ATLANTA'S DRUMMERS.
They Refer the President smith Mat
ter to the State Board.

ter to the State BOnrd.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 3.-rhe Atlanta drum
mers. composing Posts and F of the
Travellers Protective Association, met
again tonight and discussed President f.
e. Smith. AT their meeting last Saturday
night they were unable to agree as to
whether President Smith should be declar,
ed hors du combat on account of his re-
moval from the state, and a committee
was appointed to report on the matter to-
night
The result Of to-nlghts discussion was
the passage of a resolution referring the
whole matter to the state board of direc-
tors, calling upon that body either to rec
ognize ]. E. Maddox of this city, second
vice president, as president to succeed
Mr.. Smith, or call a convention of the as
ISOLATION for the purpose of taking action
The Augusta post met tonight and took
similar action, which was communicated
to the Atlanta posts
Under the state of affairs it will rest
with the directors whether there will be
a convention to say whether the Office of
president is vacant and elect a successor
or whether Second Vice President Mad
dox the next in line, shall be recognized
in authority without taking such a step.

POST Z FALLS IN LINE.
They Pass a Resolution Asking
President Smith to Resign.

President Smith to Resign.
Augusta, Ca. Sept. 3-Post e. Protec-
tive Travellers Association, held meeting
tonight with the result that Augusta falls
in line with Atlanta, Savannah and Co
lumbus regarding President e. E. Smith.
The president didn't seem to have but
one friend in the meeting. He characteriz-
ed the action as unconstitutional. But
The post didn't look at it that way.
John Conlon introduced a resolution
that inasmuch as President Smith had
moved 10 Chicago, and was where he
could give the affairs of the state asso-
citation little attention, he be requested
to resign his position. The resolutions
viii be copied and mailed to Mr.. Smith
at once. Members here feel assured that
he will resign and are anxious that he
should.
While they based their resolutions on
the fact that President Smith had remov-
ed from the state, ii was evident that he
is unpopular with Post E. 1t appears now
that the action of the state board was
the result of a misunderstanding. The
Morning News correspondent is told that
when the matter first came before the
directors most of them were willing to
act. But one Of the board after listening
TO friends of Smith, backed down and
carried the others with him. No member
of the state board present at the post
meeting tonight failed to vote for the
resolution asking President Smith to re-
sign

the people when it came to making
nominations for public office. The rea-
son was that the committee did not
believe the people could be trusted to
make nominations that would be agree
able to it. Finally election day came.
and the non-partisan nominee for
mayor was elected, also two or three
non-nartisan rcmi-ees for counciimen,
and the non-partisan candidate for aud
itor. With this result the non-partisans
became very arrogant, talking and act
ing as though they had swept the city.
During the campaign a machine"
was formed to push the fortunes OF the
non-partisan candidates. There was
no difference at all between the ma
chine" so formed and that formed by
any other party; in fact, its personnel
was largely composed Of those who had
been prominent as members of other
machines" When there was change
OF administration and Mayor Clark sue
ceeded Mayor Glendinning, the MEM
bers of the non-partisan machine" be-
gan TO look fer their rewards, and the
mayor has been bestowing them. No
body Dresumes that between Mayor
Clark ard the members of the ma
chine" that worked for him there were
any definite bargains struck, that any
OF them had such a bond as Shylock
had of Antonio, such bonds are rarely
seen in practical politics, for they are
more dangerous than double-edged
swords or ur,oaded firearms. While
there was no such bond as this. there
was between Mayor Clark and those
who conducted his campaign that bond
of common sympathy which exists in
all political parties; working for COM
mon cause creates it.
1t IS natural that the mayor should
wish TO reward his political friends, but
when it IS done it should not be done
under the pretense of a higher patriot
ism than others possess. People are
not deceived by such pretense. and it
simply disgusts them to have the nom
rartisans talk about machines" when
the non-oartisan machine" was in
tended to be the largest and most COM
plete ever seen in this city, and eventu-
ally in the state. Democratic and Re-
publican machines" are in no respect
any worse, if so bad. as the non-parti-
san machine"

DEMocRATs AND SILVER.

The Tribune has never been able to
reconcile itseIf to the fact that the
Democratic party champloned, in ITS
national platform, the cause of free sill
Yer, and it never admits the fact in u
manly, generous way. In its issue of
yesterday morning it has something to
say about the course of the Cleveland
administration towards silver That
course met with much heartier endorse
ment from the mass of the Republican
party than from the Democrats. If our
contemporary will take the trouble to
trace the position of the Democrats and
the Republicans in congress on the sill
yer question from the 18th day of Feb
ruary, 1873, to the present time, it will
find that the Democrats have stood
more unanimously and continuously
for silver than did the Republicans; the
votes viii show this.
The silver question never assumed
the Importance of a national issue I'M
til 1885, In that year it was the para
mount issue, and so strong did the
people feel on it that political parties
felt that they must define their posi-
tons towards it in their national plat
forms; and they did. The Republican
convention declared fairly and squarely
against the free, unlimited and indie
pendent coinage of silver without the
consent of the leading commercial ma
lions. The Democratic national con-
vention declared fairly and .quarely for
the free, unlimited and independent
coinage of silver without waiting for
the consent of any other nation. Do
not these two declarations show as
plainly as possible what the attitude
of the two parties towards silver had
been? The Republican party was his
torically opposed to it; the Democratic
party was historically in favor of it.
The Herald has never maintained that
a man cannot be a silver advocate I'M
less he is a Democrat, but it has main
tanned and maintains that the Demo-
cratic party is where all silver men
should be if they hope TO accomplish
anything, for silver.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-03-15

The council will meet tonight, and
there is some interest as to what ac-
ton it viii take regarding the nomi-
nation of Mr.. John T. Caire to be su-
perintendent OF waterworl.s. 1t is
hardly probable that any action viii
be taken. The reasons why the noIni-
nation should not be confirmed have
been stated by The Herald, and it is
not necessary TO repeat them now.
The nomination is really astonishing
in view of the position taken by the
ron-partisan committee on the question
of accepting office. Whatever may have
been the mayors pledges. certainly the
committee was pledged not TO accept
Office. Not only this, but it is currently
rumored that very extraordinary eff
forts have been put forth by the mayor
and others to secure the confirmation
of Mr.. Game: it is even said that coun-
ciimen could secure mayoralty favors
in exchange for votes for confirmation.
What people cannot understand is why
these extraordinary efforts are being
nut forth. and especially in view of the
fact that all the members of the nom
partisan committee were pledged not
to accept office. The people expect
