The platform recalls with proud memoir
the inhexibly sound finance of Gov. Tildal
"wao led the democratic party in pushing
on the compulsory republican advance to
current coinage redemption.
1t also refers with grateful pride TO The
lAtlexibly sound finance of Governor HILL

the practical extinction of the state debt.
who has faithfully urged the nations re.
lease from unjust taxation, and likewise
with statesman energy and the true
foresight of the seventy-Cent dollar push.
ing forth in the body of the Sherman
silver law, has taken up the peoples cause,
assalled republican degradation of silver

equal of every other dollar so coined, and
