DEMOCRACY AND SILVER.

In its disgust with the Republican
national convention and the platform
it adopted, the Tribune seems to have
become Disguised with everything and
to have lost faith in most things. In
its leader yesterday, THE Platform
and the Protest" after expressing its
opinion of the work of the convention
and the course of those who holted, it
defines the position of the writer of the
article, saying:
This being the case. a matter simply
of duty presents itself, and while we
have no faith in the Democracy, while
we believe now that they will nonin-
ate a goldTbug candidate on a gold plat
form in Chicago. while we are not an
ticipating what they or any other
party will do, we simply wish to have
1t understood that personally the wri-
ter of this article win never support
again in all his life a gold candidate on
a gold platform, no matter what party
may present him or what his claims
on general principles may be for the
suffrage Of the American people
If our contemporary really believes
that the Democratic national conven-
ton will nominate a. goldbug candi-
date on a gold platform it does not
show that political acumen with which
it is generally credited. No doubt the.
goldbugs, led by Mr.. Cleveland. who
will be surrounded by very able staff
of goldbug leaders, will try and do the
very thing our contemporary says. but
they win not succeed. It is true that
no one can say with absolute certainty
what a convention viii or will not do,
but it is as certain as anything in pol
itics can be until it actually is that
the Chicago convention will adopt a
free silver platform and name free
silver candidate. Two months before
the st. Louis convention met it was as
certain as such a thing could be that
a gold platform would be adopted.

THE TELLER BOON.


Ihe silver men who bolted. tho CT
Louis convention have made 2 ,,istala
IN placing the name of Senator H. At
Teller before the public as a presiden-
flal candidate the very day after they
poited the convention. They have NOT
even gone back to their constituencies
TO ask approval Of their action. II
PROBABLY will be approved. hui it NAV
noS De- Boiling national convention
IS a very serious matter; bofting a ma
tonal convention without instructions
IS most serious matter. 1t is true
tnat senator Teller has NOT been nom
mated by any national convention: it
Is rue that those who have presented
ms name claim no authority or right
oliief IMAM that which belongs to every
man TO express his personal convic-
oofls' but Senator Teller has been nom
mated and those who have named him
"lli Work nntiringly to have him ac-
cepteu as the candidate of the parties
mat are still to hold their national con-
Vehuens. Just what these gentlemen
mean when they say that the time
mas come for a return to the simpler
and more direct method of naming
men Tor national service than has cb-
t4ined in recent years" is hard TO un-
derstand. The early method of NOM
mating presidential candidates was the
method By congressional caucus. Evil
IDENTIFY this IS not the simpler method
desired This is matter of small i'm
portance, though.
What is said of Senator Teller is all
true enough. OF course it, is possible
10 name man as presidential can
didate and have him voted for without
the formality of national convention.
put It would be a very haphazard ex-
pertinent to attempt to elect pres:den-
tai electors without the Formally of
conventions TO name them. After this
there must be organization 10 carry on
campaign work, Those who are urging
Senator Teller as a presidential candi-
date would seem to have overlooked
all this, They have not Their expec-
tatlon is that the Democratic national
convention viii pick him up and make
him the candidate of the Democratic
party
il such is their expectation. and that
is the general belief, and Representa-
/ tive Hartmap's talk on the matter
makes it almost certain, then we think
they are doomed TO disappointment
While the Chicago convention viii rec
ognize the financial question as the
paramount issue and declare for free
silver, it viii likewise nominate a Dem
ccrat as its standard bearer. OF this
we think there can be no doubt. If
the friends OF silver who left the St.
Louis convention insist upon running
! Senator Teller as an independent silver
candidate, they may succeed in defeat
ing the cause of free silver but they
will never succeed in electing Mr.. Tel
Ter. They would simply be pursuing a
suicidal policy. The wise thing for
them 10 do for the advance
ment of the common cause of
silver, would be for them to accept
the Chicago nominee as their candi-
date-providing, OF course. that he is a
free silver man, and of this there is
little CT no doubt-and work for his
election as the standard bearer of the
free silver forces. If this is not done,
there may be two silver candidates in
the field with the result that both will
inevitably be defeated.

MAUD MULLER.


Maud Muller, on a summer day,
Mounted her wheel and rode away
Beneath her blue cap glowed wealth
Singing, she rode. and her merry glee
Frightened the sparrow from his tree.
But when she was several miles from
town,
Upon the hill-slope, coasting down,
The sweet song died, and vague unrest
And a sort of terror filed her breast
A fear that she hardly dared to own,
For what if her wheel should strike
stone.
The judge scorched swiftly down the
road
Just then she heard his tire explode.
He carried his wheel into the shade
OF the apple tree to await the maid,
And asked her if she would kindly loan
Her pump TO him, as he'd lost his own.
She left her wheel with a sprightly jump,
And in less than a jiffy produced her
pump.
And she blushed as she gave it, looking
down
At her feet, once hid by trailing gown.
Then said the judge as he pumped away,
IT'S very fine weather were having to-
day
He spoke of the grass and flowers and
trees;
And Maud forgot that no trailing gown
Was over her boomers hanging down.
But the tire was fixed, alacE-a-day!
The Judge remounted and rode away.
Maud Muller looked and sighed, "Ah, me!
That the judges bride might be!
my father should have brand new
wheel
And I'd give one to ma of the same de-
sign,
SO that she'd cease to borrow mine"
The judge looked back, as he climbed the
And saw Maud Muller standing STILL
"a prettier face and form more fair

Would she were mine, and l today
Could make her put those boomers

But he thought of his sisters, proud and

I He married a wife of richest dover,

Yet, often while watching the smoke
wreaths curl,
He thought of that freckled bloomer girl;
| OF the way she stood there, pigeon-toed
While he was pumping beside the road.
She married a man who clerked in a
! store,
And many children played round her
door.
| And then her boomers brought her joy!
She cut them down for her oldest boy.
But still of the Judge she often thought,
| And sighed DER the loss that her bloom

Or wondered if wearing them was a sin,

You will forget-a few swift hours.

And ere the bloom forsake the flowers
The lips you kiss have kissed for you
And ere the morrow's sun is set,
You will forget.
You will forget--a mile or so.
And out of sight is out of mind;
The easy tears soon come TO flow,
When lifes before and loves behind,
Aye, love, while still your eyes are wet,
You will forget.
You will forget-in other years
When you behold that white star shine
We see so dimly through the tears;
When you shall pass these doors Of
mine,
Or that dear spot where first we met,
You will forget.
You viii forget-let me love on,
You have been all in all to me;
So when the past is dead and gone,
Like some fine golden phantasy,
Let me love on, to pay my debt
You VIII forget
