17. Tb formal UDoaaea lat of a det for th assembling of th Honest Money Democratio Convention In JlMMcituMtU mark the culmination of a rigorous and spirited preUneinery contest by men who place patriotism above partisanship, and who valua honor and honesty mora than fealty to a party nam. Th Democrat who will conduct that eonvea-tioa ar men of courage, and conviction. They represent the brain, the substance, and the conscience of the Matta-ehuaetu Democracy. They recognize the hopelessness of their cause from material standpoints but ther Mmi ikmuiu with Nthe reflection that they will aid In preventing the utter prostitution of their ymrir iv ui wua ana aisnonest heresies that have foond a place, temporarily, in its greed.

The convention will be held la Boston Tuesday, Aug. 23. Its delegates wlU not be chosen by popular caucuses, but will be selected by the Executive Committee. To prevent an unseemly demonstration by the silver men. the managers have taken ample precaution against the admission of anybody who la not In full sympathy with the movement.

The purpose of the gathering la to elect delesates to the National Convention at Indianapolis upon a platform similar to that adopted by the regular State Convention, held last April. This declared unequivocally for sound money and against the frse coinage of silver at the ratio of 14 to 1. AJ1 the delegates who were elected in April to attend the Chicago Convention ad- wwmkuwu, wua uurc or lour exceptions. They voted against the platform framed to catch sll7er and Populist votes, and they declined to vote for the candidates named. It Is th desire of the leaders ia the honest-money crusade to reaffirm this traditional principle of Democracy and to slva it force and effect through the agency of a National campaign.

The sentiment prevailing among the honest-money men here Is overwhelmingly In tavor of third ticket. The reason for this i obvious to anybody who has kept a watch on the political tendencies of recent years. High protection is not popular in Massachusetts. It has not been popular for ten years. The opposition in lw, and again in IbiKt, to tnls economic theory was very strong and very pronounced.

It was largely oecause of his forcible arguments against It that the late Gov. Russell swept the State thrice in succession. Democratio advocacy of tariff-reform principles drew to the party the support of prominent men wno had been llfeiong Republicans, and enlisted hundreds of young men who had been reared ia a Republican atmosphere. These elements cannot be readily reconciled to voting for a candidate who so conspicuously stands for the extreme doctrine of high protection, as does Mr. McKlnley.

Then there are the old-line Democrats, like Prince. Woodbury. Collins, Gergan. Burnett, ilenry R. Keed, Hamilton, and scores of others In various parts of the State who hsve never voted for a Republican, and who do nit wish to be forced to the alternative now.

These men want some place opened to them where they can vote for a Democrat, sustain and uphold Democratio principles, and not be compelled to forfeit their party standing. -At the same time It must be admitted that rat-M iHvmuitni in id party wno honestly think that all the coming National Democratic Convention ought to do la- to adept a platform In harmony with the traditions of. the Democracy and leave the voters free to exercise thlr individual preferences. The most conspicuous advocates nT i TTIn.lA. 11--.

rt i wiww mirvii, col lector of Customs at this port, and his immediate friends in the Reform Club. Mr. has publicly declared that whatever others might do Individually or collectively he bad made up hiir mind to vote for Mr. McKlnley. The reason he assigned for this radical departure was that the chief Sim of all honest men this year should be the defeat of Mr.

Bryan, and that the most effective means that could be employed to bring this about would bo to vote for the only man who tcould. by any possibility. Stand a chance of success in tho contest against the Nebraskan. in the silver camp there Is a marked de-rline of the exuterance and enthusiasm which characterized the earlier atages of the midsummer campaign. The boomers are discouraged and disheartened.

They lack two prim essentials for successful effort. They lack brains and money. The men who have gone away possessed both. They have both with them. The result is that the solid work of the campaign has been neglected.

