prosch TO the reconciliation of sill
YER.
For the repeal Of this law, be il
with Tegret conceded, many Of our
recred pit republican friends voted,
underline delusive assurance Of its
producing renewed prosperity, which
as predicted had a contrary distress
ing effect But thanks to our faith
full Representatives, Hon. Case Brod-
erick and Charles Curtis, they did
not thus vote. They stood manfully
by the people Of their state.
Senators Wolcott, Teller and Du-
bois are faithfully standing by their
people and the pledges Of their party,
for whose success and prosperity they
are still confidently and manfullY
battling, trusting to the integrity Of
the party representatives aud leaders,
being faithful to the lawful demands
of the entire West and South and
seven-tenths of the American people,
for the complete reconciliation and
unlimited coinage Of the American
output Of silver at the only logical
ratio Of 16 to ]. And il the leaders of
the party are traitors to the demands
of the people, shall such great leaders
as Senators Wolcott, Teller, Stewart,
Dubois and Jones be expected to
prove false to their trust, and still
hope for the people to maintain them,
or shall they exercise their Constitu-
tional rights of serving the bands
which connected them with the re-
publican party if it be false to its
trustH It is their right; it is their
duty to declare their independence;
they would be crsvens If they did not;
then voices at their respective CEN
ventions gave expression to the words
of wise admonition, the assurance Of
patriotic hope that means victory If
listened to and defeat il unheeled.
Theirs were fearless words Of brave
patriotic men, who had the welfare
Of their party, the people and their
country at heart. They love their
country more than any foreign coun-
try, greed Of gold, They are Ameri-
cans. They are for the lawful money
of the constitution, that shall be the
same to the debt payer as to the
creditor.
Ninty per cent Of the western peo-
pie want the constitutional American
money of gold and silver, with final
power of redemption, and full legal
tender. Seven-tenths of the people
Of America want the same thing.
This being the fact which policy is
the most certain, Of "rule or rulnY
The Senators from Colorado, Idaho
and Nevada, who voice the demands
of their own people and seven-tenths
of the American people, who ask that
the republican party either respect
and obey the wishes and convictions
of at least three-fourths of its mem
bers, over and against the chiCanery
and legerdemain trickery of conniv-
ing manipulators of the British gold
bugs and spectators, whose minority,
by ways that are dark and by means
that are corrupt, have procured the
confscating financial policv of this
government; or the gold standardites
who would reduce us to a European
dependency and to condition OF
British slavery. Theirs Is the voice
of patriotic mariners, pointing out the
course and the sails that shall watt
the popular waves and breezes to VIC
tory in 1896, and how to avoid the
shoals and storms that will surely
seperate, shatter and wreck the grand
old party. It is to save their party,
their people and their country that
they so eloquently speak. They are
trying to reorganize and reunite the
separating elements of the party on
taut Americanism, financially, COM
mercially and industrially.
Have the British gold (base) stillet-
to dashes OF the republican goldbug
press added one vote to the republic
can column in the west? Can they
show one patriotic reason why repub-
leans should countensnce or indorse
the Cleveland British Tory monetary
basis now in vogue, and to which it
has been casting approving glances.
Which is the most cowsrdly; the
GOLD standard organs of the party
