We can live on silver basis after
we get there Our great rivers will fol-
low their courses to the sea. Gods sun
will kiss the earth. The crops will
spring forth. Children will be born and
grow up. Enterprises will go forward.
But are we going to take the leap in the
dark and try an experiment fraught
with such risk and panic? A great
French economist once said that when
he was 40. he thought he understood
something about finance. When he was
80. he felt he did not know as much
about it as he did at 40, and at 20 he
began to doubt whether he knew any
thing about it at all, and scarcely dared
to open his mouth. Mr.. Gladstone pom.
dered over the question till he said that
1t seemed almost to defy human intel
lect, but Ben Tillman, from South Car
olin,A knows that the goldbugs Of Wall
street and vampires of Lombard street
are "agin the farmer" and the way the
farmer can get even is to cut his dollar
in two. [Applause.
We are living in grand and awful
time. But the newspapers are printed
every day, and the Americans are not
asleep. The brain of the American peo-
pie is not dull. Their hearts are not dis
honest. These heresies come and 90 as
the tide flows, and sometimes in the
thickest of the night we may not appear
to see the stars that are shining. But
you remember Oh one historic occasion,
when the sky was all covered with fog,
some one asked, "Oh, say, can you see
by the dawn's early light the star span
gled banner yet waving?' And it was
there! Enthusiastic cheers.

REED RENoMINATEp.

Endorsement by the People.

Portland, Me, Aug. 6.-The Republi
cans of Maine assembled this morning
in the old city hall of Portland with the
| expressed purpose to honor for the 10tt
| consecutive time Hon. Thomas b. Reed
with the nomination to congress. The
| popularity of the candidate, as well as
| the general desire to have part in his
| nomination, was evidenced this morn
ing, when through a pouring rain, and
with the roads leading into the city
from the surrounding country well nigh
| impossible from mud, farmers and dele
gates from all over the district turned
| out by the hundreds, and, together with
the citizens of Portland, packed the con-
ventiOn hall to the doors. 1t was esti-
mated that there was at least 1000 PEG
pie present in the hall at 10 o. clock when
the chairman of the district committee,
Emery c. b 0Wer of Freeport, called the
convention to order.
MILFORD G. Chapman was introduced
as the temporary chairman of the con-
vention, and in taking the chair referred
to the great interest with which the pro-
ceedings of this convention were being
watched all over the country, and he ex-
pressed regret that Mr.. Reed was not the
presidential candidate of his party
But" said he, I'VE are broad enough
to put aside feelings of disappointment,
and realizing the necessity of having
able men in the house of representatives
Mr.. Reeds friends honor themselves by
returning to that body man who has
won honor and fame as the representa-
tive of this district"
I'VE are now looking forward" he
said, in conclusion, Ito the time when
Mr.. Reed will become the Republican
standard bearer, and as president of the
United States will further honor his dis
trict."

SOME POOR DEBTORS.

Great Corporations Which Free Silver
Would Enable to Cheat Their Creditors
Out of Half of the Money Borrowed.
The free silver agitators claim to be
working in the interest of the debtors
OF the country, whom they represent as
being large number of poor persons.
! The creditor class is denounced as a
small number of greedy bankers and
monopolists, banded together for the
purpose OF depressing the masses of the
people. Reputation of debts is openly
| advocated by the silverite and Populist
| press on the ground that the men who
borrow money are more numerous than
the men who lend. The belief that in
some way free coinage will benefit poor
debtors by injuring rich creditors is at
the bottom of nine-tenths of all the de-
mands for cEc.p money.
The falsity Of assertions that scheme
to pay debts in SO cent dollars would
help the poor and hurt only the rich
can be easily seen by looking at a few
of the prominent debtors of the country.
Among the great corporations which
would be able to pay off their bonded
Indebtedness in dollars worth so cents
are the following:

SACRAMENTO RECORDUNIoN, FRIDAY. AUGUST p,

2, 200 tons. If given the contract at
$50 each will put in these steel beams
for you.''
Then up rose Mr.. Healy, of Healy,
Tibbits & Co. of San Francisco, who
said he would like to have a chance to
bid on the job, and if piles are to be driv-
en- for the bridge approaches he would
like to bid on them, too. Mr.. Healy
acted as If his firm had been purposely
sighted in some way. He declared that
if they had been permitted to bid on the
work that is now being done on the
bridge the county could have been
saved considerable money
You have bid on work for this coun-
ty," said Chairman Morrison, yet
your bids never saved the county any
thing. 1t is all very well to talk about
what you would have done in this case
but when you had opportunities you
didn't do it."
Supervisor Jenkins still thought it
advisable to have Mr. Falconer pro-
cure estimates of the cost of the pro-
posed changes.
Mr.. Thompson remarked that he had
| Informed the board what the steel
beams could be put in for. He didn't
| care much about the job at the price he
had named, but if the Supervisors so
desired he would put them in
Chairman Morrison said he was sat
isfied with Mr.. Thompson's statement
and offer. AS to the piles, he thought
some of them We're still sound, and that
| 1t would not cost much to replace the
bad ones, and the latter should be re-
moved.
Mr.. Falconer said the pile-driver is
now on the ground and the necessary
piles are there The question was,
would the board authorize Mr.. Laydon
the contractor, to go on and do the
work? Altogether there are quite a
number of piles that ought to be re-
| placed.
Supervisor Dreman moved that the
| four steel beams be put in, and, with
Todd's amendment that the Bridge
Committee be empowered to order the
work done, it was carried unanimously.

THE BOLTING REPUBLICANS.
THE DEMOCRATS AND POPULISTS
FUSE, LEAVING THEM OUT.
They Divide the Offices and the
Populists Get the Nomination
of Senator.

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 20.-A spe-
cial to the Herald" from Boise Idaho
says:
The Democrats and Populists have
agreed to fuse and the bolting Repub-
licans are left out in the cold. After
three days, days filled with anxiety and
torture and characterized by many
features unpleasant to the participants,
the two parties have agreed upon a
basis of fusion, and all that now re-
mains is for the Democratic convention
to officially ratify the agreement ar
rived at.
The nominations will be distributed
as follows: To the Democrats-Presi-
Dental Electors, Supreme Court JUS
tice, Governor, Attorney-Generai,
Treasurer and Mine Inspector
To the Populists-The Legislature,
Senator, Congressman, Lieutenant
Governor, Secretary of State, State Au-
ditor and Superintendent of Public In
struction.
The fusion idea was fought bitterly by
the middle of the road men,, who
were given the hearty support of Du-
bois and the other Republican boilers.
The serious bone of contention was the
Senatorship. the Duboisites several
times came near disrupting all the pre-
arranged plans and stampeding the
Conference Committee. The result of
the prolonged conference has been to
embitter number of those who fought
the fusion with such dogged determina-
tion. Among these is Hon. ]. II. Haw-
ley, candidate for Senator. When he
learned that the Democrats had agreed
TO give the Populists the Senatorship he
declared publicly that he would take
the stump against the entire arrange
ment.
The convention will meet tomorrow
and commence the work of nominating
the combination ticket. In this confer
ence the Democrats have come off VIC
tors. Three of the Populists who OPP
posed fusion bolted the convention.
