they will not join the church
already established whose
doctrine is by them indor-
sed, but instead call on the
members of the established
church to come and 20 with
them. It is true that the
new converts have seemed to
find pleasure in characteri-
zing the indorsers of the
presidents policy as John
Sherman democrats, but
since the passage Of the free
silver bill by the upper house
OF congress, which has a plu-
raIity, and indeed was organ
lied by the party of which
John Sherman is an honored
member, it is hardly proba-
bic that the free silver press
will succeed in its endeavor
in causing the people to be-
lieve that the republican
party, as a rule, is against
their petprinciples of finance.
Though the free silver re-
publicans and free silver
democrats are a unit on the
financial question, since going
to the "mourner's bench, it
is nevertheless true that in
stead of joining the church
in unison with their senti-
ments, each faction seems to
prefer to remain in the
churches that they were mem
bers of before becoming
"mourners. But a day is
coming when the members
from the north, south, east
and west will assemble, and
doctrines will be formulated
and passed. At that time il
will be seen whether or moi
there is Il sufficient number
of new converts to declare in
favor of free and unlimited
coinage without the qualify
ing clause, that the purcha-
sing power of every dollar
must be the same in the mar
kets. The indications are
that neither of the old par.
ties will renounce the princi-
pies concerning the financial
question, so long advocated
That neither will declare in
favor Of a cheap and fluctua-
ting currency but in favor Of
a sound and stable dollar
with the purchasing power
the same in all the markets
If so, going to the "mourn-
ers" bench will again be in
order.

THE fact of there being in
this state, so far, only one
announced candidate for gu
bernatorial honors cannot be
rightfully attributed to the
want of available material, or
because OF the indlsposition
of men to enter the political
turmoil. But the true cause
is found in the fact that time
has wrought changes that
have not redowned to the
welfare of democracy in the
Volunteer State. While it
may not be said that a nominal
ton by the democracy for the
responsible position is an
empty honor, nevertheless
since the spirit of discord has
resulted in dividing the par
ty, a nomination is no longer
equivalent TO an election. Its
evident that neither faction
of democracy can elect a can
didate, therefore unless a plat
formagTeeable to both factions
is adopted, it is not probable
that any one competent to
fill the office acceptably will
seek the nomination. But it
is not yet too late, if wise
counsel is favorably acted
upon, to adopt a conservative
and judicious plan that would
insure success.

IT is difficult to imagine
how a party could be placed
in a more vulnerable attitude
than to be confronted by
two platforms-one warning
against the other. Such
would be the predicament of
the Tennessee democracy in
the event of a platform being
passed by the state conven-
ton declaring in favor of the
unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of is to 1 and the
national platform inveighing
against that policy. 1t would
be very difficult to 's.reconcile
the two announcements.

THE declaration of the free
silver journals that when
there is rise in silver, there
is also an advance in cotton,
is not sustained by facts. Sill
yer is now quoted at 20 cents
an ounce, a price greater
than at any time within sew
eral months past, while cot
ton is about one cent a pound
lower than when silver bull
lion was quoted at 81 cents
an ounce. But while cotton
has decreased in price, there
has been advance in the price
OF wheat. So if the advance
i'm silver affects prices at all,
in raising the price of wheat
it has lowered the price of
cotton. If the theory of the
silverites be true, silver is in
deed a queer commodity.
