WE had a greenbacA party in this
country as long as the grecnback was
below par, but as soon las resumption
was effected and the greenback was
worth one dollar, the greenbacker
stopped talking greenbacks. A ma
iority of these who favor free silver do
so because they want debased or
cheap currency, and if they believed
free coinage would bring silver to par
with gold would have nothing to say in
it's favor.

Four years ago the democrats were
circulating Henry Georges single tax
and free trade book as campaign liter
allure. This year they have abandoned
that text book and are relying upon
free silver literature. Four years ago
these doctors promised a free trade
tariff would bring prosperity and now
they have abandoned that specific and
are promising that free silver will be a
panacea for all ills. Such doctors can
not be trusted except by people who
love to be fooled

THE REPORTS ARE NOT READY.
The Big Convention Adjourns to Await
Them


ST. LoUs, June 1.-THE great COM
mittee on resolutions, WHICH remained
in session until 8 o'clock this morning,
and the important committee on Gre
dentials were at work again at 10
o'clock this morning, the hour set for
the convention to meet.
The preamble and the several planks
of the platform agreed upon by the
subcommittee, will be adopted by the
full committee, but the indications
were that the report of this committee
on which the main interest centered
could not be submitted to the cOnven-
ton until afternoon.
This work that was going on behind
the scene in no way affected the at
tendance in the convention hall. The
clouds lowering over the city threaten
ed, but the crowds. bands, and other
clubs streamed to the hall and pushed
their way into the entrances and spread
themselves over the wilderness of seats.
The delegate seats in the pit had
been carefully ticketed since yesterday,
and STATS marked the location of the
delegations. This prevented much of
the confusion and disorder that was
manifested on the floor yesterday.
The delegates and alternates moved
to their places quietly and without
demonstration. The band in the gall
lery played a fusiIade of quicksteps,
gallops and popular airs as the conven-
ton Assem- bled.
The temporary chairman entered the
hall at 9:43 o'clock. He was privately
informed that the committee on resolu-
tions would not be ready to report until
this afternoon.
The question, when the hour for re-
opening the convention arrived this
morning, was, whether the nominal
tions would be forced through before
tomorrow night.
The Mckinley program was to get
this part of the work out of the way as
soon as possible, mainly because the
Reed flllibusters down here want delay,
and claim they can win if the nomina-
lions do not come before Saturday.
Outside the conviction that it is prac-
tically "cinch" for Mckinley and
Morton, the fact that the first session
of the convention had been held, had
not cleared up the situation any.
The Mckinley arrangements as to
the temporary organization had gone
through smoothly enough. The selee-
! ton of John M. Thurston of Nebraska
for permanent chairman by the COM
mittee on organization was the schedu-
led arrangement, but the question of
the monetary plank of the platform
was still unsettled when Temporary
Chairman Fairbanks wendell his way
down the main aisle and took hold OF
the gavel to open up the second days
proceedings.
The convention was called to order
and an adjournment taken to this after
noon.

The Financial Plank

82e course of the present democratic
administration has forced the money
sgaEs1 ION into undue prominence in this
ssGnyaign and aside from the fact that
aus likely to carry the promoters into
5kb8 republican party, it has caused a
ssseEa aealsot quibbling among platform
as55zgESe The republican party is for
zEaEN money and always has been, yet
jsbis gear it has seemed necessary to
saaRa1 the demands which are the result
.sB s48moeratic assembling, to define
gsfiEa1 the party means by being in favor
q sOnnd money; and the platform
sEBQsad5 today at the st. Louis conven-
e4Am dOes this in no uncertain terms.
gBsse has been no straddling or equiv
Hs23jOu. The meaning is plain and
xs5Iy understood and the party is to be
zsgmgratulated that it will not be thrown
szxen1sIe- defensive in this campaign.
Here IS the money plank:
The republican party is unreserv-
.zIIy Tor sound money. 1t caused the
xnanment40f the law providing for the
zsaaszgrp cfon of specie payment in 1879;
sssEsre then every dollar has been as
gDlRl as gold. We are unalterably op-
-pBse1 To every measure calculated to
sS8F3xS9> our currency or impair the
szEng6teOd. our country. We are, there
sEee, opposed to the free coinage of sill
vFsy except by international agreement
aSRh.the leading commercial nations of
n ggDmOte, and until such agreement
aEsa be obtained the existing gold
aR28ard must be preserved. All our
9aasss, and paper currency now in Cir
s5xssz ON must be maintained at parity
zs9lh gold and we favor all measures
.Ees5gNed to maintain inviolably the OBJ
7gaIhMs of the United States and all
xxlg money, whether coin or paper, at
%kse present standard, the standard of
sse xsOst enlightened nations of the
BRsaA >
This paper has repeatedly pointed
ssgzG that declaration in favor of sound
-nEaaey, every dollar of which is as good
al, every other dollar in purchasing
rpzaRs, contains all there is to be said
TnBlroR of sound money.
Ezs gold standard has existed in this
s..ssggzzUnent ever since its formation,
zzB8 al republican legislation touching
taw money has been upon that basis,
8nG q seems superfuous to declare in
sxxuBBtion that the party is in favor of
ae RB5sting gold standard. The party
MS clean record against the free
gESnags of silver because of the fact

N s0urse we do not intend that these
9svmaBe explanatory declarations are
ERzxr&nl or that they will injure the
gag9y, but simply point out that the
maaganess of the democratic party on
san Boney question has created sus-
VszSamss that must be met in this way to
aSs4saall the charge of insincerity if the
HHsnsp plank were plain proposition

THERE is no doubt about the hard
luck" of the present administration.
The turning down of Carlisle and Hoke
Smith and the certainty that the Chi
cago convention will be for silver en-
phasizes it, and it seems that the
" hard luck" is to extend to the indi-
vidual aspirations of other members of
the administration. Some time ago
Postmaster General Wilson, the gentle
man whose name was given to the tariff
bill which was repudiated by the Cor
man Brice combine in the Senate and
replaced by one only slightly better,
announced that he would try to get
back to the House from the Second
West Virginia district This didn't
worry the republicans even little bit,
they supposed that it settled the DEM
ocratic nomination for that district.
That was what Mr.. Wilson thought,
too. But it didn't. And the latest is
that the democrats of the district are
going to endorse populist for Con-
gress, on a free silver platform, and let
Mr.. Wilson go up Salt River with the
rest of the administration. According
to information received by the Con-
gressional campaign committee, it does
not matter what the denis and pops do
in that district, as Representative Day
toms denomination and election are
practically sure.
