A secret meeting of the new re-

opposed to the craftsmanship OF

the French building. The question

on both sides, and considerable
illfeeling was engendered. Nc
action was taken. The meeting
was largely attended, but the place

CONCERNING the howl of the gold
organs that the "silyer craz9n is dying
the Cincinnati Enquirer has this to say:
1t is not true that the silverites are
falling from grace and are becoming
more and more a hopeless minority.
They are watching the trend OF things.
When an old democratic leader like
Blackburn, Of Kentucky, whose fealty
to party has never been questioned,
fails Of reelection to the Senate be-
cause OF his advocacy of free silver, and
bis defeat is comprised by Cleveland
and Carlisle, it is notice to the rank
and Tile of the democracy that the de-
liyerauce Of party convention is not
binding.
TWAS expected that the republican
members OF the legislature would unite
with a handful of sound money!
Democrats and elect Carlisle to the
seat so hOnOrably and ably filed by
Blackburn. This course would have
been consistent with the rule adopted
by the gOldbugs. When such men as
Cameron, Teller, Stewart, Jones and
Carter announce their intention to
stand by silver, and the omenous ST.
lence Of Mckinley and the other pres
idential aspirants on the subject is
considered, 1t is reasonable to conclude
that all is not serene IN the republican
ranks and that the silver lunacy. in
stead of being cured, is developing
new symptoms and has become chronic
and is contagious.

TIE Boston Herald OF February 18th
in its Washington dispatch touching
upon the allotment of the last bond
burden imposed upon the wealth Gre
ators, observes:
The classification of the successful
bids for the bonds, according to the
sub treasures at which payment is to
be made, shows that SS7,32l $50 Of the
principal will be paid at New York,
s., 900 at Boston, S2,S97 900
at San Francisco, 81 ,669, $50 at Chicago
2,3S1 800 at Philadelphia, and smaller
amounts at other sub treasures.
With the audacity which character.
ICES the gold organs, the Herald hast
ems to assure its readers that these
figures are no indication of the geo.
graphical distribution of the bonds. -
To men who do not think, and who
are always ready to echo what is put
in their mouths, the Herald's sophistry
may be satisfactory, but l do not imag-
inc that the gold organs of the East
for a moment imagine that the bulk of
the wealth Of the nation is not concen-
trated in the hands of metropolitan
and eastern capitalists. Oas of $780,
100000 bonds, according to the Her.
AIDS dispatch, sS7,32l 40 was to be
placed in New York, and s.. I22. 900

The State Journal walls in this way;
There is little doubt that the Massa-
chusetts convention voiced the senti-
ments of the element which is in con-
troll of the party policy throughout the
East. New York Is more conservative
in It's expressions, but that was only a
matter Of policy. Western republicans
now know what they must encounter
at st. Louis and should be prepared to
meet it. The party, If forced to sacri-
fee anything for the sake of principle
can better afford to lose the East.
which is always uncertain ut best, than
the West, which is safely republican
under any ordinary circumstances. On
a platform that would enable the dem
ocrats to carry any eastern State, the
republicans would carry two for one
among the doubtful States in the West
and South.
We sympathizs with the Journal in
its grief. 1t seems to genuinely wish
for free silver. 1t has intelligence
enough to know a straddle when it
sees one. 1t would like a clear, plain
silver declaration az st. Louis; but as
surely as the world moves, its wishes
will have the substance eternally
squshed out OF 'em on that great day.
About July or August we expect to
see the Journal so hObbling silently,
YEARLY, into camp, eating crow and
probably declaring it is good.

PRESIDENT CLARK of the Union
Pacific expresses the opinion that Con-
gress will take no action on the Pacific
railroad debt settlement question at its
present session. If correct, this means
simply that this matter is to be dragged
along and if acted on at all by this
Congress will be rushed through under
high pressure at a short session just
previous to a change in administra-
tions. A bill dealing with such i'm
portant interests passed under circum-
stances such as these cannot be ex-
pected to secure due consideration
from the representatives of the people.

