A Mischievous Movement.

The Executive Committee Of the body of
Democrats who call themselves the Ma.
tional Democracy lately resolved to concen.
trate their efforts in the coming State cleo.
tions in Kentucky, Iowa, and Ohio, believ-
ing that there the gold Democrats can
make their most striking demonstration.
The vote for the Palmer and Buckner
ticket last year affords little ground for
present h%opefulness, for it was less thar
one per cent. Of the total vote. Undoubt-
eddy, large numbers of Democrats In all the
three States voted directly for MCKINLEY
as the best way of defeating Organism I;
but IL their continuing purpose is to beat
1t, common sense must teach them that the
only practicable way Is to continue their
temporary alliance with the Republicans,
instead of undertaking to beat about the
bush by supporting the National Demo
cratic ticket. whose election they know to
be impossible. 1t Is the squarer way, and
the only effective way of doing the Job.
Moreover. there Is no valuable and ten.
able principle represented by the Indian.
apolis movement which gives 1t practical
distinction from Republicanism as the DO.
litical situation now Is. The tariff declar.
alton of that platform was squarely neg.
atived by a Democratic Congress and Ad.
ministration. What absurdity to proclaim
the doctrine of "a tariff for revenue only."
In the face Of the Wilson tariff, with its
enormous deficit, the great consequent in.
crease OF the bonded debt, and the incidental
business disaster How u%navailing would
1t be after the experience of Democratic
protection sentiment In the present Con.
gress The people are thoroughly tired of
the tariff question. They do not want 1t
stirred up again, and any new proposition
OF a general tariff bill will provoke uni.
versal protest. The Indianapolis Democrats
can make nothing by tariff agitation.
The currency now Is the dominating and
absorbing issue. and the Indianapolis cur.
rency declaration would sink any party
which ventured to make a campaign upon
1t. In substance, 1t Is to retire the green.
backs by the Issue of bonds, upon which
the banks are to issue the paper currency
and take the profits. The mere statement
of the proposition Is enough to assure its
defeat by the people. Only ruin is In II,
ana Its Injection into a campaign as an
issue can only serve the interests of BRYAN.
Ism. The people will not tolerate it.
What reason is there, then, for the Demo.
cratic opponents of the Chicago Democracy
to change next November the course which
the great body of them followed last No.
vember, with the consequence that BRYAN.
Ism was defeated1 BY using the Republi.
can party as a means of smashing the Chi.
cage platform and restoring the Democratic
party to Its old-time conservative principles,
they can accomplish the result without
committing themselves to the doctrines
~propounded by a volunteer convention of
Democrats. who had no representative
authority.
The time for such al enterprise as was
started at Indianapolis has not yet come.

They arc not afraid and not ashamed to
declare the false faith that is In them.
Contrast with them the contemplate

heresy Of Organism, which have the i'm
pudence to parade their cowardice and
treachery by undertaking a casulstical de-
fence Of the Maryland platform as a denial

What hope is there for tho Democratic
party when Its principles are thus torn into
shreds by Populistic usurpers OF Its author.

TOPEKA, July 27.-Trstimony was taken to-

The former Board OF Pardons refused him o
