In tho same connection as above, the
Nashville American says:
There are lessons TO be learned by the

there are none more loyal. staunch and

THE LIGHT BREAKING.

The Baltimore American. a Republican
newspaper. has been denouncing the
MARYLAND state Democracy for ignoring
the silver question I'm framing its state
platform. and We are amused that the
American has been selected by some of
the protesting silver Democrats OF Mary
land as a. medium through which to air
their grievances
We do not believe I'm political cowaraice
or in political lodging, but the leaders
OF the Maryland Democracy are trying
TO unite the party I'm that state and they
know that to lug in the silver question,
which belongs to national politics. were
10 cause dissension and 60 prevent the
large body of sound money Democrats
I'm that state from giving their cordial
support 60 the ticket which has been
nominated. Their object is 90 get the
party together and TO let the silver ques-
ton take care of itself, believing tnat
a satisfactory adjustment of that ques-
ton will be reached by the national
Democracy in 1900.
In the same connection we note that
there was distinct victory FOR sound
money Democracy at the meeting Of the
Democratic state Committee of New
Jersey on Monday last. There was a con-
test between William Budd and Eckert
Morgan for the vacant seat from Bur
nngton county and st was settled in
Budds favor. Morgan is an enthusiast
tic free silver man. while Budd is known
to- favor the elimination of the silver
question from the coming Presidential
campaign. We are told also that the
committee named Budd TO serve on a
special comlittee of five. am but one Of
whom are sound money men, 20 submit
projected plan OF party organization
in the various county committees
throughout the state 10 IS added that
the plan Of reorganization proposed 10y
the committee leaves little room for
Organism in the State convention.
Whatever may be said of the South and
OF some of the Western states. there is
no doubt that the sound money Demo.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Dispatch. I'm commenting
on the action Of the Maryland Democratic
Convention says that instead Of endors-
ing the Chicago platform the Maryland
Democrats have merely reafiirmed their
allegiance to the principles Of Jefferson
ian Democracy. which clearly indicates
that Mr.. German Is organizing tor the
overthrow Of the Chicago platform.
Whereupon the Chattanooga Times re-
marks:
Instead OF indorslng the Chicago plat
form the Maryland Democrats have
merely reaffrmed their allegiance 20 the
principles of Jeffersonian Democracy"
