EDITOR DANA'S ADVICE.
Democrats Should Vote for McKin-
ley and Not Sacrifice Prin-
ciple to Party.

New York Sun: The political reasons
for not putting up an hOnest-mOney can
didate this year on a genuinely Demo-
cratic platform are strong and obvious.
The nomination of another Democratic
candidate would contribute to the per-
sonal comfort of Democrats who are re-
luctant to vote for Mr.. Mckinley, but
it would accomplish nothing else. And
this method of voting for principle only
would surely imperil the result in many
close state.
Better far to vote for principle in
a way that will count.
Every Democratic vote cast for Will
liam Mckinley as the representative of
honest money and the nations honor and
the preservation of democratic institu-
lions against the wild horde now pre-
pairing to attack them, will do just twice
as much service for the common cause
as can be done by Democratic vote for
a third candidate standing no chance of
election.
Let every Democrat who appreciates
this fact steadily in mind: His vote for
Mckinley and Hobart is worth double
his vote for the best Democrat that
the sane part of the party could put up
as protest against the inquiry consum-
mated at Chicago.
Is there any sincere Democrat who,
understanding all that the election means
for our beloved country, is willing to
cut his vote in two this year; to deprive
his ballot of one-half it's efficiency?
1t will be said that there are such
Democrats. 1t will be said that there
are Democrats who can persuade them
selves under no circumstances to cast
their votes for any Republican candidate
for President. Perhaps that is so. Let
them register their protest against Chi
cago by refusing to vote for presidential
electors. Let them concentrate their
partisan enthusiasm upon the state and
local tickets. They will help in this way
to defend the nations honor and the
continued existence of the institutions
which the regulators and the revolution
lists are assailing. They will help, it is
true, only half as much as if they voted
for Mckinley and Hobart, but they
would help not one particle more
than that by bestowing their votes upon
a sound-money Democrat nominated for
the sake of their personal comfort and
political consistency.
On the other hand, there are hundreds
of thousands of Democrats, if not mil
lions of them, who see in the present
crisis a call to duty only less urgent and
inspiring than that which summoned to
the front thirty-6vs years ago our patri-

From q Manifesto by the Illinois Sound
Money Democrats.

A national convention convened under
the constituted authority of our party
has just closed its sessions in the city Of
Chicago.
1t entered upon its work by violating
all precedents in the rejection of a dis
tinguished Democrat as its temporary
presiding officer.
1t deprived a sovereign state of a voice
in its deliberations by unseating without
cause or legal justification delegates
elected with all the regularity known to
party organization.
1t refused to endorse the honesty and
fidelity of the present Democratic ma
tional administration.
1t adopted platform which favors the
free and unlimited coinage of silver BY
this country alone at the ratio of 16 to 1,
and thereby it repudiated time-honored
Democratic principle which demands the
strict maintenance of sound and stable
national currency.
Finally, to make it palmer that, al
though in name, it was not in fact
Democratic convention, it nominated for
President one who is not in his political
convictions, and has not always been
even in his professions, Democrat. :.

From q Pamphlet Entitled "The Silver
Snake"

What has been said about the merits
of the question in a philosophical sense
is plain and seems sound, but may there
not be other reasons why silver should
be coined at the ratio of 16 to 1?
What other reasons can there be!
Well, such reasons as those given with
respect to the debtor class as against the
creditor class.
Name some.
It is said that the country for the past
twenty years has been gradually getting
into the hands of what is called, the cred
itor class, which is alleged to be a very
small proportion of the population, while
the great majority have fallen into the
debtor class and into the absolute con-
troll of the others. Now it is alleged that
these creditors, as rule, are harsh and,
practically owning the majority of the
people and able to dictate to them, are
sucking what is called the ''life blood"
out of the country.
Who are these terrible creditors who
are doing this? Name a single class.
Well, the bankers and money lenders,
for instance; the money power" as it is
called.
Then the country is gradually getting
into the hands of class of which the
bankers are the representatives, and
these vampires" are sucking the life
blood out of the country, crushing the
energy out of the people and enslavlng
them. That is the argument then, is it?
Well, you are from Rockford, Ill. Let
us take the situation right in Rockford.
That city, as we understand it, is the
second largest furniture manufacturing
place in the world, being next to that of
Grand Rapids. Now, If what is said
about the terrible class of creditors be
true, and if what is said about the awful
condition of the debtor class be true, the
tro, hlo uusf he aa annarent in Rockford
as In any other place in the country, and
there the people who have created the
wealth, the workers, are gradually be-
coming the slaves Of those who simply

Senator Palmer Out.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 11.-Senator John
Nj. Palmer has come out openly against
the Chicago platform and nominees
Bryan and Sewall. He said today that
he personally knows of 500 Democrats
in this (Sangamon) county who will not
support the ticket, and he thinks there
are twice that number who will not. He
continued:
.'No Democrat, so far as have been
informed, will support the Populist ticket
nominated at Chicago. My own plan is
that the Democrats of Illinois, i'll CO.
operation with Democrats of other states,
call a convention and nominate candi-
dates. ! favor local tickets in all the
congressional districts and in all the
counties, in order to preserve the Demo-
cratic organization"
Having thus stated his views as to the
course that ought to be pursued the
senator was asked if he thought there
was any danger to be expected from the
silver movement. He replied:
Not a particle. Mr.. Bryan Will re-
ceive the support of the semi-Populists,
called Democrats, the real POpulists who
are soon to hold a convention In st.
Louis, and those fellows out West who
have no conscience in this thing, but who
own the silver and want to sell 1t. We

ter. We will fight them now, however,
and give them enough of it.

Syracuse News: The Chicago plat
form Is vide departure from the plat
form ADOPTED by the last Democratic
state convention at Saratoga. 1t was
SO wide departure that the New York
delegation felt compelled to abstain
from participation in the nomination of
candidates on that platform. 1t re-
mains for the coming Democratic state
convention to formulate the policy of
the New York Democracy. That con-
vention, in nominating presidential cleo
tors, will point the way to Democrats
which shall lead to the preservation of
the party-the preservation of its un-
sullied honor and integrity. The party
which this year celebrates its Tooth an
