Free Coinage In Ohio.

Denver Republican (Silver Rep):
From present indications it is evident
that the Ohio campaign this year viii
turn upon the question of free coinage.
The Republicans have already held
their state convention, and have en-
dorsed the St. Louis platform, which
means the maintenance of the single
gold standard.
The Democrats will hold their state
convention on Wednesday, and as all
the delegates to that body are in favor
of free coinage there is no doubt that
the Chicago platform will be endorsed.
or that the fight between the two great
parties will be made on the money
question.
Some doubt is expressed as to the
course that Will be adopted by the Sill
yer Republicans of Ohio in the cam
paign, but we are inclined to believe
that an overwhelming majority of them
will support the Democratic ticket, re-
gardless of any attempt that may be
made to maintain a separate Silver
Republican organization.
If all the free coinage forces unite
there is a chance that they may carry
the state by a safe majority in Novem
her, but they cannot hope to do it il
there is any division in their ranks.
The Ohio Republicans, with Mark
Hanna at their head as a candidate
for election to the United States SEN
ate, are we'll organized, and will have
unlimited money at their command.
There is a possibility, of course, that
the Foraker men nave prove lukewarm
or openly hostile, in view Of the fact

Progress of Coercion.

Indianapolis Sentinel, ISL. Dem.) The
spirit of the holders and managers of
concentrated wealth in this country is
again manifested in the decision of the
trustees of Brown university TO ask
President Andrews of that institution
to modify his free silver views. This
show of ignorant and stupid intolerance
on the part of wealthy men is but a
repetition of what was shown in fore
ing the resignation of President Bemis
from Chicago university on account of
his gallant stand against monOpolies
and the corrupt control Of legislative
bodies by corporations-Of what was
shown in forcing the resignation of
William P. st. John from his bank po-
sition. 1t is no new thing, but ii is a
disposition that has been growing, or
at least its manifestations are growing
more open. 1t is the revelation of the
purpose TO control this country by in
timidating the intelligent and buying
the ignorant. If there is anything that
can cause the patriotic American who
has heretofore supported republicanism
TO halt and consider to what it is bring
ing the country. surely this must do so.
And this persecution seems to be gen
eral in the sound money" hotbeds.

| that they were turned down without
mercy in the recent Republican state
convention. but we fear that the free
coinage forces have not much TO eN-
pect from that quarter Foraker and
his followers VIII probably take their
medicine. because at heart they are as
eager supporters of the single geld
standard as the McKinleyites and the
Shermanites and the Hannaites.
The bimetallists must depend for
success upon a thorough organization
of all the elements opposed TO the
money power, and in this they should
be heartily aided and encouraged by
the free coinage forces in all other
parts OF the country.
If the Republican ticket should be
defeated by good majority in Ohio
this year the way would 0e paved for
a great national triumph for free coin
age in the congressional elections of
next year, and the presidential and
congressional elections of 1860.
Ohio, while ordinarily a Republican
state affords as fair a fighting ground
as can be found for the rival forces at
the present time, and the moral effect
of a victory for free coinage in the

Ex-Governor Roies.

Ogden Standard Silver): Ex-Gov-
ernor Boies of Iowa is out in a letter
IN which he attempts to tell the silver
men of the country of the mistakes
they have made. Boies has never been
recognized as a strong silver man. in
fact, he has been accused of knowing
as little about the financial question as
does Comptroller Eckels and display
ing his ignorance in quite as unenvia-
bic manner. When a man claiming to
be fit material for a presidential can
didate says he is a silver advocate.
but is opposed to the present ratio. he
proves himself to be both a presump-
tuous fellow and one entirely ignorant
of the money question. Governor Boies
has dropped himself into oblivion.

The Tariff Bill.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat Gold
Rep): The tariff bill. of course, in all
it's schedules, does not satisfy every
could possibly be framed so that it
would please every member of the
party which supports il. The best that
can be done III the case of tariff
measure which touches nearly every
important interest is TO arrange it so
that it will be more acceptable to the
party which has 10 defend it in can
vases than the measure which 1t dis
places. Unquestionably the present
bill Will meet this requirement. 1t will
be the best measure which can be had
under the present conditions in the
senate, in which body the Republicans
are not in a majority, but have TO get
two or three votes from the other ele-
ments in order to pass any partisan
measure
The bill will be more acceptable to
the country than the act which it SUI
persedes This is the fact of decisive
Importance. 1t WILL as the Republic
ans believe produce sufficient revenue
to meet all the expenses of the gov
eminent. 1t will, as every Republican
thinks prove fairly acceptable as
protective measure to nearly every in
terest which needs protection. AS a
consequence. the Republicans want to
see it passed at the earliest practicable
day. Upon this measure, the Repub-
licans feel, they viii stand or fall in
the congressional election year and
third hence, and perhaps in the presi-
Dental struggle two years later. But
they have no fears at the outlook.
Their representatives in congress, the
Republicans of the country believe, are
framing as wise a measure as is pos
sible under the circumstances, and the
verdict of the people on this measure,
which will be rendered next year, the
party awaits with confidence.

Breezy Political Comment
from Various Points
Of View.
The Republican Confidence Game.

