Wagging the Mastiff
Dog.
n Washington, Jan. l7.-Youf wire
was the first information I had of the
senatorial election. I deeply appre-
ciate the honor Extend my ac-
acknowledgements to our united forces.
CHARLES a. ToWNE.
Thus the silvery-tongued orator of
Duluth wired to Major Bowler and
General Garfield, who appear to have
tumbled over themselves as it were, to
notify the chairman Of the silver Re
publican national committee that he
had received the CONF limentary nom
ination of the U.lited States senator
from the minority Of the Minnesota
legislature.
The Democrats who have given this:
matter due reelection now realize that
TWAS q mistake to have given this.
mplimentary nomination to anybody
but simon-pure Democrat. The sill.
yer Republicans are a noisy lot, like
in the story, and they BAN
boozled the Democrats. who are ever
patient and slow to anger, into voting
forsone of their crowd. The tail of the
dog undertook, and very successfully,
tpSWagg the dog. If the dog has any
sense, we hope this is the last time he
will permit any such exhibition to be
made Of himself.
ss The Globe differentiates between a
silver Democrat and silver Republican.
The former is ever entitled to be be-
5ieVed honest in his convictions upon
the money or upon any other question.
The latter's honesty upon the silver.
question or. any other question is al.
ways open to doubt. We have seen for
several years the foremost silver Re
Ipablicans living without visible means
and living upon the fat OF
theland. They are we'll fed. They have
opinions galore upon any proposition
political. They travel hither and
sthither ostensibly in support of the
1cause.of silver Repub licanism Who
supports them? Who pays their bills?
III ena bles them to repair frequently
|gosloenver, Chicago and Washing tono:
We can answer none of these ques-
tions, although they are repeatedly
flung at us. by Democrats. If we
should hazard a guess, however, we
should say that the syndicate, limited,
which is deeply interested in the sill
yer output might, if put upon the
stand, answer the question. -
1t is. about time for honest Demo-
Gratis to stand up and ask themselves
how long they propose to play the
donkey and carry this load Of silver
Republicanism? f. w.: II.
Mr.. TOwne makes mistake. There
There can be no united party which
tolerates silver Republican as its
driver. Democrats are born. They
do not come up out of the mouth of the
silver pit. Their principles are not
| for barter or sale. Can as much be
said of the type Of silver Republicans
who assume to lead the Democracy OF
this State2 We wot not. We can
look to them neither.fo guidance nor
counsel. They are saturated with the
egotism of the party with which they
have always affiliated. And so, when
Mr.. Towne conveys his Fluctuations tc
q united party we simply say, eve
guess not just yet. !" +"
We know the narrow escape which
this State administration has had in
the matter Of selecting a superintend'
ent of public instruction. The candi

by Mr.. Towne and his friends was 8

the title of A. P. A. added to his name
Bigotry naturally figures in the make
up Of these silver Republicans of the
north. The Democracy may go hang,

And SO we say, "No Towne or any
|other silver Republican Of his coterie
in ours, ifyou please" If it has come
to pass that true-blue Democrats must
|split with some of the foolish allies
the sooner the better. Cut off Thu
tail that assumes to wag the dog. Thu
