What evidence have we that there IS to be a change in '96?-MOntgomery (Ala.) | Advertiser. l When a great party has reached that | stage of moral depravity that such creat- | urcs as Tilman, Altgeld & Go. are per mittcd to speak to it, much less take an Important part in moulding its politics, its course is, indeed, about run.-Wa- bash Qnd) Times. Americans will never give this crowd control of the country until they shall have fallen to the level of the old world communists That will not happen this year, at least.

 The financial plank in the platform adopted by the Democratic national con vcn;ion at Chicago is distinctly a declara- tion for such rcpudiation of existing de6ts, public and private, sas can pc country as legal tender money of de- bascd silver coinage conformed to de- ssraded standard of money.-New Dr. aeans Picayune.
 Scratch silver man and you come to a Populist. In the heart of each burns the desire to get as much as possible and give as little. If either of them hap pen to be debtor, this desire takes the form of repudiation.

 It is but proper to say in fairness and Justice to the grand old Democratic party of Hamilton, Jefferson and Jack son that we cannot depart from the ways of the fathers upon the financial question, and, therefore, cannot. much to our regret, follow the Democratic banner as it trails into foreign camp; and must, as matter of self-respect. refuse to support Mir. Bryan upon the financial platform upon which he has been placed and stands.-Dayton (O) Times.
 7fll the contest is decided our voice shall be raised and our influence given for the election of Mir. Mckinley to the presidency. The security of the cur teHcy is the paramount question of the hour. It eclipses issues. Believing that this security can best be attained by the success of the Republican party, support for it's presidential ticket in the Impending campaign. We have never believed that the Republican party made the best selection possible to it. but 1t Is difficult to see how any candid man can deny that the selection of the Repub- lican party was emincntly more fitting and appropriate.

 No reasonable man can ask the Times Nto srultify and dishonor itself and long .tiIncd Democratic principles. While sup porting to the best of our ability the state nominations for executive offices and legislative nominees, we feel assured that all true Democrats will justify us in deciding that we cannot give the sup port of the Times to the Chicago con vcntion and it's politically diseased candi date. We shall do all we can to sustain tho good name and the organization of the Democratic party, but we cannot sup

 Mckinley and the party he repre- ,sents have until now induced Democrat and indcpndcnt voters 10 look for mean by which they could avoid the necessit of supporting the Republican ticket.
