The temporary chairman, Congress
man Payne, after referring to the vic
tory of the Republican party over the
Democratic-Populist combination two
gears ago, said:
Now, ear friends, the enemy. tell us
that they have lost all interest in ma
tional affairs. They propose to make a
campaign on state issues solely. They
evidently fear to face the people on
their national record. Having no re-
cent record on state affairs they are
willing 10 go before the people on that
issue We win meet them on state
issues if they desire. We shirk no re-
sponsibility IF mistakes have been
made, a Republican executive will be
swift to correct them. But we will not
permit these matters TO overshadow
the paramount national questions that
are before US. They say there are no
national issues. No national issues?
Why, we are to elect a United States
senator and 81 representatives in con-
gress, who will deal with questions as
important as any that ever received
the attention of the national congress.
THE Teller resolution declared that
all our national obligations, both bonds
and greenbdcks, were payable in silver
dollars. It's avowed purpose was to
make deprecated 16 to l silver dollars
legal tender in discharge for national
obligations. and to pave the way for
unlimited coinage of these dollars. This
resolution passed the senate by large
majority, and was defeated in the
house by the Republicans.
1T is unnecessary to say that the
Democratic senator and every Demo-
cratic representative from the state of
New York We're recorded in favor of
this proposition, and the Republican
sentative were recorded against it. 1t
is vain for the Democratic senator's
convention, which meets in Syracuse
tomorrow, to say thai there are no ma
tiOnal issues involved. He himself is
a national issue in this election, and
we propose TO settle the national issue
in favor OF national honor and honest
