A Vigorous Campaign.
tWhig & Courier. J

The Republican State committee
held a meeting at Augusta. Wednes-
day evening. for the purpose of dis
cussing plans for the coming cam
paign.
The political situation was discussed
in brief speeches in which bat one sen
tment prevailed, namely. the impor-
lance of perfecting a thorough organ
ization for campaign of education
among the people. The Republican
plurality in the State for governor in
the last presidential election was T.
COB and the general feeling was that
the margin would be quite as large
this year with proper effort. In the
State election two years ago the Re
publican majority was much larger
but the Democratic party did not Try
to bring out its Vote, the result being
that johnson only received about 80, 0o(
in the entire State.
The speaking campaign Will not oper
until sometime in August, hut in the
meantime the committee Will diStrih-
ute literature well calculated to in
form the people on the great questions
involved in this contest. There was d
spirit of earnest enthusiasm pervad-
ing the meeting that augers well foi
a vigorous campaign.

A Call TO Arms.
fBoSton TRANSCRIPT !


There Is the right ring to tho appeal
which General Sickles makes to his fell
io"-NeteranS of the war to rally to the
support of Mckinley in order that tho
country for which they took MP arms in
me sixties may he preserved from the
new danger threatening. General Sicklos
IS lifelong Democrat; but 1t would he H.

country and who has suffered for ii to

back upon his brilliant war record and

hearken to it they did to the sound of

ON the BRINK.
Assault on the Treasury.

The banks that have subscribed
twenty-five millions of gold to aid in
maintaining the treasury reserve have
by SO doing brought upon themselves
the undying hatred of both populists
and popocrats. The mine owners bu-
reau and the free silver generals are
aware that if another bond sale could
be brought about that it would afford
them just SO much more material for
tanning the flames of discomfort. And
the recent large Withdrawals undoubt-
not been for the agitation at Chicago
and now in progress at st. Louis.
Very likely spectators are taking adj
vantage of apprehension, but this they
could not do but for the apprehension
and but for the fact that the continued
deficit in the revenue renders the
treasury reserve assailable. All this
must be very gratifying to the free
silverites, and Senator Teller and his
allies in the Senate, who made this
sort of thing possible will naturally
feel jubilant. If they could bring that
reserve to point where the govern
ment would be compelled to stop gold
| payments, the wish lying nearest their
hearts would be accomplished for the
country would go to a silver basis.
N, H. e-;l OF
Louis. Thursday. resolved that
I'VE are unalterably opposed to the
| issue by the United States of inter
| est bearing bonds in time of peace,
! and we denounce as a blunder worse
| than crime the present treasury pol
| icy. concurred in by Republican
House. of plunging the country into
| debt by hundreds of millions in the
| vain attempt to maintain the gold
| standard by borrowing gold, and we
| demand the payment of all coin obli-
| cations of the United States. as provi-
ded by existing laws. in either gold or
silver coin. at the option of the gov
eminent. and not at the option of the
| creditor"
AS will be seen they openly avow a
| desire TO see the government N0aDIe 70
maintain the treasury reserves, upon
/ which depends the maintenance of the
| existing monetary standard. They
did their utmost by defeating in the
| Senate measures for revenue and by
attempting; to deprive the executive OF
the power to issue bonds for just this
| kind of an emergency. Some of theil
corruption fund may be behind this re-
cent run upon the reserve, although
this is likely to remain matter OF
conjecture. There is, however, abun-
dance of proof that depletion of tho
treasury suits their purpose and thai
their efforts are indirectly responsible
for it if not directly. This would be 6
short road to the Reputation which
they declare for in their political plat
forms, but they will find it impossible
for it is obstructed by every intcres
that seeks the maintenance of the ma
tons credit, the nations honor.

Mr.. Whitney Unjust.

The interview which William c.
Whitney has given out on the subject
of a second Democratic party organiza-
ton is not fair, it seems to us. His at
tempt to lay the responsibility for the
formation of sucha party and the conse-
quent division of the sound money
support upon the Republican party is
certainly weak one and we cannot
avoid the suspicion that it is put forth
as a shrcwd move in the political game
on hand. If Mr.. Whitney has decided
that it will be better politics for him
and other chieftains now out in the
cold to take active and open interest
in a sound money Democratic organiza
ton without imperilling the cause OF
sound money to too great an extent
and some politicians would take a bis
risk Of that kind-he naturally want:
