The Dover Index, which has always
been staunch party organ, places
tho names OF the Chicago convention
nominees at the head Of its editorial
coiumns in last weeks issue. The
printing OF the ticket is accompanied
by the following editorial:
Since this journal was established 1t
has been the invariable custom to place
Mt the head Of this column, not Q part,
but the whole Of the Democratic ticket,
national, State and county. 1t will
not depart from that rule during the
present campaign. In doing SO, how
ever, ii does not in tho slightest degree
recede from any position which the
party in this State or this paper has
heretofore occupied upon questions OF
public policy. Conventions can nomi-
nate candidates for Office, and we con.
cede TO the majority the right TO do so
the people being the final arhiters OF
their conolusions--bu while platforms
express the sense Of the majority which
constitute conventions, neither plat
forms or resolutions can alter mems
conscienees, change their principles or
set at naught the tepets of their politi-
cal faith.
A press dispatch in the morning pa
peFs quotes q prominent politician OF
Philadelphia, in predicting that the
regular party organizations Of the city
and State will endorse the nominees
| of the Chicago convention. as say ing:
"Tbere is no question that the poten-
| tial leaders of the party favor the exist
| ing standard, but in case the regular
organization should bolt Tho ticket,
what would be the result? The silver
men would organize and be recognized
4 by the national COMMITTEES. or course
| this would avail nothing Just now. This
| Democratic party in it's organization
| insists upon State rights. The silver
| men could nominate set of electors
and cause some trouble, but four years
from now, when tho regulars should
send up delegates to the national con.
yention, they would find themselves
classed as contestants. So, potwiih.
standing the conviction OF many of ns
that the existing currency STANDARD
should be maintained, We propose Il
keep up the regular organization.
do not imngine, however, that men wht
believe 10 the gold standard will tax,
thoir coats off TO work for free silver.
These extracts serve to show th,
utter folly of the situation. Party pa
pers and party oranizations will sup
port the nominations of the Chicag'
convention merely as q matter of part!
regularity. But the support of th
party organs will be neutralized b,
their evident insincerity, and member
of party organizations will quietly re
pudiato tho nominations at the polls.
Such is the situation into which th
Democratic party Of the country ha
been led by the silver fanatics who nol
control its organization. A Populis
candidate for President; q commu
nistic platform: general state of dis
ruption and disgust that presages tn

Tho Trade Dollar Point. a Moral.

The weII.known. but now nearly ex.
tinct trade dollar turns up to give an
object lesson In free silver coinage. 1t
is furnished by tho following commu-
nication from "a Sailor" to the Phila-
delpbia Inquirer.

cover IL this was true, and there | was

The trade dollar contained more sill
Yer bullion and was therefore intrinsi-
cally worth more than the standard sill

cited this fact to prove that the gov

But recent events have proved that
the government hss gone to the limit

government to longer keep the standard

7 The Popuiist National Convention at
ST. Louis adjourned, Saturday : after
noon. after nominating William j.
Bryan for President Ex- Congressman
Watson of Georgia had already been
nominated for Vice President, the con-
vsntion thus putting the cart before
the horse,' in order to show that While
ii was willing to accept Bryan, 1t did
not propose to give countenance to
Sewall, the railroad director and presi-
dent of national bank. These honor
able and useful business occupations
are crimes, in the eyes of Populists,
and they utterly refused to gave their
approval and support TO one engaged in
either of them.
Mr. Bryan Is now the Populiet can
didate for President of tho United
States, in full faith and fact. He was
practically this upon bis nomination at
Chicago, for the body that selected
him was more gathering of Popuiisis
than of Democrats, although 1t was
called a Democratic National Conyen-
tion. Mr. Bryan, il is stated, has not
yet determined what to do with his
second nomination, because he feels a
delicacy about accepting it when his
running mate on the other Populist
ticket, Mr. Sewall, was rejected. How
eyer, as be is in full political sympathy
with those who gave him his second
nomination, and hesitates only on &C.
count of a technicality,it is likely that
some means will be taken to siifo bis
personal scruples and open the way
to his acceptance.
This action on tie part of Mr.. Bryan
will only servo to make his nomination
more repugnapt TO honest Democrats.
1t also enhances the necessity FOR an
organization Of the sound money Dem.
ocrats Of the country. At present. the
latter have no political abiding place
in the pending campaign. They arc
repelled from Bryan by his Populistit
alliances, and cannot surrender them
selvs to Mckinieyism and protection.
Their only resort is in a national or
ganization of Democrats that will re
suit in ticket and platform worth,

value had fuctuated more than 10 per

But deprecated silver was not the
full extent of Chile's experience with
cheap money. From silver basis the
country passed in 1878 to system of
inconyertibie paper the value of which
had fallen by 1894 to about 25 per cent
Of the value OF the original currency ;
while that Of the silver peso had fallen
to about 30 per cent.

The Popuiists III st. Louis

Tho aggregation OF political crsnks
and wild theorists recently assembled at
st. Louis under the guise of national
convention of the Peoples party, is
developing its asinine qualities to a
very large degree Yesterday the con-
yention nominated candidate for Vice
President before naming man for the
head of the ticket,
1t is fact suggestive to all honest
Democrats, that the controlling idea in
this remarkable gathering of political
cranks. is whether they should, or
should not, endorse the nomination Of
Bryan for President, made by the re-
cent, so-called Democratic National
Convention at Chicago. II lie TO the
credit of the Populists assembled at
ST. Louis that many of them repudiate
the suggestion to endorse Bryan, and
insist upon having a straight nomina-
tion Of their own.
This, however, but emphasizes the
folly Of tho Chicago convention in de-
parting SO far from true Democratic
principles rs to nominate ranting
Populist as its candidate for President,
and to formulate platform repugnant
to every Democrat who derives his po-
litical inspiration from the history and
traditions Of the party.
1t would be deserved rebule to the
men who SO thoroughly misrepresented
true Democracy at Chicago, and guided
their proceedings by the desire to find
favor with the Pnpulists now In session
at st. Louis, should the latter fatty
repIdiate them and their works, and
leave them fiounderiug in the depths
Of their folly.

The Bergen County IN. j.. Demo-
crat, edited by ex-senator Winton, re-
pudiates the Chicago ticket without
reserve, saying: "Any Democrat is
welcome to support the platform and
the candidates of the PopuJists who
captured the Chicago convention if he
wants to. He has right TO his opin-
ion, for with ii great many men there
is an honest difference over this mat
ter. But we decline to follow the lead
Of Altgeld, Tillman or Bryan. They
are not Democrats; they do not repre-
sent in any particular Democratic ideas
or Democratic sentiment, and we will
have pope of them. -

Referring to the election of delegates
to tho Constitutional Convention, the
Delaware Democrat of Georgetown
says:
1t is to be hoped that the part les
may yet got together and form ticket
upon which all may unite. that we may
be saved heated conflict for the
selection Of delegates to form par-
tisan convention that will be controlled
by the needs of party instead of being
formed in the interest of the whole
people.
We believe there would be no trouble
in the parties getting together were it
not for the partisan opposition of a
few Republicans OF the Higgins Bach
stripe in New Castle county. If tho
Republican voters would reject the
manipulations of these false leaders
and follow the counsel of Republicans
like John PiIling and Edward G. Brad
ford, a non n-pHrtisan convention could
speedily be assured.

Then and Row.

Four years ago. the Democratic
people Of the country brushed aside
the politicians and elected national
convention which nominated Grover
Cleveland for President, upon sound
Democratic platform. The result was
brilliant campaign, ending in a
sweeping Democratic victory.
This year, sehoming Democratic
politicians, under the lead of the Sena-
tcFinl clique Of tariff reform dodgers,
by their secret manipulations and the
powerful aid of the silver interests,
succeeded in obtaining control of the
Democratic National Convention. The
result was the nomination of a rRnting
Populist for President, upon platform
which no honest, consistent Democrat
can endorse. The further result will
be overwhelming defeat in November.
This goes to show that the people can
manage political campaign much
better than tho politicians. 1t is a
matter OF regret that the Democratic
people Of the country did not manage
this years preliminary campaign, as
they did four years ago. The poll
ticiaps are failures.

Here is a solid and weighty argu-

forth by the New York Times; There
are many Democratic speakers who
will do most effective work for sound
money in the campaign if they can
speak for platform and candidate.
They cannot make Mckinley speeches,
and they could get no audiences from
their own party if they would. This
willing and efficient army of educa-
tional workers will be silent if no
sound money Democrat is put in the
field,o
