A BRILLIANT YOUNG MAN.

Hon Isaac c. Ralphsnyder. of Pres
ton county. is a candidate for Governor,
with headquarters at Fairmont. Mir.
Ralphsnyder is a brilliant young man
with plenty of push and energy. He
is an avowed champion of silver and
believes in the immediate coinage of
the same on the same terms on which
gold is coined and at the long tried ra-
ito of IS to l. He has no hesita ion in
avOwing his position and aDiLe-5 by
the consequences of such avowal. Be-
lieveing that course TO be right, he has
the courage to stand by his convictions.
So far. he is the only candidate in the
field who has boldly taken a stand in
favor of the people. Others may yet
come out in favor of silver. but until
they do so Mr. Ralphsnyder deserves
the support OF every silver man in the
State. The position of the Tribune on
this important question is too well
known to need restating 1t will only
support men who stand for the people
in this fight. In this step it will
neither OFFER or accept any apologies

for US is against us. The man who hes
itates to express mis- views en- mat
ter of such prime importance. or who
equivocates. and burdens his express
sions with conditions which rob them
of any real meaning is not for us. He
is either against silver coinage or lack
ing anv views on the question. attempts
to hide his impotence and lack of fit
ness for any trust Silver men have no
compromise TO offer. and will accep!
none. Let us adopt the motto; "'Those
