Gold Bygs Must Win.

The Cleveland democracy has brought out Col. Breckenridge, of Madeline Pollard fame, to run for congress again in third district of Kentuckey. Verily, verily, the "oidbugs are in serious distress when they must accept the championship of such a creature. The Republican gold bug press has promulgated a very pretty story about the nomination of two democratic candidates, are to run in the gold standard states and one in the silver states, the united electoral vote to be cast for a compromise candidate. It reads beautifully. Ohio will go to St. Louis with a solid delegation of Populists favoring the “some better plan," that direct legislation through the initiative and referendum be accorded a prominent place in the platform, that the essentials of the Omaha platform be in no sense ignored, and a get-togeth-er spiiit that will invite all honorable reformers to- join hands in wresting the country from the hands of its despoilers.—Sound Moaev.

There are many reasons why the Chicago convention will declare for the gold standard; among the reasons are: If the silverbugs win. the goldbugs will bolt, as they did in Kentucky and Texas. If the goldbugs win, the silverbugs will • stick" as they have announced. If tbesilverites win, they won't get any Wall street boodle to carry on the campaign, and without that boodle the heelers can’t see to work.
