The New York World. In tne EFFORT to
mIsrepresent the situation at st. Louis.
IS outdoing itself. and has been forced
each day almost to correct its mlsrerre-
sensations regarding the attitude OF Nc
KlnIey leaders made the day previous.
An instance Is furnished by Tuesdays
paper. The World, with Its usual flour
ish and know all about-it air, declared
under flaming headlines that Mckinley
IS not in sympathy with the proposed
money plank of the platform. and cited
as evidence the allegation that the Ohio
man had revised the speech of Temper
airy Chairman Fairbanks and had
toned down II he did not wholly elimi-
nate all references to gold"
The lie was given to this malicious
statement Of the World before the paper
was on the streets OF New York many
hours. and before many OF Its readers
had an opportunity to read 1t. Shortly
after noon on Tuesday, at st. Louis
Chairman Fairbanks was delivering the
speech in question. and. to the great de-
light of the vast majority OF the convcn-
ton and OF the sound money men OF the
country. was taking unsquivocaI
grounds on the money question in lam
Guage which left no doubt as to where
the Mckinley men stood-that the key
note Of the campaign was a straightout
declaration for maintaining the Existing
standard and showed those in control OF
the convention unal:erabIy opposed To
the unlimited coinage Of silver without
international agreement
1t was proved beyond a doubt that II
the Worlds statement that Mckinley
had personally revised the speech was
true. he revised It on Just the opposite
lines alleged by the World The World
is a great newspaper, but 1t doesn't
know tt all The effort 20 misrepresent
McKinley'3 attitude and to hold him up
as timld candidate has been abortivc
from the start In spite OF all these at
tacks, he has been a growing candidate
and continues 10 grow. He is the choice
Of the people and the people will elect
him. Even the World will be Obliged
before many days to get into the band
wagon II the programme Of the free sill
yer Democrats to attach the party as a

President Cleveland says he cannot

on the Democratic creed a demand for

cause 1t seems to me that such course

every interest OF our country and will
result In lasting disaster TO our party
organization.
These are bold words II come from a
great party leader on the eve of presi-
dental convention. but 1t looks at this
writing that the President is doomed to
the fate he fears for 1t. Mr.. Cleveland
does not Intimate in his letter what he
will do in the event OF the party's sur
render to the new creed. but his Ian
guage is SO plain as to leave no doubt In

and being against what he believes to
be the best Interests Of the country. sup

limited coinage Of silver.
He practically gives notice that the
support OF his administration need not
be expected II such course is adopted.
Ii Is NOT probable that he would openly
support the Republican party. but there
is. no question that he would refrain
from an active support OF the Demo-
cratic ticket. and to that extent would
contribute to the cause Of sound money.
This u the meaning OF the letter II it
means anything.

west virginia Dcmocsatlc Convention

West Virginia Democratic Conventions,
The West Virginia Democrats yestcr.
day met In district conventions and Sc
lectcd delegates to the Chicago national
convention; hut this Is not all that they
did They committed themselves by
resolution to the free silver hcresy and
thus severed their relations with the
national Democratic administration and
repudlated their action in 1892. when
they helped to elect 1t to power. They
also placed the delegates to Chicago un-
der Instructions to vote FOR free silver
and free silver man for the presl-
deucy,
In the First district where, with rea-
son. 1t was supposed that sound money
sentiment was strong In the Democratic
party Ohio county had candidate for
delegate in the person Of ex-Attorney
General Caldwell. but he was engulfed
by the silver wave and Is victim OF the
craze because he had the courage OF his
convictions and announced himself as
unalterably opposed to the fifty cent
dollar tad. This means that the First
district Democrats are as wild in the
rush TO attach themselves to the popu-
lIstic fallacy as other Democrats in the
state, and that they think they can do
without Ohio and other Pan Handle
countles In November So be It,
Postmaster General Wilson's home
district, which used to regard him as
the greatest Roman OF them all and was
proud to honor him, emphasized Its pre-
vious Reputation of him and went OF
after the false god.
And in the Third and Fourth districts
the story is the same. Thus have we
seen great party In West Virginia SUR
render itself to new craze and so down
with an the freak issues OF the hour,
which that party has espouscd in years
gone By. In the meantime the Republic
can party Of West Virginia keeps Its
face to the front and marches on In the
