THE FOLLOWING from the Rich
mond Times, expresses the trac con-
ditlon of the democratic party We
commend it to the careful perusal Of
our free silver friends. Let us have
only true Jeffersonian democracy as
the principle OF the democratic party
and you would see how soon all fac
tions would rally TO the standard. Ii
is very difficult for men to acknowl-
edge that they were wrong. and to
be willing to correct their errors, 'u
with the democratic parry il l. a ne
cessity. 1t may require anotrp de-
feat 10 get them 10 recogniz The ne.
cessity. From present iud'c'tio's,
they are determined to be again de-
teated before they cast fcm ihem
forever the exploded theory"
"Our esteemed contemporary, the
Stanton Spectator, which has been
in better frame of mind since Pro-
perity came, now talks of reconcilia-
ton between the two wings of the
Democratic party, but thinks that
those who advocate the gold standard
are unreasonable in asking the Dem
ocrstic party to abandon free silver
'In the first place." says the Specta-
tor, "the gold faction, representing
less than 1875, 900 votes, are demand
ing that we abandon principles for
the sake ofvictory." No such demand
has been made. We do not ask the
Democratic part to abandon principle,
but simply to abandon an exploded
theory. The advocates of free silver
commended in 1896 that prosperity
could not be under the gold standard,
and we summon tie editor OF the
Spectator to give evicence to the fact
that prosperity can be and Is, under
the gold standard, such prosperity rs
this country has rarely known. The
free silver peO pie made n great big
mistake I'm 1896. and all that the gold
Democrats ask is that they have the
courage to stand up and ackaowi
elge their error and then put It away
with the errors of the past and adopt
q / old-tashioned Democratic platform.
There is nothing unreasonable IN
this. There is nothing in this PROPOSE
ton that an honest man need hes
itate to accept"

Ex-SPEAKER REED Of Iuame, Ike
the late General Ben Butler, has been
accused of many things, but never Of
being a fool. He was opp' Sed to
the Spanish, and has been to the Phil
ippme war, ever since it commenced
and continues to be. AT Portland
Monday when asked if the I. 5.
army could be withdrawn from the
Philippines now, without subjecting
the country to humiliation, he said;
81 have always observed that with
individuals the fear OF humiliation is
exactly in proportion as they deserve
it. and l believe the same principe
holds good with nation and wi b a
party. l don't know how lorg 1t
will lie before the American people
yet tired ofspending fifty millions a
year in trying to conquer the t1Dp'-
nos, but it doesn't seem to me that II
will be very long. l can conceive that
freedom is just as dear to them as it Is
to us, and that they will fight for it
just as long"
That's just the view all other rea'-
enable and dislnterested people tai e
of the matter referred TO.
