THURSDAY EVENING, AUG. 81, 1896

IF ANY bolter can forget his love for
gold and its possessors long enough TO
revert to democratic prospects three
months ago, he will remember that
then no democrat within the limits OF
the country had the faintest hope OF
the success OF his party, and none, there
fore. took any interest in the selection
of TIA Presidential candidate. The
prevalent belief among them then was
that Mr.. Cleveland had succeeded IN
breaking up the party, and that repub-
l;can success was assured, and with Il,
increased burdens upon the poor and
exemptions and other special favols to
the rich, and to the South, force bill,
with all its necessary horrors. But
when the democrats were then bowed
down with the complete loss of hope,
their leaders, by providential dispen-
sation of wisdom, adopted the free sill
yer idea, and as if by magic their fears
were dispelled, and now, instead OF be-
ing in the slough OF despond and as
those without hope, they are oheered
by a bright prospect of victory, while
the perturbation and alarm OF the re
publicans are everywhere apparent.

tanned Il fair portion Of spectators.
The delegates were enthusiastic and
freely applauded the speech of Alex.
Hamilton, of Petersburg, the temporary
chairman. Mr.. Hamilton spoke thirty
minutes, during which time he elo-
quently appealed to delegates to meet
the crisis that confronted the party in
the State and nation and preserve the
faith handed down by democratic faith
ers. He denounced the Chicago plat
form as totally wanting in democracy:
it was fraudulent from one end to the
other and communism in its worst sense
Mr.. Hamilton's reference to what
he termed the effort to damn Cleve
land" was greeted with prolong cheers
and similar applause met his state
ment that "few better or truer patriots
or stronger men than Grover Cleveland
have ever sat in the White House"

No RIGHT thinking American demo
crat ceases TO respect, or has any cause
to do so, fellow citizen who, having
been a democrat, changes his opinions
on political questions and adopts re-
publican principles and votes the re-
publican ticket. But it is needless to
remark that the same can not be said OF
those, who, while protesting to be dem
ocrats, and to be in favor of low tariff,
of an income tax, of the removal OF the
tax on State banks, and of all other
democratic measures, and to op-
pose force bill, high tariff, trusts,
combines and monopolies, and ell other
republican measures, still refuse to vote
the democratic ticket, and thereby help
10 elect that of the republican,.

MR.. COCHRAN, bolter, says the free
silver movement is a conspiracy of I'M
reconciled Southern people, who having
lost their slave property, now want
every body else to lose their property
Mr.. Reed, republican, while not SO
reckless, is more sarcastic. He says
f'The South, too, has o similar interest
in preserving the gold standard. But
they are busy down there just low as
sorting their rights and keeping down
the negro" The South is doing the
best che can to preserve white domi-
nancy within her own limits, and to pre-
serve free and equal institutions
throughout the limits of the entire
country, and to prevent special legisla-
ton for favored interests.

SENATOR SHERMAN, who certainly
ought to be good authority on such a
subject, says: 1.-THE only way in which
republican administration can cor
rect the evils of the past is by increasing
the revenue by a new tariff law, and
/ this, fear, is not practicable" There
po'is only one way to correct evils and
,ymbetter the existing condition, and that
-oue is not practicable by republican
administration. And yet the boilers
would entrust the government to such
an administration. But now, as always,
there are men and men.

supporting him was his supposed OPP
position to silver and his prediction
for gold, even the straw they clutched
to save themselves, has been ruthlessly
snatched away from them.

of time on their hands now to devote
to the work of studying and discussing
the currency question. Why, certainly
they have, for. unfortunately for them,
owing to the long prevailing high tariff,
now averaging forty-two per cent, and
the existing gold standard of value,
they have nothing else to do.
