/ came up here from my home and New Yori,
city that might get near 20 the great Repub
lican heart for II beats warm, strong and true
here in St. Lawrence There is no trouble here
among your people with i2s,O01 acres Of Repub
hcans, with a majority that is as large as
your generosity. You stand here In the north
the northern light Of New York state Repub
hcanism- an everlasting menace 70 the dark
ness on Manhattan island. They are afraid of
you down there in New York, and they look
with apprehension TO the returns from St Law
renee. The issue this fan Is, shall we have
good governmenti II was much simpliaed foi
as by our friends at Saratoga There was nc
room in that convention for any member Of any
delegation out Of twenty-five assembly districts
who decided to befriend ex President Cleye
land there was no room there for an organiza
ton founded by Samuel j. rilden.
Iammsny. Hall's Alleged Rule.
There was no room there for the Democracy.
representing half OF the Democracy of New
York, who came to the convention for the pur
pose Of fighting rRmmany Hall Their cries
consisted in not bowing the knee 70 Tammany
Hall There was no regard paid 20 the Kings
county Democracy. Never did a rider in thu
saddle, booted and spurred, ride so roughly shod
over all obstacles as Richard Croker, the chief
sachem Of TRmmany Hail. rode az Saratoga
over every opponent Even Governor Hill was
made to yield in one or two minor matters
And 80 Tammany Han has put under her feet
all the powers Of the Democracy and exaets
obedience. Her leading orator, Bourke Cock
ran, in the convention denounced as traitors
and QaEaggtuE the from fns.t.
dared to speak their minds freely as Americans
on the floor Of the convention, dared 70 call
them traitors because they even threatened
that they might sulk Now they appeal to th.
Democracy Of this state to support them They
have forgotten that there is a limit even to the
loyalty Of Democrat.
Tarin Reform and silver.
Mr. Fassett charged that the Demo
cratic platform was as silent as the grave
on the question Of tariff reform He said
that no one knew what the silver plank
meant. But Mr.. Hill and his friends said
that it should read:
eve are against the coinage Of any dol
lar which is not Of the same intrinsic value
as any other dollar.n
Mr. Cleveland and his friends say il
reads:
Eve are against the coinage of any sill
Nct upilaI Mnicn Is not OF the same lntrln
sic value as any other doiiarn
Continuing, Mr.. Fassett said:
Our friend, the governor, would like to say
20 the people Of the south and west why this
plank doesn't mean anything. OF course We
are against the coinage Of any dollar that is
not Of the same intrinsic value OF any other
dollar. There is only one dollar coined and its
intrinsic value we don't discuss.
The Associated Press agent SAYS that he Sc
cured his copy Of the platform from the gov
ernor's private secretary And Mr. Tracy, a
member Of the committee Of resolutions. says
that the word silver was in the plank as il was
adopted in the committee. Is it possible that
Governor Hill has been guilty Of tamperinR
with such an important document as the Demo
cratic PLATFORM
