THE REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION
AND SILVER.

In his speech as temporary chairman
of the Republican city convention, Mr..
E. B. Critchlow said that city could
not coin money at the ratio of Is to /,
or at any other ratio No doubt this
was said as a sort OF excuse for omit
ting from the platform all reference to
the silver question, for if reference had
been made to it either have been nece5-
sary to indorse the administration or
a declaration in favor of free COIN
age would have had to have been
made. And If cities could coin money
and they were under the rule Of Re
puolicans who believe in the declara-
tons of the St. Louis platform. they
would not coin silver at the ratio of 16
to l to gold or at any other ratio, I'm
less with the consent of the leading
commercial nations. The Republican
party is in control OF national affairs
but there is no more chance for it
adopting a free silver policy than there
is for England doing the same thing.
There is no place for a, declaration in
favor of free silver in any Republican
platform. and so there is none in the
city platform Of the Republican. party
in Salt Lake City 1t is somewhat sur
Drising. though that the Silver Re
publicans in the convention did not in
sist on a declaration on a subject that
they consider to be above all others in
Importance. Can it be that they are
turning their backs on silver? We
should dislike to think so yet their
non-action seems strange.

PARTY RESPONSIBILITY.

There is some confusion of ideas in
the minds of some as to the RESPONSE
bility Of public officials to parties and
to the public The non-partisans argue
that officials elected as candidates of a
party feel responsible to their party
and rot to the public. They are wrong.
They feel responsible to both. They
feel that they are responsible to the
public and that upon public approval
must depend their future political sue
cess, if they have any ambitions that
way. They also feel that they are
responsible to their party which must
also rely upon popular approval for
continuance in or restoration to power.
Then the party placing candidates in
nomination in the field feels a respon-
sibiity to the people, for a party is a
continuing thing. and it knows that
upon the successful administration of
public affairs depends its future wei
fare. And the people hold it respon-
sibIe for the kind of nominations it
makes.
In the non-partiSan movement who
would be held responsible for the nom
nations of the committees candidates,
should they be elected and their ad-
mini5tration should be d failure? Only
the members OF the committee could
be held responsible and as their asso-
citation is only temporary they would
not be held responsible. Who is held
responsible for the last non-partisan
city government? To hold anyone re-
sponsibIe for a lot Of bad nominations
there must be a permanent political
body This the non-partisan committee

The Buffalo Express of recent date
says; AT Trappe. near Pottstown,
Pa, man has been terribly tortured
by masked robbers to extort money
from him. Near Erie a rich farmer
and his son were recently left bound
in a burning barn by gang that had
previously tortured them to extort
money from them. The old man saved
himself by promising to ransom his
life and that OF his son. He has since
become almost erazed with terror. He
has received letters from the gang
threatening him unless ne has the
money forthcoming. and has become so
alarmed that he has gone to Erie and
asked to be locked up in jail in order
to be where the robbers cannot reach
him. The victim seeks Jail for protec-
ton while the miscreants remain at

-Inctdents like this are becoming
alarmingly frequent, especially in the
rural portions Of Pennsylvania. They
prove again the urgent need for a
