THE DEMOCRACY DESPERATE.

The desperation of the Democracy is
shown by their decision to swallow Wea-
verism in the hope Of success al the last
moment. The national Democratic COM
mjttee has advised fusion with the Wea-
vorites, and under its direction fusion has
been made in Minnesota. the Dakoias, Ne
braska. Kansas, Oregon, Montana, Colo
RADIO and other states.
This action is confession that the De
mocracy have abandoned sll hope Of carry
ing any OF these states on the Chicago
platform. Their purpose is TO throw the
election into the house Of representatives
and thus insure Cieveland's election. To
accom- pli.h This the national committee is
willing 10 confess judgment that the Re-
publirans are right IN their charge that
the Democratic party stands for no
policy except that of negation; 1t Is
simply party without any more policy
than man who is hungry and athirst:
his only thought is 10 find the shortest cut
20 food and water. The Democracy seeks
only to make the Republican party dis
mount and take its place IN the saddle;
and - DO this they are willing to put the
Chicago platform aside and subscribe to
the Weaver platform, which demands free
SILVER. the establishment Of government
warehouses TO loan money 10 the farmers
10 the extent Of 50 per cent Of the market
valne Of farm products deposited, and the
issue Of an unlimited quantity Of green
backs 20 buy up al the railroad and tele-
graph lines and operate them by govern
ment employees.
The Chicago platform pronouRces against
free silver: the Democratic committee ia
the last session of congress unanimously
reported against the sab-trcasary scheme
a. not only unconstitutional. but a. i'm
practicable and negotiable The scheme
for the government purchase and opera
ton a the railroads has been denounced
by the Democratic leaders ike United
States Senator Carlisle. Of Kentucky. and
United States eenstor Gordon, Of Georgia.
. OF course Mr.. Cleveland is party 10 this
utterly dishonest fusion movement. Cleve-
land tells the East that he IS opposed to
free silver, and yet lie advises his party In
tie West to withdraw It's electoral tickets
AID support those 81 = party which makes
he free coinage OF silver one Of It's princi.
