TIE attitude of the gold standard
democrats of the East appears to be
changing somewhat. Heretofore they
have been composed, and maintained
a sort Of digniaed silence and If saying
anything it was something about de-
mOcracy being larger than any one idea.
But now the tones are more OminOus
and threatening. Ex-Secretary W. G.
Whitney, of New York, has been des-
ignated to manage their campaign and
and lead their forces. Whitney is q
man Of prodiGiOus wealth, leader
among New York leaders, a sort of a
Mark Antony OF man and he is lack
ing in no means that might avail any
thing. He has watched Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky, Iowa and other States he
had confidently expected to swing his
way, while they slipped off the other.
He at last realizes that he and his cause
is hOpelessly iii the minority. His gold
seems so far to have availed him moth
ing, that is If he has really and in ear
nest made bona fiede fight. He has
now come to the point where instead of
talking about democracy being greater
than one idea, he is saying it is ques-
ton of national honor" That free
coinage would not be merely dishon-
est, it would be dishonorable aud you
cannot compromise aquestion ofhOnor."
He also says free coinage candidate
on free coinage platform twill prac-
tically disrupt the party and in dis
cusslng the matter he urges the "get
together policy" But in talking
about national honor, we would like
to hear of a New York democrat who
can justly lay claim to any of it.S When
Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the
party, author of the declaration Of in
dependence and the grandest philoso
pher Of America, was candidate for
president, New York democracy di-
vided his hOnors with Aaron Burr, an
unknown adventurer, a libertine and
traitor. When Old Hickory Jackson
was engaged in a terrific life and death
struggle with the money power as or
ganizCd IN the United States bank,
New York democracy sat in its bank
cellars and pictured the old hero with
asses ears, sitting in a fence corner
smoking a cob pipe. Now that another
crisis is on, true to its ancestral de-
pravity, it consOrts with gormands,
wealth worshippers and snobs, and
discants on national honor. God save
us from New York democracy.

THERE are few free silver republic
cans who have professed to believe
Mckinley would not run on that gold
standard platform and that in his letter
of acceptance he would take ground
against the frequent use of the veto
power and say that he would veto no
law on the currency which come to him
from Congress. But the revelations
which are now coming to light should
dispel all such illusions. H.Clay Evans
Of Tennessee says Mckinley probably
wrote the financial plank himself and
Charles Emory Smith, editor of the
Philadelphia Press says in an article
oyer his own signature that he saw y
draft of the plank week before the
convention as it came from Canton
shown to him by Senator Foraker, Of
Ohio, who was member of the plat
form committee and who in the logical
cour of events was made chairman
of it, being from McKinley's own State
and in his article he prints the draft
as shown him and the plank as it was
adopted. The two are identical in
substance both calling for the gold
standard and both opposing free coin
age, and there are only two slight
changes in the verbage. The fact IS
that the men who shouted for McKin-
ley and free coinage were very nicely
tricked, and in theparlance of the boys

Review Of the Organization Since Its
Beginning.
The elaborate rockingham theater
affairs of the last two years are a pro-
nOunced contradiction of the humble
intentions OF the twenty-One Bachelors
who eight years ago met In the Office
of Captain Montrose Barnard in the old
Grand Army of the Republic build
ing. Many of these young men
were then popular members of
select social set and were
constantly being invited to dinners.
parties and dances, but We're with
out the home cOnveniences necessary to
return their social Indebtedness. 1t was
for the purpose of giving occasional
dances and thus cancelling their social
obligations that the Bachelor organiza-
tiOn was suggested.
At the meeting in Captain Barnard's
Office committee on invitations was
appointed. Several days later it sub
mitted u list OF persons to be invited
to a dancing party to be given in a
we'll known home on the hill. The list
contained the names of many to whom
several of the Bachelors were socially
obligated. But there came a disa gree
ment when Mr.. Jones declined to enter
tain Mr. Smiths friend because Mr..
Jones and the friend Of Mr.. Smith were
net on good terms. There were several
suoh instances which precluded the
possibility Of the intended informal
house affairs. Someone hit upon the
plan Of giving annually big ball in the
Wyoming house. suggesting that a
large ball would swallow individual
differences This idea was accepted
and from 1t grew the 1894 and 1895 sub
scription balls in the rockingham.
Change of Pisn Decided Upon.
1t was decided that the expense be
divided equally among the members.
and in case any member married he
was to be exempt from payment. This
idea worked very well until two years
ago, when so many of the members
had become Benedicts that the last ball
in the Wyoming House cost each men,
ber over $40. 1t was apparent that al
though the membership might be re-
cruited the individual expense would
continue to be great because of the de-
mand for something better and more
elaborate from year to year.
So 1t was decided to father sub
scription ball in the rockingham on a
scale not previously attempted and to
include the married members in the re-
sEOnsibility to share in possible loss.
Preparations for the 1894 ball in the
rockingham was begun with a slight
deficiency in the Bachelor treasury
and the financial outlook did not bright

counts were settled there remained a
surplus of $50 to be devoted toward
