ton in Chicago is turned loose on the
country all in one day and without warn
ing. Well we see no harm in their at
tending a democratic convention. There
is no particular good that they can likely
accomplish-neither is there any harm
they can do. The convention will go
along just as If Mr.. Whitney had gone to
Europe and Mr.. German remained in the
sulks.
If they imagine that they can prevent
the democratic convention from declaring

equally as badly off as when they felt
secure in the assurance that the free sill

By all means let Mr.. Whitney and Mr..
German attend the convention. 1t will
be good for them. They will there ascer-
tain the fact that the corporate interests
and the money power have no bride on
the democratic party, and that Wall
street will have no mortgage on it's can
