the delegates to the Chicago convention,
so that his statement must be considered.
His declarations come on the heels of
Senator Smiths expression that the
Chicago convention will no doubt reach
a position on the money issue that will
be acceptable to the extreme ends of
the Democratic party Senator Smith
speaks with some knowledge as the par
ticular apologist of the President and
the head of the New Jersey delegation,
which is almost soiidly for Cleveland.
He intimates that the Democracy will
do a grand straddle and split and the
leaders will see that the shoe with the
gold buckle comes down on the Eastern
States, and the silver buckle on the West
ern States. Senator DAILY, since his re-
turn, has gone further, and declares
that straddle will be dangerous that
the Democratic party must take a fixed
stand on the money issue. He talked
silver, with a silvery tongue, when he
came to attend the opening of the
supreme Court ons Tuesday, and the
Press' reported some of his Sentiments
during the week which has led the
Cicero Of the Hudson Democracy to go
1nto the question further, and has in
VOWED him in a controversy with the
Leading Democratic paper of the State.

rency question, in which he declares that
he stands upon the gold platform adopted
5y the Democratic State Convention at
Trenton. but at the same time shows
that he is te a 1arge extent convert to
silver. The loyalty Of tne Senator to the
platform is to be commended, just as
much as his new personal jearnings are
TO be deplored.
