AN EAA FOR NORTH o.
The chairman of the State
Democratic Committee of South
Carolina, in calling his commit.
tee together, says:
"Recognizing as we must the
wide differences of opinion as to
the details Of party politics and
party management, yet fully
alive to the present emergency
upon the Democracy. we cannot
but realize that the party's pur-
pose and success can only be at
tanned by discipline and organi-
cation.
THE representatives of this
State should therefore go to the
national convention with a fixed
determination to meet their
brother Democrats in a spirit of
amity with a view to harmony.
United and in perfect accord,
we ought to be able TO continue
in control of the government.
With a determination to produce
harmony, we can gain much in
the direction of our desires as to
the application of Democratic
principles.
We can gain nothing except
the defeat of the Democratic par
ty by open declaration of our de-
termination to disorganize il we
cannot have our particular views
carried out. However we may
differ as to details with our
brother Democrats from other
sections of the Union, we all
know that the Democratic creed
and a Democratic control of the
government are far better for US
than anything we may expect
from our opponents"

FREE SILVER OR BUST.

Some citizens Of Morgan coun>
ty, Ala, who call themselves
Democrats, have very little claim
to be considered.
The speeches made on the res
olutions adopted at their recent
convention make the test of
Democracy devotion to a princi-
pie which is not to be found in
any platform of the party and
which none of the great Demo.
cratic statesmen ever advocated,
namely, the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver without regard
to it's parity with gold.
The convention refused tic in
dorse the Democratic platform
of 1892. That is not sufficiently
Democratic on the currency
question, and in place OF it a
money plank almost Identical
with that of the Populists was
adopted.
This convention in Morgan
county, Ala, should have sent
fraternal greetings to the MEM
bers of the illustrious Democratic
convention in Sumter county,
Tenn, who declared that Andrew
Jackson and Thomas Ell. Benton
were the originators of the press
ent movement for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1.

RAILWAY CONCESSION.


City of Mexico, Sept. 2S.-Frcdcrick
Bartlett Of Chicago left today for that
city. having secured most important
railway concessions: in fact. the largest
since that of the Mexican Central. The
charter covers 1000 kilometres. with the
main line and branches. and provides
for a standard gauge road. to run from
some point in the state of Chihuahua. on
the Mexican Central railway. westward
to Il point on the Sonora road. with
branches running north into one of the
richest mineral regions on the globe, and
southwark along the Pacific slope. thus
insuring the development of the north
western and western coast of the repub-
lie. The line will traverse an extensive
timber region and mining country, which
is now difficult of access. and abounds in
silver and gold properties and which
was recently favorably reported on by
an agent of the Rothschilds, who OK
plored the states of Sonora and Du-
range. The region is regarded as the
treasure house of Mexico and it is be-
lieved will add a new gold producing
district cqualing the most famous in the
world. as individual miners are now,
with the most primitive apparatus, TAX
ing out large quantities of metal. The
total extent of the road is greater than
the Mexican Ccntral's main line and is
the only great road the government has
been willing to give charter to with
Il subvcntion. which. on the main line,
amounts to $4,000 per mile. but the
necessity of the road from commercial
and strategical point of view and de-
STABILITY for opening up the north
western portion of the country and com
pieting the railway system was readily