Oratory of the intense and im- Saealoned sort has been dealt out in large oses; there has been plenty of brag and bluster: there have been claims In abundance of large acesslons to the cause, but the necessary business of organisation and education has languished for want of funds and ability and experience. As soon as the Chicago Convention adjourned all the discontented, restless, and reckless elements of the Democracy In Massachusetts rushed to the front as the champions of free sliver and as the partisans of Bryan and SewalL They organised ratification meetings: they shouted their claims to simon-pure Democracy from the housetops; they scrambled and fought for the tionor of precedence In th advocacy of the new financial policy. They also declared relentless war upon the party organisation and upon the men who had won place and position in the party leadership by wise counsel and liberal contributions- to the campaign funds. The nature of th attacks made upon these gentlemen was In consonance and keeping with the character of the men who made them. Irresponsible guerrillas in politics, men who had vibrated between both parties for the money and crumbs they could up.

men whose records as politicians, legislators, and lobbyists were notoriously unsavory, served notice to quit upon leaders who had grown gray in honorable party service. George Fred Williams who Is the leader tf the silver forces, is. in a great measure. blame for the tirade of abuse and blackguardism which has been directed against veteran -Democratic campaigner. Not that Indulged In billingsgate himself; he Is too decent and too renned to do that.

But be took no pains to curb the riotous Impulses of his followers. He opened his campaign by criticising those who did not follow his example In Chicago by disobeying th implied Instructions given by the State Convention. and going over bag' and baggage to- the silver Inflationists. While this criticism was reasonably temperate in tone. It let loose the passions and the prejudices of a gang of political freebooters whoa tn! salon in life seems to be to tear down established conditions and Inetltutiona, The check Imposed by -the State Committee bav been galling to the men.

and they 'thought th time had com to dethron the organ la tioa-acdet on of. their own up In ita place. Those who were marked for slaughter eatererno plea In their own They refused to swallow the silver pUU but they kept on good-naturedly In the work of party organization. And they said nothing. A Bryhn-Seweil-Williams Club has been set up.

It has some SOD members, and Ita officers are chiefly the malcontents, guer- 11 las. and shady politicians already ai-uded to. They set out with loud protestations and professions to establish an organisation In every ward and town in the Butte. They announced their Intention of Ignoring the Stat and local committees and of eventually ousting thee bodi from office and power. But organisation In politic requires ability and cash.

Both of these are scare among th new leaders. Many of them hav received money la the past for their service. They never contributed any. They find that all th men who loin are unwilling or unable go Into their pocket for campaign expense. The men who hav been footing th bills are In the other camp.

But the work of destruction Is to continue to the end. The flat ha gone forth that the State Committee leaders must inven out. Th resrular convention to nom inate candidates for State officers will bw held tn September. Mr. William will capture lb orrsLnlsatloa and will nam th ticket, of which wUl th bead.

Intelligence, and patriotism: and her best ettlxens of parties will found working sid by side In the rood cause. On the Democratic aid the chief credit for the sound-money sentiment la due to Mr. Nathan Matthews.

Jr. Mr. Matthews very clever and sagacious politician. He has been a member of the State Committee for seven or eight years. For four year was Mayor of Boston, and he displayed Qualities aa an Executive while In office which won htm more than local credit.

During th years when the late W. E. Bussed was a candidate for Governor Mr. Matthews was a potent factor in the campaigns. He and Joaiaa Qulncr.

Boston's present Mayor, were th wheel horses of those memorable contests. They were both Indefatigable workers and they had a keen appreciation of the trend of publlo sentiment. Mr. Matthews was the first of the prominent leaders to bolt the Chicago Convention and platform. He faced the friends of silver in the committee and announced his determination to Join In a movement which would give honest Democrats a platform upon which they could stand and candidates for whom they could vote.

Around that declaration of independence rallied the honest money forces. He Is the recognised leader of the whole movement in the State, and bis energy, hla sagacity, and his wide experience in 8 tats politics hav been of Incalculable service to the movement. The delegation which will go out from the convention that he is now so skillfully engineering will reflect credit upon the Democracy of the State. It will be composed of men of character and conscience, and th ablest and most resourceful member of it will be Nathan Matthews. Jr.

Chairman Hanna of th Republican National Committa will in this city tomorrow. Secretary Osborne received a letter from htm yesterday saying that he would reach here In th morning from Cleveland, and would remain a short time. Mr. Hanna wrote that th work of th campaign Is progressing well la th Chicago headquarters, and he expressed th belief that th sound-money cans was gaining ground every day. -The Chicago headquarters, according to Mr.

1 sending out sound-money literature In wholesale quantities. Th demand for this, he says. Is unprecedented. About forty publications ar ready, and other are yet In th hand of th printers-Robert W. Taylor, who represents the Eighteenth District in Congress, and has Major McKlnley as one of his constituents, was at National Republican headquarters yesterday.

