CHAIRMAN TOWNE TALKS

SILVER REPUBLICAN, DaoSTo ROASTED
The Action of the Democrats in the Ohio

WarmeSt Terms.

ATLANTA Constitntion.l

There is the fullest and freest coop.
Grafton between the Democrats and their
silver allies on all matters of policy which
will advance the cause of silver. Chair
man Towne, of the silver Republicans,
showed this in an interview he has just
given out concerning the Ohio fight. He
went out there and knows of the situa-
ton. In this interview he says:
''Paradoxical as it may seem, this con-
test, resulting in the election of the arch
exponent of gold and monopoly to the
Senate of the United States, has, never
theleSs, been productive Of much advan-
tage to the cause of bimetallism and good
government. 1t has presented so con-
spicuously the methods by which pluto
cracy expects to control the country that
the patriotism and moral decency of the
bation cannot but he shocked into some
realization of the danger that threatens
its liberties. | cannot too highly praise
the Democratic members of the Ohio
general assembly for their superb con-
duct all through the fight. Their disci-
plins and unity were magnificent. Adj
mirable, too. was their readiness to
subordinate all temptation to make mere
party capital out of the situation to the
higher question of the cause and the wei
fare of the people as involved in the de-
feat Of Hanna and the election of a man
whose vote would not have been given
for the gold standard. This fact will 10
more to advance the union Of all reform
forces throughout the country and to
commend the new Democracy to the con-
fidence Of the whole people than any
other event since Blyan's nomination
The election Of Hanna by means that
notoriously shirk investigation will I'M
der all the circumstances possess many
consultations after all.
Silver Republicans cannot sufficiently
express their regret and humiliation that
a man nominally of their faith should
have been the pivot on which this in
fanny turned. We can only plead th1t
Droste was not one of the men whom
our organization requested to be put On
the legislative ticket in Cincinnati, and
that we are not fully responsible for
him. After reading his statement of his
alleged views iii the newspapers and
after having heard his early emphatic
declarations against Hanna, the infer
ence is unavoidable that he never knew
what his opinion on the money question
was, and that he ought not to be charg-
ed up TO anybody but Hanna.

Thomas Gaham. one of the Denocra tic
leaders of the Illinois metropolis and a
mem Der of the National Democratic com
mittee, is in the city.
Il think that he Democratic party
win sweep the country next year," said
Mr.. Gaham. ''In Chicago we are almost
certain to elect Democrats to Congress
in the Third, Fourth and Fifth districts,
now represented by Messrs. White, Bel
KNAPP and Mills. Outside the city we wilT
get eight or ten more. My adyices from
all over the United States is that the
tide is running strong in favor of the
Democracy.
'There will arise in the next few
years, in my judgment. conditions of
such danger and perplexity that it will
require the highest craftsmanship to re-
lieve the country from turmoil. The So
cfal problem is getting to be of more
Importance than bimetallism, or any
other purely economic question. The
struggle for existence is getting harder
all the while, and the masses grow rest
less and disconnected because they see
so little legislation enacted in their favor
1t isn't only the status of the laboring
man that is involved, despite the fact
that here is an army of unemployed men.
Men who a few years ago had consider
able property are now feeling the bitter
ness of poverty. In the expectation Of
being able to pay out they mortgaged
their possessions, and the future holds
no ray of hope that they will ever be
able to redeem them.
UNLESS something is done to remedy
existing conditions, We shall see in this
country one of the greatest upheavals
that ever shook a nation. If the bloody
scenes Of the french revolution are not
re-enacted, the American people will BE-
remarkably fortunate The way things
are being allowed to drift by our so
called statesmen would Indicate that
they do not believe the country is in any
danger, but if they got out little more
among the people they would hear a diff
ferent story.

cherished at Paris and St. Petersburg
that England, by reason of her vast
industrial and commercial interests in
the maintenance Of peace, would com
promise anything-that she would not

couraged by the long series of British
yieldings at Constantinople, in At
