in the fight for gold, and honesty. Mr..
MeDermotts speech in behalf OF Hill was
the first speech delivered in the convention
ard II was a good beginning. OF course
the struggle was a hopeless one. and the
expectation of any very good result in
the long run seems vain. But the strong
er the protest made now against Altgeld-
ism. the more basis will the party have
for recovery. later on.
For the present. on the whole the best
thing that can happen is the EXTREMIST
victory of the. silverites. This. we say,
because a gold victory is impossible, and
because a compromise is likely to be
neither conclusive nor satisfactory. A
silver victory in the Convention must at
least result in the settlement Of this pre-
posterous question. With a halfway
platform and a halfway candidate the
result in November, whatever it may
be- remain meaningless. If the Democ-
racy should win, the Silver men would
say the victory was due to silver, while
the Gold men woul say it was due to
gold. If the Democracy should lose, the
Silver men would say it was because the
party did not come out hat-footed for
silver, while the Gold men would insist
il was because there was any silver at
all in the combination.
II IS. Of course, a pity that the Democ-
racy should be wrecked to prove the
arithmetical fact that fifty does not
equal a hundred: but Democracy will not
be permanently wrecked. True principles
cannot be dragged down by accidental
error hooked on to them. Their operation
may be embarrassed for a while. but pres
entity the error rots away and leaves the
truth buoyant as ever.
