Mn. Cleveland and His Enc
mics.

1t is said that the name of Gro
yer Cleveland will not be heard in
the conventions which are to meet
tomorrow and the day following
at the capitol. This may be true,
and 1t is certain that the majority of
delegates are fixed in their hostility
to the man who has made that name
lllustrious. Yet in the State Demo.
cratic Convention which assembled
IN this city two years ago the name
OF Grover Cleveland was applauded
to the echo, and it has been the habit
of Democratic Conventions in this
state to so applaud whenever Cleve-
lands name has been mentioned in
the past twelve years. The Demo-
cratic Conventions that are to as
semble this week will be composed
very largely of the same men who
have been here in the past. and
some of these men who are now
arrayed against the President are
politicians who in times gone bv
conjured with his name in order TO
work their audiences up to a point
of enthusiasm when other efforts |
failed.
Why is the change? Can anv of
those who formerly ''doffed their
ready caps in air" and howled them
selves hoarse at the mention of
Cleveland's name tell why they are
now inclined to hiss him? They
would probably say that the change
relates to the coinage issue. the
Presidents views on the subject
being so much opposed to their own.
but this is an explanation that does
lot explain. Mr.. CIeveland's no
ltion on the money question is the s
anne today that it was on the oeca- |
ion of his first entrance into poli-
les. 1t is in accordance with the !
'olicy be pursued during his first adj {
Illustration. 1t is in line with the 7
declaration he made shortly before !
e was last nominated for the presi- /
ency. !
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1896-05-08

THE BULLETIN seems to
have touched the Reporter
and Falcon in a tender spot
last week when we stated in
connection with an adverse
criticism made by that paper
upon Col. Patterson, that we
were under the impression
that the editor was a defeat
ed applicant for postmaster
of Somerville. Sorry, Broth
er Sparks; we did not intend
to hurt your feelings. You
ask if we will support the
democratic nominee for Con-
gress from this district, if he
is a free silver man. Most
certainly we will, with all
the energy We possess; but
we will try our level best to
prevent the nomination of
such a man.

The National Convention.

The National Democratic Con.
ventiOn, soon to be held in Chicago,
will represent about 92O votes.
| viii the gold standard men, or the
free silver men, control that con-
Vention? This is a question in re-
gard to which people differ. In
order to give the readers of the
BULLETIN some IDEA of how wide
apart the estimates are, we quote
from dispatches, sent out from
Washington, to two of the leading
Southern dailies on the subject.
The Courier-Journal correspon
dent states that the sound money
democrats are about certain to carry
the following states:
Connecticut, u; Delaware, 6:
Indiana, Is, will divide on account
of Matthews candidacy; louisiana,
16; Maine, -; Maryland, Is; Mas
sachusetts, 80; Michigan, %; Min

Jersey, 20; New York, 70; Ohio, |
46; Pennsylvania, Ga; Rhode Island, |
8; Vermont, 8; Washington, 4, al |
ready appointed; total, $50.
The free-silver men are almost
assured of the following states:
California, Is; Colorado, 8; Geor- /
gia, 90; Idaho, 6; Indiana, 10; Kan
sas, 20; Mississippi, Is; Missouri,

umbia, .; New Mckee, 5; Oklaho
ma, 2; Utah, 4; Indian Territory.
}; total 2s2.
There are $50 votes doubtful.
mostly from the following states:
illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Nebraska;
'exas, Virginia, West Virginia
nd Wisconsin. If the sound money
len carry Kentucky, Iowa and
Wisconsin, they will have a MAORI q
? of the convention, counting all t
ne other doubtful states free sill
er. This is the most liberal esti-
late for free silver that can be
lade at this time. The National
will represent about
20 votes, and if the present politi
Il condition can be taken as an in
x of the future, about 500 of r
lese votes viii go for sound
oney.

State Convention.

The Democratic State
Convention, in session al
Nashville Wednesday and
Thursday, was largely at
tended.
Wednesday the Judicial
Convention was held. John
A. Upton was chairman and
%. Il. Thomas and Morgan
Fitzpatrick were secretaries.
The present Court of APP
peals, consisting of Judges
5. 3. Wilson, r. M. Carton
and M. NJ. Neal were nomi-
mated without speeches, and
by general agreement the
vote was taken by acclama-
ton and the nominations
were confirmed unanimously.
We go to press before yes
terday's proceedings are re-
ceived, though beyond a.
doubt Bob Taylor will be
nominated and a free silver
platform adopted.

THOUGH the volume of the
currency is greater than at
any other period in the his
tory of this country, never
theless there is a very pre-
ceptible inequality in its dis
tribution. The principal
cause, while others enter into
is the law that prevents
all classes being placed on
an eqdal footing. For many
years the democratic party
has persistently opposed
class legislation and because
of this fact it is surprising
that in the democratic ranks,
there are advocates of a policy
that would require the own
ers of gold mines to put 100
cents worth of gold in a doll
lar, and at the same time
only require the silver mine
owners to put 80 cents worth
OF silver bullion in a piece of
metal and have it stamped
for a dollar. The advocates
assert, and rightfully so, that
the difference between mate
rial in its raw and manufac-
tured state is too great, and
yet they favor the passage of
a law that would cause the
owners of silver mines to
purchase about twice as
with Alp 1-2 grains af-
ter being converted into a
dollar than while in its raw
or bullion state. No such c
privilege would be given the
owners of gold mines, be- +
cause the bullion in a gold
dollar will purchase no more t
in its coined than nnco;rod !
state. But the analogy be- c
tween the result ofprotecting 4 4
Industries and silver mine r,
'Wners continues only so I
ong as gold remains in cir b
ulation. All past expert n

silver, when in fact it is a victory
for the friends of Josiah Patterson.
