We have seen a goud deal of political campaigning, cam-paigning, first and last, but more dan-gerous-and determined work tha this we have never eeen. It only one word in ten of the whole thing is true, it constitutes con-stitutes a fearful indictment. If it is all false, as we iicline to believe, the ingenuity,skill and boldness is surely worthy a better cause. We do not think that those who are ad vising Mr. Cannon not to pay any more attention to it, among his best friends. It needs answer and badlv too. If the democratic national convention conven-tion meets first and adopts a free silver sil-ver plank, nominates a decent western free silver man for president, one who will carry out the platform, the party will win to its standards -every for-m and shade of free - silver' sentiment in the union, east, west, north and south, and elect its man by an overwhelming popular majority. If she lags along behind and then weakly follows any other lead, she will inevitably be defeated. de-feated. A frank, outepoken free silver declaration is the only fitting policy. We dou't want any more friends of silver sil-ver on the Grover plan. We are eick and thoroughly out, with that order of silver men. Tee Richlield Advocate of March 6th does go for our neighbor, the Enquirer, in a savage way becauee oita strictures upon the Advocate's report of a recent spetch made by Joseph!'.

No sense in that whatever, because the means of getting full and accurate news from the island are ample. This thing of choking off a revolution in that way has gone out of date. Replblican harmony in Weber doesn't seem to have form and substance. sub-stance. It now remains to be seen if Glasmann or the Tribune will win. Between the two champions Mr. Crane is not having his bed without thorns in it. thkn England nas llnlsned buying all the silver she will need in that little settlement between China and Japan, her merchants and bankers will think better of the white metal, as well as the men who dig it. Of course we'd rather see the democratic demo-cratic party remonetize sliver than to owe the boon to any other party .But remonetization re-monetization before anything else, iB our slogan. The Standard Is not without its uses-If uses-If it only accomplishes the task of setting set-ting Charley Crane and the Tribune together to-gether by the ears, the next democratic convention will owe the Standard a yoteof thanks. The Standard ayers that Tat Lan-nan Lan-nan has senatorial ambitions. The Lord forfend. Goodwin would be bad enough, but Pat Lannanl Perish the mere thought of it. Why should the Tribune pursue thd Standard as it does? Is the Standard getting in the way as a republican organ? Glasmann verj deftly works Charley Crane in his warfare with the Tribune. |
