DEMOCRACY OF TO-DAY.
There Is Much Uncertainty just Now
as to How the Party Is Com
stituted.

Colonel the Honorable William Jen-
nings Bryan declines to be the fusion
candidate for governor of Nebraska.
This determination is a wise one, for a
defeated candidate for governor would
not be regarded as a favorable candi-
date for the presidency, even if lie does
incarnate the leading principles of the
democratic party.
Col. Bryan represents more emphat-
ically than any other man the princi-
pies of the democratic party, and
though it is said by some time-serving
democrats politicians in this state
that the Chicago platform is a thing
of the past, it is nevertheless true tha:
every democratic state convention
held thus far-with the exception OF
that of Pennsylvania-has indorsed
that platform.
New York, which cast 551, 1863 votes
for the Chicago platform in 1896, is eX'
pected 10 repudiate that platform in
1898, not because the great body of the
democratic voters are in favor of such
action, but because it has been so de.
termined by group of politicians
some of whom refused to work for the
nominee of their party two years ago
The democrats of New York will bc
the only ones in their party placed in
that position, and it will remove the
last vestige of authority in democratic
councils that the party in this state
possesses.
On one side will be registered the de.
cision of every democratic state con
vention, including even Massachusetts
in favor of the Chicago platform. Or
the other, New York will stand soil
tary, thanks to men who have dis
graced that party in various ways.
These men do not represent the de
mocracy as ii is constituted to-day a,
does William j. Bryan.
Thus far in the campaign the de
mocracy has spoken in the states ot
Arkansas, Georgia, Illitois, Indiana
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan anC
Wisconsin, and every one has indorseG
the Chicago platform, upon which Mr.
Bryan stands. Now, whether he de
chHes the fusion nomination for gov
ernor of Nebraska because he fear:
defeat, or whether he proposes tc
make a straight fight for the principle,
embodied in that platform. is not
known, nor is it a matter of particular
concern.
But it is known that as democracy is
constituted to-day, Judging it from the
declarations made in the platform,
adopted by the state conventions
which have been held, William j. Bryan
is better democrat than the schem
ing. selfish, calculating leaders in the
state of New York who are resolved
simply to advance their own persona
interests, TO repudiate that platform
at the coming state conventions ant
stultify their own party and its works

Would Ruin His Business.

Railroad stories are all more or less pithy,
especially when told by railroad men. A
certain system running in the southwest is
known for its slow trains from one end of
the line to the other The trains are slow
enough at best, but when washouts and over
flows occur, time doubles up on engineer
tram crew and passengers. Not long ago
flood of complaints was poured in upon the
general manager of the line from all kinds
OF people who travel over this system. One
OF them came from prominent undertaken
some where in an adjacent state, and this is
what he wrote:
=. If you do not run faster trains over YOUR
line you will ruin my business. Nv custom.
ers will not ship their corpses over your
system for fear that they will not reach
their. destination before the resurrection

THE STANDARD MAINTAINED.
Republicans Adhere Faithfully to
the Principles of Sound Money
md National Integrity.

When the Indiana republicans held
their state convention two years ago
they adopted a platform in which they
declared themselves for honest
money" They announced that they
were opposed to free coinage at the
ratio of sixteen to one because it would
debase the currency, and favored the
use of silver only to the extent that
its parity with gold could 1c main
tanned. This year those republicans
take a forward step and assume po-
sition they were not ready to take in
1896. The state convention adopted
a money plank denouncing sixteen to
one" because it would "debase our
money and destroy our private and
public credit and cause general bust
ness disaster" The concluding SEN
tence of the plank is as follows:
eve recognize the necessity OF compre-
hensive and enlightened monetary legis-
ldtion, and believe that the decla aration in
the St. Louis national republican platform
for the maintenance of the gold standard
and the parity of all our forms of money
should be given the vitality of public law,
and the money of the American people
should be made, like all its institutions, the
best in the world"
This is recognition of the fact that
the existing laws, which make United
States bonds payable in coin" and
the legal tender notes redeemable in
"coin." must be amended by requiring
those payments and redemptions to be
made in gold coin" When that has
been done there will be no question
and no difficulty about the ma+nte-
nance of the gold standard. The whole
world will understand that the United
States is committed definitely and ir-
revocably to the worlds money stand
ard.
AS long as that naked word "coin"
remains in the laws, and the United
States has half billion of legal tender
silver money the bullion in which i
worth only about "A cents on the dol
lar, a Bryanite president could slump
the currency and breed a panic. 1t
would not be necessary for him to
have q Bryanite congress behind him
to enact a free coinage law. All he
would have to do to destroy public and
private credit would be to order his
secretary of the treasury to redeem
the greenbacNs in legal tender silver
instead of gold. But Bryanite presi-
dent could give no such order if the
law ordered redemption in gold coin"
1t will be the duty of congress after the
free silverites have lost their majority
,, in the senate to insert the word gold
before "coin." Then il will be neces-
sary for the Bryanites TO elect a presi-
dent and have a majority in the house
ard senate before they can tamper
with the gold standard.-ChicagC Trib-
une.