He said th sound-money Democrats In his Stat ar repudiating the ticket and platform ot th Chicago Convention, With reference to th silver sentiment, said: So far as I can hear ther ar no Republicans to speak of who will -desert their party to vot for fre sliver. Ther Is one lik a whll a man, of course, but ther Is nothing Ilk th movement ther is In our favor among Democrats who will vot for McKlnley on th Issues of sound money and protection. Let me give you an example of the strength of th movement. In my Congressional district ar three counties. On of th leading and most respected Democrats of Mahoning County, is John H.

Clark of Youngs town. He has declared openly and vigorously against Bryan. In Stark County Johnson 8hrrlck of Canton, another' very prominent Democrat, has done the same thing, while in th other county. Columbiana. J.

Brooks is not only out In favor of McKlnley, but is announced to speak before the McKlnley Club of Alliance in a few days. The sound-money Democrats of Ohio have a very strong organisation, and will be seen in force in the National Convention at Indianapolis. Whether they will nominate a separate ticket or not I do not know: You may say that Ohio Is going to give a magnificent vote for McKouey and Hobart." John M. Birch, formerly Consul at Nagasaki, Japan, under President Cleveland's first term, and now President of Llndsley Institute at Wheeling. West Va, called on his townsman.

N. B. Scott the Executive Committee, at Republican headquarters yesterday. As to the extent of the sound-money Democratic movement in his State. Mr.

Birch said: The movement Is rtrong in West Virginia and Is dally growing stronger. As th result of a conference held Aug. 12. a call for a sound-money convention has Just been Issued to choose delegates to the National Convention in Indianapolis and to select an Electoral ticket. The call Is signed by three representatives from each district.

Many of our best citizens and foremost Democrats are taking an active part in this movement. Among them I may nam Gen. Alfred Caldwell, ex-Attorney General; CoL Randolph Stalnacker, ex-President of the State University; J. B. Somervllle, ex-State Senator, and there are scores of others very prominent in educational, political, and business circles.

Th third ticket will be very vigorously sun ported." Gen. Cyrus Bussey. formerly Assistant Secretary of the Interior during a call at National Republican headquarters yester day, discussed the so-called soldier vote. There may be some old soldiers." he said. who can be Induced to vote for Bryan and free silver.

but I cannot con ceive he a any of them can do so from a pat riot io atandpeint. The question of sound money appeals to the patriotism of the old soldier to-oay quite as much as the threat of secession appealed to him in 1S61. Free silver coinage would reduce soldiers pensions, which are now paid in money as good as gold, fully one-half. Many of them have money In building and loan associations, which would be paid in fifty-cent dollars, as would the life insurance which many of them have provided for those dependent upon them. For.

these reasons I do not believe the intelligent old soldiers who fought to place the flag of our country in the front rank will vote to degrade this Nation to the ranlc of China and Mexico. McKlnley was a gallant soldier. I think I know the sentiment which now obtains among the old soldiers well enough to declare that 93 per cent, of them will vote as they fought." MeKIXLET WILL SOT STCMP. Mr. Haaaa Make a Final Decision oa th Subject.

CUEVXLaMO. Aug. 17. Major McKlnley and Mr. Hanna were In conference at Mr.

Hanna' horn all day Sunday. Said Mr. Hanna this morning: Th outlook throughout the Western States Is mor promising than two weeks ago, and 1 construe It as an evidence that th campaign of education Is beginning to tell. have the Chicago headquarters thoroughly organised and up tb Saturday night had scattered 13.500 campaign documents in every section of the country This is a mere handful compared to What will be sent out. Ther Is a healthy and growing demand for Republican literature, which, in my opinion, demonstrates that the people want rellabl Information and ar coming to Republican headquarters to get It Within a week or ten days we win begin to shoot off our oratorical artillery.

It will come In good season, as the people then will have had time to digest some of the campaign literature.

Aa old grntleman whom rat as a thoroughly conservative man aald something to me yesterday which propo to glv her Just as aald It. leav It to th reader of Tu Naw-Toaa Teams to put-their own estimates on my friend philosophy.

offer hi opinion simply as on man' contribution to th discussion of a momentous question. 'V "There Is a terrible menace to this country." said my friend. In tbe candidacy of Bryan as th standard bearer of tho Chicago Convention. People do not realise the extent of th peril with which they ar threatened by th advocates of th fire coinage of silver. It la not simply a question of standards.

