THE NEVADA DEMOCRACY,

The nomination of Bryan and Sc
wall on a silver platform by the Chi
cago convention makes a reorganiza-
ton Of the Nevada Democracy neces
sary. In the campaign of 1892 Il
large majority of the party followed
the instructions of the National Com
mittee and supported the electoral
ticket Of the Silver party pledged to
Weaver and Field. The minority bolt
ed the meeting of the State Central
Committee that refused to put a
Cleveland electoral ticket in the field
and nominated electors and a State
ticket This ticket was recognized
by the Republican Secretary Of State
as the regular Democratic ticket and
given Il place on the official ballot.
In 1894. both wings of the party held
conventions and placed tickets in the
field. Again the Secretary of State
recognized the boilers as the regular
Democratic party and placed their
nominees OF the official ballot. Both
factions again held conventions this
year and elected ~contesting delega-
tons to the National convention. The
contest went before the National Com.
mittee and the regular delegation,
headed by HON. R. P. Heating, was
seated. The contest was renewed be.
fore the Committee on Credentials
and the right OF the Heating delega-
ton to seats in the convention was
confirmed.
This decision of the National con-
vention makes the portion of the party
that supported Weaver and Field the
regular party. AS this wing OF the
party was ignored by o. H. Grey
when Secretary OF State and it's or
g~anization completely broken up in
nearly every county in the State,
steps should be taken to effect q re-
Cancellation between the two wings
OF the party to the end that a thorough
reorganization of the party on the
lines laid down in the Chicago plat
form may be effected.
The INDEPENDENT in common with
the most of the Democrats OF the
State has been in the wilderness for
the last four years following strange
gods, but, as the light has now broken
on the political horizon where all
was once gloom and despair, it in
tends to come out of the wilderness
and walk in the good old Democratic
path once more.

The Expected Happens.

The San Francisco Chronicle pub
fishes a lot Of interviews with Demo-
cratic bankers and trust company Of
icials of that city in which they @view
with alarm" the action of the Chicago
convention with respect to the none
tary question. We find Joseph. A.
Donohoe, Vice-President Of the Don
ohoe-Kelly Banking Company, de-
claring that the silver plank is @pre-
posterous:" that he has always been a
Democrat, but cannot vote for a silver
candidate. "If 1 can do no better, I'll
vote for the other man" is his porten-
tous declaration.
Sig. Greenebaum, Manager of the
London Paris and American Bank, as
serts that the platform dis 50 outrag-
eously ridiculous that sensible people
will not ever discuss it."
Thomas Brown, cashier of the Bank
of California and President of the
San Francisco and Fresno Land Com
pany, wants it understood that he is
IA good Democrat, but a supporter of
Mckinley because he stands for
gold"
This Is the tenor Of the interviews
with the bankers as a class. The sem
timent thus expressed by the comfort
able gold sharks is If course likely to.
change the minds of the masses, whose
most precious curio would be a pho
tograph Of the bankers of San Fran
cisco or anywhere else performing an
act of philanthropy in their behalf.
The Chronicle need not have gone to
the pains to secure these interviews.
Nobody doubted where these bankers
stood. Nobody for an instant doubt
ed that when the moment arrived
they would be found throwing party
principle to the wind and combining
with their brothers of Wall Street to
keep the clutch of gold still tighter
around the throats Of the people.
1t will take a little more than the
voice OF these San Francisco bankers
to stem the mighty tide of silver
which has set in in the West and is
heading gradually and resistlessly to-
ward the East:-Sacramento Bee.

in the field, which now looks probable,
IL would draw heivily FROM the sup
port Mckinley would naturally re-
ceive. The. Prohibition ticket will
drow more support from Mckinley
than from Bryan, as the cold water
party is recruited largely from the
Republican ranks.
Notwithstanding the detection OF a
large number Of Democratic journals,
there is nothing in the present out
look discouragmg to the supporters
Of Bryan and Sewall. On the con-
trary. everything looks promising for
a magnificent victory for the silver
standard bearers in November.
The fight is on and every friend of
the white metal should place himself
under the banner of Bryan and Sewall
regardless Of his past political affli-
atoms.