The Republican Confidence Game.
Cincinnati Enquirer, ISL. Dem.): We
told the people of the United States
that we would seek by international
agreement to settle the veXed question
Of the currency. and President McKin-
ley had not yet been sworn into Office
by two long months until plans had
been perfected which afterwards were
executed by a Republican congress,
and a monetary commission was an
pointed with a view to negotiations
looking to securing an international
agreement. if possible, to settle this
question of the coinage OF the world
General Grosvenor's speech
And never was such a confidence
game played upon any set of people IN
the world as that contained in the
pledge above alluded to, and the ORE
tended ful6ilment of it. You might as
well have promised to secure an agree
ment with wolves that they would not
again eat lambs, or with foxes, that
they would not eat chickens, as to
promise to secure an agreement from
the English government to agree TO in
ternational bimetallism- There was no
good faith in the pledge. 1t was an open
and rancid fraud-a threadbaFe cheat
which had been doing duty as a gold
standard weapon for just 20 years. The
trainers Of the pledge knew that it was
as hollow and worthless as an old jail
birds promise OF reformation. IL was
an insult 10 the intelligence of every
man whose vote it was intended to af
feet. OF course Mckinley went through
the motions of sending Wolcott, Stew
ems and Paine TO Europe to Interview
the wolf in behalf of the lamb, and
the fox in behalf of the chicken. and
OF course the president knew that this
performance was a sham and an impo-
sition on the people of this country.
lad there been the least danger of Sc
curing an agreement the bill creating
the commission to secure il would not
have received a single vote from the
senators or members Of congress whom
the president could control. Does any.
body suppose Wall street has any fears
that Great Britain viii agree to BIZ
metallism on any terms? The question
answers itself and laughs at itself for
having been asked. BimetalliSm
through an agreement with Great Brit
ain would be like prohibition with the
consent Of the liquor dealers; or like
free trade 10y the consent of Mckinley
and GrosvenOr; or the abolition of the
18th amendment by the consent of the
colored race; or the freedom of Cuba
by the consent of General Weylar: or
the adoption of independent bimetal-
lism by the consent CT John Sherman.
Such cheek was never exhibited by any
association of men as the Republican
prstense that interna tional bimetallism
subject to British consent, is a conces-
sion TO the silver coinage element of the
United States. False in one thing, false
in all. How is a party TO be believed
that deliberately brands itself with such
a palpable fraud? We are glad that
General GrosVenor called attention TO
it.

altogether probable that by the next

troit paper argues. the ticket should

The Coming Issue.

Farm, Field and Fireside ISL. Ind.):
According to the New York Sun
(Democratic) hundreds of Democratic
journals have come out for protection
Some have been studying history and
have learned that jefferson was
protectionist; that even Old Hickory
was a protectionist, and that, coming
down to a later day, another great
light of Democracy, Samuel j. Tilden,
was protectionist. Now all this
would not mean much except that ii
shows that the tariff cannot long re.
main a bone of contention between the
issue. What shall it be? We reply
that if the great body of the Demo-
cratic party shall continue with such
leaders as Hon. W. J. Bryan on the
money question, and if the greater
part of the Republican party shall be
willing to follow the leadership of
Hon. Mark Hanna and Secretary Ly-
man ]. Gage in adhering to gold mono
metallism, the cleavage is sure to come
on that issue; free trade and protec-
ton will be dead party shiboleths and
the money question will be the one on
which the parties will divide. In that
event the American people will be
called upon to decide in 1900 whether
this country will return TO bimetallism
or shall adopt as a permanent policy
the single gold standard.

A Political Trust.

St. Louis Republic ISL. Dem-) A:
Among Republicans who are thinking
about the future the most significant
thing in the Ohio convention was not
the Endorsement of Senator Hanna for
the senatorship, but the complete cap
ture of the Ohio Republican organiza-
ton by the Hanna forces.
Colonel Dick, who was elected to the
Craftsmanship OF the state committee, is
the right hand man of the Ohio boss
and was appointed by him secrtary OF
the National Republican committee
shortly after the close of the campaign.
Dick is in position to do Hanna's work
in two capacities.
In the national committee Boss Han
ma has things we'll in hand. He packed
il with his friends when the committee
was chosen at the national convention
and it is noteworthy that several men,
bers of the committee have been re-
warded with good PAGES and that the
patronage of the various states is con-
trolled by committee members. 1t is
charged that there is compact by
which the monopoly of the patronage is
secured to the committee and the solid
arity of the committee for mutual
benefit and the welfare of the Hanna
machine is guaranteed An illustration
OF the way IN Wnlcn the power Oh the
patronage is welded by the national
committeeman has been given in this
state by Colonel Kerens, whose in
dorsement is necessary for a chance at
the smallest piece of pie.
Knowing Hanna's methods, not much
guessing is required to foresee the CEN
tralization of party power in commit
tee trust Each state is to be captured
as Ohio was captured, with the central
committeeman as the supreme boss. 1t
is the application of the syndicate idea
to politics, and if the plans work out as
Hanna intends, the next Republican
national convention will be run by the
most perfect machine that ever was
constructed. Boss Hanna will be the
sole dictator of the Republican party.
