We congratulate President Cleveland that
his efforts In favor OF the repeal of these

III laws which had prepared and finally pro
entitled to the thanks Of the people for the
courage with which 1t has attacked and re.
pealed these laws.
We reafirm the following portion Of the
seventh plank Of the platform Of the last
National Democratic Convention.
1--WE hold to the use Of both gold and sill.
Yer as the standard money Of the country.
and to the coinage of both gold and silver
without discrimination against either metal
or charge for mintage; but the dollar unit Of
coinage of both metals must be Of equal In.
trinsic and exchangeable value. or be ad.
justed by international agreement, or by
such safeguards Of legislation as shall insure
the maintenance Of the parity Of the tive
metals and the equal power Of every dollar
at all times In the payment Of debts; and
We demand that the paper currency shall be
kept at par with and bic In such
coin. We insist upon this policy as especial
ly necessary for the protection of farmers
and the laboring classes. the first and most
defenseless victims OF unstable money and
huctuatinR currency
We call the attention Of the people to the
methods and practices OF bOssism by which
the Republican party In this State has been
managed In the last few years, and for ex'
ty and to the final culmination OF the same
In the GAINESVILLE convention. and We ask the
people by their votes this fall to put their
condemnation on such practices.
We denounce the last Legislature as cor
rupt and unworthy Of the confidence Of the
people, and we submit to the voters whether!
they wish TO perpetuate this condition OF
affairs by placing the Republicans again In
power.
We view with alarm the large increase OF
Indebtedness throughout the State by coun'
ties and municipalities, as authorized by the
last Legislature, and the increase In the last
few years In the tax rate, and we demand
economy in expenditure and conservatism
in the Increase OF debt.
