Senator Platt on Free ‘Silyer.
At the grand rally at New Haven
which opened the republican campaign
in Connecticut last, Wednesday even-
ing. Senator Platt made a telling ad-
dress. He spoke with forceand feeling
upon the tendency of a class of the
people to dishonor law and to upset the
financial system'of the country. With
reference to silver he said:
“The free silver policy is put forward,
not by the democratic party but by the
Chicago party. But I do not believe"
that the Chicago party will prevail unf
less all the voters have gone crazy.
Sometimes I think. that the democratic
party is composed of two elements;
crazy men and those who are willing
to follow crazy men in'order that they
shall not be called bolters. ‘
“Silver is but an incident of this
campaign, as I have said. We .have
been trying to teach the people that
they ean’t‘cheattheir creditors by the
free coinage of silver. That is not
arguing the question on a very high
plane, is it? We ought to argue on a
higher plane, because it is not right.
In all ages pipular delusions have
swept over the eiuntry.
“Once there was a delusion of witch-
craft. This silver craze is 1180 as much
adelusion as the belief, in withcraft.
Indeed, I sometimes think it is a revival
of that superstition.
“Now, what is the argument, stated"
in plain English? I think I can give
you a formula for a free silver speech.
About thirty partscansist of the crime,
I of 1873, thiity pans of gold. bug con-'
spiraey,tenpai_ts of conspiracy of bank-
ers, and the rest buncombe. The whole
is to be stirred up With a red ‘hbt- Till-
;man pitcht‘ork. The only reason given
by the srverites that it is right to pay
debt-s With a 50-cent dollar is that ‘ gold‘ "
has appreciated and shut has fallen in
value anti all other things have fallen
in value with it. You might just as
well say that wheat has fallen in value
because silver has fallen. It is un-
doubtedly true that most things have
fallen in price, but that the demons-
tization of silver is the cause of this I
deny. And yet it is true that the pro-
duct of the farm to-day, at the present
price of farm products, will buy more
of the comforts of home than it ever
has before.- There is about as much
,silver as gold coin in the world now.
Since 1873 we have added twice as much
silver'as we have gold.”
The News From Maine.
That a Republican victory in Maine
was universally expected, does not di-
minishthesignifieanceof the overwhelm-
ing majority given by the Pine Tree
State against the free silver Popocratic
party, if that can any longer be called a
party that has neither principles, or-
ganization nor leadership to command
the following of patriotic men. The
voice of Vermont was emphatic; that of
Maine is conclusive; and the candidacy
of Sewall served only to emphasize the
repudiation of Bryanism in Sewall’s
own State. .
Ever since that memorable election
when Maine went for Governor Kent,
foreshadoving the defeat of the Demo-
cratic party in 1840', the news from
Maine in September has always been
accepted as a certain indication of the
drift of political sentiment. The Be-
publican plurality at these electidns
has not in recent years averaged more
than 16,000, though Blaine’s popularity
in his own State carried it above 18,000
in 1884. In 1888 a plurality of 18,000 in
Mainepointed to the election of Harri-
son; a drop to 12,000 in 1892 was a fore-
runner of his defeat. The Republican
plurality this year is ’ in excess fat
50,000! _ .
. The returns indicate the practical 00l-
lapse of the Democratic organization.
The Republicans have not only polled
their full vote but many more votes
than they ever polled before. - The so-
called Democratic-candidate for Gover-
nor‘has not" received one-half the votes ,
of his party. Some Democrats voted
for their'own sound-money candidate
‘ and alarger number must have followed
the Vermont example and voted directly
for the Republican. It was only a ques- '
tion of the manner in which they could
make «the repudation of their own party-
wre alters, the most emphatic. p} —
That the vote of Maine represents the
general sentimentpf the Eastern States >
will not be disputed, and there is very
good reason to believe that it represents
as 'well, the general sentiment of the
country. V The attack. upon the public
credit and national integrity has failed.
It has rallied the people, irrespective
of old party lines, as not before since
the issue of secession, and Democrats
are found‘as eager as Republicans, to
crush it at once and forever.
Mr. Bryan will find that not'only '
have all the Democratic leaders of any
character repudiated him and his doc-
trine, but the great body of the party
they represent. With the proof‘of this
so grandly given by Maine, the disin-
tegration. of the Populistie campaign
that was already apparent, is likely to
be hastened, as the news from Maine
sweeps westward to Nebraska and be.

The victim of yesterday’s'drowning acci.

MAY HIS TRIBE DECREASE.
a Southern Editor Protests Against ting .
Burial of Seotionalism.
The way to get great crowds to the
exposition is not by pandering to a. vis
ionary sentiment, but, by looking condi-
tions squarely in the face. Entirely too
much time has been taken up in bury-
ing sectionalism. It is all right to do‘
this in time, but three months is too
short a period in Whieh to. dig the'\ hole
and fillin the dirt for this great c’orpse.
Then, if such a. feat were possible, it
would never do to summarily rob many
{orators of subjects for the balance of-
ltheir natural: lives. ‘ ‘ ’ " ' ,
Col. -Hemphi]1 of .the. Constitution
must be given an opportunity after the
exposition is over to hang a. sparkling
tear on. his 'lower‘lid and declare in
tremulous notes his [undying love for
Abraham Lincoln and Old Glory.
Capt. Howell must be‘ allowed the
manly privilege, after this exposition is
a thing of the past, of telling our visit-
ing friends of the North how they licked
us, and there must yet be other Occas-
sions for a general slop over experience
with those who feel religiously delegated
to perform under the great canvas 01
sectional love. ,
Let us devote the remainder of out
show to dealing frankly with people
who come from distant States to see it
and investigate Southern development.
Let us tell them that we love the memo-
ry of Davis just as they love the memo
ry of Lincoln, and we have no more
cause to be regretful of the past than
they. Let us not let them come down
here and extol Lincoln and content our-
selves with extolling Lee. Let us an-
quaint them vvith the fact that we had
a leader whose name we are proud tc
mention in {any presence, and ,whose
virtues we have the courage to applaud
under any and all conditions. Lee was
not our leader, Davis was.
Let us be men who, while denying no
man the right to think for himself, are
men. true men, who deserve the rightto
speak as becomes the sons of a proud
ancestry,
Took the Dr‘y‘L’o'verf '
A young lady in charge of the captain
of a P. and O. boat had two suitors on
board and a. pug dog. The latter fell
overboard. and one of her swains in-
stantly jumped ‘ it into the sea.
The other confined himself to leaning
over the side and crying, “Poor dog-
gie l”
. ~.
~...
When the rescuer came on board,.
dripping, the young lady turned to the‘
:aptain and asked which of her two lov-
are, after such an accident, he would
recommend her to take. He was a
practical man, and replied: ,
“Take. the dry one,” which she ac
:ordingly did. The only instance of a
wet lover being» appreciated was that of
Leander.
