rule not entirely his own and center

as evidenced by her late elections.
There is an impending crisis IN the

Sir Walter Besant has had the cour-

London itself. He does not even cilng

Sir Walter declares:
The six nations will be separate, yet

it's own development in its own way;
it will be impossible for them TO quar-

trade between themselves will be the
best in their own interests; their press
will b courteous, each to each; they
will be rivals only in art, science ana
literature. Above all. they Will form
a firm alliance. offensive and defensive.
with such a navy that all the world
united lin arms would be poweriess
against them. And, as an example Tor
all the world to see, there will be the
great federation of our race, an I'M

peaceful, yet ready to fight; tenacious
of old customs; dwelling connnualiy

THE DEMOCRATIC DOUBLE GAME.

The address Of the executive commit
tee of the National Democratic party,
containing those members of the Dem
ocratic party who attended the Chicago
convention for gold, sounds very fine as
a piece of literary work, but with the
average citizen it doesn't -.
1t is not a good answer to the address
of Governor Stone in New York City.
The Democratic convention in Chicago
was called by the regular organization
of the party; its delegates were elected
regularly, except those of Nebraska
and Michigan, who were let in and
their gold opponents turned out by the
silver majority in the convention.
The silver majority in the Chicago
convention listened respectfully to the
other side, but voted, without the rele-
CATION Of the parliamentary rule
threatened (the abrogauon of the two
thirds majority for a silver candidate
and a silver platform. The reason Mr..
Bynum and the other gold Democrats
were beaten was because they We're
not strong enough to cope with the
other side.
Party discipline has long ago ceased
to be an effective whip and we cannot
say today that Bynum and his crowd
have no right to form n new party or
to change their votes to any of the old
ones, or to quit voting entirely. But
we do say they have no political or
legal right whatever TO continue call
ing themselves the Democratic party
1t is true that they try to do so all
through their address. They hold that
the majority of the Chicago convention
sold the party out In that case it be-
fits the gold Democrats to leave their
party. They cannot sneak out of the
convention hall and call themselves the
Democratic party. any more than they
can seat a candidate for president
when he lis received less votes than
the other candidates. The Wing party
in the United States is dead 1t may
be possible that one old man could be
found today who still believes the
Wing party could rescue the govern
ment. but because of his thoughts
along this line the Wing party cannot

cd Il Wing. The Democratic party is
the regular organization of that name
in the United States. There is no such
party as THE National Democratic
party" There is in the first place no
room for il and In the second place the
courts will not allow that name TO be
printed on the ballots.
II is not necessary for Bynum and
his crowd to conceal their real motives
in formation Of this new party which
they claim 10 be SO old. Apparently
il is for the sake of perpetuating the
grand old principles of Democracy"
In reality il is because BynGm and his
ilk think the free silver Democrats will
go down in riot and the Cleveland
Democrats viii be restored 10 leader

the party will crumble To pieces; the
National Democratic party Will con-
