In which case would be bound by it's action to support both platform and nominee. He says that when the resolution offered him to so levy taxes as best 10 promote American interests anu industries and foster American labor, failed of adoption, from that hour his cahdidAture in the conven lion became impossible The couu~ try lIns had ho experience for nearly l a quarter of a century of what the l Democracy would do if they had l the power, and lhe people are now obliged to T. quire the most explicit | pledges from them of their intended 1 acii"n before we can put the gov 1 ernment in their hanes.
