HHMlMllrftrill THE QUBSTtON IS ONE ABOVE d' >' PARTISANSHIP. We have held that the prominent issue before the people is BO great that it it? above partisanship, and iu support ol that position we see thousands of voters abandoning party aud; voting for the best interests of the country. On this point the New York Advertiser says that the people face a problem that is as inex­ orable as the issues during the war. The platform of the Chicago convention has forced the voters of the United States to choose between Americanism and Anar­ chy, between patriotism and communism between honor and shame. For the first time in the history of this country the machinery of one of its greatest parties has been seized by men who have avowed repudiation as a creed, proclaim­ ed that the mob was mightier than the law and substituted the mad theories of anarchy for.the established principles of the Constitution. The demand for the unlimited coinage of fifty-three-cent silver dollars, and for the abandonment of gold--the perma­ nent monetary standard of all civilized nations--is. as crazy as it is dishonest. The plank dictated by Altgeld, which de­ nounces the exercise of Federal authority for the suppression of armed riot and re­ bellion, is a shriek of treason Against, order and justice. Tho unveiled threat to tear down the Supreme Court and pack it with the tools of Populism, is an insult 10 every principle of, Americanism' --a communistic sneer at the polities and patriotism of of Washington and Jeffer­ son, of Lincoln and Grant. From the first word to the last letter of every one of its distinctive planks, the platform upon which Bryan stands is a declara­ tion of war against public honor; against national prosperity; against property rights; against the homes which are the fortresses of American in­ dependence: against the manhood, the peace and prominence of this nation. The fight against this abominable pro­ gramme of ruin will not be a partisan fight. It will be a grand rally of Ameri­ can citizenship, resolute to defend tho in­ stitutions bequeathed by the fathers and determined at all cost to uphold the hon­ esty of the dollar that measures the wages of la^or and pays the farmer for the products of his toil. The foremosl Democrats of New York state have already denounced the scheme of infla­ tion, repudiation and anarchy indorsed by the populistic assemblage at Chicago. There are tens of thousands of Demo­ cratic voters who have not publicly ex­ pressed themselves but who are getting ready to stand with the Republican party under thebtars and Stripes for the honor and piosperity of our common country.--Gazette.