IT is seldom that an old party paper
10 as frank open and sensible as is the
Oregonian when it says: "FOr the free
silver man, whether he pretends to be
a republican or democrat, there is no
logical stopping place or ground to
stand on short of the pOpulist camp.
There is where he belongs, for the pop
ulist party is the only party that has
committed itself on any national plat
form to free coinage of silver. When,
therefore, men who insist on free COIN
age Of silver like Hon. G. z, Yates, Of
Washington county, and Hon. Sylves-
ter Pennoyer, of Multuomah county,
take formal leave Of the republican
and democratic parties and cast their
lot with the pOpulist organization, they
do a logical, necessary and streightfor-
war thing. The populist party is the
silver money party"

TnoMAs B. REEDS presidential boom
was formally touched off at the repub-
Iican convention Of Massachusetts the
other day. 1t was no grip sack affair
packed with African delegates but a
genuine music hall hurrah by the very
elite Of prim and saucy Boston doncher
know? Up there they evidently think
with Grover Cleveland that no silver
sentiment exists except away out on the
sage brush and jack rabbit frontiers
where the daily diet OF the inhabitants
is six shooters and bowie knives, and
their political needs are young peoples
Endeavor societies and missionaries.
They were therefore no. afraid to speak
on the money question and did so in
language that can for the most part be
understood. THE parity" "interns-
.ional agreement" and lone Kind Of
money as good as every other kind"
phrases preceded and followed by Ian
guage that can be clearly understood,
and from the COMPANY they keep there
should be no difficulty in Judging what
they themselves are. The following IS
the money plank in full:
We regard the silver agitation as
hurttul TO business and destructive OF
confidence, and as has recently been
shown, hostile to all tariff legislation
designed to give protection to our in
dustries and revenue to our treasury.
We ara entirI;;y opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver; and to
any change in the existing gold stand
ard except by international agreement
each dollar must be kept as good as
every other dollar. The credit of the
United States must Oe maintained at
the highest point so that it cannot be
questioned anywhere, either at home
or abroad. Every promise must erig.
idly kept and every obligation redeem
Oble in coin must be paid in gold.
We are opposed to the unsound and
dangerous system Of stare banks. We
support the national banking system
and bslieve that it should be so amended
as 10 give il room for expansion and
opportunity to meet the demands Of the
growing business and population Of the
country.

FLYING rumOrs are never given the
acceptance accorded to news direct
from the seat of war. Concerning the
alleged and disputed alliance between
the manufacturers of Philadelphia and
the republican silver senators, as re-
ported in their conference q few weeks
ago the American, published at Phila-
delphia has this to say:
Whatever may become Of the
House, there is no immediate prospect
Of the republicans being able TO con.
troll the Senate without the votes Of
what are called 1.-THE silver senator's. +"
Even the most optimistic gold men in
the party cannot hope to achieve this
for years to come; and IN the meantime
there is the probability of division in
the party during the coming presiden.
tlal campaign, in case the national
convention should show itself so far
complaisant to the gold party as even
to evade the bimetallist issue. The
manufacturers have had ample OppOr-
tunity to observe the effect of our
present monetary policy upon the
prices Of commodities and the condi-
lions of trade both domestic and for
eign. 1t was most natural for them to
seek to understand exactly the posi-:
ton of the senators who have taken
this stand on behalf of silver; and also
to ask III what way they could work to
avert the practical shipWreck Of the
party. With the exception Of few
gentlemen who had made up their
minds on the other side of the case,
those who attended the conference
were impressed with the strength and
the determination of the party in the
Senave and they came back from
Washington with much liVeliev sense
OF the dangers which beset the party
than seems to be entertained by any of
its nominal leaders.

THE republican Napoleon in his
campaign in that portion OF Africa
which lieth in Texas, seemed to run

his marshals rose from the floor of the

speakers platform with pistols, fists,

great loss of noses among their enc
mics, but all the blood, hide and valOr
