SILVER OR SILENCE.
An Alternative Confronting Dem
cratic State Committee.


The Democratic state committee will meet
tomorrow at the Grand Hotel to fix the
dates for the reorganization meetings of the
party soon to be held. In the reorganiza-
tion this year there is no question about
the meE who will officer the committee, for
Parks NJ. Martin will be made chairman
and Joseph l.. Reilly secretary but there is
already much discussion of whether or not
the silver question shall be ignored.
If the matter is forced to an issue now
the primaries and district conventions will
adopt silver resolutions, but those ''con-
seryatives' who swallowed silver and Bry-
an under protest for the sake of regular
ity," are hoping that it Will not be forced
to the front. They believe that the silver
craze is dying out so fast that if it is al
lowed to smolder now, by the time the state
convention comes around the party will
have recovered enough common sense to let
it alone and thus open the way for the
gold Democrats to come back to the fold.
This faction is pointing to the success of
such a movement in the city campaign.
While it is true that there was silver
plank in the city platform they recall the
fact that the silver extremists, commonly
known as the push" were sat upon and
kicked out of the party councils with ex-
ceient effect upon the result. They declare
that little of this same treatment accorded
to Allen w. Clark, John Gilbert Shanklin
and few other silver extremists through
out the State will have very saiutary ef-
feet upon the party

forced an entrance. They found Moody and
five other colored men sitting about the
room reading and playing a short game

with keeping a gambling house and the
others with visiting.
