To join the nati1nal silver party. When
we met the 5ta the court room WIS full.
and as sat Jhere and thought OF the
Sharks and lsoked AT the audience, and
/ then thought OF our meeting the LIST OF

and screams stop the thief and while

supposed intruder the fellow who raised
tie cry, rohs the people. Aud 80 rhe<e
9atriots. which referred to Ia my speech,
cried cook out for the coldbugs,T while
they plundered us OF our rights.
Out Of love OF country and yielding TO
the sentiments Of our hearts and the de
tates OF conscience many % us had patri-
oiically walked out of the republican
party with II. NJ. Teller and until We
Joined some other party ur made n party
ot oar own, We were politically honieidss,
and nov when We tried 10 orgauiEea party
upon ST. Louis national silver platform

this election. but xhen i saw lot u sci

sheeuay, -and was again without party.
But happily the silver republican party
had come into existence In the state and
when they held their county convcuiion
here, like the good Samaritan, they pick
ed me up into their fold. and even exalted
me to the high position Of chairman. and
that without me being delegate. They
undoubtesily saw that / was wounded
and bruised by the Wayside and they
wanted 10 heal my wounds, and must
say that 10 far ] cannot complain % thsir
treatment ! don't care who holds the
Offices as long as they are competent To

Falsehood No. 5--sAs this attempt TO
make the national silver party nm annex
10 the silver republican party failed, etc. =
| There was no such attempt. only in
sisted that those who took part in the
/ proceedings should az least come on the
inside OF the railing in order that we may
know who our friends were. and in order
| that goldbugs might be prevented from
/ participation. but the members o. -the
/ ring raised a thunder OF a smoke against

esty always seeks the dark.
Falsehood No. 6-Every democratic

Falsehood No. PLEASE show me a

much a paradox as a silver republican .
The silver republicans and silver demo
