Hon. CHARLES S. HAMLIN, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, when asked this
week if he had anything to say as to the
recent Chicago Convention, replied:
"No political issue is involved in the
coming election. The question to be de-
cided is far deeper and more vital. The
perpetuity of Republican institutions has
been threatened. Every loyal citizen
should ally himself against the forces which
controlled the Chicago Convention: forces
of lawlessness which are inconsistent with
the maintenance Of the Republic.
"Henceforth there should be no Republic
can, no Democrat, but a union of loyal
citizens against the combined forces of
reputation and disorder. When once this
dangerous element has been stamped out at
the polls by an indignant people, we
can again divide and discuss those political
questions which for generations have kept
alive the two great political parties"
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-07-18

understood were drawn by Senator C. c.
Crothers.
The opening resolution which was unan
imously adopted reads as follows
PLATFORM OF CECIL DEMOCRATS, MAY
26, 1896.
''The Democratic party of Cecil county
in convention assembled, declares its cor
dial endorsement of the patriotic admins
tration OF President Grover Cleveland. His
firm stand in favor OF the maintenance of
the financial credit of the nation, and his
broad and conservative policy concerning
the hearty approval of the people of the
country regardless Of party.
"We are opposed to the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver, as we'll as to all other
schemes or devices calculated to debase our
currency, or cause our country to lose its
advanced position among the commercial
nations of the world.'
| Now il this conventional declaration of
the party principles and of confidence in
President Cleveland, was the honest senti-
ment Of the Democrats of Cecil county,
which we have no doubt it was, IRE we to
assume, that Cecil Democrats can and will
openly repudiate the principles they pro-
fessed on May 26th, and joining hands with
the calumniators of Grover Cleveland on
July 10th shout their approval of Populistie
schemes they opposed month ago?
Notice how emphatically Mr.. Crothers'
resolution condemns free silver coinage
1t is denounced as scheme (?) calcu-
lated to debase our currency, and to cause
our country to lose its advanced position
among the commercial nations of the world.
Can the delegates who represented the
Democrats of Cecil county at Elkton on
May Goth, and who unanimously denounced
the free coinage scheme, now turn round
and ask the Democratic voters of the
county to vote for the candidate OF the
Chicago platform, because, that platform
does contain scheme calculated to debase
our currency, and cause our country to lose
its advanced position among the CONNER
cial nations of the world?
In other words, if free coinage of silver
was bad national policy when Cecil Dem
ocrats denounced it on May Goth, is it any
less bad policy on July 10th?
Have Tillman and Altgeld, and Bryan
and Bland, and their Anarchistic expourd-
ers of the Populistic financial dogma, made
it any less deserving denuncation in the
exhibitions at Chicago?
Gen. John Gill, one of the Delegates at
large from Maryland in the Chicago con-
vention, says an wouM be a crime to assist
IN such a rerolution.'
Will Cecil Democrats so assist?

to put mark against July 10, 1896, for
the disaster which would follow the appli-
cation to national affairs Of the policy advo-
Gated by Messrs. Bryan and sewall would
be as far-reaching as that of the memorable
Friday which ushered in panic less than
a quarter of a century ago. But assuming
in advance the defeat of the Chicago ticket
the day which marked the adoption of the
platform on which Bryan and Sewall stand
was ''black Friday" for all that the his
toric Democratic party represents. 1t was
reputation of what Senator Hill APPLY
called the traditions of the Democratic
saints, and it will 90 down into history as
the darkest day in the annals of party
which had heretofore borne an honored
name. 1t was 'black Friday for Jeffer-
son and Jackson and Tilden.-Bdto. Sun.

DODGING THE ISSUE.

