THE editor of the Commcrcia1 seeks to justify his bolting record by the declaration that the editor Of the GRAPHIC bolted the last State Dem ocratic Convention in that that con Hention declared for free silver, 16 to 1, whereas the GRAPHIC editor has since that time advocated a con trary view. But the undeniable fact stands forth that the editor Of the GRAPHIC supported and poted foq. the ticket nominated by that State convention, and through out the campaign ne Jer raised his voice against it. In that conven- ton the editor of the GRAPHIC offered an amendment to the platform re- ported by the resolutions committee almost in the language of the National Democratic Convention, seeking, thereby, 10 establish g "parityo between the National and State platforms, but when that amendment was defeated the author of it accepted defeat as. conclusive, so far as the State is concerned. The fact of the business is, the edi- tor of the GRAPHIC has never bolted ticket put forth by his party National, State, city of county-and never intends to. Whenever the National Democratic Convention declares for free silver, 16 to l, then we will support it, and not before. The National Democratic Conven- tion is the only forum-the final court of authority and appeal authorized to determine the policy of the party on National issues and to determine party questions, and until it has decided the financial question the editor of the GRAPHIC is strictly within the party, All Democrats have right to differ be fore the National Convention has spoken, but it's final decrees are binding on all loyal Democrats.

DECLINED WITH THANKS.

The editor of the GRAPHIC has re ceived very urgent invitation from President A. J. Warner to beco,ae member Of the American Bimetallic Union, of Washington, D. O., and accompanied therewith is a request fer $1 as 8 membership fee It is probably the dollar con tribution for the propagation and dissemination Of free silver literature in the interest of the silver kings of the West that Presi- dent Warner wants, more than our name unon his unhalIowed lists But we must kindly request the President of the Silver Miners League 10 excuse Us from joining his union and contributing thereto
 We are not making any grataitous contributions to the free sfRer cause this year, and if the Silver Barons want the privilege of having D cents worth of their silver bull lion coined by the Government into dollar, they must pay their own freight Were we disposed to turn a financial somersauIt and come up out of the dust shouting for free silver, lG to or bust, we could join the Pine Bluff Free Silver Club "free gratis for nothing, and we could at least get our moneys worth. We have always been 3 beliey- CT in and patron of home meinstitutions and we take this method of inform ing President Warner that when ever the inclination strikes us to join the pale faces in the pale metal camp that we will affiliate and as sociate with home people, who are not governed by sordid or selfish interests, and who, though perhaps mistaken and misguided in iudg- ment, are at least honest and unself- ish in their views and opinions.

TIE Pine Bluff Commercial is al last working in line with Col. Dan Jones, The Commercial is against any railroad legislation and for a protective tariff.-Conway Log Cabtn.
 Come to think of it, the Log Cabin is right, The Commercial is one of the few protectionist newspapers per SC, as the editor of that paper was won't to express it, in the South. It opposed the Morrison tariff reform bill and the Mills bill, and has always stood out against the Southern idea of tariff for revenue only. Perhaps that ac- counts for the Commercials intense antipathy for John G. Carlisle, the foremost tariff reformer in the United States. And then, too, "a fellow feeling makes one wonder ous kind, Dan Jones is would be- bolter, and the Commercial has supported every bolter, city or county, in this county in the last twenty years. If Dan Jones should bolt, therefore, it is but the logic of events that he should have the support of the Commercial.

The majority of women riders wisely have stuck to skirts from the begin ming and probably will do so to the end.
 SNo, indeed. No bloomers in church and no bloomers anywhere else. Why should fair woman make herself unsightly in public when there is nothing to be gained? It is the testimony of nearly all women who ride in skirts that they are quite as ,free of motion and as unincum- bered in the old costume as in the new.

MAFFIT, of Missouri, who was nominated by his Congressional district in the late Missouri State Democratic Convention as one of the delegates from that district to the Chicago convention, but subsequent ly rejected by the Sedalia conven- tion because of his "sound money views, threatens to contest for 8 seat in the National Convention. The policy has heretofore been in all State Conventions to allow each Congressional district to select delegates to the National Conven- tion, and the delegates thus selected are ratified by the general conven- tion. But in MT Maffits case he was rejected by the State Conven- tion over the protests of the dele gates from his congressional district, and the bringing of his case before the National Convention will de termine the right of general con vention to override the action of the delegates from a Congressional District in that convention.

A few years ago leading newspa- pers commented considerably upon what they were pleased to term the deeadence of the American sport of base ball. But recent events have shown the.sporL to be as popular as ever, and instead ofinterest Tagging in the diamond, it appears to be in creasing. Last week the National League opened up the season of sport, and the telegraphic dispatches from all the big League cities report the largest attendance in the histo- ry of the organization In Chicago, New York, Cincinnati, Louisville and the rest of the League towns an attendance of from 10000 to l5, GOO spectators is reported for each game, which indicates that the present will be a very prosperous season. Base ball is purely an American sport and it stands today in the zenith of it's prosperity
