Philadelphia Item. j , The Nebraska democrats, those of the goldite persuasion held a convention at Lincoln, Neb., the 5th instant, with about six hundred delegates from all counties, present. No silverites were allowed, therefore, the convention declared itself the regular state democratic convention. The resolutions, as a consequence, were infamous.- They indorse the president in emDhatic lansruaere in his rob bery of the people in the last issue of bonds, and in his policy .of misinterpreting the currency plank in the democratic platform upon which he was elected. j They continue: "We insist upon this policy" (that of the president) "as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers, laborers and property - through with it like a train through tunnel, and tlien fell back on his uncle, or rather, and the old man on him had his hands.

London Cablegram: Replying to an invitation extended to him by Mr. George Peel, secretary of the Gold Standard association, and son of Viscount Peel, formerly speaker of the house of. commons, to express his views on the question of bimetallism, Mr. Gladstone writes that he has not altered the opinions which he expressed in parliament two and one-ha- lf years ago. lie adds that he regards the bimetallic schemes at passing humors, doomed to nullity and disappointment. He is convinced, he says, that if London stands firm for the gold standard no power that bimetallism commands or is likely to enlist will be able to overcome it. Mr. Gladstone adds that he regrets that age: and its disabilities prevent his active participation in the controversy. For the benefit of those who do not know that Mr. Gladstone's opinion, a expressed by him in February, 1893, in the house of commons1, was, we will reproduce it here.. It is as follows: "England," says Mr.j Gladstone, "la the great creditor of the countries of the world; of that thete can be no doubt whatever, and It Is increasingly the great creditor of the countries of the world.

One thousand millions-probablwould be an extremely low and inadequate' estimate. Two thousand millions or something even more than that is very likely to be nearer the mark. I think under these circumstances it is rather a serious matter to ask this country whether we are going to perform this supreme act of self- sacrifice." The "act of self sacrifice" to which he refers was whetheij" Great Britain should even discuss the question of giving a larger use to silver. The above dispatch rmust be very pleasant reading for bimetallists of the Jimmy; Campbell stripe who think wait in this country the action, ' r of Great Britain.
