THE SITUATION as TO SILVER II.


Yesterday we expressed ourselves in
favor of the silver Democrats pursu-
ing the following course in the Ma
tional Democratic convention in re-
gard to silver:
First-Try and carry the national
convention for the free coinage OF sill
yer as well as gold at the present legal
ratio
second-Failing in that leave the
convention and raise the standard of
true Democracy. affirming all its
principles. renewing allegiance to its
traditions. and pledge themselves to
work increasingly for the restoration
of silver to its place in our monetary
system. and thus form a nucleus
around which all the friends Of silver
may gather
The sessions of the national conven-
ton viii begin in Chicago on the 18th
of July. 1t win be made up of 9O6
delegates, 1914 from states, two from
the District of Columbia and ten from
territories. 1t will require a majority,
Asa, to adopt a platform; and two
thirds Of the convention, 6O4, to nomi-
nate candidates for the Office of presi-
dent and viee-president. The Chicago
Chronicle the other day published the
following table showing how the states
We're divided on the silver question,
and giving their votes in the conven-
ton. The first table gives the states
for honest money" meaning by that.
the single gold standard, and the
states for silver at the ratio of 16
to l; the second table enumerates the
doubtful states, and gives the number
of their votes in the convention:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-03-05


Accepting for moment the Chron-
icle's alignment of the states on this
subject it divides the votes of the con-
vention thus:
For honest money" ................4OO
Silver, 16 to Observation-Disclosures 72
! Doubtful ............... .....,.,....,2S4
As 454 votes are required for ma
jority to adopt platform it will be
seen that the gold money states lack
IA of the required number to adopt the
platform; and they will lack 2O4 of
the necessary two-thirds to nominate
the President and Vice-President.
If the silver Democrats could carry
in the convention all the doubtful
states-and they have at least a rea-
sonable chance of doing so-they would
have 500 votes. or 81 more than enough
to adopt a silver plank in the plat
form, but would lack IS of the neces-
sary votes to nominate the President
and vice-President.
These speculations, however, are
founded on the supposition that the
delegations from the respective states
viii vote solidly one way or the other,
thing they win not do The dele
cations will unquestionably be divid-
ed on the subject. Even the delega-
tiong from those states set down as
solid for the gold standard will be di-
vided: especially will that be the case
with the delegations from the states
of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wis
consin; it viii unquestionably be the
case with the delegates from all the
doubtful states. While it may be true
that the delegations from the states
set down as solid for silver at 16 to 1
may also be divided the other way,
that is in favor of gold, it IS not so
likely that they viii be. or if divided
at all that they will be divided to the
same extent.
AT any rate the outlook is much bet
ter for carrying the Democratic con-
vention for silver than we had dared
to think; and in the event of failing in
that, if the friends of silver can be
held together, the elements for the es-
adjustment of true Democratic
party that shall affirm anew the gos-
pei of Democracy as taught by its
founders are much more abundant
than we had dared to hope; while the
correspondence given below, will con-
vince the readers of The Herald that
the Democratic party is taking the
necessary steps to become also the
silver party Of the United States.

TERRIFYING SPEcTACLE.-On Saturday
last while returning from the canning house
with a large load of empty tomato boxes
Mr.. Grant Webster's two.horse team fright
ened by the falling of one of the boxes from
the front of the wagon, lodging on the dou
be tree, started to run down Altamont Aye
nue. from the summit of the hill. Mr.. Web
ster was sitting upon the boxes back at The
side rubber lever and at great disadvantage
to control a runaway team. In endcavoring
to run them foul the fence he was thrown
out, the wheel passing across his chest the
wagon, luckily, al the time was thrown from
the ground on that side and he escaped with
several abrasons and bruises.
His six year. old son was on the wagon and
when his father was thrown out, the little
fellow tried to stop the horses by drawing
the rubhers. when he was thrown into per
ilous position, his feet under the wagon bed
bis leg at the hip resting on the rubber and
against the revolving wheel, his body hang
ing out and downward. In this position hi
came down that long hill. across Main street
then down that toughest of thoroughfares
Foreman's alley, the horses gong at the tor
oftheir speed, the wagon surging and bound
ing and all the time the rough tire grinding
into the flesh of the leg. He was thrown Of
at the first turn of the alley, a wheel passing
over foot, bruising it badly, His escap
from death was miraculous. While the lac
Grafton of his thigh and his bruised foot ar
painful INJURIES he sustained no serious hur
about the body and excepting the shock ant
injuries noted, came out of it safely.
The memory Of that flying team with tn
little boy in the grip of the wheel and brake
will long remain with those who witnessed
the flight across Main Street,
