The Republic sent the following
query to the democratic editors of
the state: IF man goes into a
convention is he in honor bound to
support its nominees" With only
two or three exceptions the answers
showed unanimity that left no
doubt as to how the country press
stands on the boiling question. A
man is so bound by all honorable
obligations. A bolter can always
find an excuse for his actions. The
only hope of party is that its mem

WILL CONTEST.

The sound money democrats OF
the State have signifed their inten-
ton to contest for the delegation to
National Convention at Chicago. In
published notice to that effect in
the st. Louis Republic, over the sig
natures of prominent democrats from
all sections of the State, is the sig
nifcant statement that they will
not be read out of the democratic
party because of their financial
views They propose to exercise
their rights to voice in the coun.
ellis of the party, but after the plat.
form is made and the nominees
named they will give loyal support.
That is the right kind of talk and
coming from those supposed to be
in the minority, will have much to
do with curbing the Incorporate
talk of some hot heads that the
party must adopt platform to con,
form to their views, or they will not
abide it's decision. It is not only the
privilege but the duty of every
democrat to take an active interest
in framing the party platforms, and
sustain their contentious with their
best endeavors. After the party has
spoken in convention, then contrary
contentious become reasonable, and
the democrat uttering them is a
traitor. We trust that every demo-
crat in the State will feel that he
will not be driven out of the party
on account of his financial views

ON THE CAMPAIGN.
Sanguine of Democratic Success on
Sound Money Platform.

Sanguine of Democratic Success on Il
Sound Money Platform.
Washington, d. c., February %
"The Democratic party can win this
year" said President Cleveland
a few days ago to member of his
Cabinet, ''if it will declare unequivo-
cally for sound money. No straddle
no compromise will do. On a
straightout plantform, with candi-
date to match, we can carry the
country
The time has passed in which
either of the great parties can tenn
porize with that question" he said
recently, and retain the respect of
the country. 1t must be one thing
or the other, The people want fraLk.
ness, not juggling with words"
Consequently the Administration
forces will go to Chicago determin-
ed to secure, if possible, adoption of
an unequivocal declaration in favor
OF the present monetary standard
and retirement of greenbacks, as
recommended by the President and
the Secretary Of the Treasury in their
communications to Congress.
President Cleveland believes the
Republican National Convention at
st. Louis will compromise with the
silver element. He has eagerly
watched every phase of the pro.
gramme of intimidation which the
silver Republicans have carried on
in and out of Congress, with view
of forcing their party to make
CONCESSIONS to silver at St. Louis,
and he has reached the conclusion
that this conspiracy will in part sue
ceed, In the Presidents opinion,
the Republicans, fearing loss of the
new States of the far West, and
placing their main dependence upon
the charms of high protection, will
juggle with silver and substitute
rhetoric for frankness. If they do
this, Mr.. Cleveland thinks they will
leave an opening for the Democratic
party, an opportunity which, grasp
ed with courage and boldness by the
Convention at Chicago in July, will
lead to success at the polls in No
vember.
This is the idea upon which the
Administration plan of campaign is
arranged. MIR. Cleveland himself,
with the holiness for which he is
noted. has sugges'sl it. Moreover
he has inspiredsome of his followers
with confidence. He has reused in
their minds the hope that, after all
/ the Democratic party may retain
power. He has argued that the
slightest sign of Republican waver
ing on the financial question ma,
prove fatal to that party if met ir
the proper manner by the Democ
racy. He has expressed the belle
that on such an issue, the Republi
cans dallyiug with silver and th.
Democrats standing squsrely for th.
gold standard, many of the State'
of the North heretofore looked upor
as reliably Republican will cast theil
votes for the Democratic nominee
