THE CRISIS.

No thoughtful Democrat will deny
or disguise his anxiety over the crisis
which today brings to the Democratic
party. It's national convention will as
semble this morning in Chicago and
the wisest and most experienced politi-
clans are altogether at sea as to what
will be the outcome. One thing only
seems certain. The extreme silver
monemetallists have control of the
convention, and they exhibit a dispo-
sition to use their power unsparingly.
They are as insensible to argument as
to all pleas for party unity. The Democ-
racy has become as nothing to them.
Possessed by the singular intolerance
that is the characteristic feat
ure of those who yield them
selves to the hallucination that
an act of legislature can make
prices and keep them fixed at it's pleas
ure, they have discarded every precept
of Democracy and practically organ
lied new party of their own. Thus
far, the advance meetings and utter
Chicago have carried with them no
trait of Democracy. They bespeak a
new order of men, and an organization
that is willing to deride and trample
upon everything Democratic in pursuit
Of the single idea to which it has
dedicated its whole effort
Whether this is to be it's ultimate
attitude remains to be seen. Men
whose Democracy has borne the strain
of years of loyalty and willing service
are on the ground attempting to save
the party from threatened destruc-
ton. At this moment the outlook is
not bright. Extremes beget extremes.
II one set of men calling themselves
Democrats are bent upon oblitera ting
everything. except free silver from the
platform and record, then others
whose Democracy is beyond question
or reproach will refuse to permit this
proclamation. Moderate counsels on
both sides might have accomplished
much at Chicago. Up to this moment
every plea for moderation has been
fiouted openly. That it is a crisis in
the party's history, such as it has not
witnessed for generation, is plain be-
yond dispute. The eyes of Democrats
the nation over are fixed upon Chi
cago with an apprehension that grows
intense as the fateful moment draws
near. e ..s. eri5ra-

And that campaign was fought out
by the Republican party on the ground
that the Democratic candidates were
unfit for office; not because their cleo
ton would not be of the highest bene-
fit to the city, but that they ought to
be defeated Because they were alleged
to represent the better element" in
politics. Now that element. whose
high character was then offered as
something that should call down the
avenging lightnings of an outraged
electorate, is said to be the quality
that will induce these same men to
vote for Mr.. Mckinley and the plank
in his platform, which calls for every
thing that will promote temperance
and morality" This kind of a switch
must be very confusing to the average
voter. He would really like to know
what is to be the attitude of the Re-
publican press and managers toward
what they call the "better element
in politics.

pected or wished, because it's vote was
to be resigned deliberately to the Re-
publican party. The convention was
to be run for the South and West, and
New York would not be in 1t. If any
man wishes to form conclusion as
to what kind of politics this is, let
him take any political almanac, see
