have two?
 Are the privates in the populist army as anxious about this matter as the off, ficers and leaders are? Is not the main anxiety about silver?

Are not silver men of republican antecedents as likely to em- brace the new faith within democratic as within populist lnes?"

In his speeches in Alabama Governor Atkinson of Georgia took the position that men who went into the democratic primaries owe their votes in November to the nominees of the national demo- cratic convention. He maintains that the sound money men who are now threaten ing to vote for Mckinley or an independ- ent ticket have no right to do it. Good morals demands of them to deliver their votes already pledged by participancy in the primary to the party In November.

The refusal of General Weaver to speak for or inay manner lend his aid to the fusion ticket in Alabama after being sent here by the chairman of the national populite committee for that purpose is enough to open the eyes of true populites everywhere to the fact that in support ing Goodwin they are supporting Me- Kinleyism and goldbugism. If the action of General Weaver is not enough to con vince them they would not see the error of their way though one risen from the dead should point 1t out to them.
