| ON the part OF the gold men, to steal the STATE,

| State platform for President. | don't think
| they can make it. | am satisfied that New

| loose every where and turn Hill, Whitney,
| Flower and all other Benedict Arnolds down
| TO political oblivion. They should no longer
| have any standing within Dcmucracy's lines
| Should bc drummcd out the camp, to use n

| and insurance companies nearly caused the
| bringing on panic last week and the banks, i'll
order tOrCSIOrc confidence were forced to Dut m
| 20 millions of gold. The bankers admit them
| selves that their is nothing to justify such
1 raid. My opinion is that the situation and
| condition will finally compel the tnaucial end
and corporate interests, in order to1>eep values
| up, to stop their gloomy predictions. You
| know many Oi the bankers and large mer-
| chants of New York don't believe that the re
| monctiZatiun of silver will hurt any one and
| on the contrary may help many. Even New
Yorks business interests not for gold, to the
| extent oil frightening the country to Il sacrifice
| of property. Ii they would come i'll, the re-
| monctZatiOn OF silver will come about natur-
| ally and without trouble. We have gold, let
| us keep il, merely adding silver to it, which is
| hard money, ana as far as gold leaving us il
| concerned, the bankers are the ones Ia take
| il away, and il that Will hurt them worse than
| any one else, they Will not contribute 10 their
| own rum.
