The free silver people have Al
last realized that they cannot con.
trol the democratic party.
"They have tainted and strsaked
/ it with populism and the principles
Of 6atism. They have brought il
from high place to low place; dis
credited il before the whole people,
discouraged its own people-bui
they cannot master it.
This is manifest BY their atti-
tude. They seek to organize all
the free silver democrats in one
body, all the free silver republicans
in another and then depart horse
foot-and-drsgOons to the camp Of
q new party. This they deny in
public and admit in private. See
the democratic end ofthe free silver
game the elOven foot is only too

democrats these free silver agents
hope to win the confidence of a

public men, who believe in the
democratic party and free silver

is secured they viii sound the re-

has been entered into with a cold
