as she was to her own. In fact this
has been the spirit generally shown by
the Reed men within the party. Ger
tainly the Mckinley men, who appear
to have control of the national COM
mittee should do no less. The
reports of some of the proceedings re-
lative to seating contesting delega-
lions indicate an unwillingness on the
part of the controlling element to be
perfectly fair toward opponents.
Possibly these reports are somewhat
colored. Certainly there is no reason
if Mr.. McKinley's generals are sure OF
the nomination of their candidate,
why they should resort to objection
able tactics in settling the contested
delegations. A fair fight in conven-
ton leaves frmer friends in the CAM
paign and that's what Republicans
the country over, except, possibly. a
dozen or two silver delegates, are de-
termined to be.
Another and no less duty voting
for a candidate devolves upon the
Maine delegation and they will per-
form it manfully. This State in con-
vention approved of a model currency
plank. 1t was recognized as embody-
ing the views of Mr.. Reed. 1t has
been referred to by sound money men
everywhere as a model. 1t may be too
much to expect that it will be bodily
transplanted to the national platform
but the spirit of it should and we con-
fidently believe will be. Maine Re-
are represented by none but,
sound money men and they will take
no insignificant part in one of the
most important features of the work
devolving upon the convention at st.
Louis.

Turning Down a Representative Man.


The attempt of Bro. Otis to secure the
removal OF Arthur Sewall from the Dem
ocratic national committee is now sec
onded by a correspondent of the Argus
who advocates a man who shall be III
full sympathy with the great masses of
his party
OF course it's none of our funeral but we
must remark that Mr.. Sewall seems to be
the most representative man of present
Democracy that we've been able to scare
up. The Democratic party. as is shown
by New HampshirS and other states. Is
divided on the tarin. with strong inclina-
tons toward protection-and Mr.. Sewall
is not Il free trader. But the one thing
which is evidently uppermost in their
thoughts and which will highly overtop all
other possible issues at Chicago. is sill
yer. 1t is admitted by all that the Dem
ocratic convention will be entirely in the
hands of silver men.
Now Mr.. Sewall is a silver man. If the
old Democratic law that the majority
should rule means anything at all these
days, why in the world should this man
from Bath be turned down?

The Currency Fight in the Democratic Party.

While free silver is sur of 4 ma
jority in the Democratic National con-
vention it is somewhat doubtful if
it can muster the requisite two
thirds. OF the 91S delegates, SO have
been chosen. OF these 1913 are for free
silver and PIT for gold. The free silver
men need $40 votes to ensure the two
thirds. New York's - votes will as
suredly not go to their column and
there seems to be 40 doubt but that
Names delegation will be for gold. If,
however, the free coinage men carry
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois their chances
would brighten. There are many. how
ever. who still reckon Ohio with 46
delegates in the sound MONEY column.
also Wisconsin. with "a, Nebraska,
with 16. New Hampshire with eight
and Delaware with six. The outlook is
hat the free coinage crusaders will
have less than $50 in the convention.
Although it seems improbable that
they would. as they probably can
with this large majority, abolish the
time honored two thirds rule, which
was adopted at the convention in Bal
timore in 1882. it is not impossible that
they may do so. The last great fight
against it, in fact it has since been
adopted practically without question,
was in 1852 when the struggle lasted
for nearly five days. Nevertheless
this is an exceptional crisis in the
Democratic party. 1t has of late years
been unsound on money questions but
never has it been SO completely honey
combed with financial heresy in time
of it's power. The free coinage men
have hitherto shown no mercy. They
have swept all before them wherever
they have found they possessed the
power to do so. They appear disposed
to show no mercy, as their action in
Kentucky bears witness. Will they
cool off in the face of the issue at
Chicago, or will they appreciate the
need of capturing the Democratic or
g~anization and act accordingly?
