AudaciouS DemagOgy.

For undiluted and unabridged
nerve in drawing a false conclusion
from true premise Mr.. William Jen-
nings Bryan can give even Ben Till
man or George Fred Williams odds.
Here is a specimen from his speech at
Richmond, Va, on Friday
They tell us that the election of
the Chicago ticket will drive gold
from this country. | want you to
remember that the mere nomination
of the candidate for President on u
free silver platform has been bringing
gold to this country for the last few
weeks.
The gold is coming this way to
pay for corn and cotton. That we
are getting gold, instead of having
returned to us our stocks and bonds
in the hands of foreign investors, is
not because of "the mere nomination

Ex-GON. McLane Speaks Out.

Ex-Governor McLane, one of the
most distinguished citizens of Mary
land, and aptly styled a "war-horse
of Democracy" states in letter pub
lished in Saturdays SIN that he does
not consider the Chicago convention
entitled to his respect, and adds that
if he were in Maryland at the Novem-
Der election he would vote for Mr.. Nc
Kinley. Governor McLane says he
has never had occasion before to dis
sent from the regular nomination of
the Democratic party, but the plat
form and nominees of the Chicago
convention are more than he can
endure.

reduction would run up percentages
of loss faster than a reduction in the
Democratic vote. Then, too, it is
quite likely that some, if not Ali, of
the Populist loss went to the 'Popo-
cratic ticket and made the loss Ahere
less than it would have been ware it
not for Populist help. Moreoveh, the
fact cannot be gotten away frona that
the NJ aine Popocrats had in thS vice
presidential candidacy of one of their
own party members a special hcen-
tive to poll their full strength and
when they make an unprecedented
loss under such circumstance it is
certainly proof that Sewall is IA help
to the ticket. The Populist aemand
that Watson should have his Vikings
has much force in it. The chicago
platform is Populist manifesto, and
both candidates should represent its
principles and purposes.

"What is the Democratic Party?''


The above question was asked by
the Democrat last week and in trying
to explain what that monstrosity is
copied from the Washington Post a
long article in explanation but which
does not explain worth a cent.
The same question was asked true
Democrat of Oakland by the editor of
this paper, and his reply was as fol-
lows:
so you want to know what the
Democratic party is? Well, if you had
asked that question prior to the Chi
cago convention it would have been
easily answered. Now, however, it is
as hard to answer as it is to find a
free silver Republican. My idea of
what the Democratic party 2CGS is
this: 1t was heir to the principles of
jefferson and Jackson and you all
know what they were. Since the old
party was captured by the Populists
at Chicago my candid opinion is that
there is no Democratic party. 1t is
the Popocratic party and its princi-
pies are that of the anarchists, social
lists and bomb-throwers. 1t has ar
rayed itself against the courts, the
only body where justice can be done.
Remove the power of the courts and
you have country where riot, muir
der and arson will rule. This, (the re-
moval of the courts) is what the party
is pledged to and if the leaders of that
party are successful in being elected
this fall you may look for an era of
lawlessness and crime equalled only
by the riots in Chicago and elsewhere
when Socialist Debs had men ready
to cut their fellow-beings down by
the beck of his tinger.N

a Family Ouarrpl,

The Popocrats and Populists are
having a little controversy of their
own over the Maine returns. The
Populists argue that the returns show
that Sewall is Jonah, who should be
heaved off the ship. The Popocrats
reply that by the same showing Wat
son is a Jonah, for if the Popocratic
vote was knocked to smithereens, so
was the Populist vote. But the
smashing process was more complete
in the case of the Popocrats than in
the case of the Populists. The Popo-
GRAFT vote was about 40 per cent. less
than the Democratic vote in 1892,
while the Populist vote fell off only
26 per cent. Since the Populist vote
was much smaller to begin with, any

The Mine Owner and Free Silver.

1t is claimed by its advocates that
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to I would raise
the value of that metal from the pres
ent price of about 643 cents an ounce
to just double, or $1.29. They claim
that if the Government should agree
to take all the bullion at that price
nobody would sell it for less; and,
therefore, that a gold reserve would
be unnecessary in order to maintain
the value of the silver dollar at par.
The silverites make the mistake of
starting with the wrong premises, and
build their argument on an insecure
foundation.
fla free silver law should be passed
the duty of the Government would be
simply to take the bullion and coin it
into dollars, giving back these same

the growing confidence that the can
didate for President on free silver
platform will be overwhelmingly de-
feated.
What is to be thought of a candi-

stupid enough to believe what Mr..
Bryan asserts or who, knowing better,
makes such an assertion?
