THERE is now some talk to the effect
that if the silver delegates to the ma
tional conventions shall be bought, as
some of them have already been. those
who elected them, of both parties, may
nominate Senator Teller for President.
If that be so, and their candidate be
elected, the South would not have as
much cause for sorrow as the North,
and would be relieved of the danger of
the force bill, for Mr.. Teller said that
bill was the most Infamous that ever
reached the doors of Congress.

MONDAY EVENING, MAY IS, 1896.
Nor ONLY do some of the anti-silver

Nor ONLY do some of the anti-silyer
democrats of Richmond threaten to de-
sert the democratic party ifthe chicago
convention shall not nominate goid
man for President, but those OF the
North are doing likewise. One OF their
organs says silver nominee could not
carry a single Northern State, as the
sound money democrats of the North
would refuse to vote for him." 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful, in view of the condi-
ton to which the democratic party has
been reduced by the course OF the
present administration, if any man
nominated by the Chicago convention
could carry single Northern State,
and the New York organ referred to
should know it is the South, and not
the North, that supplies the votes that
elect democratic Presidents. 1t should
also know that the evil effects OF force
bill in the South would necessarily re-
act injuriously upon New York.

MOST OF the few really wise and pa
triotic men of the country know it
would be conducive to the welfare and
prosperity of all the people thereof, if
the national conventions of both the po-
litical parties should declare for the
gold standard of value and against de-
preciated currency. But they also
know that pronounced silver Presi-
dent, opposed to the force bill, would
be infinitely better for the people of the
whole country, and especially for those
of the South, than an advocate of that
bill, who is afraid to avow his opinions
on the currency question.

THE NEW YORK World threatens the
democratic party with bolt, if the
nominee of the national convention OF
that party be silver man, but says ut
is not the custom of democrats to bolt,
except upon the gravest provocation
and in the last extremity" The World
supported the democrats who bolted
the democratic convention of its own
city and State, and gave the govern
ment of both to the republicans, and
though it now regrets, and with good
cause, that it did so, its present threat
to bolt, again In case the majority OF the
Chicago convention shall not agree with
its views on the currency question, is
only natural, Though it is not the GUS
tom of democrats to bolt" as the
"higher law" idea is as prevalent in
the North now as it ever was. Higher
law and democracy are not compatible.

REPORTS FROM Richmond are to the
effect that some of the business men Of
that city will not take part in the cleo
ton of delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton, for the reason that if the nominee
of that convention be opposed to the
gold standard, they will not support
him. Well, as public meeting of the
business men" of Richmond once de-
clared that boycott on business
man" of their city should stand, be.
cause that man very properly insisted
upon conducting his own business in
his own way, the reports referred to
are by no means strange; nor, indeed,
as frequently said before in these
columns, is anything that occurs in
Richmond nowadays at all surprising.

visions, and holds both candidates and

money expended by them. and in ad'
dltlon the candidate is obliged to state
under oath whether any money has been
contributed or expended or promised in
his behalf by any other person. The ex

For 5000 voters or less, 800; for each
100 voters over 5000 and under $4,000,
$l.5O; for each 100 votes over $4,000 and
