Extracts From Democratic Papers That
Have Bolted the Ticket.
The New York Times says; The candi-
date and platform of the Populist conven-
tian at Chicago are absolutely rejected by
the Democracy of New York This is not
bolt 1t is the vipdication of true Democ-
racy. 1t Is stripping the disguise from an
impudent pretender and whipping him
out of the party whose leadership he seeks
to usurp The plan of referring the uues-
ton of "A Democratic sound money nomi-
nation to the people in the several states
is Democratic and wise.
The New York World says: A political
organization can survive being made
odjous, but there is peril in making it ri
diculous. The nomination of "boy
orator. for the White House, at this juno
ture of the nations affairs, domestic and
foreign, when the ripest experience, the
best trained WISDOM the broadest patriot
ism, and the greatest executive ability are
required, comes perilously near taking
this one fatal step from the sublime.
There Is no doubt as to the result of the
election except as to the size Of McKinley's
popular and electoral majorties.
The Buffalo IN. " Courier says; The
| Democrats of this state cannot without
self qualification and ignoble sacrifice of
convictions accept the Chicago currency
plank or support nominees WHO make
that plank the chief feature of their po-
litical faith. The Democracy of New York
should head movement for an independ-
ent Democratic national ticket
The Boston Globe says The Globe Is
not prepared at this time to support Can
didate Bryan 1t does not approve Of the
platform, and firmly believes that in a
calm and thorough discussion of the tlnan-
cial question all classes of people will see
that the greatest good of the greatest
number will be best promoted by the gold
standard until such time as the status of
silver may be changed by international
agreement.
The Manchester On. H Union says:
That such platform shall be supported
by sound money Democrats is not to be
thought Of Democrats may not and can
not indorse McKinleyism with its out
rageOus protection and favoritism. But
neither can true Democrats accept policy
of dishonesty and consequent dishonor
within their own organization.
The Hartford Comm Times says: We
feel assured that all true Demo Gratis will
justify us in deciding that we cannot give
the support of The Times to the leprosy
of the Chicago platform and its politically
diseased candidates. We cannot consist
emily ask honest men to vote for them.
The New Haven (Conn.) Register says
The platform agreed upon is such mass
of falsehood clumsy subterfuge and de-
ceit that no self respecting Democrat can
support it. 1t is characteristic of the mob
that framed and accepted it.
The Baltimore sun says The Demo-
Gratis who cannot support the ticket nomi-
mated at Chicago will part more in sorrow
than in anger with those whom they re-
gard us their erring brethren, not as their
lasting foes. But they must part with
them temporarily because they honestly
believe that free and independent silver
coinage, at the ratio of 16 to /, would
plunge the country into troubles from
which it would not recover for many years
to come, and because they believe that it
also involves national and party dishonor
The Baltimore News says; The duty of
every man who realizes the gravity of the
menace involved by the Chicago platform
is to oppose it in the only thoroughly effec-
tive way, namely, by voting for Mckinley.
