The Passing Of Silver


The evidence of the passing OF the
silver craze is clear in many parts of the
country, and it is doubtful il "16 to l"
will be a prominent issue in another
national campaign, il indeed it enters
into the platform of the democracy at all.
1t is well. The financial craze OF 1896
was just such rush into imitation
fallacies as always follows an era OF free
trade, depression and hard times.
Van Buren, county was hard hit by
the craze, just as it was overrun with the
greenback idea years before, only not
quite so severely hit with the silver notion.
Once the republican party was in the mi
nority in Van Buren, county in greenback
days il all the opposition could have
been united Gn l87S)-and the united
opposition has not been able to gain the
ascendancy on the silver issue, and now
it's strength in the county is visibly wan
ing.
The Courier says it cannot see why we
claim republican gains in this county.
There are many things the Courier can
not see-and there are none so blind as
those who will not see. The fact that
Judge Grant received more than twice
the plurality in the county that Judge
Long was given two years ago, in the last
general spring election, is phenomenal
republican gain. The fact that Wells G.
Brown was reelected by about nine
times his majority of two years ago, is re-
markable indeed, and especially in view
of the fact that there was a much
stronger man pitted against him this
year than then.
While it is fact that the republicans
elected but five supervisors, that is no
credit to the silver strength, but rather
to the discredit of the republican voters
whose Inconsistency to the republican
ticket made the election of 13 silverites
possible. Barkworth, silver candidate
for supreme court justice, carried but
two townships in the county and was
tied with Grant in third. There is no
fedSOn OuISiue Vi tHc rcpuDhCah party
itself why Is republican candidates for
supervisor should not have carried the
same townships along with the state
ticket.
The strength of the republican party
in Van Buren, county is gaining, not
waning. The only unpleasant condition
for the republicans is the growing ten
dency in the party to split tickets on
election day The place for opposition
is in the party conventions, and when a
man secures the regular republican nom
nation, he is entitled to the full party
vote. Such a policy is the. one that wins
Ticket splitting by republicans makes
democratic minorities into majorities.

Sir Thomas Lipton's talk about the
Shamrock which he is having built to
race for the America cup, being entire
~ an Irish" boat, has from the begin
ming amused those who know whence
come the materials for racing yachts.
With all the good will in the world, it
is impossible to build a racing yacht
entirely OF Irish materials, for the rea
son that Ireland does not produce
those materials. The stick for the
Shamrock's mainmast has arrived in
London. 1t is of American growth and
is billed as Oregon pine" although
whether it grew in that state or the
neighboring state of Washington is un-
certain. At any rate, the shipwrights
now at work upon it say it is the finest
spar they ever saw. 1t is little over
IO0feet long, and the Shamrock's main
mast will be few feet longer than the
&alkyrie's. Designer Fife evidently
intends to have all the canvas possible.
The steel plates Of the Shamrock's hull
will be neither Irish nor English. They
will probably be made of Spanish iron
ore, which is chiefly used by British
steelmakers, or they may also be
American, of ore from the Lake Su-
perior mines.
