Georgia to vote the straight ticket, and
1t is now announced, with some appear
ance of authority, that Mr. Hoke Smith
will take the stump in Georgia for Bry-
an and free silver, if he has to resign a
cabinet position to doiit.
1t is not because the position which
Mr.. Hoke Smith abandons is ours, and
that which he Welcomes with open
arms is one tawhieh we are opposed,
that we stamp his conduct as infa-
nous, and consider that he. has. fallen
to as low depth sof degradation as
a man in pubic life can reach. We
would say exactly the same thing if Mr.
Charles F. Crisp were to come
out tomorrow with a declartion
IN favor of the gold standard
and against free coinage, pro-
vided there were attendant circum-
stances which indicated that Mr. Crisp
had been impelled to this act by mo-
tives OF self-interest. Every man has
right to act according to his opinions
and to change his mind when he Is
convinced that he has been in error; but
Tor man to advocate ardently In the
press and on the stump one monetary
system, and within thirty days change
front, turn tail, and prepare to cham
pion the opposition with equal fervor,
although nothing has happened in the
party and his state that makes 1t to
his interest to do so, will never com
mend him to self-respecting men.
Nothing has happened within the last
month or two to overturn the eonvic-
lions of any man who held them as the
result OF investigation and study. Men
are changing their minds every day
on this currency question. We hope
that a great many more will change
between this and November. But it is,
and will be, in their case, the result
of seeking for and obtaining greater
information than they had before. For
all such converts we entertain a high
respect, even when they attach then>
selves to what we believe to be the mis-
taken side. Sincerity is always adnira-
bic, and when there goes with 1t the
element of self-sacrffice for the sake OF
+ devotion to principle, It touches upon
that quality Of personal courage in man
that has always commanded the admir-
alton Of the world.
Mr. Smith, as we understand it. and
as far as any representations have been
made thus far, does not pretend to
have found new light upon the subject
He at least allows It to- be understood
that he advocated one set of principles
because they were those of the admin
istration, of which he was a member
and it was the appropriate thing at
that time for him to do That adj
ministration is SOON to go out of power
and there is no chance, politically, ap-
parently, for Mr. Smith, except to ally
himself with those who hold opposite
opinions. Therefore, he is going In for
Mr.. Bryan, free silver and all the rest
Of tt, not because he has changed an
fota Of his opinion Of it's effect upon
the country, but because he has ar
rived at a hvelier sense Of it's probable
effect upon Helse Smith He appears
to have justified his name
