A new hope has thus sprung up suddenly
in the mind Of a Democratic Journal Of Con-
necticut, the Hartford Times:
"f BETTE Low IL elected Mayor Of New York this fail

1900"
1t would look queer. indeed, II q purl-
tnnically stern movement to separate NUM-
cipal affairs from national affairs should
turn out TO be In fact but q part Of a ma

Silver Republicans and Gold Demo
Gratis.

The Silver Republicans of Colorado held
their State Convention last week. Senator
TELLER is the leader in that State Of this
party, which comprises the majority of
those who were Republicans up to 1896,
while Senator WoLCoTT is the leader of the
minority, called Mckinley Republicans.
Efforts were made by the latter to induce
the former to cooperate with them in State
elections, but the efforts met with absolute
failure. The Colorado Silver Republicans
are determined, as their resolutions say,
"to oppose affliation with any organiza-
tion which does not stand with us upon the
questions Of bimetallism, which we regard
as of controlling and paramount political
Importance" They especially oppose
utilization with the present Republican
platform of 1896 hat it is opposed to the
free coinage of silver"
A candidate for Supreme Court Justice
was nominated. 1--WE recognize" says the
platform, THAT n judicial convention
should be, as far as practicable, divorced
from politics, yet we desire to place our
selves on record as being unqualitiedly in
favor of the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 10 to /, without waiting for the
will or consent of any nation or country on
EARTH" The nominee for Justice Of the
Supreme Court has ever been an earnest
advocate of the free coinage of silver
The Gold Democrats are respectfully re-
quested to observe that the Colorado Silver
Republicans insist upon carrying national
issues into State and local elections. When
national issues are to be decided at a national
election these Silver Republicans do not
consent to become an inglorious and useless
third Marty, or fourth, fifth or sixth party,
but vote with the party which agrees with
them as to the silver question, which they
regard as the chief political question to be
decided. Senator TELLER and his friends
are strong protectionists, but the Demo
cratic programme of a tariff for revenue, the
income tax, and even the disordcrly and
sinister parts of the Chicago platform could
not keep them from voting the Democratic
ticket. They threw away details. The
Democrats agreed with them as to the main
thing. That was enough.
Both in national and State and local pol
itics the Silver Republicans ought to be q
lesson to Gold Democrats.

inE's injudicious habit Of letting his voice

Tho Issuo OF tho Year.

The following interesting correspondence
between the Chairman Of the New York
Democratic State Committee and ono of
the three Democratic State Committeeman
in Erie county happened to be printed In
yesterdays SUN: -
"Etltot DdnJorth, 800 Brodd,cdv. Nsp Yorh:

principles Of the Democratic party as enunciated at
che last Democratic National Convention.
"ELIior DNvToRTH."
Interest Is thereby renewed in a statement
Of Mr.. DANFoRTH's concerning the same
important subject printed In the Erenin0
Post Of Aug. 20:
II made n trip through the state lately and found
that many Of those who were loudest for . demand
for an Endorsement Of the Chicago platform caro-
moro for what might call Organism than for free
silver. That is, they like BRYAN and what he repre-
sents generally, and arc not particularly devoted to
the fr~ee-silver cause. These men look up to BRYAN as
the great champion Of Democracy. the strongest man
in the party. and they believe In him more than in
any financial doctrine.'
This may enlighten the National Demo-
Gratis Offering to vote for Tammany's can
didate provided silver isn't mentioned in
the platform. Silver or no silver, there re-
mains Organism or the Chicago platform,
indestructible before 1906 without the con-
vocation of the Democratic party in ma
tz. --.-..,, .~l kha -1atfNrrn'o Tow
NAL Reputation by the body that made 1t.
Another opinion Of Mr.. DANFoRTH's in
the same interview contained instruction
for the New York city advocates of " mu.
nicipal issues only. 81 suppose" said Mr..
DANFoRTH, "that most of the county con-
ventions in the interior or the State will
indorse the Chicago platform but the lead
ers up there tell me that they recognize the
great Importance Of Democratic success in
Greater New York this year, and will not
do anything to prevent 1t. Those leaders
were willing to let the Greater New York
members of the State Committee arrange
the programme"
For the coming election in the Greater
New York the Democratic leaders in New
York State, and Tammany Hall and the
Citizens Union in New York city, are in
harmony for municipal issues only" and
for the same purpose. In no other way can
they defeat the party opposed to Organism,
the Republican party, of the ST. Louis
platform for honest money and social order.
The great issue is that of the st. Louis
platform against the Chicago platform.
Republican politicians who think Of slur
ring it for local profit are guilty of treach'
cry to the party on which the entire con-
%servative sentiment of the country relies
for the country's salvation.
