NO NOMINATION UNTIL THURS
DAY.

The Republicans here expect that in
asmuch as McKinley's nomination is
conceded that he will be nominated as
early as Wednesday. In this they are
mistaken. His nomination will not be
reached before Thursday, and possibly
not until Friday.
The convention will not convene until
Tuesday noon. After the temporary
organization is effected it will adjourn to
Wednesday. There will be considerable
hobnobbing on the platform over the
silver question, and more or less time
will be consumed in settling party rules
and methods. Senator Quay will make
an attempt to change the ratio of re-
presentation allowing one national
delegate for every 1000 Republican voters.
This will call forth spirited and long
debate,
National conventions usually meet on
Tuesday and a nomination is reached
before Friday. Four years ago it took
but one ballot to decide the contest at
Minneapolis, but Harrison's nomination
was not reached until Friday. In 1888
he was not nominated until Friday,
although the convention convened on
Tuesday. In 1884 Blaine was not nomi'
mated until Friday.
The same thing is true of Democratic
National conventions. Cleveland was
nominated on the first ballot four years
ago, but that ballot was not reached
until Friday. McKinley's nomination
may be reached on Thursday of next
week, but not before that time and
possibly it may go over until Friday
The Canton Republicans, who were pre-
pairing for demonstration on Wednes
day will have at least one days more
time to work at it and make it all the
creator success. The Democrats vii
have the benefit of lots of music and rec
fire at the expense of the Republicans,

THE GANGS TACTICS.

When the de faoto central COMMITTEES
met ON Thursday number of things
were changed. At the meeting on May
12 a resolution was passed which provided
that regular ballot be prepared for the
use of the voters containing the two fol
lowing propositions, viz;
'For the free and unlimited coinage OF
both gold and silver" and the other,
"For the single gold standard, The
resolution further provided as follows
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-06-18

DISCUSSIONS and predictions as to a
bolt of the goldites or free silver men
from the Democratic National convention
are not wholly necessary. 1t is not the
custom of Demo rats to bolt. The dis
ruption OF the national organization at
this time would put very heavy re-.
sponsibility upon those accountable for
it. From present appearances those
who favor the use of both silver and gold
as standard money, and the restoration
of silver to free coinage, will control at
Chicago, and it will be the duty of the
advocates of the single gold standard to
submit to the majority, accept the situa-
ton as cheerfully as possible, and fall in
line for victory over the common enemy,
the vicious Republican party. Such a
course will be Democratic and Right.

We wish to call attention to a few
things tor the honest voters (NhO cant
he caught with chaff) to think about.
We " i'll simply quote and let the reader
Judge for himself. The republican plat.
form lor log6 says:
I'VE are, therefore. opposed to the free
coinage Of silver except by international
agreement with the leading COMMERCIAL
nations Of The world, which We pledge
ourselves to promote. aud until such
agreement can be obtained tue existing
gold standard must be reserved"
VIM. Mckinley SAID in Canton Sept.
25ih:
We must have in the United States an
American policy, a policy that will take
care of our own, that will defend Oui
own. Ii We do not do that, nobody Will
do it fer u.s."
The Spirit Of The Talley says in Sept.
25th, issu,;
"The Republican party is for bimctall
ism - and tnat ITS leaders agree with
the most profound thinkers upon thi,
snhiect in the opinion that bimetalllsm IL
The best and safest system"
Mckinley has lately said that he b -
lie, ed in the gold standard.
The Spirit also 'raps" the following:
"rhe Republican party, headed ~
Mckinley aud Hobart, Is opposed TO The
single GOLD standard. but favor tie use
of both metals as money"
Yet Hobart just recently argued for the
gold standard in his letter OF acceptance.

caused by the reduction in the tarln.
When you consider that the reduction in
the tariff was only about seven per cent
and that the tariff which we now have is
higher than any which we heretofore
had, except the Mckinley tariff which
was in force but very short time, you
will readily understand thatit is the cry
OF the demag0gue and not that OF the
statesman. These demagogues will
one day lament over the decrease OF
revenue and the next day will be she'd
ding tears over the increased importa-
tons which bring increased revenue.
Their cry is hypocritical and insincere'
The Bryanite demogogue will tell you
that the industrial depression is caused
by the gold standard; that the dollar
which we now have purchases too much,
that it is too good, thatindustries Will De
started by having cheaper money ana
that the way to get it is to require the
u. S, Government to convert all the
silver obtaiuable into money, that not
more than 50 cents worth OF silver. at
prescn. market value, must be put into
dollar; that the silver mine owners VIII
in this way have more money than they
can use and that we will certainly get
some of it. They don't tell you that
such radical change in the currency
will destroy confidence, produce panlcs'
stop exchanges, close factories, sui
further depress agriculture and bring
upon us general generalization OF trade
ruin. and disaster. If history teaches
anything, it teaches Ibis lesson. Times
are now depressed but the suffering
which our people now endure is nothing
in comparison with that which, in our
opinion. would be brought upon us by
those who are advocating the indepch-
dent free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer at l6 to l..
The bare threat of free silver has de-
pressed trade OF all kinds and has put
sudden stop to all enterprises which
would distribute money among the
masses. We are suffering now because
men are afraid to invest capital i'll the
various kinds of business which would
create an increased demand for all pro-
ducts. We are i'm the hands OF dema-
gogues of the worst type and the only
relief is i'm stamping such parties out OF
existence.
