ton as a candidate for the presidency Of

ton as candidate for the Presidency Of
William Jennings Bryan Of Nebraska,
whose Democracy, il he has any. sits so
vention at st. Louis hailed his nomination
with delight as the harbinger of success
to their communistic theories, and they too
surance made In their convention that ne
was in spirit and in truth Populist.
We as Democrats denounce the action OF
the Chicago convention, as being in open
violation Of the principles of the Demo-
cratic party and refuse to recognize or be
bound by 1t, and to distinguish ourselves
from that portion Of our old party who may
elect to support Mr.. Bryan, irrespective Of
the declarations of the conventions which
nominated him, hereby declare the organiza-
ton made here today shall be know as the
good citizens to cooperate with us in put
ting the stamp of condemnation upon the
Popuistic and anarchical heresies promul-
sasesa acS hfleeags as
duty Of every citizen of the republic to
and credit at home and abroad; that good
government gives the greatest liberty to
the citizen consistent with public peace.
We declare that it is the highest duty Of
the government to enfore its laws, preserve
orotect and the ives liberty
and property of its citizens
we fureE DECLARE e. tna tba
government should be honestly and economi-
cally administered, and that no more taxes
should be levied either by customs, duties
or otherwise than is actually necessary to
support the government so honestly and
economically administered, keep it's faith
sacred and preserve its credit
platform of 1892. eve hold to the use Of
both gold and silver without discrimination
against either metal or charge for mintage
but the dollar unit of coinage of both met
ais must be Of equal intrinsic and exchange
able value, or be adjusted through inter-
national agreement OF. by such safeguards
Of legislation as. shall ensure the main,
the equal power Of every dollar at all times
in the markets and In the payment OF debt:
and we demand that all paper currency
In such coin We insist upon this policy
as especially necessary for the protection
Of the farmer and laboring classes, the first
money and fuctuating currency"
And to create and maintain the integrity
of that dollar we adopt the words OF the ne
in convention In June, 1896 in favor Of
geld, the highest monetary standard OF the
world, as the true measure Of unfuctuating
value.
Bragg will Accept.
When the resolutions were passed in
dorsing Gen. Bragg for the presidential
nomination he arose and said
II should be less of man than /
think | am if failed to thank you for
the work of confidence that you have
shown me- There hangs, if [ mistake
not, in the rooms of the Historical So
ciety of Wisconsin flag that has writ
ten across it in letters of gold: Give Us
Place in the Picture Near the Flashing
of the Guns That idea has been acted
upon and adopted by all Wisconsin SOL
diers and ought to be adopted by all
Democrats who enter into this fight.
(Applause:) | thank you for the oppor-
will be near to the flashing of the guns,
whether victory or defeat shall result
from the contest"
The convention adjourned with cheers
for Cleveland and Bragg.
