and might prove disturbing to the bust

retard the business revival,

We observe that the Hon. George Fred
Williams finds it just as hard to stick to
the truth this year as he did last In his
Fanueil hall speech he said:
The Republican party in 1896 went to
the people with an apology for the gold
standard. and promised to the people of
une country the restoration of bimetal-
ilsm through the instrumentality of an
international agreement.
1t is not true that the party went before
the country with an apology for the gold
standard. and there is even less truth in
the statement that it promised bimetal-
ism through an International agreement.
how far from the fact Mr.. Williams got
viii be seen by referring to the Republi
can platform, which is as follows:
The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. 1t caused The enact
ment OF the law providing for the re-
sumption of specie payment in 1879; since
then every dollar has been as good as
gold. We are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase our
currency or impair the credit OF the coun-
try. We are therefore opposed to the free
coinage of silver except by international
agreement with the leading commercial
nations of the world, which we pledge
ourselves to promote, and until such
agreement can be obtained the existing
gold standard must be preserved.
There is certainly no apology here for
the gold standard and no promise OF
binetallism by International agreement.
The promise and the only promise is 'to
promote" an agreement; that is, to work
for it. This the Republican party has
done through commission appointed by
the Mckinley administration. However.
George Fred has the excuse for wab-
bling from the truth that if he stuck to
1t he-could not have much to say, and
talk he must,

DR.. S. q. Gordon thinks ex-Gov. Boies
is mistaken in saying that the Chicago
platform has had it's day. The Doctor,
while admitting that there were errors in
it, thinks the sentiment in its favor is
not diminished throughout the country. u
The Doctors diagnosis would have been
of more value if he had pointed out
what the errors consisted of. It would
have been more cheering to the patient
too, If he had declared that he thought
the sentiment in favor of the platform
was growing.

If Gen. Tracy is elected Mayor of New

ly be made the official organ OF his ad-
ministration. Any other course would be
the basest ingratutude. for the Sun is

persistency quite extraordinary. If sup,

licanism, it is the only Republican paper

The most impressive thing about Sena-
tor Germans letter to the editor of the
Baltimore Sun is. the cool assumption of
ownership Of the Democratic party of
Maryland contained in it, with the hope,
no doubt, of demonstrating that he can
run the.party better than the Sun editor he
offers to turn 1t over to the latter temper
arily and let him try his hand. There
does not seem to be the remotest suspicion
on Gorman's part that the party may not
be transferable simply by an instrument
drawn up and signed by himself. Evil
