the LAWYER. NJ Ready has been as regular as

g. County Convention last fall. To Tribune re-
porter he said yesterday:
II have come to the conclusion that cannot

~ think sound-money Democrats should call
another convention Of their numbers from every
State in the Union including the so-called silver
States and there determine the best course to
r,,rsua IN order 10 offset this revolutionary move
mont on the part Of sverites, Populists, Social
,..s and Anarchists If such convention should
dacids the wisest course TO be to vote directly
for William Mckinley, then so much the better
va should have the authority Of those repre-
sented and. in my judgment. would get great
,nanv more votes in that way from sound-mOney
Democrats than in any other way. While say
that don't like Mckinley or his platform, ex-
cent the sound-money plank. think there is far
less danger to the stability of Government
from him than there is from the silver men. The
silver men are revolutionists. their leaders are
owners Of silver mines. and are. unfortunately
occupying seats In the Senate Of the United
states. These men have silver to sell. and wish
20 sell II TO the American people at double its
market value and to collect their pay from the
wages Of workngmen and others, who will he

BRYAN SHOULD BE BEATEN.
report from Montreal quotes George Foster
Peabody late chairman Of the Shepardte Cen
era Committee. saying:
TO my mind the first and most important
duty Of every one who holds sincerely to the
Democratic faith OF jefferson. Tilden and Cleve-
land, not 10 mention Others is TO do whatever
will most surely bring about the overwhelming
defeat Of Bryan, Sewall and the POpulistic plat
form
AS 10 the accomplishment Of this end. we all
need light, and should. before concluding our
Judgment, confer with our fellows OF the same
faith in the East. and particularly in the Cen
trial West
NV observations In the West lead me TO feel
that the heat Of the campaign will be In illinois,
Iowa Indiana, Michigan, Missouri. West Viz
gnia Virginia and North Carolina. | believe
ha, with a properly conducted campaign or
sducaton all of these States will cast their
electoral votes for Mr.. Mckinley. who is, of
course the only candidate whom we can expect
10 elect in opposition TO Mr. Bryan. But THINK
that We may need TO run a third ticket in some
all OF those States to divide the Democratic
vote for we must remember that In these States
our Democratic brethren have not been taught
70 vote the Republican ticket, and when the
PARTISAN heat IS aroused run the risk or los
Ing far more of them TO the regular Democratic
ticket whose candidates for electors will be life
long Democrats Of known character than we
can possibly draw away from the Republican
electors
In my judgment the cause of honest money
will not he won unless have at the front such
champions as Carlisle Gray, Wilson. Villas and
many others who will find no suitable PLATFORM
which to make a positive effort for Mr. NC
Kinley Then there are Carl SchurZ, Mr. FAR
child Mr. Shepard and many others VINO also
hold sound currency positions as logically based
On the principle OF freedom from Government
Interference with trade and commerce or any
other business
My present judgment is that we should nave
IN some II not all of the States, Democratic
electors named TO support. say. j. sterling Nor
ton. Of Nebraska, or any other courageous Demo-
GRAFT on a new platform.
