The New York Press says that there
was time when Tammany Hall re-
fused to interrupt its partnership with

maintained that New York did not
care, and Tammany was not far
wrong. That Tammany should have
changed its method sufficiently to send
out the police force one night in n sea

not in the slightest degree indicate a
larger respect for decency or morality
on the contrary, it proves an enlargine

1t isn't strange that the Maine
Democrats do not know where they
are at. this year. The meeting of the
State committee in this city, this week,
betrayed their unprecedented weak
ness. They are without a leader. an
organization or an issue. and in this
condition they are likely to remain for
some time. Since their grotesque flop
from one platform to another in the
summer of 1896 they have had no re
spect for themselves nor could they
expect to command the respect Of out
siders. Their forms of holding a con-
vention, this year. are Il meaningless
farce. The only thing of which the
committee felt really sure was that the
Maine Democracy is for Bryan, first,
last and all the time, and for whatever
platform he stands upon. Yet, al
though his name means nothing
but the ghost of the dead
l6 to l issue, all mention
of the currency question was studious-
ly avoided by the committee. Their
plight would be pathetic were not their
misfortunes richly merited in this
State and through the nation.

The Fuliillment Of a Great Pledge.

The signing of the gold standard bill
by President Mckinley. this week
makes this important measure a law.
And thus is kept the pledge upon
which the Republican party went be-
fore the country in 1896. In its plat
form that year our party said: All
our silver and paper currency must De
maintained at parity with gold, and
we favor all measures designed TO
maintain inviolable the obligations OF
the limited States and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the present
standard, the standard of the most en-
lightened nations of the EARTH There
yere those who scoffed at this pledge
as only given to catch votes, but these
scoffers have not been heard of late.
When a Republican Congress as
sembled the first measure introduced
was the gold standard bill which has
now become a law. The fight for sound
money has been a long and hard one,
but the Republican party has not
wavered. 1t has been true to it's
pledge and every member of the party
may well be proud of the work ac
complished. The first finished act of
legislation of this Republican Congress
gold standard in unequivOcal and I'M
mistakable terms, sets aside Il heavy
gold reserve for it's maintenance, and
makes it the duty of the secretary Of
the treasury to sell gold bonds to keep
up the reserve whenever it falls below
a certain point.
The passage Of this gold standard
bill which means everything for the
stability Of our currency and the safe
ty Of business and commercial enter
prises, has been made a party matter.
In the House every Republican voted
for it and in the Senate every Repub
lican but one. The Republican major
ity was Joined in each branch by Il
few consistent sound money Demo-
Gratis But the almost solid Demo-
cratic vote was cast against it and i'll
the Senate even went on record in
favor of a free silver substitute. 1t is
a noble record for the administration
and will not be forgotten by the people
of the country. Only Bryan. the 16 to
/ calamity leader and the decreasing
band of Organizes, find anything to
regret in this most important piece of
legislation The last nail is driven in
free silyer's coffin.
