The Truth of the Matter.
Charlotte On. c. Observer


The Richmond Dispatch says there H.
not much capital to be made out or the
Chicago platform by either the friends or
the enemies Of free coinage The men,
beers all agreed TO shut their eyes ana
take whatever silver policy Mr. Cleveland
might turn out To be in favor OF lie has
not changed. He has not intentionally
deceived anybody" And there is good
deal of truth in that. The fact IL that at
the time OF the Chicago convention. and
even during the campaign that succeeded
II, silver was not the burning question
that il has since become. the tariff filling
the public mind. 1t is entirely true that
there was sort Of tacit understanding
I'm the Democratic party that 1t would
take whatever silver policy Mr.. Cleve-
land might turn out to be in favor of, "
and II Is equally true that "he has not
changed Some of us may have hoped
that he would, but he made no promise
that he would, and those OF us who
"whooped 'em up" for him, supported
him, and voted for him with our eyes
open, and with his Cooper-Union letter In
our minds, are estopped from the com
plant that he has deceived us or gone
back on us. We may not approve him
but we cannot, in good conscience,
charge him with bad faith. 1t is ouI
misfortune II we have expected of him
more than he has ever promised TO per-
form.

Gated their purpose to be present. But
