THE SILENCE OF DIsHoNoR.

A Candidate and Party Dominated by
Greed for ONCE.
There is much speculation as to the
outcome at ST. Louis, the chief question
being: Can Mckinley obtain the COW
eted nomination without committing
himself upon the dangerous question OF
silver?
We incline to the belief that he can.
The average delegate to that convention
will represent the hunger for Office
first and his own or his constituents
convictions afterward, if at all. The
platform of Senator Wolcott, of Col
orado, for silver plat torn if he can get
it, but, if not, then the next best thing,
is likely to be a popular one when the
convention assemblies.
Why should it be expected that this
convention will reverse all republican
presidents by suddenly insisting upon
principle first and the Offices after
wardso Hon. Webster Flanagan, of
Texas, was representative and a popu-
lar republican when he exclaimed in
1880: What are we here for but the
offices?" A party that has fused with
populism to secure power in the south
ern states, that to-day holds the United
States senate by a similar fusion with
the cranks and enemies of sound
finance, is not likely to leopard any
electoral votes by insistence upon clear
affirmation of the true principles Of
finance.
Mckinley has probably judged his
party Alright. We have yet to learn of a
delegate or delegation lost to him
by his straddlirg. Threats there have
been, but threats hurt nobody, anil
most of them have had a string at
tachment.
But with the people it will be differ
emit. The mistake Mckinley is making,
and his party is about to make in NOM
mating him, is in assuming that the
people, like themselves, are an organ
lied greed for office. Nine-tenths of the
people care nothing for the Offices, care
little who holds them. What they do
care, what they have insisted and will
insist, is that their president shall be
a man of convictions, with the courage
of his convictions.
Mr.. Mckinley will find that the
shibboleth of protection will not suf-
fee to bring the presidency to man
who dare not speak his mind on the
greater question of finance. His silence
of dishonor will be broken by the death.

oppoRrunlTYfoR DEMOCRATS

McKinIey's Triumph win Help the Tarin
Reformers.
McKinley's nomination is now con-
coded by every body who speaks his hon.
est thought.
MeKinley's triumph is democratic OPP
portunity
The Ohio leader represents every ele-
ment and phase and consequence of re.
publicanism that is antagonistic to de-
mocracy. His nomination will present
the issue between the parties square,
cut on every side. Twice on these issues
he and his party have been overwhelm-
ingly defeated before the people.
In 1883 the republicans carried the
country, electing their president and a
majority of congress. Mr.. Mckinley
stood sponsor for the tariff bill which
represented the policy of his party and
the claims of its campaign contrib
utors.
At the election of 1890 the people
passed Judgment upon it. They con-
verted a working republican majority
in the house into democratic ma jority
of las. They left Mckinley himself
at home. They rolled up popular ma
jority against McKinleyism of 1882, 900.
The republican contention was that
the vote was hasty. The people, they
said, had not experienced sufficiently
long the beauties of the Mckinley
tariff and the Reed expenditures. But
in 1892, after two years experience,
the people reaffirmed their verdict.
They elected Grover Cleveland by an
electoral majority of 1872 and popu-
lar plurality of 1885, They re-
turned Il democratic majority of "a in
the house. They recovered the senate
and elected majority of governors.
It was a tidal-wave submerging-
the second overthrow of Mckinley
ism.
Again Mckinley is coming before the
country as the champion of protection
though we have tariff quite as high
as that recommended by the republic
an tariff commission in 1883 and enact
ed by a republican congress.
He is to be posed as '1the advance
agent of prosperity prosperity of the
sort illustrated by the Homestead strike
and riots, by hundreds of other strikes
and lockouts, by the failure to secure
any advance in wages to accompany
the large advance IN bounties to the
protected Industries, and, finally, in the
last year of his tariff, by million work
ingmen out Of employment, an empty
treasury, dissipated gold reserve and
a monetary panic.
