New York Sun Will Not Sup
port Chicago Ticket.
M'KINLEY ITS CANDIDATE
Herald Says 1t Is a Question of Pa
triotism, Just as 1t Was in 1861.
Times Declares No Man SolicitOus
of Country's Honor VIII Vote for
Men on an Incendiary Platform.

New York, July IO.-The sun tins morn
ing. i'll the following editorial. formally
repudiates the national Democratic plat
form. and supports Mckinley for the Presi-
dency:
Southern poverty, engendered Dy the
war, and the common discontent, stirred
up to recklessness by the agitation OF the
past twelve years, have at last blazed into
d demand for debased coinage and tax
on wealth. and have carried the National
Democratic Convention.
.'The Chicago platform cannot be ac-
cepted. The United States was made Demo
cratic and it must remain so.
Free silver coinage would be national
dishonor and monumental anachronism.
Silver has had its day as u money standard.
The coIamerce of civilization, which has
Used as a medium of exchange pretty much
everything. from shells to the higher met
ais, has progressed beyond silver
WILL STICK To GOLD.
1T has adapted itself to gold. and gold
t will stick to until 1t finds something still
more convenient.
The silver campaign is based on de-
usions which have no Justification aud
on statements which are not ST.. 1t cannot
prevail, and every sincere believer in fair
dealing and in business honor as the founda-
ton Of commercial prosperity must put
aside all other purposes and unite for its
defeat, In the different States the State
candidates for the mortified and disheart-
ened members of the Democracy To follow
are yet to be determined. In them, and espe-
c:aily in New York, where David Bennett
| Hill has struggled for his party againstover-
| whelming odds. the nucleus of Denncratic
regeneration must be found.
But from now until the night of elcc-
| ton day, in November, 1896 the Presiden-
| tial candidate of every Democrat who IA
vors honest money, and who still hopes to
| crush the enemies OF their fundamental prin-
| ciples he was bred in, should be without
hesitation, evasion or sop To prejudice
| William Mckinley
The Herald says: The silver fanatics
and Populists have demonstrated both their
power and their recklessuess at Chicago
REVOLUTIONARY PURPOSES RE-
| VEALED.
1 Their revolutionary purposes are clearly
revealed and BOLDLY avowed in the platform
adopted. In this they do not stop with
an unqualified declaration for that silver
heresy which portends national dishonesty
and beckons such panic as this country
has never known. Their declaration Of
principles is a reckless revolutionary pro-
nunciemento charged with Popuiism and
| communism.
| '.This raises an issJIe as single and di-
rect as that raised in / SCI. II was then
union against secession; the national flag
| Or the Confederate flag. 1t is row patri-
otism against silverism: the country against
| Populism. On this vital issue thorough
Democrats and loyal citizens can no more
hesitate than they did in 81. All then
stood shoulder 10 shoulder. regardless of
party, for the honor of the flag and the
safety OF the nation. The time has come
for all to do so again"
The Times says editonally this morning.
n referring to the platform adopted at
Chicago:
"No man properly soliCitous for the pros
perity, the safety or the honor OF his Country
will vote for the candidate nominated by
these arbitrary methods to stand upon this
incendiary platform 1t is fit that the
work OF a convention of repudiators should
be repudiated by all friends of an honest
and stable government.
"The action OF the delegations of New
York and other sound money states in de-
Gliding to refuse to be the accomplices OF
Populists and reputation, marks the be-
ginning OF a revolt that will embrace all
respectable Democracy. leaving free silver

representatives have been so Intoxicated by
their new found power within the walls OF
