The FIrht for sound Moner.

It is evident that those who thought
the politicians OF all parties would be able
to bury the silver question out OF sight
until after the Presidential election, have
been mistaken The addition Of Tlllman
OF South Carolina, and other Democratic
free silver men has had the effect to en-
bolden the Republican silver sena
tore, and 10 spread enthusiasm among
the worshipers Of the white metal
throughout the country. Efforts are
now under way to control both OF the
great national parties In the interest Of
silver, though the methods proposed are
different In each. The plan In the Re-
publican party seems to be TO nominate
Mckinley and elect him, II posai bic, on
tho tariff lssue, keeping the silver ques
tlon out Of sight az much as possible
until after the election
II the above echeme Is adopted, the
Republicans viii attempt to dodge the
silver question In their platform, but It
Is still a question whether they will
succeed ia doing 90. The Democratic
free silver men deserve the credit OF
having inaugurated a bolder plan Of
operation. They propose to carry their
convention out and ont for free eilver
coinage, and ifthey do notsucceed In this.
say they will bolt and DIN the Populists
Similar threats have come from some
Republicans but the prospect Is that
that party will succeed In holding itself
together, 10 far as appearances 60, at
least.
The situation Is certainly a peculiar
one and It is said, the administration,
with the exception Of Mr. Cleveland,
feels apprehsnsive OF the issue There is
no doubt that the free silver craze
which swept through the South and
West two yea re- sso and was thought to
have bsen put down has now arisen
again with the might Of desperation and
threatens the Democratic as well as the
Republican party. Nc Cleveland. with

CRITICISES THE COURT.
Ketcham's Alta ck
ON Supreme Bench.

The Encouragement filed with the Governor
yesterday his annual report. In reviewing the
litigation In which the State has been interested
during the year. Mr.. Ketcham discussed at some
length the decisions OF the Supreme Court in the
apportionment litigation. He commends the de-
cison declaring the acts OF 1888 and 1895 invalid
and criticises the court with some severity on
the ground that IL refused TO apply its own
reason 20 the acts OF 1895. In this connection he
says: 1T would seem that this decision was
70 some extent a recession from the highest posi-
ton By the court in the Parker and Denny cases.
An alleged law that Is In conformation OF the
Constitution IS law. but a waste OF
paper. Ii confers no right. imposes no duties
and affords no protection. Notwithstanding the
high character o. tie court that rendered the
opinion and the high personnel OF the judges
composing that court. IL would seem that the
scope and force or that decision might be briefly
but fairly summarized as saying that the judicial
department OF government would refuse 10
comply with the duties imposed upon IL by the
Constitution. II IL had just reasonable cause
70 suppose that the executive department would
In proper case fail 10 perform its duty
imposed upon IL. that the legislative department
might not comply with the duties and obligations
imposed upon Il.

THE COUNTY ORGANIZATION.
Excellent Work of Chairman Young
and His Committee.

One OF the busiest men in town last night
was Archibald A. Young. chairman of the
Republican county committee. who. in the
campaign just passed. has shown himself
a master hand in organization. Mr. Young
was engaged in computing returns and
comparing them with his poll book, which
lad been so jealousy guarded during the
campaign. The comparison showed that
the poll was one Of the best ever taken in
Marion county, for in cases where the full
vote had been cast the total tailed ex-
actly with the total of votes shown by
the book and where there were big gains
over the poll book showing. it was seen
there was a large doubtful vote classified
in the precinct in question. Mr.. Young
has maintained that the plurality
in Marion county for Mckinley
would be from $500 upwards, and
while some of his friends thought he was
somewhat overconfident, the result justi-
fies his calculations. The county commit
tee has never worked more in harmony nor
with more enthusiasm than this year. Mr.
Young has been given excellent support by
the full county committee, and by his ex-
ecutive committee and with the men who
have to do with party management and
detail work in the precincts, as well as with
people generally. Mr.. Young has been de-
servedly popular. The business men who
have taken such keen interest in the cleo
ton. have had the utmost confidence in
the chairman and conduct of the compaign.
Il can't say too much of the support
given me by the committeeman" said Mr..
Young last night. when asked TO speak a
few words regarding the result. 1.-The work
has been thoroughly harmonious and the
committeeman have shown admirable en-
ergy and enthusiasm. We have kept close
tau on the sentiment in each precinct and
nearly every man in the county who was
sound-money literature and had arguments
put TO him by his neighbors. There was
never a moment in this county when the
result was in doubt The committee has
distributed a great quantity of literature
in the shape OF newspapers and pamphlets
for this campaign has veritably been one
of education.
You will remember that at the time the
free-silver craze reached its height in this
State, Republicans were convinced that
the people would have TO be educated or
else there was danger of the people flock
ing TO this free-silver heresy. The silver
sided. for IL was not considered formida-
bic enough TO refute- But the people were
willing 10 hear both sides OF the question,
and we felt confident OF the triumph of
sound money when we knew this.

publican organization of this county has
not had large sums ar Its command, al
