LAWRENCE, Feb. 21.-The senior law
students of the state university wanted to

come. He says that inasmuch as the

Ingersoll to speak he could not accept
the invitation. 1t appears they are great
friends.

Ohio.



Our energetic democratic senator
(Brice) has boldly announced that the
Ohio state convention of the democracy
will be bound to the chariot wheels of the
gold standard money brokers of New
York. He has not used that language.
but that is what man means when he
says he is for sound money He means
that he wants the greenbacks redeemed
in gold only, and he wants the green
backs retired because they are redeem
able in gold, and he wants some other
paper that will not be redeema BILE in gold
so that the gold standard may be main-
tanned without any gold. That is the
Sound money" programme. The great
masses of the democratic party in Ohio
believe in the greenbacks and will not
consent to have them retired. They be-
lieve in gold and silver. to be freely
coined at the mints, and used for the
legitimate purposes of redemption, with
out any preference of one over the other;
and they do not believe in any kind Of
new-fangled irredeemable paper curren-
cy by banking corporations. They are
invited by Senator Brice to trial of
strength with him and those who follow
him. The issue is a plain one. Free
coinage is the only sign by which the
democratic party can conquer In 1896.
Every southern state Is keeping step to
this music. All Of the far west is doing
the same. All the states in which there
will go to the Chicago convention with
solid silver delegations. Their political
brethren in New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware
will favor gold standard platform. To
adopt such financial plank would be to
tie milestone around the neck of the
party and throw 1t into the sea- 1t, is
for the northern central states to prevent
this suicidal policy. Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois should stand together with their
friends in the west and south. Under
such a policy every democratic populist
will return to the democratic fold. I'm
der such policy republican silver men,
driven from their own party by the hide
bound gold policy sure to be adopted, at
st. Louis, will follow Senator Teller in
his refusal to support goldbug ,oandi-
date, and will decide whether they will
vote In the air or vote with the democrat
&c party. The prospects of the democrat
ic party have never looked better In May
of presidential year than they do to-
day. The gold power is fully aware that
IL the national convention can be cap
tured by the agents and representatives
of Wall street, republican success will
be assured. Every democratic gold
standard man prefers republican success
this year, because he knows that demo-
cratic success can only come through
the silver policy. For these reasons the
silver democrats of Ohio have only to
find out what the goldbugs desire and
go against It, Never advise with your
enemy as to how you can best whip him.
Such is the object lesson OF the Michigan
state convention.

There was a reminder of the scenes
and experiences of the Fifty-first con-
gress today when Mr.. Picker republic
can, OF south Dakota, who was unable
yesterday to secure as long a session of
the house as he desired for the consider
alton OF private pension bills, made the
point OF no quorum before the journal
OF yesterdays proceedings was read.
tlfteen minutes passed before 179 MEM
pers appeared, and then Mr.. Picker in
sisted upon having the journal read In
exteaso, including the names of the abb
the pro forma suggestion that the Journal
be considered as approved, requiring a
vote upon the question. THROUGHOUT the
session Mr.. Picker demanded the reeu-
lar order at every opportunity, finally ex-
planning that he was moved thereto by
the hope that the house would thus find
time to consider private bills.
Mr.. Payne, republican, of New York.
called Mr.. Pickler's attention to the fact
that his action tended only to defeat his
expressed purposes. inasmuch al those
bills could be taken up only by unani-
nous consent.
This Mr.. Picker interpreted to veil a
threat that unanimous consent would
not be given and remarked that he "ac-
cepted service"
