The gold bug Democrats make mp in
cheek what they lacked in votes With
tho characteristic ~self-conceit Of the
twelfth juror, Who said the other eleven
iarors were fools because they did not
agree with him, these men are now
irving to make the real Democrats re-
treat nom the stand they have taken in
regard to free silver and come over to.
their way Of thinking,
1t would be we'll for these men, At whose
door can be laid the defeat Of the Demo
cratic ticket, to remember that the Dem
ooratic party has no intention Of consul
ting with its enemies as to the best course
for it to pursue.
The Democratic party made no mistake
when the Chicago convention declared
for free silver, on the contrary its firm
stand on the money question saved the
party from the disruption with which 1t
was threatened by the maladministration
of Cleveland and his crowd. Where
would the party have been now if the
Chicago convention had followed the
lines laid down by the Cleveland admin
istration Z How many Southern States
would have remained in the Democratic
column had Clevelandism controlled thu
convention How impossible it woulf
have been for the party to ever regain lt
lost prestige!
AS it was, Bryan was defeated, but ca
!, Democratic party was saved. Notwith
standing the defeat, it will be we'll t
bear in mind, that, although defeated
Bryan polled a popular vote larger ,
800. 600 than Cleveland. polled when
great landslide placed him in the pres
dental chair ne now occupies. In 9th
: words the Democratic party is strong
= in its defeat under Bryan ihan it was
y victory under Cleveland.
And yet there are members Of the %
{. tail party that fgsled out under the N
nomero Of National Democratic Party
who have the cheek 70 advise the %
Democratic party to drop free silver q
!, do as the gold Democrats have done
dance themselves out, in q corner OF Ma
IA Hanna's shadow.
Il rThe parting of the ways took pii
when the gold DemPcrats bolted the r
ular organization Of the Democr''
,or party. AS long as they remain ootside
the regular organization they are EMIT
to no more consideration than the Rep
j.. lican party is entitled to, and their
vice is worth no more.
The Democratic party has more to g
by adhering to the Chicago platform Il
it can possibly lose by the disaffection
the gold bug element.

A Daring Hold Up

Charleston. w. Va, Sept. 81.
4 daring hold up occurred on
the Short Line Railway between
Sowall and Cliff Top, eight miles
from this city, yesterday. Joseph
Thompson, who came from the
West about year ago, learned
that w. L. Wilson. bookkeeper
and paymaster Of the Longdale
Iron Company, at Cliff Top, was
going up the road in the after
noon to pay off the men. Wilson
had $1,000 with MIN and rode on
the engine.
When the train reached q
lonely spot in the mountains
Thompson, who had boarded the
train, held up all those on the
engine at the point Of two revol,
vers. He grabbed the money
from Wilson and jumped from
the engine, Wilson shot at
Thompson twice and missed him.
Thompson returned the fire,
shooting Wilson fatally. Thomp
son made good his escape and
Wilson is dying to night. A
posse is in pursuit and a lynch
ing is expected.
