The general impression Of the press is
that the holding of the meeting of the BIZ
metallic League at Louisville last week was
a very adroit performance on the part of
those who represent the lobby of the silver
trust and of those who really believe that
the free and independent coinage of silver at
the ratio of Is TO l is an issue of vital i'm
portance. They have got in their work at
the outset, and that work is Of a positive
and aggressive character. Those whom the
meeting represent are not so numerous nor
so intelligent as are those who would rele-
gate the silver issue TO the unimportant
planks of a platform in rear of the speakers,
but they insist that it shall be the first and
most important piece of timber in the DEM
ocratic structure of 1900. Altgeld. Blackburn.

that class of would-be leaders are fiercely

the surrender of prominence and leadership.
For instance. more than the success OF the
Democratic party Mr.. Altgeld desires the
overthrow of Mayor Harrison, consequently

and his following TO a party success which
would make Harrison the party magnate in
Illinois.
The Louisville leaders are fortunate in
their fight in that. at the outset. they have
secured the aid of Mr.. Bryan. He might
like other Democrats. have found excuse
10 absent himself from a meeting not dis
tinctively Democratic and designed TO fore
stall the action OF the national convention,
which will not be held for year. They are
thrice fortunate in obtaining from him a
declaration that the silver issue must have
the first place in the platform and the first
place among the issues upon which his party
will go TO the people. Having secured the

will also prevent their further creation.

as twenty States car be induced TO adopt
a uniform policy in reference to this gen
orally admitted evil. will enforce such pol
lev with vigor, relief will surely and quick
ly follow. 1t cannot be doubted that IN
this matter state action is necessary and
that uniformity in the enactment and en-
forcement of legislation Is Indispensable
