Washington's Delegation All Right.

IN an interview published in the
>poAtsmdn-RtriDc, Delegate Fenton tig-
l!rea that the Washington delegation To-
the Democratic National Convention
VIII vote solillv for free silver, and
states that they were - implicitly in
stlucted' IL vote for such plank.
This Is Il mistake. 1t WAS well known
that number of candidates for dele
yates would not allow their names to go
before the State Convention ii instruc-
tons were to he given, and vote re-
suited III no instructions" by large
majority. Therefore the vote in the
National Convention may stand 5to3 in
favor OF silver, or il may stand all for
sound money. J. l.. Sharpstcin, Mr..
Glrton and Hugh Wallace are certainly
for the single standard.-Dtyton Courier.
Delegate Fenton is right in voicing
the expectation that Washington's
delegation at Chicago will "vote
solidly for silver" and is just as cor
rect in asserting that they were
" implicitly instructed to vote for such
a plank" 1t is not true that num-
Der OF candidates for delegates would
not allow their names to go before the
State Convention, if instructions we're
to be given, and no vote was taken
that no instructions would be given,
and therefore such a measure was not
carried by a large, small, or any ma
jority at all. On the contrary, the
Convention stood fully two TO one for
silver, and instructions. and the silver
plank dema ading reconciliation
plank in the National platform carried
by that vote, and the instructions"
would have carried by the same ma
jority, had it been deemed necessary
to submit the matter to the Conven-
ton or it been thought that it
would in any manner emphasize
that responsibility. Five of the
delegates elected were known to
be avowed friends of the white
metal, and if any doubt was felt OF
the sense of obligation of the other
three. it was dissipated by letter OF
Mr.. Sharpstein after adjournment, in
which, while favoring the gold stand
ard, he declared his inten ton of vut-
ing in accord with the clearly ex-
pressed will Of the party which dele
gated its interests to him, If Mr..
Girton and Mr.. Wallace are honorable
men they will do likewise.
The idea that the delegation "may
stand all for sound money" with
some Of the soundest silver men OF the
State and Bill" White at their head
in the Convention, is so preposterous,
that it is matter OF surprise that
any intelligent journalist would sug-
gest it.

AARON AND MARK BOTH SOUND ON
THE YELLOW METAL-That history re-
peats itself is shown by the Scriptural
account of Aaron's setting up OF a
golden calf for the children of Israel
to worship, while they were wanderers
in the wilderness, and the parallel is
found in Mark Hanna's golden effigy
erected few days ago at st. Louis, for
the &. o. p. to reverence and adore.
1t will be remembered that Moses,
when he came down from the mount,
and heard "the noise of war" in the
camp, became so incensed at the
idolatry OF the people that he cast the
tables of stone, containing the deca-
lOgue, upon the ground and literally
broke all the commandments at once.
Here the simile ends, doubtless be-
cause the 6. o. p. has no Moses to lead
it out OF the wilderness. 1t seems,
however, that this idolatry was pun
ished by the command from on high
for the Levites to "slay every man his
brother and every man his companion
and every man his neighbour" and the
context shows that the wandering
tribes were amply punished by
plaques for their goldbug proclivities,
just as it is beginning to be seen that
retributive justice is falling upon the
shoulders of the followers OF William,
the McKinleyite.

THE Republican party is mindful OF
the rights of women. Protection OF
American industries includes equal OPP
portunities, equal pay for equal work
and protection of the home. We favor
the admission of women to wider spheres
of usefulness and welcome their cooper
alton in rescuing the country from Dem.
ocratic and Populist mismanagement and
misrule.-Republicon Platform.
If that party of pretenses is SO
mindful of the rights of women
why does it not place her in a way to
secure equal, fair and impartial rights
with her brother man, by extending
her aid in securing the ballot? How
is she to rescue the country from po-
litical "mismanagemenp with her
hands tied? How can she secure
equal pay for equal work when
brought into competition with man
who has pull" on the ballot box?
o Consistency, thou art jewel!

No Enthusiasm.

