Another Convert.

John M. Wright, staunch Republican
and former resident of Silver City, in a
letter to the San Francisco Examiner of
the Sd inst, renowned allegiance to his
party and declared himself for Bryan and
Sewall. This action on the part of Mr..
Wright is something of a surprise to his
friends here, but it is none the less credi-
table to his judgment as man. The
case of John M. Wright is paralleled by
thousands of prominent Republicans in
the west and south. They have forsaken
their party because they know that its
precepts and tenets are antagonistic to
the sociological and industrial demands
of the hour. It is only the expectant
mercenary coward who will cling to the
issues he knows to be false. True, it
costs no little effort for a man to publicly
renounce his faith in party he has been
taught to love and has labored to main
tain, but when he discovers that the men
who shape its destiny are selfish, greedy
and devoid of principle, he must then
choose between his pride and his honor.
This very momentous question is now be-
ing seriously weighed by thousands of
honest Republicans throughout the Unit
ed States and the result will be that on
next November the greatest revolution in
the public sentiment of our vast voting
population will be recorded and the cause
of the people will be made champion over
the dictatorship of few men.-Silver

DISCOUNTED DEMOCRATIC GOLDBUCs.

Suppose the scattering handful of dis
gruntled Democratic goldbugs do carry
out their awful threat of nominating a
third ticket. What of it? AS Mr.. Bryan
remarked with inimitable terseness In his
wonderful open air speech at New York:
"We are not afraid. You will search the
pages of history in vain to find battle
ever won by an army of generals. They
have not private in their whole ranks"
As usual Mr.. Bryan left precious little
more to be said on the subject. Let
Chairman Jones and his silver lieutenants
proceed right along with the inspiring
and effective campaign of education
among the toiling, productive, thinking
millions, ever mindful of the fact that the
votes of 1000 of the plain people in Hi
nois are of infinitely more value to the
cause of silver than the support of all
the Whitneys and Bourke Cockrans and
even Hills in New York. Let the band
wagon of silver Democracy move mer-
rily along. Most of these sulky, rule or
ruin gentlemen will soon be emulating
the mad race of John Mitchell, of Wiscon-
sin, to overtake the mighty vehicle and
scramble in before it is everlastingly too
late. Let them severely alone.

PRESS COMMENT.
TranspOsitiOn of Parties.


The New York journal wisely remarks:
confidently upon the effscts of the tidal
wave which ran with undiminished force
through the elections of 1898, 1894 and
1895. Under any ordinary conditions
such run of popular favor would make
Republican success in the present cam
paign a foregone conclusion. But Mr..
Platt and his assistants at st. Louis sue
ceeded in achieving one of the most
astounding miracles in political history.
They repeated the extraordinary feat of
Laertes when he changed swords with
Hamlet in the scutfle and got his death
wound from his own poisoned point. Up
to the time of the st. Louis convention
the Democracy was hopeless because pub
lie opinion insisten on holding it re-
sponsibe for the fellies of the Cleveland
administration. 1t was as the anti-Cleve-
land party that the Republicans won
their victories of the last three years.
They had only to keep that advantage to
make success certain in the present con-
test. Mr.. Platt insisted on their throw
ing it away, and they did. They deliber-
ately picked up and adopted the Cleve-
land financial policy, which the people
loathed. The Republican party is now
the Cleveland party. The Cleveland
financial policy is absolutely it's sole stock
in trade, for the passage of tariff bill
through the senate is manifest and ad-
mitted impossibility. Hence the returns
of Republican victories in the past three
years, which were the signs of popular de-
testation of Clevelandism, are portents
of Republican defeat now.

The New York Times became so
ponderously fatiguing and 30 idiotically
and transparently one.sided in its slavish
subserviency to it's goldbug masters that
even the latter became Disguised. Hence
the gold standard mortgage on the delapi-
dated old bulk was foreclosed and its
management has been entrusted to a
Tennessee editor with instructions to
vary the monotony of long winded gold
standard editorials and bankers addresses
with occasional items of interest to the
plain people. Before the close of the
pending campaign it will be clearly dem
onstrated that the big metropolitan papers,
as well as presidential candidates, urgently
need something more than the selfish
and grudging support of the compare
lively few millionaires to achieve success.

ANOTHER grievous disappointment for
Albert Edward, Prince of Wales. Instead
Of giving notice of an intention to abdi-
cate as Queen of England and Empress of
India at an early day, his venerable and
illustrious mother has invited her "loyal
and affectionate subjects" to join in cele-
brating the Goth anniversary of her coro-
nation as queen on June 20, 1898, when
she will have outreigned any previous
monarch of England. Considering that
Wales will soon pass the 56th annual mile
post in life, Ne oan not resist the tempta-
ton respectfully to suggest to the stout

before their dwindling constituencies the
fact that the .Canucks decline to accep t

Sixteen to one simply means
the basis of valuation fixed by
law between gold and silver. six
teen ounces or grains of silver
equaling in value one ounce or
grain of gold.
Previous to 1873 silver was re-
ceived by the United States minis
and coined on the IL to basis
and the nation was prosperous.
During that year silver was de-
monetized by a bill which simply
dropped the words Silver Dol
lar from the coinage law. 1t
was some time after the bill was
signed before it was known that
it had killed the coinage of sill
YER. President Grant claimed
that he signed the measure with
out noticing the omission of the
Silver Dollar" Afterward Con-
gresham Bland introduced a
bill to remonetize silver but it
was vetoed by President Hayes.
Finally in 1890 the Sherman act
directing the government to pur-
chase 4.500,0U ounces per month
was passed. This act was re-
pealed in 1893 and silver again
demonetiZed. Previous to this
silver was also killed in India.
Now the friends of the white
metal simply ask that silver be
restored to its old place.
