WHAT DO THEX WANT?
Again we have been favored with
a copy of Webster's Weekly with an
editorial under the above caption.
We are pleas 3d to find our es
teemed contemporary courteous and
genteel in his discussion and we do
t&e more cheerfully answer for our
islf in this matter.
The Weekly is laboring under a
mistake if it thinks that our sending
its marked copy was to be Construed
anything but a courteous calling
its attention to our diecuesion of his
editorial of December 16 :h. We
i
wrote what we. did to be clearly un
dersloidas to our position; to show
the wounds made by reflections that
tae think mhht be avoided, and
above all to help temper the lan
guage of those with whom we can
not exactly see.
It is not our purpose to enter an
extended discussion by jwhich to
ire&ry our contemporary or our
readers, but a reply seems demanded.
Oar estrcmed contemporary also
t J - i. - '. f
coinage prevail ana onng disaster,
ve coald say: "Just as we, told you.
This would be no comfort whatever.
Tt the best come to our ! people, n
matter how it may expose our ignor
suce and folly. We want ho tri
umph at the calamity of others.
We thank the Weekly for copying
our -entire article The Weekly
Buys: The Standard cannot show a
single criticism in said editorial (of
Dec, 16) leyeled at those who ac
quiesce in the will of the majority."
That editorial said: ''He wrongs
himself by letting his principles be
dishonored; by putting himself
TT iere be will be oyerwhelmed by
men who hay 3 no sympathy with his
cherished convictions. Of
- - - j. - i
what help is the man j who votes
straight and talks crooked?" We
thought the Weekly eurelr meant
that we who voted the De mocratic
ticket voted straight and that those
professing to be Democrats but who
voted for Palmer or McKinley did
riot Tote straight. The talking
crooked we inferred meant talking
white supremacy withor t talking
crhiie metal. We certainly under
o ood the Weekly to , mean the class
to wMch we belong. ,
Says the Weekly: "The Stand
ARB eay8 if it understands the
Weekly, the gold Democrats who
erik for nothing save to be let alone,
are not welcome in the party. We
challenge it to show that we haye
l ewrt ii t anything to that effect."
Just after the; quotation we ga?e
1898.
ii nwiMniiinmmnM 1-BBflfinnill I III , r . ..
above we find the Weekly says: "Hi
Wrfc does not cro with his vote and
he is a dead weight upon the prog
ress of his party" The Weekly in
that editorial associates : white su
premacy and white, metal" pretty
closely. We certainly understood it
to mean as much by the! above quo
tations as to say "we would rather
not have you if you do1 not advocate
both the 'white?. ' " !
The Weekly asks whether The
Standard believes the Democrats
prtyfiWill give the country free sil
ver if it is restored to j power, and
whether The Standard favors its
restoration to power
We answer
restored to
that we want Dmocrac
power, and we believe that if restored
to power, nationally, with; a working
1 :
majority far either free
coinage at a
parity, tree coinage r
pgardless of
parity, or a disregard I of metal
money, it will give a measure consis
tent therewith. Bat we wo aid ask
the Weekly to write it on his right
haad cuff in red letters i that there
is more m Democracy than merely
free coinage. i
We believe an over-r
uling Pro vi-
dence gaye us defeat' in
the' last nan
tiorial campaign that we might have
time to deliberate and become wiser
in conservatism when victory perches
on.our banner than we were then.
We further answer our contempo
rary that v we most heartily eay
"Amen" to Dr,. Young's call for a
convention in '92, arict on this rook
we stand. There is not a fusion
idea' far it. r
We are profoundly sorry to see our
co i temporary leaning toward fusion.
It would anger and disgust a large
class of Democrats whose energy we
need; it would forfeit the respect of
the better class of Populists them,
selves, who are fast becoming tired
of the stigmas to which fusion h&s
led and long for associations of un
contaminated straightforwardness,
beside it would have the rVffect to
gather up the most corrupt leaders
of the Populist party to put up to the
highest hidHpr whut. fnllnwincr fVaT

the last campaign but got outbidden
for State ticket. We lost the State
and our dignity too.
Let us wash our hands of fusion.
i
earn and commtnd respect by in
viting into Democraticj affiliation all
who wish white supremacy, whether
we agree on finances or not.
The Weekly seems to think Popu
lists will nor aid us to restore white
supremacy unless we declare strongly
for the tene's of the Chicago plat
form. They demanded no i such
thing of the Kepublicans to effect
fusion and will not again, and they
know when voting with the Demo
crats they are voting with a party
overwhelmingly for free coinage and
that the opposite is the case when
they vote with Republicans Why
should they make such a difference I
We think the Weekly's charge
that there was a conspiracy in the
State to weaken free coinage by
being silent on the' Chicago platform
is unfounded and unfortunate! We
look npoa- it as simply; a spontaneoas
uprising of sentiment among all
good men that the State must be
rescued from Hussellism. It is
worth some sacrifices. (Butler
charged conspiracy, but we all know
what ugly things he can charge)
The Weekly disavows a purpose
to wound the feelings of the acquis
escing Democrats in ljis editorial of
Deo. 16th. We accept this gladly,
out must maintain our right to cbn-