SIT may not be useless to say to those
Democrats to whom the silver plank is
Objectionable that the election of free
silver President does not necessarily mean
the free coinage of silver. Such bill does
not, nor does any bill, originate with the
President, but in Congress: and the
most that he would have to do would
be to sign it, and this he may never
be called upon to do. The Democratic
friends OF sound money can easily forestall
it by the election Of House of Represen-
tatives not of the silver persuasion. 1t is
possible to vote for Bryan and escape free
silver, but it is not possible to vote for
Mckinley and escape Mckinleyism. -
Cecil County Necs
When the Democrats Of Cecil assembled
in county convention at Elkton little
over month ago-May 26th-cordially
endorsed Grover Cleveland for his firm
stand iu maintaining the financial credit of
the Nation, and declared that they were
of silver, as we'll as to all other schemes or
devices calculated to debase our currency,
or cause our country to lose its advanced
position among the commercial nations Of
the world our contemporaries Ne~s-
gave these utteIances the heartlest endorse
ment.
1t was sound Democratic platform,
thoroughly Jeffersonian and Jacksonian,
with no Bryanesque or Populistic ring
about.
1t was formulated in Senator Crothers'
boldest and most vigorous Anglo-Saxon.
1t was plain, square and pointed decla-
ration in favor Of sound money, expressed
in good English and did its author credit,
in the clear and unequivocal character Of
its expression.
Grover Cleveland and no free silver was
just one month ago the rallying cry OF
Cecil Democrats.
To-day, our contemporary, to aid Cecil
Democrats in swallowing their convictions
which Senator Crothers voiced so we'll, tells
them they can vote for Mr.. Bryan without
necessarily getting what they say they sop
pose" and don't want-free silver.
He shows them how they can stultify
themselves, by holding one opinion and
voting for a man who represents totally
different idea. Just as though you would
counsel man to commit a crime by the
specous plea, that he might escape the
penalty of his act, and would not neces-
sarily hang for it.
That style of talk won't do.
When VIM. ]. Bryan was asked if he
would support the action OF the Democratic
National Convention if it failed to favor
free coinage at Is to | he answered: $50
help me God will die in my tracks before
support it,"
II Mr.. Bryan's sense of manliness provokes
such vigorous utterances, Cecil county
Democrats who do not share his opinions,
are certainly entitled to as much respect
for their convictions az he.

livery. think it is not only the duty of
Democrats TO vote, but to work, against
the ticket and platform adopted at Chicago,
and | shall do both. Speaking for myself
alone think it would be grave mistake
for the sound money forces to divide their
votes. The Republicans boldly took posi-
ton for the gold standard, and the nomi-

THE REPUBLICAN
CAMPAIGN.
League Club VIII Fire the Opening
Gun--General Agnus to Preside.

Whatever dissatisfied Democrats may do.
the Republicans of the State are making
their plans on systematic lines. with
great enthusiasm and with the determination
that the state shall be as thoroughly canvassed
as though the Democratic party were still in
control of the state government and the cleo
ton machinery.
Headquarters for the campaign will be
opened about August LIST, said Capt. II. Clay
NALL. secretary of the State Committee.
He added that much of the work at
headquarters would be the distribution of
literature. This, he said. would bear upon
reciprocity and the tariff, and also would
deal largely with tho free silver question.
The headquarters will probably be in the
Bank OF Baltimore building. where such
effective work was wrought last fall.
Within a stones throw of their headquart-
ers. at No. II st. Paul street, headquarters
have already been established for the conven-
ton of the State League of Republican Clubs
of Maryland. The convention will meet on
Wednesday next at Fords Grand Opera
House, and the headquarters will be opened
daily until that time for the registering OF
delegates and the completion of the program
for meeting. Since the convention at ST..
Louis the number of clubs in the State League
has nearly doubled, and new ones are con-
stantly being formed.
The ratification meeting on next Wednes-
day to follow the session Of the convention
will be the first great step in the opening of
the campaign in this state, and it is expected
to attract a large audience. Many distin-
guished speakers will attend, and Gen. Felix
Agnus will preside.

EX-GOVERNOR WIN. E. RUSSELL, of
Massachusetts who was prominently men
toned for the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency before the silver sentiment
became so pronounced in his party, was
found dead in his bed at fishing camp
near Little Pabos, Quebec, Canada, on
Thursday morning Heart failure is sup
posed to have been the cause of his death.
He was conspicuous among the young
Democracy of his State for high personal
and social qualities, and was looked upon
as one Of the National leaders of his party.

