WILL BE ANSWERED. IN NOVEMBER

Perry Belmont of the Belmont Morgan Rothschild syndicate, which fleeced the United States out of something like $9,O0O,000 in the notorious secret bond deal, presided at the meeting in New York Tuesday night which was addressed by the Hon. Bourke Cochran, who is now regularly in the employ of Hanna to de- liver speeches In the interest of his mort gagged man during the campaign. We don't see how a better selection for a chairman of the meeting could have been made unless Pierpont Morgan had been chosen. He would have been the best man. but in failing to choose him they certainly chose the next best man. ii4
 It was entirely appropriate when hired ex-democrat was to attempt to re- ply to the great acceptance speech of Mr. Bryan for a member of the bond syndi- cate to preside over the meeting. We are sure the people-the common masses of the common people-will rest assured now that their every interest is to be pro- teeted if the movement in the interest of which that meeting was held succeeds.
 The men who work on the farms, delve in the mines and produce the wealth of this country know that in the men who ran the Cochran meeting in New York Tuesday night they have friends true and tried
 It was reported some days ago that MT. Bryan would return to New York and answer the speech to be made by Cochran, but that would be a willful waste of time. Just let that meeting and that speech alone, MT. Bryan; 1t will be fully answered when the polls close in November

On yesterday MT. Nathan L. Miller of this city was unanimously elected to the position of secretary of the state democratic executive committee. In selecting MT, Miller the committee has made a wise choice. MT. Miller, as the State Herald said yesterday, is eminently qualified to perform the duties of the of- flee, and we are sure that he will do 90 to the entire satisfaction of every member of the committee and to the best interest of the democratic party.

A BAD YEAR FOR THEM

The question, Who did Ex-GoV. Roswell P. Flower and the other diamond stud front fellows represent on the floor of the national democratic convention? natural ly arises since the action of the demo- crats of Jefferson county, New York, the home county of Ex-Governor Flower in which they indorsed the Chicago plat form and nominees and the probable ac- tion of the state convention. Of the ac- ton of the democrats of MT. Flowers home county the New York Post says:
 "The New York democrats are begin hing to elect delegates to their state con vention. The first caucuses were held in Jefferson county, Ex-Governor Flowers home, on Saturday, and resulted in a clean sweep for the silver element, the gold men having given up the fight in advance. This will encourage the free coinage men in the party throughout the state and strengthen the proba bility that this element will indorse Bryan next month and nominate a sllverite as the candidate of the regular organization"
 A "ciean sweep" for the silver senti- ment made in the home county of one of the men who only a few weeks ago ap- peared in Chicago along with Whitney and others for the expressed purpose of swinging the southern delegates in line with the New York democracy. Encour- aged by the result in the home county of the ex-governor, the Post thinks the reg ular democracy of New York state will indorse the Chicago platform and nomi- nees in state convention.
 The Pullman Palace car delega ton that went over to Chicago from New York to control the democracy of the whole coun- try are going to wind up, it appears, in dismal failure to control the democracy of their.own state. This is bad year for diamond stud, palace car delegations anyway.

The safest and most conservative po- litical calculators in the democratic par ty in Indiana estimate that the goldbug bolters from the democratic party in that state will fall below 5000, while there are between 150OO and 10000 free coinage republicans who will vote for Bryan and Sewall, guaranteeing h. danas electoral vote to the democratic nominees by a large majority.

The railroads entering New York re- fused to give reduced rates to persons who desired to attend the democratic mo- tifcation meeting in Madison Square Garden on the 18th instant. There is some curiosity to know how much 1t cost the "host Of democrats of national and local renown'' to get there on Tuesday evening to hear the would-be member of the British parliament, w Bourke Cock ran, raH at ths great democratic party, from which he has had undeserved hon. ors and confidence. We presume the rail- roads above referred to refused reduced rates to these democrats of local and national renown" also, but tempered the refusal with free passes going and com ing. This, of course. they could we'll af- ford to do. as these men were there in the interest of railroads and other ,corpo- ratians, their owners and bondholders, and not of the people. We believe free tickets to employees Is the custom on all such occasions.

Says the ex-congressman and would-be but couldn't-member of the British parliament, w. Bourke Cochran: "As a matter of fact an increase in the coin age is no proof of an increase in property, but may be strong proof of decrease in wealth." What fool the whole world has been, then, for the last twenty-two years in coining, at immense expense, more than $6.161, 100000 of gold and silver; that is more than all the product Of all its gold and silver mines within the same time by about $9OO, .OOO This imme nse coinage Is at once the strong proof' and explanation of the worlds present dis tress; but this wonderful man. wiser than all before him, it seems did not object to the increase os his own coinage, or it's equivalent. resulting from hts bargain and sale of himself to Mark Hanna. He was willing, it appears, to accept that 'strong proof of a decrease in wealth." with all the unutterable dishonor and infamy it carries along with 1t.

That there may be no more bolts and no more new parties organized this year, it is to be hoped that the self-constituted delegates who are to meet at Indianapo- lis next month will be all of one mind. If it should happen that a majority of the fresh bolters gathered in that as semblage insists on doing something not approved by the minority We may ex- pect another bolt and new party. The main principle the bolters are contending for is that a minority shall rule, and we can confidently look for bolt unless those present unanimously agree. One thing certain, unless General Bragg of Wisconsin is entirely satisfied at the outcome there will be a bolt. The old gentleman appears to have been built that way.

The circulars sent out in Montgomery Monday inviting all who were not an- archists to attend the meeting of the Republican Aid society Monday night. taken in connection with the attendance on the meeting, indicates what baneful influence a newspaper can have in a city when not properly conducted It is certainly no credit to the Advertiser to show to the world that in its own city there are less than 400 men who are not anarchists
Birmingham state herald., 1896-08-20

The Advertiser of yesterday intimates that some of the speakers at the ratifi- cation meeting in that city the night be- fore took up considerable time In apolo- gizing for their support of MT. Clarke in the primaries. For this we are certain the Mckinley organ had no grounds. but if MT. Clarke turns up in the ranks of the bolters as is ntimated in some quar- ters that he will, some of those speakers will then have ample cause for offering apologies along the line suggested by the republican organ.

If the Hon. w. Bourke Cochran failed to state in his speech that the success of the free coinage movement would add 47 cents in value to each ounce of the sll- yer mine owners silver, and that it would also result in the payment of debts and wages in 50-cent dollars, he was guilty of emitting a very strong gold standard argument. We shall await the coming of the full text of his speech before charging him with neglect.

NJ. G. Shaw of Bath. the genial presi-
dent of the Kennebec Log Driving Co.,
was in Augusta, Monday, on his return
home after a short business trip to The
Forks. MIR. Shaw says that there are
about rs men at work along the Ken
nebec all told. looking after the logs.
and that, sometime this week, the logs
will all be clear from the Dead river.
In one of the streams which flows into
the Dead river known as Alder
stream, there are some 1000, 900 feet of
logs which wont go down, being left
along the shores. 1t is not now known
when the logs will come down over the
dam. The pitch of the river. Mr.. Shaw
says, is at present very good for driv-
ing.

was Resolved, That there is more
happiness in anticipation than in real
