The Case Clearly Stated.

The Milwaukee Journal is publish
inc letters from Wisconsin Democrats
in regard to the action of the Chicago
convention. Among the excellent
letters printed is ore from Hon. Ham
iltop II. Gray, Of Darlington. it is
written In a spirit Of sorrow rather
than OF anger, and to our mind states
tbs case exactly. Mr.. Gray says:
"To a Democrat Of fortyiiye years
experience, it is sorrowful hnmilla-
tion TO accept the work OF the late
Chicago convention as the result "l
the teaching Of Jefferson. The with
holding Of II recognition OF the merit
of their own executive was ungrateful.
With n treasury loaded with metal
that has lost It's former value, this con
vcntion repudiatcs contracts to pay
money amounting to millions by
stamping an arbitrary amount OF sill
yer with the national embems. The
pledge to favor Legislation deprivlng a
citizen of the right to contract Is the
worst kind Of paternali8m. The at
tacks upon the supreme court ana the
revival of the grecnback plan are eVi-
dcnces Of the populist dominating Il
Democratic convention.

ties whose patriotism is nnquesttoned,

Must Fight its own Offspring.

Milwaukee journal.
For years and years the Republican
party has been magnifying the power
Of the United States and COntending
that it is able to do anything; and
particularly, that il ought to do Just
the opposite Of what England does.
That our interests and those Of ENG
land are adverse AT AL points. THAT
her support of any policy IS enough to
condemn it MS ours. With what face
can that party or its organs object to
the use of the same argument
by the free siIvcritrs? If it does, it
must set about undoing what it has so
long and SO patiently built up, 1t
must labor to prove that all the world
is kin, with interests Of like character
and common. It must assert that
what England does may be right and
nullllr Tor us ana lNlS must De UtlcF-
mined by the argument and not by
yelling "I}ritish : Now that party
has to light it's own offspring which is
serving free silver as IT served for
them, Moro Of It's chickens have
como homo to roost. The experience
Of the last twenty-five years and of
the present ought to teach men and
politicians that sound argument is the
only basis Of correct Judgment; spe-
cions argument and appeals to scnti-
mcnt may carry the crowd, but they
bring evils and enlargement in their
train, Tho Republican party must
now suffer for ita course in the past

Democrats who believe in the free
coinage Of silver say that maiorities
should rule; that when they were
outvoted in convention, they took
their medicine and stood by the party.
They therefore argue that sound
money Democrats should now stand
by the decision Of the national con
vention and vote for Bryan. There Is,
however, the vital difference that
the free coinage advocates are wrong,
and that the advocates Of sound
money are right, We find no fault
with anyone for believing that the
FREQ aud unlimited coinage Of silver
mt n ratio of Ii to will cure all Of
our financial ills. We question the
right of no one to fully endorse the
Chicago platform; bat, holding rs we
do, that the policies and principles
enuuciated therein are radically oppos-
ed to the spirit Of true Democracy, we
deny that 1t is the duty of Democrats
to give it their endorsement and sup
port. We prefer to stand with the
war Democrats in their fight against
the free silver movement in the party
and for the credit and integrity of q
Il nation which stands foremost among
the commercial nations Of the earth.

their duty, under the instructions
received by them, to oppose with the
utmost vigor the adoption of that
platform, and after it was adopted, to
decline to vote for a candidate who
represented it.
ave have thought it only proper to
make report Of our action to the Dem
ocrats of Wisconsin, and say that
crisis is now imminent such as had
never in the history of the Democratic
party confronted it. Its enemies pre-
diet is dissolution; its false friends are
alike Enthusiastically and mistaken.
The Democratic principles are the
foundation upon which free govern
rests; they are firmly established in the
hearts Of the American people; they
cannot be destroyed SO long as
love of liberty, and belief in a
republican form Of government exists.
No set Of men selling forcibly upon
the machinery of the party can control
the votes of the Democrats believing
in those principles. We have faith to
believe that large majority OF the
Democrats Of Wisconsin are as much
today in favor of the principles de
clared by our state convention as when
that declaration was made. We have
entire confidence that If proper OPP
portunity will be afforded to that ma
orty to express its views in mass
meeting or convention to be called at
some date not far distant, the true
principles Of Democratic faith will be
again pronounced in no uncertain tone,
and that some way will be found by
which Democrats can cast their votes
in favor of a Democrat, and at the
same time against the Protectionist

The crop is very heavy brt somewhat
