HE political situation, as Iegards the
democracy, is as peculiar in Massachus-
etts as IN New York. The silverites Sc
cured possession of the hall in which the
state democratic convention was to ba
held secured possession of it the day
previously, and held it during the night
on the plea that the convention would be
packed on convention day by the state
central committee which was favorable to
gold standard. The owner Of the hall
tried to expel them but was unable to
do so. The delegates on the inside acted
on the instruction Ct George Fred VII
liams, who was elected as a gold delegate
to the Chicago convention, but who ex-
perlenced sudden change of heart be
fore gong TO Chicago.
The "lnsides" nominated him for GOV.
ernor. The state central committee with
a number of its outside delegates went TO
another hall, but the partisans of Wi.
liams outnumbered the gold men and
nominated Williams a second time. The
gold democrats then left and pus M n
state ticket OF their own. 1t was me of
the most mixed up affairs in the history
or politics. 1t is evident Williams vonld
have won IN any event and why he should
have counseled the revolutionary me,a.
dds is not clear.

THERE seems to be a disposition on
the part of many OF the sound money
democrats in this county to vote for Nc
kinney anu Hobart under the impression
this is necessary to beat Bryan and thus
defeat the m lchinations of the free silver

ed The nomination OF the National Demo
cratic party on platform which is genu-

the support OF everyone who believes in
these principles, and should receive 1t.
The purpose to defeat Bryan should not
be allowed to obscure the other,-the
necessity of preserving the party organI-
zatIon unsullied by any faint OF popr-
lism or subserviency To mine owners.

Areport has been issued from demo
cratic national headquarters that Chi
cago employers are coercing their
employees to take part in the republi
can demonstration Oct 9. This is a
serious matter if true and should be
made so for those engaged in the
abominable work. It's a serious mat
ter for those who formally make the
charge if it is untrue, because to man
ufacture and circulate a lie which re-
fleets upon the character of class is
as bad as to compel employees to take
part in a demonstration against their
will. The facts can be easily ascer-
tanned and should be made public SO
that punishment be administered to
the guilty ones. The matter should
not be permitted to rest on unsupport-
ed charges. Let an investigation
show where the truth lies

GENERAL BRAGG will no doubt have
large audiences wherever he speaks In
this county. There is no public speaker
more incisIve than he. He percives a
subject clearly in all its details, but in
his minds eye 1t appears in its entirety.
To this fact is due his directness and his
dealing only with essentials IN discusslng
a subject. His powers of analysis are
due to the completeness OF his grasp and
his constructive ability. General Bragg
is one of the great intellectual minds OF
the day. The clearness of his perceptions
has been used more IN the analytic treat
ment Of subject than in generalizing,
and for this reason he prefers talking to
writing. Except for the incisive quality
OF voice and the tone Of sarcasm which
gives added spice to his epigrammatic
sayings. the fash of the eye and the grim
| look of unalterable purpose, Bragg's
| speeches may be read with almost as
much pleasure as heard. This is due to
the fact that he speaks to the people anl
everything he says possesses the element
| of human interest.

SKwALI, the nominee for VICE president
on the silver democratic ticket writes
Louisville, Ky. ran that 1t Is true he has
a gold clause 10 his contracts, but says
he is forced to do so from custom, and he
fails to see why he should be criticised
for following the custom of his business.
OF course he would not be criticised II he
was only consistent. Why does he ad-
vocate silver while insisting upon gold?
IN his own business. III he and
his like would express pre-.
ference for silver the government would
be at no difficulty IN maintaining the
parity and more silver could be kept IN
circulation.

The reception which Mr. Bryan receiy.
ed at New Haven is disgrace to Yale
college. 1t Is singular that students
when IN large numbers discard every i'm
pulse of decency. The hoodlums, who
prevented Mr., Bryan from talking by
their college yells and the use OF brass
band are worse than anarchists, for the
reason they are supposed to be gifted
with intelligence. Such disgraceful pro.
ceedings are we'll calculated to help Mr..
Bryan in his campaign, as sober people
are not influenced favorably by exhibi.
tons of rowdyism.

WATSON keeps on kicking against Sew
alls obstinacy IN not getting off the sled.
He says, and truly, that Bryan cannot be
elected without the populist vote, but he
will not get that vote If Watson Will not
be allowed more elbow room secured by
means of hosting the Maine man. It
seems mighty hard thing to carry out
bargains when principle is sacrificed in
the trade

Col ii. [. WEED, of Oshkosh, the dem.
ocratic candidate for Attorney General,
delivered speech at Turner Opera House
on Monday night. He confined his at
tentlon mainly to an attempt to prove
that the Chicago platform is not so diff
ferent from former platforms on the fl
nanclal issues. Mr., Weed is a comparat-
lively Young man and is good lawyer
HE'S very popular wherever he is known,
because of his affabillity and high char
acter. MIR. Weed was in favor of free
silver before the Chicago convention was
held, so that the charge of inconsistency
will not lie against him.

The flow of gold to this country is due
to the immutable laws OF trade. The
figures of the Treasury department for
August, shows that the foreign balance
of trade in our favor for the month OF
August 1896 is about S34, 600, 0O0more than
it was tor the same month in 1895. A CON-
parison for the year up to Sept. l, 1896,
shows a gain of balance Of trade in our
favor over that of that 1895 for the same
period, of s1OO,OOO,O00.
A singular feature of this condition is
that the hard times are largely respons-
ible for this apparently favorable condi-
ton. The increase has has been greatly
due to reduced importations, though there
has been increased expectations. This
means economy in purchasing, as well as
decreased consumption of domestic pro-
ducts, a most sIgnifice 1T economic fact to
the student OF political economy.
