A Wnnton Sacrifice.

All can see now the disastrous effect pro-
duccd upon Democratic efforts for sound
money by Mr. CLEvELAND's shameful re-
fusal to stamp out the Cuckoo movement
to nominate him for third term. The
Democrats Of Virginia, after seeing his
nomination urged openly by two high Off
GERS Of his own official household, and
numerous other Cuckoos, men and news
papers. have refused to endure Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS silence with further silence on their
own part, and have condemned the third term
by formal resolution. As the Forty-fourth
Congress condemned it, when its shadow
bore the name of GRANT, the Virginia Dem
ocrats, in State Convention, say:
at tho unwritten OF this republic established
by the custom and usage OF one hundred years. and
sanctioned the example of tho greatest and wisest
OF those who have founded and maintained our Gov.
erninent. that man should be eligible for third
term OF the Presidential ONCE"
1t is lamentable and objectionable fact
that the Democratic party should have been
led into situation in which 1t is forced to
defend itself against the charge that it COW
ers plot to overthrow this great republi-
can rule. At the recurrence Of crisis de
manding all its resources to meet its accus-
TONED enemy, III mas TO ltS ClSuay tnaV us
house is on fire, and part Of its strength
must be used to preserve itself But, un-
fortunately, the point deserving Of special
attention is that the State which has emitted
this patriotic anti-third-term declaration is
in the hands OF Democrats devoted to the
cause of free silver coinage.
Democratic State Conventions favoring
the gold standard have, very shortsightedly,
preferred, or thought it harmless, to record
endorsement" of the Administration,
leaving to silver Democrats the striking
task OF defending the Democracys very
citadel against the unholy ambition Of the
Administrations head.
Mr.. CLEVELAND has done for the Demo
cratic gold and silver factions substantially
what he has done for the Republican and
Democratic parties. Since he has been in
che White House he has been steadily hand
ing over to the Republicans the honorable
and advantageous function OF protecting the
national flag and sentiment. In the same
way he has given to the silver faction of his
party the prestige and dignity Of appearing
before the people Of the United States as
the Democracy's Old Guard.
And all for the idle tickling Of CLEvE-
LANDS vanity!

AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAM %, Ie9U'
TO the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large. correspond
ing to the two United States senators, were
nominated in State convention, and the re-
naming electors corresponding to the mem
bers of the United States House of Represen-
tatives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district cOnventic"s.
The passage Of the Australia Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law
all Conventions are portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that can
didates to be voted for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nomina-
ton by Convention representing no less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence all
the candidates Of party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.
