The platform that will be adopted
will be the democratic party's epitaph;
the candidates who will be nominated
will be the chief mourners at its grave.

As choice between sound money and
protection and free silver and free

No democrat who cares for the fame
or the future of the democratic party
can cast vote for any candidate for
president or congress who can for one
moment stand upon such q platform
and call II democracy.-Louisv Post.
Sound money democrats who believe
in good government, and who are OPP
posed to politics that appeals TO the
lowest instincts of people, should get
together in patriotic effort TO save
their country from the raiders.-Gal-
weston News.
Mr.. Bryan is dangerous demagogue,
fifty representing the party of repudia-
ton, socialism and anarchy, which
under the name of the democratic
party, hes placed him in nomination
for the presidency. No true democrat
can afford to give him the support of his
Observation-Disclosures Ledger.
The revolutionary course of the ma
jority at Chicago is hostile to the dem
ocratic party, which the silverites in
tend to destroy, building a popuiistic
party on its ruins. Unless the people
rise up and put down this newly organ
lied freebooting party, the destruction
of the republic must follow.-Hartford
Times.
The Chicago platform is an impu-
dent challenge to civilization" and
the reception which it has met with at
hands of the newspaper press and
people is sufficient guarantee that the
country has recognized the issue and
will call forth its reserve force of pa
triotsm to do battle with anarchy

| 1t will be impossible to bolt the dem
ocratic national ticket next November,
for there is no democratic national
ticket TO bolt. There are populist-an-
archist candidates nominated on the
populstic-anarchist platform. Such a
| ticket and such a platform bind no
| democrat who does not confuse names
with principles.-N. Y. Sun Dem.)
The platform adopted, especially when
read in the light of the speeches of Till
man and Hill, showed that the policy
adopted is to combine the extremes of
the free trade and bourbon democracy
with all the extremes of the populists
| AS the standard-bearer in such combi-
nation no other man could have been
as appropriate as William j. Bryan
Chicago Inter Ocean (Rep.)
1t is a blunder that would be incon-
ccivable if it had not actually been
made. 1t pushes democracy out and
| brings populism to the front. 1t will
render support TO the ticket impos-
| sible by hundreds of thousands of
democrats. The democratic party of
the nation has deserved better things
| like blow they have dealt it at Chi
cago.-N. Y. World Dem.)
For ourselves and for the body of
the faithful believers in bimetallism
we say that it will take more than the
dictum of convention, chosen and
managed as this has been, to make
free silver, leading TO immediat. sill
yer recommendation, a principle of the
democratic faith. The democratic
party is greater than any man within
1T, and has survived more than one
mistake. 1t Will outlive this one and
triumph in spite of it, because it min
listers to the eternal needs of the repub-
lie and stands as the only representa-
tive and bulwark of the rights of a free
people.-St. Paul Globe. Dem.)
The Chicago platform is without n
redeeming feature to commend it to
patriotic citizens of any political faith.
There is not single vital attribute OF
democracy presented in it, with tie
single exception of the perfunctory
paragraph on equality of tariff taxes.
1t is proclamation of organized re-
pudiation, agrarianism and anarchy.

lIIlcal athliations, to most heroic bat
Tie against the triumph of a madness
that is as deadly in its aim as was the
madness Of secession in 1860. and with
out even the poor excuse that secession
had for its suicide. PHILADELPHIA
