r Majesty,

pan N.,. Mr. Cochran did not forget Amer
IVY F@"' ou,,cs during his trip, and he has
and ,~"'ysd a plan by which he thinks tn"

lsa tncompasseo' ,a. ..r
em soaking of the situation, he SAID: /
w. w. q nc the gravest in the history of
on. I'M country. exceeding in Importance the
o,3 .4siS of 1860. The secession movement
nj zoo hit an attempt to divide this coun-
5k IVY between two governments, each OF
n ,s.r designed to protect property within
h tbs limits of it's jurisdiction. The move
Is npnt launched al Chicago is an attempt
" "a naralyze industry by using all the
IL movers of the government to
% take property from the hands
~ those who created it and
b Mace it in the hands Of those who coVet
Il mis- is a question Of morals, as well
as politics. No political convention can
issue valid license to commit oHenses
! against morality and l decline to follow
I Mr.. Bryan in crusade against honesty
and the rights of labor"
DO you mean that you will actively
oppose the Democratic party or abstain
from active support of it?'
In a contest for the existence Of civ
I ization no man can remain neutral
4 Whoever does not support the forces or
II order, aids the forces of disorder. II
+ can do anything to thwart movement,
Il the success of which l should regard as
4 an rreparable calamity not only to this
4 country, but to civilized society every
I where, l shall certainly do it,"
r What do you think of Tammany's &C
\ ton in endorsing the ticket?'
Il simply can not understand it. They
strongly opposed the platform at Chicago
on the ground that it was an assault On
Il the integrity of the nation. They de-
L cline to ratify even now, which shows
that they have not changed their opinion
of it, Yet they have endorsed the candi-
/ date who stands upon it and whose cleo
ton will mean that the platform which
they have denounced as a singular com
Oination Of lunacy and villainy, shall be
Incorporated into the statute laws of This
country"
VIII you support Major Mckinley out
right, or do you favor the nomination Of
another Democratic ticket?"
l believe that all Democrats who are
80 thoroughly in favor of sound money
mat they place the defeat of Bryan
ABOVE the interests Of any organization
or party should meet in convention for
the purpose of considering the former
method, during which they can give The
greatest efficiency to the opposition. For
my part, do not believe that the nom
'dUon OF other candidates for president
anu vice president, however eminent and
deserving they might be, personally or
poiltlcaly, would serve any useful pur-
poSe' Nobody believes that they could
oe elected, and any Democrat whose
"oSuhty to populism and republicanism
would not allow him to support either
organ or Mckinley, could show his OPP
poslClon to both by remaining at home
y" election day quite as we'll as voting
toF third ticket. 1t would be more
Ho"Yenlent to himself individually and
"ould not create a visible separation be-
ton."
o' now can men, rupturing party
Hes' De sustained by some sense of asso-
toh among themselves?
1hat end can be attained by the adop-
Uon OF platform, declaring for sound
i'ohey against extravagant appropria-
~ohs' IN favor of economical admnistra-
Wv" III every department of the govern
e"e IN favor of the tariff for revenue
ana ample for the purpose, against
pdternalism of the Republican party
CH the populistic socialism of both the
oaso and st. Louis conventions, in ia
VI mat American liberty which can
80 maintained by SO limiting the party
0 government that it can never in
.h,.e With the daily concerns of law
ins cltlzens. The plank Of pressing
NJ '"nce IN such apt form is, Of course
t,o currency plank. Now, the mere cleo
VI Mckinley will be the defeat OF
4e silver movement"
- Aour obvious policy, then. would be
., 1noorse the Mckinley electors?'
