WHERE'S THE REsToRAT1oNo


We are looking for good returns
from the restored confidence that
has come to Democratic editors since
the last loan was aoated. People need
the restored confidence Some of
them need more than this. A clamor-
ing is beginning for restored wages:
another for restored" demand for
goods: another for restored buying
prices. But let us hope that that they
will eventuate with the ssrestored con-
fidence. ~ Farmers need ssrestored''
demand and prices, for they lost $780,
0OO,O 900 last year in capturing the mar
kets of the world. What they need
worse than anything else is a s:re-
stored home market. Springfield

'
Plank second Of the Republican
State platform, adopted at State con-
vention, July IL, 1894: The Republi-.
can party believes in the use of both
gold and silver as money, maintaining
the substantial parity of value Of every
dollar in circulation with that of every
other dollar. It believes in bimetal-
lism and that the restoration of silver
as ultimate money to the currency of
the world is absolutely necessary FOR
business prosperity, proper rates Of
wages and the welfare of the people.
Holding these views, we believe it
should be the policy of the United
States to do everything in its power to
promote the restoration of silver to
the worlds currency
This was the currency plank on
which the Republicans of Minnesota
were returned to power in 1894 The
same platform which endorsed the
craftsmanship and the administration
OF Nelson as governor, of Davis and
Washburn in the senate, and of
Fletcher, Kiefer, Tawney and Nc
Clearly in the house, declared for ssbi-
metallism and the restoration of sill
ver." The platform on which Tawney.
McCleary, Heatwole, Kiefer, Fletcher
Towne and Eddy ran for congress, the
platform on which every State official
went before the people, declared that
the Republican party sbelieves in BIZ
metallism and that the restoration of
silver as, ultimate money to the cur
rency of the world is absolutely neces-
sary for business prosperity, proper
rates of wages and the welfare of the
people" -.>@-.s=,- :.
Considering this pledge of doctrine,
is it not exceedingly wise and proper,
indeed, if not binding upon the Repub-
licans of this State to send to St. Louis
at the coming convention delegates
who represent these views? Is it not
a breach of faith to send gold-bug del
egates? And yet what silver supporter
is being pushed for a position? The
eminent politicians whose names are
being heralded over the State are for
the most part gold standard men.
Where are the silver men? What are
they doing? Why are none of them
mentioned? Surely the Republicans
of Minnesota are not going to send TO
St. Louis a gold-bug delegation, in the
face of the last State platform. Re-
ceiving 10000 plurality on that plat
form, we are not now going back on it,
It cannot be. The silver forces of the
party must be up and at work. No
backing out can be permitted now.
We cannot afford to stultify ourselves.
Silver must be represented and silver
delegates must be put forward. Gold
standard organs have repudiated the
platform, but the Republican party has
not, and Republican voters must see to
it that silver mon go to St. Louis.

MINNEAPOLIS business men have an
emphatic way of showing the council

simple way to point out the African in

1T is generally conceded throughout
the State that Mr.. George Thompson.

Mr.. Thompson is one of the most de-
voted and unseltish Republicans in the
State. The UNION predicts that Mr..
Thompson will be chosen by the unan-
imous vote of the convention.

A BOOMERANG.

: The Journal and Times while insist
ing that Mr.. Nelson would not make a
fight for Mr.. Clough, have persistently
endeavoring to make the defeat of Mr..
Clough if accomplished, appear also
to be a defeat of Mr.. Nelson. The
only charge they have made against
Mr.. Clough has been that he did not
support Mr.. Washburn and so Mime
apolis forsooth, had matter to settle
with the gentleman This being the
fact, the publication of Mr.. Nelson's
letter comes as a boomerang and if it
is followed by Mr.. Nelson personally
entering the fight Mr. Clough will be
renominated.- lerd7adria Post Ne,us.

authorized expression OF national republican

tested by the convention on this an

proceeded to the platform and pre-
scented the name of Gov. Morton.
When Mr.. Depew had concluded his
speech nominating Gov Morton, of
New York, the secretary resumed the
calling of the roll. There was no re-
