Dead for a Ducat.

Until the passage through the two
houses of the financial bill the pub
lie could scarcely realize how extremely
dead is the free silver cause. Mr. Bryan
still espouses IL, and Jones, of Arkansas,
still insists that II will play an i'm
portant part in the campaign; but the
Democratic party is weary of it and OF
the world
Let it be remembered that, only a
couple of years ago, the slightest provo
cation sufiiced for an outbreak of free
silver speeches in the senate particular
~. Senators on the cheap money side
did not walt for proper occasion. but
injected free silver speeches into de-
bates on every bill that came before
them. II a bill for the gold standard
had been considered. there would have
been months OF such speechifying as
held the boards before the repeal of the
Sherman act. Yet this bill was before
the senate for only two weeks. but four
speeches were made against II, and two
of these were made by Teller. Free Sill
verite without party. and Allen, Pop
ulist.
The Democrats had to put themselves
on record in the final vote. This they
did. with many wry faces: and they are
explicitly committed against the gold
standard and honest money. II Is part
of their punishment that they are
chained to the corpse OF the issue TO
which they sacrificed honor and care
for the peoples prosperity and party
success four years ago. They cannot
escape the consequences of that mad
ness, of their "crime OF 90" But they
know that free silver is dead. and they
have no wish TO delay the funeral cere-
monies. The wise action of the Repub-
lioan party has removed the financial
question from the field Of party politics
which 1t should never have been per-
mitted to enter But for this cam
palgn thr passage Of the financial hill

vantage OF its courage and fidelity. and

The plurality for Parry would be still
larger IL his vote were compared with
that OF the lowest candidate in opposi-
ton instead OF the highest, or with the
average of the two. Taking the aver
age vote for councilman at large on
the fusion ticket, a strictly fair method
OF comparison. Parry's plurality is 2.466
These magnificent pluralities show
how accurate was the Judgment of the
convention and how well-balanced the
ticket that 1t put before the people for
their support. II Is victory In which
there are no flaws: and the next city
administration win take office on a pop
ular Endorsement which lacks nothing
in either emphasis or completeness.
Again the Post-Intelligencer congratu-
lates the Republican party Of Seattle on
its wisdom and on the splendid vlndi-
cation that II has received from the
people.

election some 700 more votes were cast

This is doubtless due principally to a

party vote.
