McClure announces that hls.paper, tire Phlladcliptila Times, "will sunpoint tn> ar m for prosiiltmlt in 189(1 n(ho Is not wiuuri'ly tor honest money, for iCiat is the puna mount h«ue.” Glv Jd« hils reasons for putting his paper In this position, Col. McClure ways: "Today the Democratic party has not a dingle hopeful state north of Maeon and Dixon’s line; It has not a single hopeful state In the West, and the Southern eta tee are sll trembling In the throes of threatened revolution, 'fhv r n rty t»$ui been condemned by the people with an era- fihasla that hue never been approached In the history of cur political contest-, 'in* the overwhelming defeat of called out no eta team an ship In the Democratic counsels In congress and Intensified the maidnees of Democratic law-makers, in stead of chastening and recalling them to the llnej of patriotism. But for the (heroic Integrity and patriotism of Presi dent Cleveland the credit of the nation would have been dishonored and business chaos and general distrust must have pre vailed throughout' the land. "N*> parly thus poisoned wl£h dishones ty In Its very vitals can survive, and If there Is to be a Democratic party In the future, It must be promptly organized on the busts of honest government, honest money, honest taxes and honest elections. Perfidy or blundering In Kepubllcan statesmanship will not restore the Dem ocracy to public confidence. It may de stroy the Hopublkcan organization, but H will not revive Democracy. It must be In a position to command the honest men of every political party or it must die, and If It cannot retrieve Its honor and Us ability to govern Che oountry, Che sooner it shall die the better It will be for Its fol lowers. The time has come when intelli gent and considerate n** n wilt r««t party line* to the wind, to euataln the Integrity of the national faith and the tranquility of business and trade." Tine Atlanta Cottacnation, always largely Influenced by .-ta Imitative fac- uJy, nukes Go). iMoGhine's declaration of policy rbe occasion for outlining It* own. It says: "Adhrtrtng the candor of Ool. McClure, we propose to he equally candid. tv® hereby pledge the Oonatltutlon to support no man for president In 1KI6 who 1* not opposed to the dishonest dollar whloh, by conataiftty appreciating In value, bas doubled all debts and taxes and has robbed the people of the profit* of their labor for the sole benefit of a small class of money sharks and gold gamblers. Moreover, we pledge the Constitution to support no man for president la IKS* who I* In favor of the British gold standard, and opposed to restoring stiver to Its con stitutional use 1 as a standard money motal." In turn, the Cboattitution given lag reasons, oral they are as Inflows: “But Col. McClure Is a blind lsader of the. Wind' If be does not percelto that In th* midst of all the chaos and confusion, th* Democratic masses of the country are still united on and devoted to Qte princi ples of <he Chicago platform. # "Col. McClure la a blind leader of the blind If ha does not psreslvs that th* re buke administered at the poll* In UM was a rebuke to Clevelandlsm and not a de feat of the Democrats. He la a blind leader o< th* blind U he doe* not per- ■ calve that the chaos and confusion which has attracted hie attention Is such as must Inevitably come upon an organisa tion when Ms cRusen leader betray* and deserts It. “This is what happened when Mr. Cleveland called the Democratic c ongress In axtra a melon In U9I. and Informed the leaders of that body that'they must Tore- go and defeat Democratic Unsocial legis lation and pass a measure that John Shaman and hia Republican assistants endeavored to get through the sonata a few weeks before the close of President llamaon'a trm of office. The sacrifice that Mr. Cleveland demanded of hla party leaders waa that they should repudiate the pledgee they had made to the people and set at naught the promises of the platform. Some he bought with patron age, and some he coaxed, but In one way and another ha carried out hla designs, receiving the hearty and untiring assUt- * anoi of the Republicans Id congress and or nil the agents of the Wad street usur ers and foreign gold gamblers. "The party has osea brought to Its present stats of ohaoes and confusion by the wracking Influence of Cleveland!em. In order to put Itself In shape for the next campaign It will have to begin at once a campaign in which Democratic principles wul be brought to the front Ogata, and develandiem and all the lam* that art opposed to Democratic principles will bars to ho relegated to the rear." The OvnHt.tutfon'a statement of ka future policy fa not no dear and defi nite a* did made by the Tunes, but ap parently k into os to my that ft will support no mu for pmddent In !«*; who (a ht pledge! to the Independent free twinage of slyer by our govern- meat, •while Cal. lUXXure will oppose any man who Is so plafe.<dL That nnkeg the Issue char beMivo them.

P>wd to tucb other tf they briooetd to ng parte is, an] the rraaics which they sire show that is their ItMeiprs- fcitlon of the present platform of the party and of (the adtlon of congress find the administration, they are s equally nmrryyqgyf Oofl. »<A«»lasf»« (n »f. fact that IMr. Olorctand bas been faith ful ijo too duty and hat saved the coun try from further disaster; the Consti tution that he has been futeo to his duty, bas betrayed his party, nod bnougbi dtaasior upon the country. Is Mr. Cleveland the traitor to his party and to the country that the Con stitution says be is, or is be a patriot, faMufid bath to hla party a mi th his country, us Ool. McClure thinks? If there Is roam for honest difference of opinion, h» to the meaning of the cur rency plank of tlie Chicago platform, then Democrats who differ in opinion with the president, recognizing • that foot, and according bint equal hon esty with trhemsdves, certainly cannot HJtoom hlim a tniitlor. The only test, It seems to us, must be fho platform Itself, IttturprdU-d wilih uu honest de sire i.o discover Us meaning. In brief, that platform hectares In favor of the free use of both gold anil silver *« standard money, and cf the free coin age of both (when tin International agreument as to ratio can too reached, ,or when, toy taflMattou. the parity of the ( wo kinds tot money cam be main tained. We have never been able to see in this a demand for free, tnde. pendent coinage of silver, irreftpeetive of the effect that free O'.nuge would have on (the use of gold as money. Wo think a majority of Democrats have taken tho same view of It. A majority of their representatives In congress did so, as wtffl as the pruvident. So for as we have been able le observe, this view is also taken by a majority of Demo cratic newspapers. Is It not just a Jut!6 iprVsSuui|plV,iis thwiiairv, io *!■'- clare that the mem who livid this view are itrlaitntls, false to their obligations to their parity, and their country? The question is not one which the wtrongftd accusation of one's opponent can help to a wise solution, and nve re gret that our Ait) nil la contemporary cannot imtofite Ool.
