THE FIGHT
viii Be Prosecuted on the Lines
Laid Down.

The Democratic Party lis the BE
metallic Party, Says CocISrelI.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri,
returned to Washington Thursday.
The Senator was member of the
executive committee ofthe Silver
League, which organized the fight
that carried the Democratic con
vention for silver.
When asked if the silver fight
was to be continued, he responded
in his usual vigorous manner by
saying: "The Democratic party is
the bimetallic party. We have got
the organization and come back to
our ancient principles, There may
be few gold monometallists who
may slough. of, butthere are enough
bimetallists to join us to take their
places. We will keep up the fight,
of course. We will make it from
now on as we have in the past"
Senator Cockrell would not say
anything about legislation in the
coming session of congress, saying
he had no idea of the intention of
his friends on the other side.

After Them.


The late crime against independ-
ent suffrage, better known as Han
mas election, should arouse every
one to the necessity of an alarm
being sounded against the further
coercion and debauching of the
freedom of the ballot.
We note with satisfaction that
the grand jury at Wheeling has ia
ken up the matter. and will. prose-
cute a most diligent inquiry tow
ards the uncovering of fraud and
political rascality.
The subject has been taken up
in Parkersburg, and evidence is be-
ing gathered against every one who
used threats, coercion, intimidation
or corruption to influence voters at
the late election. Fraud upon an
honest ballot must cease, or cleo
tons will soon be the veriest farce.

"Stop the free silver agitation"
is the cry of the gold bug Courier
journal, of Louisville. Certainly
people have had enough of politics
for time, and will be too busy
Watching the signs given out by
the incoming President for the
next few months to engage in
heated political debate. Butas to
stopping the free silver agitation
the Courier-Journal should hold
it's horse until the occasion presents
itself for work in that line. No
silver man who has intelligently
and thoroughly studied the ques-
ton but is to-day more earnest
than ever. Investigation adds to
conviction. The agitation" will
not stop until tho question is set
tied, precisely as was the case with
the anti-slavery agitation. Reforms
don't go backward, Temporary
reverses add to the zeal of all true
believers. The work of education
will go on. 2d

Wheat showed weakness all the session.
The current news brought little encour-

timent was bcarish and the professionals
inclined to take the selling side, while there
was a conspicuous absence OF support from
any quarter. the market was depressed
from the start. The weekly Russian end

Russian navigation everywhere. This made

The visible supply lid not show as large

600 bushels, where there was a decrease Of
2,S0O@ bushels a year ago That and the
itne growing weather were the reasons
for a weaker wheat market at the OPEN
ing, and generally during the forenoon.

compared with 477 last Monday, and 5li

The market continued TO weaken during

In oats only fair business was doing,

due to the large receipts of hogs. although
