10 SAY that the various republican
congressional conventions thus far held
in this state show remarkable train
OF Inconsistencies, is putting it mildly
In some districts we have the spectacle
of free silver candidate ON a gold
standard platform, IN others we have
an outspoken gold standard man on a
compromise platform. When this ac-
ton of the republican party in the diff
eTent parts of the state is properly an
aiyZed Il shows that the party is frigh-
tened about this issue, tries to please
everybody and consequently pleases
nobody. The record of the reNSljcan
st = ssstt the position OF It's lee lers to-
day show it TO be unequiyocally in fay
or of "a gold basis and total destruction
of the money function of silver, but in
those parts where tile people are
thoroughly aroused to their interests
tue republican politicians are endeay
oring to dodge the issue. This is the
reason why so many shades of re-
publican platforms have beer
adopted throughout the country. Tb'
..micen are scared and are now engag
ed in digging holes to crawl in wneI
they are approached.

WE note quite a number of our Popu.
ulist exchanges clubbing with gold
standard metropolitan papers. This is
wrong. No populist can afford to sup
port a gold standard papers when there
are so many PopulIst papers that need
patronage SO badly. Every time farm.
er, laborer or merchant spends his
money with paper advocating a single
gold standard, he gives aid to a cause
that Will deprive him and his family
of the necessaries and comforts of life
Populists should not encourage this.

The amendment to the Senate free
coinage bill which restricted the COIN
age to American silver was defeated
by the republican House by greater
majority than was the free and unlim-

coinage Of American silver.
