SILVER’S CAUSE.

The Two Great Parties Gradually Giving In Their Adhesion to the White Metal. The revolt of one wing of the democratic party in Nebraska under the leadership of Representative Bryan, against the gold-bug policy of the democratic national administration under the leadership of President Cleveland, is highly significant, and indicative of the rapidly changing sentiment of the American people on the currency question. “We favor the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth,” was the sweeping declaration of the Nebaaska silver democrats. California republicans and the silver democrats of Nebraska stand shoulder to shoulder in sustaining the financial principles advocated by the republicans of Colorado. This is directly in line with the policy of the silver leaders of all the parties, mapped out at the conclusion of the extra session of congress last fall. It was then determined to carry on the fight for silver this year within party lines. California republicans and the Nebraska silver democrats have carried out that policy. Conventions of both the republican and democratic parties in other states have joined the issue in a lesser degree, but in nearly every convention held this year ground has been occupied far in advance of all previous declarations on the silver question.— Denver Times.
