a SILVER snake Not scotched.

Silver Snake Not Scotched.
Intelligent voters should be careful
lest they be led into believing the con
tention Of some of the Eastern Demo
Gratis that the Democratic party is now
in favor of the gold standard. There
is no room for any misunderstanding
on this question. Judge Parker bolted
his platform, which had been adopted
by an Overwhelming vote in the con-
vention, and the party did not sustain
him, but simply, in order to extricate
itself from a situation that threatened
disruption of the convention, notified
him to go ahead and hold the political
post-mortem in his own way and make
whatever disposition of the corpse he
deemed proper.
The masses of the Democratic or
ganization fully understood that they
were imposed upon by trickery and
faIsehood; to which they submitted
rather than renew fight which had
already exhausted them. The silver
men are keenly aware that they were
buncoed at the eleventh hour and
robbed Of their just share OF the
fruits of the convention by trickery
and cunning on the part of David B.
Hill and his lieutenants. The result
is that the party still has its meaning
less platform and silver orators of the
West can point to the fact that the
platform does not declare against
their beliefs. So far as the platform
goes the Democratic party is just as
much of free silver party to-day as
it was when w. ]. Bryan led it to two
defeats. If evidence outside the plat
form is needed to show that the silver |
men are still confident OF controlling |
the party organization, w. J. Bryan
has supplied that evidence. In for
NAL. written statement, issued upon
his return to Lincoln from the ST.
Louis convention. he said: "As soon
as the election is over | Will, with
he help of those who believe as
10 Gin the free coinage Of silver at 1G
o u. undertake to organize for the
OF 1905"
The silver snake has not been
cotched. 1t has hardly been stunned.

NEW ELAN OF CAMPAIGNING.

The Democrats have evidently
changed their tactics entirely as to
their methods of paigning- Their
former practice was to seek the popu-
lous places for their demonstrations
in order that they might influence
large numbers of voters, but Mr.. Bry-
ans experience of losing the States
where he made the most vigorous eff
forts seems to have deterring inf1u-
ence. So the Democracy is seeking to
keep away from the maddening
thronS. The candidate for President
lives at little country village; the
great and populous States were ig
nored in making the choice for the
Vice Presidency; while true the trend
of affairs, Mr.. Davis has chosen to
have his notification ceremonies take
place away down in the mountains
of Greenbrier county, where there
are not many people and most of
them Democrats anyway, hence it
looks like the Democratic end of the
