Show I BRIGHTENING PROSPECTS Look out for the breakers Present calculations may not be worth the paper pa-per they are written on So says the Cincinnati Enquirer after reviewing the presidential situation I relates how the Republican party in some sections sought to avoid the money question and make tariff the paramount para-mount issue then states how in spite of every effort tariff was swept aside and the free coinage of silver came to the front The Democrats says the Enquirer are helping to make the silver question ques-tion lively There has been much talk to the effect that a split in the Democratic Demo-cratic convention could not be avoided The news of the last few days indicates I indi-cates that if there is to be any bolting i must be by the gold men That is the conclusion being arrived at elsewhere than in Cincinnati Only yesterday there was published in our dispatches a special to the Denver I News from Washington which said I In conversation with a number of congressmen today there was almost a congessmen unanimity of sentiment that the fight I between the two factions of the Democratic Demo-cratic party is almost over and that the white metal men are the winners Among those who expressed themselves them-selves were the following Representative Woodward North Carolina We are going to nominate a silver man on a silver platform and we will sweep the country Representative Livingston Weve got the Chicago convention and theres no doubt of that Mr Livingston thinks the silver men may have more than 100 majority Representative Otey of Virginia The silver men < will control the Chicago Chi-cago convention and will carry the country Representative McLaurln South Carolina We will win the fight Those are cheering words and we believe them to be true In fact they can only be cheering by the belief that they are true I has been our faith all along that i would be the party of the people that would restore to its proper place the monev of the people I cannot be that the Democratic party will fail of seeing the great opportunity op-portunity presented by conditions that are forming and will be crystalized by the time the Chicago convention will meet in July But there is one thing silver Democrats Demo-crats must not forgetthe administration administra-tion forces are strong led by deter ton mined men and we may count upon every exertion being made that can be made to thwart the will of the majority ma-jority in that convention Our eastern friends in doubtful states must concentrate concen-trate eery energy and there can be no doubt as to the result The cheering prospects that are reported re-ported from the east in relation to the gains made by silver Democrats and the growing conviction that they will be able to control the convention write the platform nominate the candidate can-didate and if there is any bolting make the gold men do itall this we say should be very cheering to the Democrats of Utah for i the sliver Democrats can accomplish that at Chicago there is no question but wha we shall be able to swing Utah into the line of silver Democratic states where she belongs |
