UNDER FALSE PREIENCES'
saw that Tammany starts the Democratic party
this fall under false pretences and is peddlng stolen
goods. (Applahsej In the first place, the platform
starts out by realirming-t does not realrm beyond
's4 and 'es (deisive langhter)-wel that is no won
der either (lenewed laughter) The first thing that
strikes me IS that silver plank. There is big
phrase here which says:
Wa now as then steadfasty adhere to principles OF
sound finance We against the coinage Of any dollar
which Is not Of intrinsic value of every other dollar
OF the United States. We therefore denOunce the ne"
sherman silver law, under which One-Venth Of our gold
stock has been exported and all silver output is

In that. portion of this plank which relates to
silver there appears TO be "a beautiful straddlc, or

The next thing that stTikcs me with considerable
force is the statement that the Blaine Immense cheer
