In your issue of October 0th lie snys that I was the most earnest advocate of the gold standard among the eight dele gates from this county to the democratic state convention. This may be so, but know that I was not so earnest and loud in expressing my views that any one in the convention tried to call me down. I wish to say that previous to that con vention I was reading gold standard papers, including the Oregon ian (and any one taking the lust named as au thority is likely to do most any absurd thing). But I am a convert to the free coinage of silver and believing its cause is just, I have come to stay with it. It may Question and Answer. Editor Oouhikr: In our discussion of the "dear dollar" you continually and completely ignore the millions of wage workers and assume the farmer to be the only one entitled to consideration. I contend that the former class is entitled to a hearing. Further, you do not relentless coercion before the golden calf of Prince Hanna I Was it to hand this nation down to such pirates as Hanna, Quay, Carnegie and Huntington that our sires suffered at Yallav Forge and triumphed at York town? Was it for such a surrender of our blood-pui chased liberties that a hundred thou sand mothers sent forth their sons to fill a hundred thousand graves in the dark days of the early sixties?

I only got one-half the 'Mr- Kelly asks me many questions that have been answered hundreds of times, and if he had the disposition to look at and examine the arguments and claims of the equal coinage of silver advo' cates, he would not be wholly carried away in admiration of the Golden Oulf. The paper containing the kelly letter is not at hand, but I endorse the answer you gave to his questions. Where would the cheap dollar "get off at?" he asks. Let me tell him that cheap silver and dear gold would get off when W.J. Bryan got on, and there can be no doubt of it unless the gold bugs try to hold the country down as they are now trying to hold the voters down. Mr. Kelly forgets there are two sides to this subject when he asks if I ever had a dollar that would buy too much The farmer has to sell as well as buy.

Well, if he is satisfied with Palmer's democratic record I and all other democrats can be well pleased with Bryan's record.. But there is more in the approaching election than whether gold shall be declared king and every thing else its vassal, whether gold shall go up and everything else go down. The issue is, shall American manhood prevail or shall it be coerced by the almighty gold, power? The words of Washington are just as true now as when uttered. Eternal vigilanceis the only price of liberty. There is no way of judging the future but by the past, and if our country prospered for over eighty years under free coinage, I feel more safe to risk it than to risk McKinley, Hanna and the trusts and combines that are sure to rob the people. Mr. Kelly says Bryan is an anarchist and his free silver talk is rot. If Mr. Kelly could lay aside thoBe gold rimed spectacles and read what McKinley, Sher man, Carlisle and other able statesmen and financiers have said in favor of silver, he might call it rot, but we believe it was common sense. Hanna would give a well filled sack for anything that Bryan has said that favored anarchy. When he was deprived of the freedom of speech by those 500 college hoodlums, aristo cratic sons of goldbug sires, he did not try to excite any ill feeling. In Mr. Kelly's departure from us I hope he will not try to take the honored name of our party with him. But when Bryan is president and the silver wings of prosperity have again been spread over our fair land, we will see him back again under the flag of a new democracy with that broad and pleasant smile on his face.

Why do all the free coinage speak ers ridicule Mitchell, Ellis,Hermann and Tongue and others for standing squarely on the St. Louis platform, and in the next breath abuse sound-money demo crats because they don't stand on the Chicago platform? In other words, they abuse democrats because they do bolt and abuse republicans because they d'm't bolt. This is somewhat perplexing to the undersigned. Will you kindly re concile the incongruity? 2d. The Bryan leaders say that when a convention is held in due form, and a maioritv adoDt a ohttform and nominate a ticket, the minority should give the same loyal support. By what authority then does a handful of democrats in Oregon remove the name of Mr. Sewall from the ticket? Again am I perplexed. "Do I wake or am I dreaming?" If the silverite8 can take Mr. Sewall off the ticket, why can't the gold bugs take Mr. Bryan off? If one wing of the party twists the tail, why should not the other wing flout the head? If the silver men monkey with the tail of the ticket why all 1-1 II lil nnf f lia 'nanflarrnlil lmsra' Katraii little fun with the head, and finally re pudiate both? Mr. Editor : Kindly give a reasonable solution of the above and oblige, Yours, H. L. Kelly. Mr. Kelly is respectfully referred to previous articlos in the Courier on the dollar and the pig. Hair-splitting may be funny but it is useless. Reply to No. 1. Mitchell, Ellis, Her mann and others acknowledged them selves to be Bilver republicans before the St. Louis convention, but after it thpv flarallAWMl t.Ha nnlntnna fliav linit expressed before it, and the best refu-. tation of the speeches they deliver now are their own speeches delivered before the convention. . They were liars and hypocrites before the St. Louis conven tion or they are now. We will Jeave Mr. Kflllv tn "Irtnrllv rnrnnnila flitt incongruity." The free silver speakers ridicule the democrats that bolt the Chicago ticket and platform became they have put up a ticket that they . know does not stand a ghost of a chance to be elected, in order that they may assist the republican ticket. The re publicans recognize this. The Oregonian, which reeks with abusive lies against Bryan and his followers, is extremely frien dly to, and pats on the back, the gold democrats, or, as Bob Ingersall calls them, the republican "decoy ducks." The "gold democrats" are in this cam paign nothing but an oily of the re publican party. 21. In twenty-nine states the pop ulists and silver democrats have agreed o .1 a fusion of the electoral vote. Oregon s one of them, the electoral vote here going to Bryan and Watson. The pure-' ly populist electoral vote is published as 74, and this is the total number that Watson will secure if the free silver democrats carry the states they anticipate they will. The "handful of democrats" that took Mr. Sewall off the ticket were the state central com mittee, but there is not the slightest reason why Mr. Kelly and a few more gold democrats can't take Mr. Bryan off their ticket and put Mr. McKinley on, as they virtually will on election day. Were it not for the machinations of the kind republicans and gold democrats, who have made Watson believe that to vindicate his principles,he must stay on the electoral ticket at all hazards, it is very likely that the silver democratic vote throughout the union would be cast for Bryan and Sewall only. In fact, the gold democrats have monkeyed both with the head and tail of the silver democratic ticket as much as they could in order to defeat it, for they would much prefer to see McKinley elected instead of Bryan.
