TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1896.
The Situation.
It is now evident that the free III-Iver
craze wul rule the Democratic National
Convention at Chicago; and that it
means to assert its mastery as ostenta-
' tiously and agressively as possible. It
'will declare for cheap money, {for re-
pudiation, for dishonored public and
_ private credit and for business convul-
sion that would cheer the heart of every
anarchist in the land.
It will not be a Democratic conven-
tion, indignantly proclaims the Phila-
delphia Times. No Democratic Na-
4 . tional Convention in the past history of
the government ever failed to declare
in the most manly way for the main-
tenance of'the highest standard of hon-
est money. It was taught by Jefferson,
it was emphasized by Jackson, {and
Cleveland will stand out in history as
one of the most patriotic and heroic
of our Presidents because he resolutely
maintained the Democratic platform of
1892, demanding that every coin issued
by this government shall be ofcqual
“intrinsic value.”
When the free silver fanaticism shall
assert its mastery in the Democratic
National Convention it must that mo-
ment cease to be a Democratic body,
and the friends of honest Democracy
should at once wash their hands of the
greatest political suicide of history.
It is idle to talk about compromise.
There is no middle ground between
honest and dishonest money. Ex-
Secretary Whitney, certainly the ablest
Democratic leader of the nation, de-
clared in a recent public interview:
“Compromise is impossible. The de-
hassment of the currency would be
more than monstrous in effect. It
would be abandonment of principle; it
would disgrace every citizen; it would
be not merely dishonest, but it would
be dishonor, and you cannot com-
promise a question of honor.”
Allan L. McDermott, one of the dele-
gates-at-large from New Jersey to the
Democratic National Convention, pub-
licly states that a declaration in favor
of free silver would “be equivalent to.
putting on the party banner the legend:
“This Is a natIOn of bandits,” and he
adds: “When any political convention
nails to the mast of the Democratic
ship the black 11 1g of the pirate; when a
platform is adopted that puts a pre-
mium on dishonesty, it will be the duty
of three who are true to the principles
of Jefferson Democracy to repudiate
the candidates nominated by that con.
vention.”
No sincere friend of honest money
can remain in a National convention
and participate in its further proceed-
ings after it shall thus raise the issue
of national dishonor. all Democracy is
tosurvive and have any place in the
future history of American politics,
there must be a Democratic convention
organized at Chicago that will main-
tain the honest money that has ever
been thejewel of Democratic faith in
its better days, and present candidates
to the people who represent fidelity to
national dignity and Integrity.
If there shall be no honest money
Democratic ticket, there will be no
Democracy in Pennsylvania, continues
the Times. and-the other leading States.
of the East, except as it shall play as a
bob to the kite of repudiationists.
WIth an honest Democratic national
ticket the Democracy can make a battle
for Congressman and fer Legislatoxs;
without such a ticket it is\doubtlu
whether they could elect a single Con-
gressman. ’ . i
We have reached the crossroads
pointing to national honor and .natiOnal
dishonor, and the party that does not
manfully choose the right path must
expect not only defeat, but defeat with-
out the hope of resurrection. There is
a plain duty to be per-formed at Chicago,
and let the duty be accepted manfully
and herocally disOharged.

cross wind, such as has been {Slowing
for three days, will give the Yankee
host an advantage of about a length and
a half.
On the other hand, fate has decreed
that in the trials Yale must meet in suc-
cession two of the strongest crews that
ever rowed at Henley, the Leander and
that of New College, Oxford. If they
win the first race with Leander to-day,
with which the ball opens, they may
