The Democratic hosts of Schuylkill county liave convened mill adjourned, mill tho roniilt of their deliberations Is now licforo tho voters of the county for their consideration. The platform adopted Is in favor of tho "froo anil unlimited coinajjo of gold and silver at the ratio of 10 tel." This is in lino with tho jilatform of tlio so-called llemocmtlc national tuuventloti. held at Chicago. While the local Democracy cmlurtctl the candidacy of William J. liryau, it failed to recognl.o or draw tho line between tlio two candidates for Vice President, Sewall and Watson. J u adopting the Chicago platform and i ndorsilig nil that that 1'opulUtlc document "on tains, tlio Democrats have lcpudiatcd the principles of .IcH'crson and Jackson and set iside the platform of tho state convention held at Allentown. Two months ago the Si hnylkill Democracy was conimltted to the resent gold standard ; the olllcial organ of 'lie county repudiated the Humiliation of liryau and the Chicago platform ; the nominee for Congress, nominated upon a free silver platform, heartily endorsed tho action of the statu convention in condemning the free and unlimited colnagu of silver; the delegate from this county to that cifli vention voted and advocated the gold standard, and tho men who directed the course of yesterday's gathering wcie instru mental in having tlio state delegates to I'icago instructed against the very thing which they to-dayare loudly piocLiiining as the panacea for all the evils of our nation. The Democrats, and especially those of the Schuylkill variety, have performed tho transformation scene upon tho lliiiucial ques tion with the uasu of adepts. If they can catch the unsuspecting voter by tho tingling of cither silver or gold, they euro littlo what y.ie money of the nation may he. It is olliccs they want ; and ollices they must have. Wo iuutc fiom tho platform adopted yesterday as follows: W favor and demand the flee mid mil i nil ted L'Unage of (old mid siller, as provided by our olistlttltioli lit the present Icunl ratio of Hi to I, without uwalttlm the uilhin of other nations on ' be money i'iiichiIoii." Here is where they conform themselves into coutoitionist'!. It was only a short tln.o airo the delegates from this county voted fur he gold standard in the state, convention at winch the following was udoptul unani mously ; V e nre In favor of a linn, unvarying main lelinliee of the gold standiivd. While we favor the most liberal use of slh er, consistent ujtli the crifniccmcnt of n golilstmidaid, we ore abso lutely opposed to the free coinage of silver, ami In the conipii"or,v purchase of silver bullion by the government. We believe that the luu-rests of the people demand that tio t-arnins of trade, agrkiilture, manufactures a-.id coiiinierce, and especially the wages of tabor, Kboiltd be paid in money of tho greatest (litifosle value and of the highest sundaril adopted by the chiliriil u-itioils of the world. Ve nre, tlicieoie, unalterably opposed to all ilfllei 8 lUldebelllesfol the itebnseinelit f our currency, uptl va all eiitslnus and compioinlscM of n ()uetduni)si) closely afTLH.tliiglndlvidii.il uud iiatlouat (todil mid honor." The two planks are diametrically opposite, yet tliey were adopted by the samu party. 1,'i-idcs th'tato chairman, a number of presidential electors nud many prominent 1 ' inocruts f the state have repudiated tho ; doctrlno as ciiuuclutcd nt Chicago and endorsed at I'ottsvillo. Individually, the ticket has some elements vf strength. Collectively it Is weak ; and it 'mains to lie seen which of tho two eh incuts wilJ predominate. Shenandoah has two rep t' scntativos, wlillo liorth-ol'-tliu-mouutaiu scuired in nil fivo candidates. Tho furming districts and the Cusses, where the Democratic impurities arc manufactured, niu loft out in il. cold. So far its nationalities are con- eruad, ithe ticket Is well divided. WV nre of tlio belief tliat Schuylkill county will remain true to its Icpuhlicun niooriii'ts. The result of yesterday's couventlon, in repudiating the principles of the party of the pist, will cause hundreds of honest Demu i rats to turn to the Republican patty fur Ti lief, which stand to-iUy, ns it has always iiod, for a sound currency a dollar that is a ,.nh one hundred cents and the protection I imrlean industries.
