GOLD, YELLOW gold, is, always was
and always will be, the best of al
money; but when it has to be taken
with a high tariff, q force bill and re
ssriction of personal liberty, most
Southern people would prefer silver
especially as they haven't seen gold
money for years, and have managed to
worry along pretty well without it. The
free coinage of silver is now prohibited
but if any one imagines that gold is the
circulating currency of the country, he
will be disabused of any such idea al
once. by going to any bank with check
and asking that it be paid with GOLD
coin.

THE PROTECTED manufacturers, the
Office holders, whose tenure, under Mr..
Cleveland's rules, is for life, and the
millionaires who object to paying 3
small share of the expense incurred by
the government in securing and pro-
tecting their property, who, though
calling themselves democrats, have
bolted the ticket nominated by their
party, will fad on election day that
they constituted but small part of the
democratic party, and that their oppo-
sition to the ticket is one OF the great
est elements of its strength.

THE New York Herald, speaking Of
the ticket nominated by the national
democratic party, says;
"a shot as dangerous and reasonable as
that fred on Sumter in 81 is heard from
Chicago. 1t opens an attack on the honor oil
the flag and the credit of the nation. 1t Is
the sound for call TO every loyal citizen and
true American to rally in defence OF the
country. Overriding the defenders OF de-
mocgacy and the national honor, the JacobinS
of the West and South have raised the flag Oh
silyerism, populism and communism. These
are crimes against the nation, as secession was
In such crisis parties and politics must give
way to loyalty and patriotism, as they dld
when the shot of secession fell on Sumter. Ii
isa time for democrats and republicans 10
Law aside all party differences aud personal
preferences and unite against common foe,
as thew did in 81. 1t is time for all loyal
citizens TO show themselves true Americans,
to place country above all else and TO rally
for its flag, its fair fame and its safety.
When the people of the South, upon
whose vote, ever since the war, has de-
peuded the only hope of the demo
cratic party, read such utterances as
this by widely circulated Northern
newspapers, it would hardly be natural
to suppose that they will desert their
own people and follow the Northern
boilers into the ranks of the party that
even yet, thirty years after the war,
evidently nurses the animosities OF that
war, against them.

NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEET
ING.

The old democratic national commit
tee closed its work and adjourned sine
die Saturday night, and Immediately
thereafter the new national committee,
which is to conduct the coming cam
paign, met for organization. The meet
ings were held at the Palmer House in
Chicago, both of the candidates, Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Sewall, being present
by request to arrange the details of the
meeting Of the committee on notifca-
ton. Mr.. Harrity expressed to his as.
sociates his regret at retiring from the
Craftsmanship, after four years of such
agreeable labor. General Blair, OF
Kansas, offered resolutions expressing
the thanks of the committee to MIR.
| Harrity for his ability and impartiality,
and to Secretary Sheerin for his efficient
service. Complimentary speeches were
made by several others, after which the
resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Ex-Chairman Harrity then called the
new committee to order and he was
chosen temporary chairman. There
was a wide range of discussion as to
| the manner of conducting the campaign,
the general sentiment being that it
should be an aggressive contest and
that the war should be carried into
New York and New England from the
outset. Mr.. Bryan spoke and approved
suggestion which had been made that
the exercises attending the notification
of candidates could be held with advan'
tage in Madison Square Garden, in
about three weeks. This was the
place where the exercises were held
| four years ago, when the committee no.
tilted MIR. Cleveland of his nomination
Sewall also spoke expressing his readi,
ness to enter into the campaign work
whenever the committee desired ii
should begin.
Governor Stone, Senator Pasco,
Chairman Harrity and others urged
an early and vigorous opening OF the
campaign, and the sentiment is now
general that the eastern States should
receive full attention.
As to the choice of national chair
man Mr.. Bryan waived the usuab,re-
rogative of a candidate tame the
head of the COMMITTEE and asked
l that the committeG&andie these exec
tive affairs entirely as they saw fit. A
ecess was then taken.
At the night session Senator James
(. Jones was elected chairman OF the
ew democratic national committee.
t had been generally understood for
ONE time that he would be selected,
Though not member. The new
hartman was called in, and made q
peech, saying he was deeply sensible
f the honor, and accepted the position
ecause of the interest he felt in the
ause ofsilver. Senator Jones was di-
ected to-select an executive committee
f nine members, of which he should
70 chairman, and was given such time
S he desired. He was also empower
d to select temporary secretary. 1t
, understood that the former secre-
ary, MIR. r. S. P. Sheerin, of Indiana,
vii be appointed. The subject of
eadquarters was discussed, but it was
ecided to defer the selection until a
ubseuuent meeting, the temporary
eadduarters in the meantime to be at
UGH place as the chairman should des-
5nate.
