on the money question in four.years, QUOT
ing the platform of 1892 and recent
speeches of Bryan in support of the asser-
ton.

ever, was in dealing with the question OF
fusion. He told his: old Democratic
friends of Adams County that they could
not vote the straight Democratic ticket
this time if they wanted to.
"For whom do you expect to voter: he
asked. "For Bryan and Sewall9 You
cannot do it. If you should carry Indiana
five of your electoral votes would go for
Thomas Watson of Georgia, who is not
Democrat, and does not claim to be
Democrat. They have five Populists upon
your electoral ticket, and if you vote it
two-thirds OF your vote goes to Bryan and
SewaI1, your ticket, and one-third of it
goes to Bryan and Watson, the Populist
nominees.
"And, if Thomas Watson should hold
the balance OF power in the Electoral Col
lege, you would have Watson for Vice.
President or nobody. You, who have
been taking the straight thing for all
these years, cannot get the straight thing
this.year by voting the Democratic ticket.
But you can vote straight Repu blican
ticket and thereby uphold many of the
principles for which Jackson and Jefferson ]
stood-principles that are now attacked
by Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago platform"
