Ex-Governor Waite has published the
following over his signature:
THE result Of the Chicago conven-
ton Is both surprise and gratifica-
tion to me. The platform on the finan-
cial question Is very nearly up to the
high water mark In It's demands for re-
form. 1t is a return to the doctrines

country. The success Of the reform
element OF the Democratic party over
government patronage and Wall street
combined, affords and opportunity. and.
in my judgment, the only hope OF sue
cess for a union upon an electoral
ticket by the people OF the south and
West, and by the great commonalty
Of the nation. whose prosperity has
been destroyed. and who are fast losing
their liberties, to strike down the
money power, which Is reducing us 10
