Nebraska Mans Ideas American People
for Bimetallism, but Tariff Won the No.
vember Battle. Says the New Hamp shirs
Statesman An Irrepressibie Conflict.
Washington, Nov. 30.-The Post. in a
cable letter from London. prints today
an advance copy of an important article
written by Hon. William f.. Chandler.
senator from New Hampshire. for the
December issue of The National Re-
view, the Conservative monthly. I'm
which he discusses the late election
from the Republican standpoint. His
principal object is to encourage Eu-
ropean bimetallists TO continue their
propaganda. The Review commenting
editorially upon the election of Major
Mckinley. dogmatically asserts that
unless the Republican party settles
the silver question before 1900 there
will be nothing left OF that party after
1900"
Senator Chambers article Is as fol-
lows: European bimetallists need not
believe that the election OF Mckinley
and Hobart by overwhelming MAORI
ties is a decision to permanently &C
cede 10 the single gold standard. The
Bryan proposition was soon seen by
the American voters to be simply that
the United States should adopt silver
monometallism; should deliberately
give up all attempts TO keep gold and
silver al a parity; should send gold to
a premium and thereby make II mer-
chandise merely, and should base all
American prices upon silver only.
Bryan Men Not Bimetallists.
1T can hardly be considered, upon
reflection, by any true bimetallist that
such action on our part would have
helped the cause Of bimetallism in any
country in the world. 1t is true that
the Bryanites called themselves BIZ
metallists. and that Mr.. Bryan, in his
recent outcry from his temporary po-
litlcal entombment. addresses. not the
Democrats, not the Populists, nor the
people, but the bimetallists.' This,
however, is q sheer affectation. No
Bryan orator or writer has seriously
denied that the adoption of his policy
the immediate, unlimited free coin
age OF silver by the United States
alone'-would send gold to a premium
and keep ii there for an indefinite
period. Surely that would be silver
monometallism; and can it be contend
ed that silver monometal is any
better stepping-ston to bimetallism
than gold recommendation.

odist Episcopal church, Bishop Merrill
announced that the order of the day
was the report of the committee on

rights in the interest of harmony. They
thanked the champions of their cause.

a prOtracted struggle over their rights.
Ii was signed by three OF the four wo-
men delegates and was Il stunning blow
at the champions of the woman's cause.

signed to the document and the wo-
mems champions rallied. The secre-
tary read the majority report. which
declared that women had a Constitu-
tional right to membership In the con-
ference.

liant speech in favor of the adoption of

count of the question and was mas

of the question.
MINORITY REPORT
The Rev. Dr. Neely, of Philadelphia
read the minority report. 1t said that
the minority had carefully inquired in

women possessed no right in the con-

speech in favor of the minority report