No nomination ever fell with dull
Ter thud in this community than the
announcement that the Republicans
At st. Louis had set their tin god on
wheels.
The Olympian, which generally is
prompt to sneeze whenever its party
snuffs, announced in a very formal
and perfunctory manner, that the
Lincoln Republican club would on
the evening of the Saturday following,
take steps for holding grand rstifica-
ton meeting. When the time came,
however, the Populists met in Colnm-
bia hall, the clubs place OF regular
meeting, and it is said that commit
tee of the followers of the great COM
moner equaling the memorable confer
ence of tailors of London met on the
sidewalk, and despite their condemna-
ton of Populists' methods, discussed
the only question that was awaiting
action OF the party. One of the MEM
bers suggested that the demonstration
be postponed week, another that il
be delayed two weeks to work up an
enthusiasm" but both propositions
were promptly negatived by one OF the
bosses who suggested that the matter
be Indefinitely postponed. This mo-
ton met with very general favor, but
as it virtually involved surrender be-
fore a gun was fired, it was finally
agreed that a thorough canvas of those
remaining faithful be made by the
Executive Committee of the Club.
This was done, and at a meeting OF
the committee Wednesday. it was de-
cided to hold the first whoop-er-up
meeting OF the campaign next Wednes-
day night

A Just Arrangement.

Colonel John Berry, OF Los Angeles,
Cal who was collector of the port of
San Diego under Harrison, and a shin
ing light in the Republican party, has
published in the Los Angeles Record, a
bitter denunciation of the st. Louis
Convention.
The following extracts from his let
ter show the trend'of his ideas, and it
is said they find an endorsement
among many others as prominent as
he, throughout that State:
"-iIl the Abraham Lincoln Republi-
canlsm there was in the 81. Louis con-
vention withdrew when Senator Teller
and his followers walked out. 1t was not
long before his assassination that Lin
coin, IN letter to a friend in Illinois,
foretold the enforcement OF a plutocracy
as result OF the creation of war debt,
and expressed his profound apprehen-
sion that it BODIED great i'll for the
American people.
The st. Louis convention was DOM
mated by the plutocracy. Its temper
airy CHAIRMAN was corporation lawyer
who aspireS to become United States
Senator from Indiana. Its permanent
Chairman was corporation lawyer who
is United States Senator from Ne
braska. Its dominating spirit was a
protege OF protection who has grown
rich through governmental favoriteism
and who holds the nominee in pawn for
the security of $llS,000 debt. The
fttest sign for the doorway of that con-
vention hall would he the three balls OF
the pawnbroker.
Teller's withdrawal will profoundly
impress the country. One of two things
will now probably happen. Ii the
Drmocratic party dominates good man
at Chicago on an unequivocal free-silver
platform, he will probably be endorsed
by the conventions that will meet in st.
Louis July ed; if the Democrats do not
nominate satisfactory candidate at
Chicago, the two St. Louis conventions
will name the same candidate, and the
free-silyer forces will rally to his sup
port.
The chances are probably in favor of
the Endorsement of the Democratic
nominee. If that is done the ticket
thus supported will sweep the South
and West, going east of the Mississippi
river as far, at any rate, as the Ohio and
Indiana line. The people will not per-
NIT the 200-cent dollar crowd TO rule and
run the country.

REPUBLICANS REcANT.-The Olym,-
plan has at times announced that " a
prominent Democrat" had renowned
his party and presumably joined the
gang who are ain touch" with the
Offices, and while we might at any
time have given Roland for an
Oliver" in noting such changes, there
is really nothing either important
or significant in q few personal
changes of opinion, under ordinary
circumstances. When, however, one
OF the great parties adopts principle
so much at variance with the senti-
ments OF its members that there is q
general stampede from the fold, it is
indeed worthy OF comment. This
week, the STANDARD notes that the
head of the Republican party orgsni.
cation in Thurston county, Chas. H.
Aver, chairman of the Central Com
mittee, steps down and out" and
gives good reasons therefor, which are
published in another column. No
one will question Mr.. AS entire hon.
esty and sincerity. 1t does him infin-
lite credit to cut loose from a party
when it ceases, in his opinion, to be the
vehicle OF popular good. This is followed
by letter from Prof. p. L. Miller, of the
Olympia business College, a lifelong
Republican, giving some sound rea-
sons why he cannot longer affiliate
with the sop. Quite number of
others are calmly considering, as one
of them expresses it. to determine
"Where he is At" and the next few
weeks will doubtless show that many
others have chosen the pathway of
truth and honor, rather than of stulti-
fication and deceit.

who had shortly Heretofore drawn back
pension OF some $4,000 in clean United
States gold, came to one of the Central
American states to try the benefit Of the
warm, dry air Of this climate upon the
disease from which he was suffering. AT
that time gold &C mmanded a premium In
the country to which he came OF 30 per
centum. After his arrival he entered the
banking institution OF the town in which
he had concluded to stop. and arranged to
deposit e sufficient amount or his gold to
net him $1,000 in the currency of the coun-
try. the basis of which was and is silver.
He carried away his certificate of deposit.

promptly for four years with much salts

continual rise in the premium on exchange.
BY the time gold had advanced to a point
threateningly near double that of silver.
