Tn. Political outlook.

The tide OF Populist sentiment
throughout the country is setting
strongly in favor OF the endorsement
OF Bryan and Scwall by the National
Convention OF that party which meets
in st. Louis on the 22nd. The Amer
lean 3imetallic Union has issued u
strong address to all the silver organ.
ization OF the country appealing to
their members to come to the support
OF the Chicago nominees and plat
form. II this union Of forces is ac-
complished at St. Louis, the success
OF the silver cause is assured and
William j. Bryan and Arthur Sewall
will be the next President and Vice
President Of the United States.
The only forces opposing this union
would then be the gold.standard Re-
publicaus, the gold standard Demo-
Gratis and the Prohibitionists. II the
gold Democrats should put a ticket
i'll the field, which now looks probable,
it would draw heavily from the sup
port Mckinley would naturally re.
ceive. The Prohibition ticket will
drow more support from Mckinley
than from Bryan, rs the cold water
party is recruited largely from the
Republican ranks.
Notwithstanding the detection of a
large number OF Democratic journals,
there is nothing in the present out
look disconragmG to the supporters
OF Bryan and Scwall. On the con-
trary, everything looks promising for
Il magnificent victory for the silver
standard bearers in November.
The fight is on and every friend OF
the white metal should place himself
under the banner of Bryan and Sewall
regardless Of his past political a0ili-
atoms.

serving a life sentence for Il brutal

An Omaha dispatch OF the ID says;
The World-Herald, Hon.W j. Bryan's
personal organ, of which he is the ed
itor, tonight says editorially under
the heading "Let the Heather Rage:
With the exception Of the New York
Journal, tho Mercury and the New
York News the Democratic press OF
New York bolts the Democratic ticket.
1t Is followed by various large and
small papers in the other towns of
New York and New England. Pos

political importance and significance.

without the aid or consent Of the

time a gold bug Democrat goes
to Mckinley in New York he pavos
the way for two silver Republicans to
come to Bryan i'll the West. Every
time a silver Democratic paper in
New York repudiates the Democratic
platform it renders more certain the
population OF the Republican gold
platform among the thousands OF Re-
publicans III the Middle and Western
States. New York gold bug papers
are practically iinpotent. Their
efforts to niurc silver in New York
makes votes Ia silver in the doubtful
States. liza New York gold bug
Democrat can abandon party lines to
injure silver then certainly Western
silver Republicans can leave the party
to help silver. 1t happens TINT we

rnE EAsrEnS poLrEns.

The Republican press Of the State
publish with a great flourish OF
trumpets u long list of Democratic
papers that have bolted the nominees
and platform OF the Chicago onven
ton. AS most OF these boilers hail
from the Eastern and Middle States,
the stronghold OF Mckinley and the
gold standard, their boiling
will have very little influence on the
result OF the election.
The strength Of the silver cause lies
west OF the Alleghanies and south Of
the Ohio. In these States the people
are thoroughly aroused and the few
boiling gold-trust papers will exert
but little influence on the masses.
The voters OF these States know that
McKinleyism and the single standard
are responsible for the present condi-
ton OF the country and that u change
in it's monetary system is the only eff
f~ective way to bring prosperity to the
people. Knowing this, they will reg
lister their will at the ballot-boX in
November, u%ninhuenced by the bolt
ers or the arguments Of the gold
trust.
While the Chicago platform and
candidates are obnoxious to the gold
standard men OF the East, they are i'll
harmony with the most patriotic
thought of the country. The money
lender of the East and the protection
plated-gold-standard Republicans Of
Nevada may not like the principles
enunciated III the platform and the
candidates placed upon it, but unset
fish, patriotic men everywhere who
place the prosperity and welfare of
their country above party success,
give their hearty adherence to these
principles and these candidates.
Such Il man is Judge Caldwell, who
says:
The wisdom of its action almost
amounts to inspiration. No better
men on n sounder platform have been
presented to the American people by
any party in II third OF century. Tho
Chicago convention, voicing the sen
timents OF the people, has rcpudiated
the action Of the Democratic Presi-
dent and joined issue with the gold
standard Republicans. The Chicago
convention is the first national con-
vention held by either of the great
political parties for Il quarter of Il
century which has not been dominat-
ed by Wall street influence and ideas.
If Mckinley is the Napoleon Of the
gold standard forces, Bryan is the
Wellington of the allied silver forces
and the historical parallel will be
complete, except that this modern
Napoleon after his Waterloo will go
to the head-waters of Salt River i'll
stead of ST. Helena.

y Crown of rhOrns.'
rnE NEVADA DEMOCRACY.

The nomination Of Bryan and Sc
wall on n silver platform by the Chi.
cago convention makes u reorganiza-
ton of the Nevada Democracy neces
sary. In the campaign OF 1892 a
large majority OF the party followed
the instructions OF tie National Com +.
mittec and supported the electoral
ticket OF the Silver party pledged to
Weaver and Field. Tho minority bolt
ed the meeting Of the State Central
Committee that refused to put n
Cleveland electoral ticket in the field
md nominated electors and u State
ticket This ticket was recognized
by the Republican Secretary of State
as the regular Democratic ticket and
given II place on the official ballot.
In 1894, both wings OF the party held
conventions and placed tickets in the
field. Again the Secretary Of State
recognized the boilers as the regular
Democratic party and placed their
nominees on the official ballot. Both
factions again held conventions this
year and elected contesting delega-
tions to the National convention. The
contest went before the National Com
mittee and tho regular delegation,
headed by Hon. II. 2. Heating, was
seated. The contest was renewed be-
fore the Committee on Credentials
and the right OF the Heating delega-
ton TO seats in the convention was
confirmed.
This decision of the National con-
vention makes the portion Of the party
that supported Weaver and Field the
regular party. AS this wing o: the
party was ignored by o. II. Grey
when Secretary Of State and it's or
ganization completely broken up in
nearly every county in the State,
steps should be taken to effect a re-
cancellations between the two wings
OF the party to the end that a thorough
reorganization Of the party on the
lines laid down in the Chicago plat
form may be effected.
Tho INDEPENDENT in common with
the most OF the Democrats OF the
State has been in the wilderness for
the last four years following strange
gods, but, as the light has now broken
on the political horizon where all
was once gloom and despair, it in
tends TO come out OF the wilderness
and walk in the good old Democratic
path once more.

serves similar punishment.
When will the powerful syndicates,
that demand the continued enslaye-
mont OF silver for their own gain learn
to read the handwriting on the wall.
Upto, and even after, the Republican
National Convention, they declined to
believe that the silver sentiment had
any strong following save in the So
called Silver States. The wave that
followed behind 1cllcr's speech of
withdrawal from the Republican
Party, gathering fresh strength from
every threat Of a millionaire banker.
and from every plausible appeal Of an
Administration gold.bug, forced the
gold leaders before the Democratic
National Conventions, to cOncedc that
the cry for silver had become one OF
tho popular fuds Of an unreasoning
