states against silver have 267 electoral
votes, and the twenty-one states for
silver have 15T electoral votes, SO that
1t was plainly evident that the conyen-
ton would, II the matter was brought
before it, vote against silver by a
nearly two-to-one vote. 1t was then
that compromise manifested itself in q
truly Democratic manner. To placate
the silver men the committee, and aft
erwards the convention, deliberately
adopted by unanimous vote a false
hood. 1t declared its Endorsement Of
16 to when the committee vote had
clearly shown that the party was not
in favor of that principle, and then in
order to cancel and nullify the effect of
what 1t had done, 1t undertook to spec
ify which one of it's contentious was to
be voted upon by the people. To the
anti-imperialist plank 1t attached a
shingle which says in effect: This Is
the real thing. Do not be misled by
anything you may find later on"
That the shingle and not the silver
plank represents the real sentiments
of majority of the party at the pres
ent time, there is no doubt, but the
particular point under discussion is the
dishonesty of party that would adopt
as part of its platform political
principle in which the large majority
of its membership had ceased to be-
lieve.
Under the circumstances no thinking
person can have any reasonable idea
that the Democracy would do anything
for silver In the seemingly impossible
event of its success. s-,,
Once before under circumstances
that promised much better for free
trade than the present ones do for free
silver, the Democratic party brought
disaster upon the country by its fran
tic failure to do what 1t was pledged
to do in Its platform. 1t would be very
much less likely to accomplish any
thing for silver at the present time,
for the reason, as before stated, that
the party has already put itself on rec
ord as being opposed to its own plat
form, and having adopted the silver
plank merely to suit Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal ideas and to catch votes In west
ern states.-Colorado Springs Gazette.

The Democratic party is constituted
as the party of opposition. 1t is op-
posed to whatever the Republican par
ty has done or contemplates doing, and
1t is always ready to announce itself
In favor of any plan which Is Endorsed
by number of voters sufficient to
make their support worth the trouble.
1t is a part Of its plan to take advant-
age of every disaffection or difference
that may exist among Republicans,
and 1t is always ready to concillate
these disafrected elements and to adopt
them into the Democracy on terms
sometimes fair to them but always ad-
vantageous to the Democrats.
A striking instance OF this willing
ness Of the Democracy to do almost
anything in order to get votes is given
by the action of the Kansas City con-
ventiOn In regard to the silver plank.
The question at issue was the adop-
tion Of the direct reference to free
coinage at the ratio Of 10 to /, 1t being
generally understood TINT an indefinite
Endorsement of the Chicago platform
without special reference to silver
would be equivalent to an abandon
ment of the silver issue. In the com

A timely warning is sounded against
any Wholesale rush of fortune-seekers
to South Africa. The ending Of the
war and the absorption of the Boer
states into the British Empire will
doubtless stimulate migration to those
regions and will also increase the op-
portunities Of profitable settlement
there. But 1t will not be prudent tor
any one to go thither without some
capital, or at least suficient resources
TO maintain him for some time in inde-
pendence Of anything he may or may
not do there. 1t is an expensive coun-

President McKinley's speech In re
sponse to the committee Of the Repub-
lican national convention which nou-
fed him of his denomination is n
strong, manly, patriotic utterance.
There Is no lodging, no trimming
and no fear as to the future Of the re-
public in it.
All the iss,ies Of the campaign and
all the great questions Of the day are
discussed In broad confident. mas
terly way and nobody is left In any
doubt as to the policy that will be pur-
sued by our government, both at home
and abroad, II a majority Of the Amer
lean people shall decide in favor Of an
other term Of Republican government
In November.
The administration has nothing to
take back and no apologies to offer for
its course upon any Of the great ques-
tlons arising out OF the Spanish war
and its consequences. There will be
NO retreat from the ground gained In
Porto Rico and the Philippines. and the
pledges made to Cuba will be faithful
ly kept.
The foolish chatter Of the Democrats
about Imperialism is turned against
them deftly and forclbly with the
grace and skill of expression Of which
President Mckinley is such supreme
master, In the following striking
| words:
1.-THE Republican party was dedicat-
ed to freedom forty-four years ago. 1t
has been the party Of liberty and eman-
cipation from that hour, not Of profess
sion, but of performance. 1t broke
the shackies OF 100000 slaves ana
made them free, and to the party Of
Lincoln has come another supreme op-
portunity, which 1t has bravely met.
in the liberation Of 10OOO,OO0 of the
human family from the yoke Of I'M
perialism. In its solution of great
problems, in Its performance OF high
duties. it has had the support of men,
bers of all parties in the past, and con-
fidently invokes their cooperation In
the future"
or course the Republican nominee
has a great advantage over his Demo-
cratic competitor for popular favor in
the fact that while the former has
magnificent record OF great Importance
to dwell upon, the latter can only deal
with promises which may never get
chance to ripen into fulfillment. The
Republican party has lived up to the
pledges upon which 1t was returned to.
power four years ago and the whole
country has enjoyed unprecedented
prosperity In that time.
Democracy's latest, and, indeed, only
period of dominance In forty years
President Cleveland's second term
was the most calamitous era In the life
time OF this generation and 1t will re-
auire great effort to convince Its VIC
Tins that the party which is held re-
sponsible for many Of Its worst evils
should be returned to power now, for
the alleged purpose of defending the
Declaration Of Independence, the Consti-
tuition and the Republic. none Of which
really seems to be in any danger of de-
struction at the hands Of the Reputli-
can party.
Let the people read the utterances Of
the parties and their leaders. in the
light OF their own knowledge and ex-
perience, and they will have little aim.

how they shall vote when they 60 to
