POLITICAL CONVENTIONS. Fif'h Dist. Populist convention, G.-eencuetle.— .. .August 14 Putnam County Populist convention. Greencastle August 14.
From Vigo county comes the news that o ir populist friends did not fuse with democrats on Saturday in county convention. They went to work, turned a deaf ear to democratic blandishments aud nominated a lull county ticket. They propose holding up their county organization and do not propose to aid democracy by endorsing democratic county otlicers already nominated.
In replying to the Crawfordsville Journal \ he Greencastle Democrat Dec. 2. ’93, salt! in an editorial: Yes the Democrat is glad to follow Cleveland’s lead. He is the pilot of pilots, anti recognized by the best men
On Oct. 7. 1893, the Star Dress
said:
“Silver coin with the same legal tender ijualities guaranteed to gold, and ks continued coinage is what the people
want.”
Well, neighbor, that is just what the people are getting. The silver dollar is a legal tender for any
same quality with
gold and it is being coined right along with such restrictions that will keep the metals at a parity. Why are you howling such a differ cut tune now? The money system hasn’t been changed a pafticle since you three years ago penned the above squib, nor do the republicans
want to change it.
On Nov. 4, 1892, the Democrat said at the close of the last finan-
cial legislation :
“Never compromise a principle. If you think you are right drive ahead through ‘thunder and lightning or in the rain.’ though it ’busts the boiler.’ ” That was excellent advice and Messrs. Cleveland, Carlisle, Watterson, Bynum, Cockran and hundreds of thousands of good democrats propose sticking to the principle if they have to “bust a biier.” They havn’t compromised anything and are honest democrats still. It was the Chicago crowd that com promised everything—honor. finances and principle. The Demo crat is i’o’lowing the Chicago screed,
called a platform.
The Star Dress of Aug. 8 failed to publish to its readers our reply to their demand for an explanation as to why the republicans declared for international bimetallism. Democrats talk about a campaign of education and refuse to publish the facts when they are furnished. If the Star Dress will now explain w hy it was so earnest in its support of the democratic platform of 1892 which declared that, “the dollar unit of both metals must he of equal intnusic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted threugh international agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenanceof the parity ol the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets, and in payment of debt,” and which paper also gave loyal support to Grover Cleveland who in his message to Congress in December 1893 in speaking of an international agreement made use of the following language: “It seems to me that it would be wise to give general authority to the

the law and the contract,” rests upon i the quibble that the gold dollar not bejing coined until 184!) could not be a unit. But the act of 17!I2 provided for coinage of gold eagles, half eagles and quarter eagles, specifying the number of grains to be in each. The various goltl pieces named were mentioned in the act before the silver dollar piece. But even if the act of 17112 made lue silver dollar the unit, that would he of no
consequence.
A subsequent Congress could make the gold dollar the unit, as Dr. Kidpath said it did. The law of 1792 made the ratio 15 to 1, while tbe acts of 1834 and 1837 made it aporoximately 16 to 1, that of 1834 putting it slightly above, and that of 1837 slightly below the 16 to 1 mark, and nobody ever said Congress e teeeded its power* In making that
change.
In temper and language Dr. Ridpfttb differs very little from Altgeld and Tillman, lie thinks that demand is the only factor of any consequence in fix ing the price of an article. Nowhere does he mention or intimate that supply 1/3* anything to do with value, although the world’s ?tipply of silver was almost three times da great in ounces in 1895 a* it was ill 1873, It is odd that “conspiracy against our old constitutional order” in 1873, which, be says, has had such terrible consequences fur the country and for humanity In general is not directly mentioned anywhere in his history of the United States. In the chapter in that work entitled “Grant's Administration, 1869-1877,” some rather unimportant occurrences are spoken of along with the important ones, but tbe event of mightiest moment in that period is w holly omitted It is mentioned in a subsequent chapter, but in a mild way and only incidentally in connection with the Bland act of 1879 and the resumption of sjiecie payments in 1879. And yet this history was written in 1874 or 1875, when the rccoileetion of the “conspiracy,” if there had been any such, would have been fresh. There is a very strong probability that he would have aided the “conspiracy” if he had been in congress at tbe time, as Stewart, of Nevada, did. It is evident that if Dr. Ridpath should write the history of the events of 1873 now, in the iiglit which the research of Peffer, Bryan, Tillman and tbe other great financial authorities have thrown upon them, the work would be something of an innovation among modern chronicles. It could be put in the same class with Lucian’s "True History.” the only truthful words in which, according to that

There was trouble between Haf man and J. Milton Brothers Sunday evening at Fincastle. A party of neighbors of which Harmon was a member visited the home of Milton Brothers where the mother of the Brothers brothers aged 84 years is lying ill. Her name is Sarah J. Leaton and there is now a suit in Circuit court asking that she be declared of unsound mind. The trouble between tbe Brothers brothers is in her estate matters. During the visit Sunday Harmon was struck in the eye by Milton and to day a number of people from the Finuastle neighborhood came to this city, where two affidavits were filed in tne Mayor’s court against Milton Brothers, one charging him with assault and battery and the
other with provoke.
Sheriff Glidewcll will go to Jeffersonville tomorrow to get Ben Nichols, wbo was sent up fron Putnam county several ysars ago for stealing goods from a