It Is a question of law and order as well. am net on of th excitable sort tak thing easy a a rule-but In this crisis I am full of anxiety. I want to tell you what I fear would happen If the free-silver men should carry th election What I believe would com to pass In this country. I believe that within six months of Brysn's election mob would bo rushing up and down our streets howling for broad. You can imagln all' th rest.

It Is th Judgment of financiers, business men, and political economists that th establishment of fre coinage In fact, th determination to establish fre coinage expressed by th people at th polls would be followed at one by a panic th Ilk of which never hav known In this country. A panlo would be bound to com; even Bryan says ther would a panic Th overturning of our monetary system would tak plac as soon a it should known that th silverltes had elected their candidate for President and a majority of th House of Representative thy already hav th Senate. The country would go to a sliver basis Immediately. "What th Administration would do or could do Is mor than I can say. My belief Is that repudiation would start In without delay.

don't see how the Government could get gold to meet Its obligation. don't se why ther would not aa Immediate collapse of National credit, an instantaneous destruction of pretty near 60 per cent, of the value of our- money. A man would wake up th morning after election to And that he had been robbed by the great American people. His situation would about the same as though a burglar had got in bis trousers pockets and Into his safe and taken half of his money and half of his securities. The laboring man would wake up to find hU wages had been reduced by the operation of cutting down th purchasing power of his money pretty near 60 per cent.

Savings banks, insurance companies, fiduciary institutions of all sorts, would find their assets Just about half as big- the morning after election aa they were twenty-four hours before. If the harm would stop there, bad as all this would be, we should be getting oft very easy. But this would be only the beginning of our troubles. Such disturbance of i values could wot take place without causing a panic Factories would close and worklngmen by the thousand would be added to the ranks ot the idle, already a woefully numerous body. Industries of many kinds would be paralysed.

That sort of thing always happens in a panic. can Imagine a good many things, but I don believe anybody's imagination is equal to the task of portraying the distress and misery that would fall upon those interested In the productive industries of th country. We think we have been through bard time these last two or three years. If we should elect Bryan and a free-silver Congress we would look back on these years aa years of comparative prosperity. Banks would go to smash.

Careful a a banker may be, he cannot provide against everything. With failures all about him, shrinkage in the value of what are now his best securities, other banks crowding him. panic everywhere, how could the average banker keep from going to smash? Th world never has seen such an upheaval and overturning as would tak plac if th silver! tea should capture th Government. 1 believe we 'Should hav anarchy here. I am not talking for effect.

I am willing to admit I may be wild and silly in the view I am taking. I believe, though. I am talking sense, and 1 base my belief on the teachings of history- In relation to -currency QewKiurau. viv" -see how ail these things can fail to rll2ed tf My Judgment is that a terrible condition would fall upon our great cities. Don you recall how two years ago a mob in a Western city marched up to the City Hall and demanded work? Don't- you recall how the authorities of New-Xork City went to the Legislature for permission to appropriate a large sum so as to give employment to Idle laboring men? Suppose you multiply' by ten the distress and misery caused by the panic from which we ar trying to recover, and from which we easily might recover if the silver advocates could be silenced then, try to Imagine what would be the condition in that Western city, and what would be the condition in our own city.

Men won't starve they won't let their families starve if ther anything to et that can be got at. -If you throw thousands of men out of employment In New-York and keep them unemployed for an Indefinite time, something will happen, must happen, when their slender resources are exhausted. I am astonished when I read in the speeches of silver advocates predictions of prosperity conditioned on the establishment of free coinage. I know that the reverse of these predictions will come true. The only question in my mind is as to the extent of the panic My logio leads me to apprehend all that I have indicated in this rambling talk.

I can think of one person who would get some benefit from tbe triumph of the sllverits. His nam is William Jennings Bryan. Even with th salary of th President cut in two In the middle. Bryan would get a better Job than he has had the last three years he has been under th pay of th Bimetallic League. He might not serve out his term, though.

We never hav had a revolution in this country ot th kind they hav in South America, but there might be one here if the people, goaded to desperation by their distress, could find no better way out of their difficulties. I tell you. my dear frind, th situation in this country is serious. As I said before. It is far more serious lHau peopl generally consider It.

The Republican form of Government Is on trial her. Every man who loves his country ought -to do everything in his power to avert the grave peril with which it la threatened." WAGE EARNER.
