THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION.

ernor Tyler OF Virginia, had declared in
favor OF purer suffrage. 70 which the
Pe.crslnrg Index-Appoal replies:

as being a severe arraignment Of election

Appeal SAYS. it is only an Inference after

ne has said nothing and we fear that ne
will say nothing. Nobody knows from
what he has said whether or not he is
satisfied with the Virginia election law
as il now stands on the books. Is the
Governor willing to leave the matter
thus in doubt?
The Index-Appeal then goes on to say:

TROIRLE IN KENTUCKY.

The Louisville Dispatch, the organ OF
the free silver forces in Kentucky, says:
Kentucky has more factions and more
political feuds than ever before ex-
listed I'm any State IN the Union. These
factions and feuds pervade both political
parties. and they are subdivided into a
thousand minor factions and smaller
feuds. until the state is thoroughly disor-
ganized The Democratic party was in
fairly good fighting condition in the State
but the compromlsers and trimmers have
been at work harder since the election TO
divide the party than they were before
Democrats should look out for traitors
and stick 10 the fundamental principles
Of the party.
Is It possible? We had supposed, from
what We read in the Bryan newspapers
of the recent victory in Kentucky" that
the traitors and renegades" had all re-
pentod and come back into the fold, and
that free silverism was fourishing as
never before. Now we are told that the
"trimmcrs and compromisers' are at
work-against free silver of course-and
that the party is torn TO tatters.
If this paragraph from the Louisville
newspaper means anything a. means
that free silver is weaker in Kentucky
now than it was before the last State
election and that efforts are making 10
find platform upon which all true DEM
ocrats can stand.
To that end is the Louisville Evening
Post working as may be seen from the
following:
II the friends OF tho party can he induce
cd to consider the vote in the Electoral
College Of 1896, they will realize the ne
cessity OF so modifying the Democratic
platform that 10 will more directly appeal
TO the support of the united Democratic
party Certainly TO exchange the whole
central West and the Middle States Of
the East for a few Populist States OF the
far West is not good politics.
The movement TO get the party together
was begun in New York and it is spread
ing. Let Democrats unite with themselves
and not with Populists is the battle cry.
and the forces are rallyng TO the cry.

"a FOOLS ERRAND."

Senator NoIcOtts account Of his fools
GRAND" abroad in the interest Of Inter
national bimetallism" is pathetic. on
the one hand. he tells us there were the
statements Of the New York bankers that
the mission was sent solely as a sop TO a
few far Western Republicans; that the
country generally favored the gold stord-
ard. and that the President Of the United
states shared this view.
on the other hand the commission was
attacked from time TO time by statements
from free silver extremists, insisting
that our efforts were sham and pretended;
that we had no hope or expectation Of
success: that the President was secretly
opposing us: that &c was a disgrace 10
our country: that we were permitted to
invite other countries to Join us in open
minis: that It was humiiaung. that We
were even consulting any other country
on the subject: that failure was inevi-
table. and the sooner we came home the
better. II was q new and somewat ludi-
crous view of the silver question that
made it humiliatng.
IT was undoubtedly humiliating' but the
critics on both sides told the truth The
whole thing was farce and every whit
insinccrc. II was sop to the silverites
and while some Of the credulous swal-
lowed il down. the majority repudiated
IT from the beginning.
But we cannot find 1t in our heart to
condemn Mr.. Wocott for his part in the
farce. Poor man. he believed in 1t and
with the simple faith Of devotee to pet
theory. took for encouragement every
diplomatic assurance Of the foreign pow
ers that they were disposed 10 do some
thing towards a larger use of silver as
money metal Mr.. Wolcott should now
take "a much needed rest and feed his
mind with some such book as the Vicar
Of Wakefield
But there was one thing in the 'ac-
count" which calls for reply from Pres
ident Mckinley. The reporter tells us
that at one point i'm his narrative he zee
ferred TO the attitude of Secretary Gage

on this point being as follows:
"Nhen Congress convened ON December

spoke earnestly and anXiously Of his de-
sire to- see international bimetallic agree

over the country. and seemed final and
conclusive 10 those who had claimed that
the President was not i'm earnest i'm his
efforts toward international bimetailism.

had again and again been made TO know
how genuine was the Presidents devotion
to this settlement OF the veXcd question
Let Mr. Mckinley speak out who repre-
sents his position on this question, Mr..

to know.
