He did the same with President Cleveland's
| letter of acceptance. And then he appealed

ton the principles OF the democratic plat
/ form as Endorsed by the President. He

put the people In suspense by striking down

former sessions expressed DO well the senti-
| ment OF the Senators from the silver states
that they Endorsed him In those sentiments

| (Mr. Voorhees, had often inspired him ~
| sort OF fountain head on the subject OF ST.
yer money. The true principles had gushed
out OF him without apparent effort

| some of Mr. Voorhees, speeches and TO
| eulogfze the views expressed IN them
| Mr.. Carey tOre) asked whether Mr.. Stew
| art desired to be understood ~ saying that
he would accept no compromise except one
that would provide for the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver.
