and respondent set OF men is not often seen than
these who are protesting to conduct what they call
a "free-silver campaign" in Brooklyn. 1t was next

kind OF expression concerning Thachers letter.
Bernard j. York. when asked for an opinion upoh
II, said almost before the question was finished,
that he had been TOO busy read the letter. This
convenient reply also given by many OF the
regulars. Senator Peter II. McNulty was more
ingenious when his opinion was demanded
Thatcher hasn't done anything worse than Nc
Kinley did he declared. Mckinley was free
silver man before the Republican Naiiorai Conven-

to-day. TEACHERS position is not biz more In
consistent than McKinleys."
Senator McNuty professed entire ignorance OF

late TEACHERS letter as a campaign document. The
Senator also wished TO have II understood that the

Mr. Thacher's letter simply adds to the
why Mr.. Thacher should not be Endorsed by us on

vote for Bryan Bryan says he is for the whole
platform. The platform is for reputation ana
several other grave public evils which Mr. Thacher
does not oppose in his letter to-day. Mr.. Thacher
letter should secure for him the suspicion OF tho

Democratic party should oppose the Hll organiza-
