The Register OF Yesterday contained
what purportcd to be an account of n
Joint discussion Of the issues of the
3 campaign between Congressman Day
ton, and Hon. John W. Mason. for the
Republicans. and Candidate Watts and
Petersburg, Grant county. or course,
according to the Register report, there
was nothing left OF Messrs. Mason and
Dayton when tho Charleston comblna-
ton got through with them. The Regis
ter correspondent was nhed!ent to in
structionS from the home Office and saw
TO IL that II the two distinguished Re-
p%ublIcans we're not worsted IN the de-
bate they should at least be done up tn
the queens taste In the Register col
umns.
According to the Register report.
nearly the entire discussion hung upon
three propositions laid down by MIR.
Chiffon which he asked Mr.. Dayton and
Mr.. Mason to answer. No who
knows the two men G0ubts for n mo-
ment chat they did answer them. but IA
they did not do 80 to the satisfaction or
the Register correspondent. ind he takes
pains 10 gnrble the replies 10 make II
anpear that they did not answer them.
1t may be well for the satisfaction or
newspaper readers OF average intclll-
gcnce, 10 state what the propositions
were and give the answers that the
Register reporter did not desire his
readers 10 psruse.
Mr., ChIlton's frat proposition was TINT
"the constitution gives Congress- certain
movers, amonG them the right TO coin
money, and 1t stipulation that that mon
cy shall be both gold and silver. No
party can take one money away Without
n violation Of the constitution"
This IL the argument on which !R
based the cry for the money OF the
constitution" which Mr.. Bryan declares
the people are crying for. The answer
is no simple that n lawyer OF Mr.. Chill

make thu "proDoSlt!on."

Mr.. Chilton's second question was,
"why and In whose interest was the act
OF 1879 1.-THE so.called 'crlme') passed."
That net, the alleged 'dcmonetizatlon'
OF silver. did not strike down silver, anu
could not have been n crime" since It
Increased the coinage Of silver. Pre-
v!ous to 1873 silver wac little coined, and
for some years little had been IN cIrcu-
lation; since that time we have coined
nifty times as many silver dollars M had
been coined in the entire history OF the
country down to 1879, That Is the way
silver was 'discrlminated against"
y policy which Increased the use OF q
money metal nifty fold and brought It
into active circulation, and under which
the silver dollars are kept Mt II parity

the Interest Of the soundness OF our cur
rcncy system. To ~"dcmOnetIze" means

creased the use of silver ny money. SIl-
Yer was not dcmonetlzed; It's free coin
axe was stopped. The market value OF
silver then worked against coinage.
Under limited coinage We have done
more for silver than We ever did bcforG
and have maintained u safe policy.
Mr.. Chilton's third proposition was MS
follows:
Therp Is not enough gold In this country
TO transact the business Of the country.
II this IL true, there must be some other
bnSIc money. md 1t has been silver from
time ~!mmemorial. When the people had
1t they were happy: and their present dis
content is due TO reconciliation.
While the people had It they were
happy" This Is the vcrIcst nonsense.
While the people had 1t" there were but
5000. 900 silver dollars In existence and
none Of them In circulation. Now WE
have more than 400. 900 1000 of them, and
a silver dollar Is not a curiosity.
Mr.. Chilton's stock arguments are no
better than his stock propositions.

The I~ntclligencer has had occasion TO
quote from the Colorado Springs Ga
zctte many excellent things showing
that the free silver men are not having
II all their own way In the state OF Colo
RADIO. There Is a strong sound money
Republican and Democratic-sentiment
in that state, and 1t has just given It's
expression in n very forcible way.
The Colorado Springs Gazette brings
a full report OF II Republican meeting
held at that place last week. For miles
o the people poured In So that the
ample accommodations provided proved
an overflow meeting. l, was u tremen-
dOus and inspiring demonstration In
favor OF sound Republican principles.
United States Senator Walcott, a Col
orado Republican who remains true to
his party. made what may be called the
effort OF his life. He covered the field OF
political discussion better than most
men could cover It In a single speech,
and every Republican sentiment to
which he gave utterance was received
with the approval of hearty applause.
Senator Waicutt denied that all Colo
RADIO has gone crazy for the bryan
ticket and the Bryan platform, He said
there would be n straight Republican
ticket In every county In the state, and,
to the intense delight of his audience. he
p~rOphesicd the signal triumph OF Nc
Klnley and Hobart and the humiliation
OF the Bryan forces. He declared among
other things his endorsement of iuternl-
tIOnal bimetallIsm. us set forth In the
Republican platform. He was applaud
ed heartily when he said that II silver
could he restored to It's former place
without accepting all that the Chicago
ticket means, he would prefer to let
silver go and to stand BY the Integrity
Of the country.
The Significance OF this speech Is that
plnuded by a gathering of people such
as is said ncvcrf1o have been seen be-
fore In Colorady Springs. There Is hope
for Colorado The PopOcratic crowd
may get !ts electoral vote. but there Is
enough sanity and patriotism left In the
state tn redeem 1t before long from the
rule Of the combination which has
sought to lay hold OF II.
