The gold figure* at the national convention last week did n->t t>»lt. much to the chagrin and hamilia tion . f many republican politician*, who already see the hand writing on the wall. The H>o.

His dis•t;agu:*3ed -*rvic-» -.11 vastlj aid Indiana in turning up a big silver victory. Yew York democrats hare sig nified their intention of not bolting the d- erotic nominee* at Chios go. Caicago democrat* and W. D. Bi mm of this state, are alone in the new party organizing basiness. and may they get licked and licked like blares. There is no T >m f vli-hness in th> campaign. PktlaND democrats organized a Bryan clnb with two hundred members in less than three hours after the news of the nomination ranched that city.

Adam* o—nnty d—m •■■rats v-tsa smile of approval and -satisfaction over the nati-mal coaveuiwc's choice far president. It ean.da't hxve done better is the reply of every we. This unanimous feel tag at rhe beginning of a campaign is w. rrh much for the • rexes* of the party and its D-minces. Let every cue who d« sires to restore silver as one of the standard* of money metals, buckle on the armor and prepare to lick 'em as they were never licked before. M ant of the attendants at the ua.f.o al convection from Adams. Jay. Wellsand even other roun tie*, will keg remember the favors Blown them by the Hon. Hugh Dtoigberty of Blnfton. His political knowledge and acquaintance enabled him to supply with tickets those who were jess known. It wasn't •necessary toa*k him for the favor, far be very kindly looked after any and all whom he knew hadn’t the neemssary pwMe bwrd to entitle him to admMtion. Mr. Dangherry is the best known poll tietaa ia this part of Indiana, a fact we are very glad to teetitify to.

Bryan aud Sewell are their name*. New York Tammany democracy have announced that they will sup port the ticket named at Chicago Tammany is all right. It is said that Governor Matt hews now ha* a senatorial Im*c and will try to succeed Voorhees, providing the next legislature is demo cndic. As a chmnic in the line of office seeking the Governor neither allows hi* mo<l**ty or other qnalifi cations to interfere. The repreeeutatn • . :.'< ntiou for Jay am! Adams, and for Jay, Adam* and Bhickford is called for Portland July iMb. The Hon. John T. Kelley who represented Jay and Adams in the legislature two years ago. will without doubt be renominated again. It is the usual custom and the right one. Gov KRNOR M ArrHEWS campaign as a candidate for the presidential nomination was a rauk fraud. Barring the fact that he had uo license or reason to expect such a nomination, yet after he was tabbed for the race he even deserved lietter treatment than he received. The silver element —with but rare exceptions—were in no manner enthused in his behalf, and the gold men actually treated him shabbily. Had the least attention been paid him at Chicago bis vote would have a: leaat tbribbled. One of the tirst acts of congr-s* nuder the presidency - f Washing ton. provided for the free coinage of N*th meta’s at the national mints Any one p»s>e-sseil of either gold or silver could present it and re. eeive its weight in rein of the same metal. This condition of things continued uninterruptedly until the act which demonetued silver in I*7 I.—the right of the people to free and unlimited coinage never having been interfered with in any way till then, s> the hist«»ry of the world and the laws and traditions of the American people were all on the side of bhuetalism till that date.

When demonetization took place it was by stealth, ab*- .utely without the knowledge of the American people, and. M appear*. withoßt ’ the knowledge of any member of congress with the p-- ie exrepti- -u of three. Judge Kelly of Pennsylvania, Jong the --Father of the Hoose” -i 1 Mana 9. IS7*. ••Though chairman of the committee on coinage. I was ign cant of the fact that it deoj-metized the silver dollar.” Tn 1*79 he said. ••I nave never found a man who could tell just h w it came about," Every one knows that it was the work of the British money lenders, aided by their agent? in our great cities. The -diver league now umlergoing the pertectation of aa oggMUzatioa. should secure a reading room, which wi’J be open all day and evenings. All the literature appertaining to the quest, -us now being brought forward in the ap proaehiug campaign, -hoedd be read. «tudit-«l aod discussed. In this way it w<m)d not only bnghtca the mtnd* of many irembers of the duh. bn' it would put them in a psi’:-« to defend thettmehw up a the course they have pursued, in linking themselves with sueh a cottm-ic cause. A reading or elnb rea m wi 1 do more g «od than ».. ' -i-* ; • r u; campaigners, ever did. Mr. Whitney tells a* that to pay oar debts ia anything but gold w aid be dishenesx and dishonorable. On the contrary, to reqnire the payment of our debts with two hundred-cect dollars is confaeatioa. It is not a que-tfon of repudiation but confisKatioa. Justice requires where one dollar was borrowed that ooe doll ar be repaid. The g-.u contract sooisto demand that for every dollar borrowed the cred;t->r shall have the nght to ex art a dollar in payment of interest and principal worth doutde the dollar kaned. This is not honest —it is dishonest—it is confiscation. Dishonesty lies at the d *»r of the gold coutractionists. not of the bimetal tst*.

Under free coinage of silver there is no danger of a "dump" from foreign eoantries. while the present ratio exists. Take far instance Europe, tne coined silver circulates there on a level wfth cold, at the ratio of 15i to 1, or H. 33 an ounce in gold. Therefore, to send such coin here, if we had free coinage, the owners must loose the difference between f 1.33 and f1.290n everv ounce, or to put it in other words. 100 cents of the coms of Europe would make but 97 cents in our coins. This is enough to prevent the silver rein* of Europe from coming here. The foreign sock of ml ver is in the shape of coin.