EDWARD Otis HINKLEY, the we'll
known lawyer of Baltimore: died at his
country home in Baltimore county on
Monday of Bright's disease. Mr.. Hinkley
was born in Cape Cod, Mass, seventy three
years ago. He went to Baltimore in early
life, read law and was admitted to the bar
in 1915. He had long been identified with
charitable and philanthropic work and
took high rank as lawyer.

WILL CECIL DEMOCRATS ASSIST
IN THE REVOLUTION?

1t is plain proposition in physics, that a
man can't ride two horses going in opposite
directions at the same time.
To people Of ordinary intelligence, it
would seem to be equally impossible for
any Democrat who endorsed the platform
adopted by the recent Democratic State
Convention, to approve at the same time
the Populistc platform adopted last week
at Chicago.
Placed side by side, it will be seen, that
the Baltimore convention ''resolutely op.
posed" what the Chicago convention SC
peremptorily demands.

country. 1t would be a crime to assist in

MCKINLEY ON THE CRISIS,
Patriotism is Above Party and National
Honor Bearer than Any
Party Name.

al lNaluS.
CANTON, ONO, July 12-The Foraker Club
OF Cleveland, three hundred strong, called
upon Governor Mckinley yesterday, and in
the course of his remarks to his visitors Mr.
Mckinley said:
My fellow citizens, recent events have
imposed upon the patriotic people of this
| country responsibility and a duty greater
than that of any since the civil war. Then
it was struggle to preserve the government
OF the United States. Now 1t is struggle to
preserve the financial honor of the govern
ment of the United States.
'Ihen it was contest to save the the
Union. Now it is a contest to save spotless
its credit. Then section was arrayed against
section. Now men of all sections can unite
and will unite to rebuke the reputation of
our obligations and the debasement of our
currency. In this contest patriotism is
above party and national honor is dearer
than any party name. The currency and
credit of the government are good now and
must be kept good forever. Our trouble is
not with the character of the money that we
have, but with the threat to debase it, We
have the same currency that we had in 1892
good the world over and unquestioned by
any people. Then too. we had unexamped
credit and prosperity. Our difficulty now is
to get that money in circulation and invested
in productive enterprises which furnish
employment to American labor.
This is impossible with the distrust that
hangs over the country at the present time,
and every effort to make our dollars or any
one of them worth less than one hundred
cents each only serves to increase that dis
trust. What we want is sound policy, flnan
cial and industrial, which will give courage
and confidence to all, for when that is done
the money now unemployed because of fear
for the future and lack of confidence in in
of trade.
"Gentiemen, the employment of our idle
money-the idle money that we already have
in gainful pursuits will put every idle man
in the country at work, and when there is
work there is wages, and when there is work
and wages there are consumers, who constitute
the best market for the products of our soil.
Having destroyed business and confidence by
free trade policy. it is now proposed to
make things still worse by entering upon an
era of deprecated currency. Not content
with the Inauguration of the ruinous policy
which has brought down the wages OF the
laborer and the price of farm products, its
advocates now offer new policy which will
diminish the value of the money in which
wages and products are paid. Against both
of these we stand opposed. Our creed en-
braces an honest dollar, an untarnshed
national credit, adequate revenues for the
uses of the government. protection to labor
and industry, preservation of the home
market and reciprocity in trade"

DRY GOODS.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, in its
weekly review of the dry goods market,
says: THE market during the early part
of the week, under review, was attended
by a large number of buyers and a decid-
eddy improved spot business was the re-
suit. Mail orders also showed an increase
from the augmented force of buyers on
the road. During the past two days mat
tiers have quieted down considerably. AS
a rule buyers orders, although averag-
ing larger individually in cotton goods
than before elections, have been of mod
crate dimensions and hardly calculated
to do more than take care of present and
near at hand requirements. Sellers, even
with buyers operating SO conservatively,
have made off a goodiy volume of mer-
chandise at steady to firm prices. The
tone in staple cottons at the close of the
week is quiet but prices are without
change. Print cloths have declined 16
cents and large sales have been made at
the lower figure. In the wooden goods di-
vision dress goods for spring have been
in better request, but mems wear fabrics
are still inactive"
