just as they treated it in 1896.
~"
1t is not at all creditable to the honesty
and ability Of the dominant influences in
the silver wing of the democracy that
present conditions exist. Through their
own acts the free coinage democrats have
made it possible for the gold wing of that
party to hold the balance of power. Had
they rallied their forces after the defeat
of 1896, with a view to holding the silver
strength Of the country intact, regardless
of all other questions of a public charac-
ter, they could have kept the issue aflame
IN the hearts of the people and met such
changing conditions as the increase in the
workers intent upon the adoption of a
principle into the financial system of the
nation. But they choose to elevate their
appetite for the transient and effervescent
pleasures of the local pie-counter above a
fundamental principle in economics, and
carefully planned the disintegrat.on and
scattering of the silver forces by repudi-
ating the cooperative policy of 1896. They
advertised to the world their ability to ac-
complish what the gold wing Of the de-
mocracy was powerless to do-destroy
the c~ohesiveness of the silver elements.
This they succeeded in doing, thereby
encoura ging the gold wing of that party
to stand firm in it's purpose of regaining
control of the national democracy. With
leading democratic newspapers in silver
states repudiating the ratio of 16 to l,
and press and politicians uniting to crush
out and destroy parties organized with
special reference to promoting the work
for free coinage, it was apparent to demo-
cratic leaders in the east that they could
again regain their footing on the basis
of a compromise that would retire the sill
yer issue to the background. They went
to work with a will, and with the result
that they now have the silver democrats
in a position where they must consent to
the retirement of the free coinage propo-
sition or go into the campaign absolutely
of any hope of political success
at the polls.

The Tennessee Ledford followed the
letter with a telegram, in which he said

expense of the burial.
LedfOrd was once a resident OF Butte
and made considerable money out of the
business of precipitating copper in the
water that then and still lows from the
Anaconda mines. After acquiring a COM
competence he returned to his old
