cism that they show in religion, the
nomination of a genuinely democratic
ticket was imperative.
1t should be understood. however.
that the Indianapolis ticket has but
one mission in this campaign and that
is to save hidebound democrats from
voting for the ticket of disorder and
revolution headed by Mr.. Bryan and
tailed by two gentlemen who are still
disputing as to which one shall do the
wagging. No democrat is absolved by
it from his duty to vote as emphatically
as he can against ruin. riot and repudi-
alton. He can give double emphasis to
his vote, if he will. by casting it for
William Mckinley. That such a course
will be distasteful in the extreme to
every democrat is conceded: but Mr..
Mckinley alone stands between the
country and bankruptcy. and to vote
for him under the circumstances would

Gratis should remember. further, that

make a model ticket, a ticket OF
such sound money democrats that
no democrat longer has the

Does any sane man doubt that Cleve-

Murphy. Smith, Bragg, Palmer, Buck

hundreds of other staunch democrats
of the nation will still lead? They
have the brains which have directed the

A REFUGE FOR THE HIDEBOUND.
Organism will not wear.

In a lucid moment at the beginning
of this campaign Mr.. William Bryan OF
Nebraska emitted one flash Of light
that ought to serve as a beacon to many
puzzled and drifting democrats. Par
ties were not made to be worshiped."
he said: they are merely the instru>
ments by which we serve our country"
1t is a matter of regret that this truth
is not more widely recognized by vot-
ers; and a matter of great wonder as
we'll. 1t Is conceivable that a mar
should cling tenaciously to n set of
principles all his life. but it is inconceiv-
able hat he should meekly follow his
old standard when it Is captured and
carried off by the enemy. The way of
war would be to set about it's %recapture
to fight the enemy, instead of CIV
ing him support. There are voters,
ness with which Mr.. Bryan seems to
nave been temporarily endowed. Vot-
ing a democratic ticket has become a
passion with them, and so potent is 1t
that they must vote for the name no
what heresies 1t has been made
to cover. 1t is for these men that a
third ticket has been put up in a cam
'aign where there is absolutely no hope
II its success. If all men were rational
he convention at Indianapolis would
lave been a piece of foolish extrava-
'ance. But since many of them carry

Hon. John Boyd Thatcher. the demo-
cratic candidate for governor of New
York on a free silver platform, said in
a speech at Saratoga last June: THE
stamp of the government on a piece of
silver can never make it worth much
more than the world is willing to give
for it.. 1t is passing strange that the
very men who have such marvellous
faith in the power of their government
should seem to lave so little sentiment
as to its honor. They reverence its
seal, but appear to be Indifferent to its
escutcheon. The party of Jefferson and
Jackson. of Benton and Tilden has al
ways favored the best money in Use
the money adopted as the standard by
most enlightened nations Of the earth.
Neither consideration of expediencey
nor the selfish interest of those who
own silver bullion should lead us to de-
, part from the safe and secure path"

Renan tells a story of a church SER

one of Candidate Bryan's chief OBJ
jcCtions to the gold standard is that il
is the English standard. Such an OBJ
lection from such a source is surpris-
ing. We should have thought that Mr..
Bryan would have favored it cor that
very reason, being. as he is. such an
ardent admirer of British economies
that he would fasten upon this country
the British policy of free trade.-Econ
Omist.

The important question to be decid-
ed in the present campaign is that of a
return to a protective tariff as the
best means of raising evenu to pay
the current expenses of the govern
ment, maintain the national credit and
reduce the public debt. and at the same
time protect American industries to the
extent of imposing duties equal to the
difference between the wages paid in
Europe and in the United States.-Sen-
atOr Elkins.

The same democratic party Of New
York that now ~"unreservedly indorses
and approves the platform adopted at
Chicago" declared as follows on the
24th of last June: Free coinage of sill
yer by the United States alone can
have no other effect than to change our
present standard to one of silver-now
a deprecated coin. The pro-
position should be resisted with the fer
vor OF both ~partisanship and patriotism
, 1896-09-22

Already the brokers of the nation are
preparing for gigantic speculation in
silver. Whether Mr.. Bryan is elected
or not, it will give them great oppor-
to gamble upon the price of the
white metal pending his election. And
II he should be elected speculation will
run riot in the nation. Silver will be
forced " one day and down the next,
at the will of the manipulators and
there will be no stability about our
currency.
