Colgate & Co.'S


7 know the Democratic business men OF 'hc
country are opposed to the Bryan ana SeWali
ticket. They think the election of that ticket
would ruin the country. This large convention
therefore, is but an expression of their senu-
ment Of absolute hostility TO the election OF MI
Brvan and Mr. Sewal | think It's assembling
and the result OF its deliberations VIII most
favorably affect the National election and bring
about the election Of a sound-money President.
Horatio c. King OF Brooklyn, who was the
Democratic candidate for Secretary OF state IN
New-York in 1890 said: The sound money SEN
timent of NewYork and Brooklyn. a part OF
the State that have an opportunity closely 10
view is tremendously strong. / look Tor re-
pudiation Of Bryan and Scwall by both those
commercial cities. This National sound-money
movement in my judgment Will nave most
influential effect on the National canvass. III VIII
seriously harm the canvass of Bryan and Sewail.
1t will give several States to the sound-money
cause"
Ex-Congressman Charles Tracey, of Albany.
member Of the National Committee or the Ma
tional Democratic party. said: I'm my judgment
this Sound Money Convention Is the actual
Democratic party. At least II Is the Democratic
party of the future for even II the Democratic
party should win with Bryan and Sewal. it
present reputation policy as its platform 1t
is a corrupt platform and no political party can
continue in existence with such principles or
lack of principles rather feel greatly pleased
with the successful Inauguration of the sound
money agitation in the ranks of the Democratic
party by means Of this convention. The Demo
cratic party will have to come back to the sound
money platform which we shall adopt here in
IL
to our platform by 1900 Bryan and Sewal
hope will be crushncy defeated. BY an over
whemng defeat of the Chicago ticket we can
rescue the country and prevent any revival OF
the free-conage agitation"
