BEWARE THE GREEKS.


The Nashville American seems to
rejoice over the cowardice of the
Maryland Democrats. 1t seems that
the Marylanders in making their
platform for the state campaign the
other day, said nothing about silver
or bimetalism, and of course this
delighted the American, notwith-
standing its weak and treacherous
professions of allegiance to the
Democratic party. OF course, it
might have been more honest and
brave in the Maryland Democrats
to have expressed themselves on
this question; but as the Democrats
of the State of Maryland in state
convention, in travail to redeem
the state from Republican rule, were
more interested in state issues,
it is but natural that they should
have made state affairs the promi-
nent feature of their platform, and
=
They did well i'll declaring them
selves so fully on state questions.
They would have done better had
they declared themselves still in
line with the principles of the party
as expressed in the Chicago plat
form. For such cowardice as theirs
gives courage to the enemy and par
ticuly rejoices such false friends as
the American.
The American commends this ac-
ton, or rather non-action, to the
Democracy of the nation, and family
hopes for victory if this say, moth
ing policy is pursued.
Our esteemed contemporary poses
as Democratic newspaper, while
it persistently opposes the Demo
cratic platform. 1t is always whin
ing and complaining about the atti
tude of the Democratic party on the
money question. 1t is constantly
making mean and contemplate
filings at Bryan. 1t seeks by simu
lated fairness and broadness t,
poison the minds of its reader
against the principles of the party
its acknowledged leader and logica
nominee in 1900. For if there is any
thing certain, it is that the Demo
cratic party is in favor of the fire
coinage of silver without the aid OIL
consent of any other nation, and Mr.
Bryan is the very personification o.
this principle. And, despite tn,

bugs, and the proud mans contume
