An organization of Imsiness men to promote the election of McKinley and lloliart Ills lieen formed in Phil adelphia mid Boston. The move ment is non-partisan, and h is heen (darted as an urgent husluess matter. It would lie hard to overestimate the amount of husiness there is in de feating the party of inflation, repu diation and class hostility. Senator John M. Thurs on of N'e hrasku charges P.ryati with lieing the paid agent of the mine owners of Montana, employed to preach free silver coinage lo the people. Mr. ISryan has not denied the charge, not withstanding it had hefore heen made time anil again. Now perhaps there is nothing wrong in doing such service for hire, hut there Is wrong in doing it and then Hisiugs a disin terested pureist. "A party can lie Uiiight, the people cannot." So says Mr. Ilofcr of the Capital Journal, hut he makes the mistake that very many others lie fore have made in supposing the si- ple and the party tire two things. In fact the parly is the people, al least a part of the people, the other party containing the halance.

It is true, its McKinley says, that "repithlican principles are such that they can he Huhiuitted with safely and confidence to the intelligence of the educated men of the country." That has always Ihtii one of the party's sources of strength and suc cess. In other words, it is a party that has always had logic and v is doiii on its side, olid that has never catered to ignorain-e and folly for the promotion of its interests. The man who belongs to it is not obliged to resort to any Kind of sophistry to justify his position, lie has sound reasons to irive lor the faith that lie prodsses, and his vole is cast on the basis of best facts in Amen inn pol itics. The state di ction in Alalmm t has In-en carried by the democrats. The black lielt again showed up well, ltut then fraud cannot Is- charged for there was no reason for using un usual methods to bring about the re sult.

In some lo, -antics clubs have not been organ ized. Such centers are not lo be over looked. Five electors are a ipiourum and a good audience can he secured from the meinlM-rs of the families of these live. Then democrat will want to attend the meetings. And populist will go out of curiosity. Some of these will lie convinced that McKinley is a better man than ISry an and will vote (or him. These clubs are not to assist in ipiestionable practices. Republicans need not resort to such.. What they want is a clear and rull presentation or their side of the ijin-al ion. That is according to the genius of our government and that is what we must have if we deserve success. TOM NTt'll'S SI'KM'H. At the Arizona republican con vention to select delegates to the national convention, Tom Filch, the original .silver-tongued orator, was called on for a Hposli. In his re sponse he gave his reascn for being a republican. Those reasons appeal to every man who has ever acknow ledged allegiance to the Hag of the party of progress, and they formu late the thoughts existing in millions of minds in answer to the question, Why am I a republican? Mr. Fitch said: (ietitlemen fif the convention: I thought that the seclusion that the upper gallery grants, ibined with other circumstances, would exempt me rrom any invitation to speak be fore this convention, but your re pealed calls leave 4iie no alternative consistent w ith courtesy but to im er theni. "The speakers who have addressed you have spoken i if the free coinage of silver as a cardinal principle of the republican party. I fear that the St. Louis convention may compel us lo retrace sot if our step in this mat ter, and. as the statesmen who con trol this convention have not includ ed me among those deemed most tit to represent Ariz m l at St. Louis, I feel quite at liberty to tell the troth. "I suppose no oae wilt question my long devotion to the cause of the free coinage of silver. Years iign at (he inception of the movement, I, iri siili-nt of t hi- national ex-I ecutive committee of Ihe silver con vention in contift'tioo with A. .1.

"Thi morning a Irion I, who i a member ol the convention, and who now honors me with bis audience, said to ii i : 'Mr. Fitch, you have nlvvav lieen a proiieiinei d advocate ol the free coinage ill you do if the st r sjivir: hat I. nis con ven- tioii adopts a plank in tin ir pla'torm favoring a single gold standard and denouncing the fni inage nf i. ver?' I did not answer this ques tion then, i-ut with your peiniis-ioii I will do so now.

"Forty year ago, then a lad of is I joined Ihe republican ranks, and, too young to vote, flung my blazing ban ner aloft for Fremont and Jes-iie. I was present a a newspaper reporter at the Chicago convention in ImIU, when all Illinois shouted Abraham Lincoln into the presidency. I heard the song of John ISrowu'a soul sung in bated breath and in secret gatherings of his smpathizi-rs and four year later on these distai.t shores, I almost caught Ihe echo of its refrain when armies chanted it ror their battle anthem. I enjoyed the eloquence and friendship of lin ker and Starr King, and Butler and lSingham, and (iarlield and ('ink ling and that noblest Roman of them all James (I. lilaine. Who, then, is there In all this land that shall dare ask ine to betray these memories because of a differ ence of opinion concerning the con- lition under which sliver dollars shall lie coined?

Kit her will I turn to the republican goddess the same steadfast face that I bore when my hx-ks, now whiten ing, were black a the raven's wing, and said to her as Ruth (o Naomi: 'Whither thou gocst I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my ieople, nud thy (iod my (hid; where thou iliest I will die, and there I will be buriiil.'

In the above, Mr. To.ier, as the lawyer says, confesses the truth or Carlisle's live propositions quoted last week, but tries to avoid the plea by H-lting up other propositions.; Can Mr. Tozier U- answered? Let the attempt be made. First Is Chii.a ami R issia enj ly ing unexampled prosperity? And i" the prosperity said to exist in Mexico due to free silver? Is it not due to the in vestment of gie.tt sums nT Tor eign money that has heen li-ed lo build the railroads jhst as flush times followed the building of our gnat continental lines.

"What are your views on the sub ject of a third ticket?" asked the re porter. "In my estimation a sound money democratic ticket would be unwise. It would gratify the pride of many democrats, but it would do no good and would endanger the sucivss ol' the gold standard. For my ow n part I prefer to cast my ballot to as sure the success of honest money rather than to fritter away my vote on a third ticket." Col .
