RADICAL CHANGE OF BASE.
How the Party of Moral Pretenses
Twists About.
Cincinnati Enquirer

Eight years ago the National Con
vention of the Republican party at
Chicago adopted the declaration which
Mr.. Mckinley, the present candidate
Ior President, reported and advocated
as the sentiment of the party:
We, the Republican party, believe
in the use of gold and silver as money,
and we denounce the present Del.,U.
cratic administration for its hostility
to silver"
Four years ago the national oonven.
ton of the same party at Minneapolis
declared that by history and tradition
the Republican party demands the
use OF gold and silver as standard
money.
At the late convention at St. Louis
the high priests of the G. o. p. declare
that the existing gold standard
must be preserved"
The denunciation of eight years ago
was aimed at President Cleveland,
who made no cOncealment of his hos
tility to silver. He has been consist
ent from that day to this. Now
Cleveland and his traducers of eight
years ago are in full fellowship. The
Republicans have gone back on the
history and traditions of their party,
which demanded the use Of gold and
silver as standard money" They
now declare for "the single gold
standard" 1t would be eminently
proper and just for Mckinley and
other leaders OF his party to apologize
to Mr.. Cleveland for their unwarrant-
able criticisms OF his course.
As political matters are now shaped
it will be entirely proper for Mr.. Nc.
kinley to invite Cleveland and Car
lisle to enter into full communion
with him in the reformed Republican
church. 1t would be a refreshing
sight, indicative of the near approach
OF the millennium, to see Carlisle and
the venerable old political saints, Sem
ator Sherman, Cleveland and McKin-
ley worshiping at the same shrine.
They are all in favor OF abolishing
American standards and adopting
those in force in monarchial govern
ments OF the old world. They all ad-
NIT that the American people are
incapable of maintaining their own
standards, and claim that the trainers
of the federal constitution were short
sighted when they conferred upon
Congress the power to coin money and
regulate its value without incorporat-
ing the condition that Great Britain
gave he- CO nsent.
At this writing we are not prepared
to say what influences the money
power may have in controlling the
action of the convention at Chicago !;
but without claiming the gift OF
prophe cy, we predict that if the con-
vention make brief, plain, clean-cut
platform in favor of maintaining the
money-standards of the constitution,
and select acceptable standard bear
ers, there will be such a blotting out
OF party lines and such mighty wave
OF popular approval as was never seen
in all the ages.

Republican papers in all parts of the

statement that such an order was

that the Republican papers do not
