Don't Worry.

Some of the papers are sugge sting
the silver party will not get a chance
to vote for Bryan and Sewall because
1t is not a party recognized by the
law. 1t is to be hoped that no gold.
ite will become inspired with con-
tidence on so slender a foundation,
and that no silver man will permit
himself to worry over anything so RI
dculous.
A silver Democrat can certainly
vote the straight Democratic elector-
al ticket. So can a silver Republican.
Wherever it is deemed necessary and
the law will permit, the silver part,
will make its own nominations, bu,
in naming electors it will, OF course,
select the men whose names appear
on the Democratic, ticket for they art
too shrewd to divide the silver vote.
Where the law will not allow the
same name to appear twice on the
same ballot, they will vote the straight
Democratic electoral ticket. Men
who believe the silver issue par.
mount to all others, and who haw
broken away from their party on tina
issue, are not going to allow then.
selves to be DISTINGUISHED by Il mer,
party name.
The silver men will all vote, and do
it in such way that their votes will
be counted. Don't worry.-National
