The Democracy of the Twelfth dis
trict will have one more time of trial
and then their truly candidate for the
congressional race will be announced.
This time they will wait until after
the Chicago convention in order to
see whether he is to be fish, flesh or
good red herring. They have divided
the honors by sending to Chicago a
sound money Democrat who is as pot
ters clay in the hands of the silver
ties and resolute silverite. This
shows that they are ready to front
yellow by white with strong particu-
lar leanings to the white side of
things.

First blood belongs to John Altgeld.
He has knocked out Boies of Iowa,
solidified Illinois so that it will stand
at his back unit in Chicago, no mat
ter which way he determines to en-
ploy that vote and accepts the nomi-
nation for the gogernorship only as a
favor. There is nothing that he grab
bed for in the convention that he did
not get it, hands down, with the ex-
ception of Stone for his presidential
candidate, and he found that his army
record was too utterly too for him to
conjure with. Can Altgeld carry ILL
nois over the Republican head of
Private 10. Fifer?' This is the
question that the people will answer
in November. If Altgeld is able to
pocket 10 then he can have the state
and Chicago thrown in. 1t is his
meat.

The New York Democrats take the
American ground and favor neither
gold or silver recommendation. To this
complexion will all good patriots come
at last. This country needs both gold
and silver and there is not the least
reason in discriminating against eth
er. The New York platform, which
was framed by Hill, says:
Gold and silver-the money of the
constitution and of our fathers-each
ut parity with the other in purchas-
ing power, has been the platform of
principles proclaimed by every Ma
tional Democratic convention which
has thus adopted and reaffirmed in
each declaration of party faith for
century the wisdom of Thomas Jeffer-
son, who said: The monetary unit
must stand on both metals"
This declaration will meet the APP
probation of the country, but it will not
go down at Chicago. 1t is because this
declaration will not go down at Chica-
go that the National Democracy itself
will go down in the conflict that will
be waged for national government and
political supremacy this fall.

The pugilistic instinct is in Jim Cor
bett beyond all power of eradication.
His bout with Sharkey has only whet-
ted his appetite for the ring, and now
he filings all former declarations to the
winds and announces his readiness to
meet all corners. Sharkey thinks that
he has Corbett under his fist and will
rush on to grab the championship and
Jim's shekles. Sharkey will find it a
different matter to face Corbett for a
finish, and for four-round go Jim had
a chance to sample Sharkey's science,
and says he has none. For that final
appearance in the fistic ring which
lays out cold the last pugilist of his
race the humanitarianism and decency
of this generation prays with lpcreas.

The great northwest is fiourishing
like a Texas pecan tree by the rivers
of freshness. The reports from over
an immense area conclude that, with
out some unforeseen danger or accident
or unwonted atmosphere disturbance,
the crops of all kinds are going to be
as large as in any previous year for a
long period. This is encouraging, for
it points to great Republican victory
this fall. 1t has ever been thus, and
prosperity on the farms and abundant
corps always go hand in hand with
Republican victory. 1t is the Demo
cratic party that comes into power
and grows lean along with the years
of famine. Look out for big crops and
big Republican vote next November.

There was no mercy shown in the
Indiana convention to the sound
money men. The silverites had q
clear two-thirds majority and they us
ed it for all that it was worth. The
most rigid 16 to 1 plank that could be
framed went into the platform with a
whoop, Claude Mathews was strongly
urged upon the Chicago convention for
presidential nominee, and Turpie,

a nomination of either the president or

The two-thirds rule in the Chicago
convention gives the gold men the
long end of the lever, and it looks as
though it would be necessary to break
it in order for the silverites to do their
work. The silver men have a clear
majority of about two hundred and
fifty, If the states stick to the unit
rule instructions, but it is not at all
certain that this win be done. The
silver men of Wisconsin are in open
revolt against that rule and openly
declare that they win pay no atten-
ton to it, 1t is hardly probable that
men like TiIlman and Altgeld will
stand by the two-third rule, when by
discarding it they can control the con-
vention. With a clear majority in the
convention the silver men find their
hands tied. Will they consent to this
or will they cut their cords by abol
ishing the two-third rule? This is the
first question. This settled in the af-
firmative and a time hOnored custom
of the Democratic party thus ruth
lessly broken over, what will be the
result? VIII the gold standard men
consider this the objectionable sin
against party, and shake off the yell
low dust from their shoes, and if they
do this in what direction will they
depart? VIII they accept Republic
nHism with sound money, as of great
er price than Democracy with n de-
based currency, and support McKin-
ley, or will they put out separate
ticket, which there is not the ghost of
a chance of their electing? Wisdom
and consistency and adherence to
principle would demand that they en-
ter the camp of the sound money Re
publicans and make their calling and
election sure, but when did wisdom
and consistency and principle ever
dominate the councils of Democratic
Still, if free silver coin
age is the greatest curse that can
come upon this country, and the gold
standard Democrats claim that it is,
IS it not their plain and patriotic duty
to take the surest and the most di-
rect methods of averting this evil?
Can there be any more direct way
han to support the Republican hosts |
who have declared for sound money, |
md have put all their goods in that |
ship? 1t is so obviously the thing for
The hard money Democrats to do, |
hat it is a wonder that there is any |
over it, but it is certain |
hat it will not be done. If the sound |
money Democrats will only protest
against the free silver declarations of |
heir party in the national convention
and walk out the business will be |
lone. There will be thousands of |
hard money Democrats who in so |
plain case will support the Repub-
lean national ticket and insure the |
of some states for sound
money that are now doubtful. But if |
/ sound money candidate is put out
by the minority at Chicago then the
yotes of the sound money men will be
divided in the very states in which
hey are needed to defeat the silver
hosts. That the minority at Chicago
will consider this thing and act in
he light of it is not to be expected,
put it would be wisdom to do it.
