There seems to be a strong division over free coinage developing in demo- . cratic ranks. The democrats cannot go When the House defeated the bill, too cautiously in the matter of making the members doubtless voted ac cording to their best judgment. We believe they erred, so did the Con stitution, and expressions to that effect were seen in the columns of the Bannjeb and other papers in Georgia. A great many utterances were made denouncing the majority of the House as traitors and nsing other opprobrious epithets in regard to them, all of which were unjusti fiable since they abridged the right d£having an honest opinion. Then the resolution to condemn the Con stitution was another step in this direction, and all the subsequent scenes were typical of the results following sneb a course. When men come to that point where they deny each other the right to express an opinion on any subject, they are bordering on a state of revolution. It is dangerous ground upon which to stand. Hence, it is best to let the matter of the defeat of the Veterans’ Home bill rest.
