The man who is nominated at
st. Louis, whoever he is, will
stand on the platform which is
framed for him. and nobody will
be in any doubt as to what the
platform will mean. 1t will de-
clare for the gold standard just
as squarely and emphatically as
the Republican conventions of
New York. Massachusetts, Mis-
souri, and the great majority of
the states did. All the attempts
to getpp a panic on account of
the imagined shakiness of any
particular Republican aspirant
will end quickly when the ST.
Louis a~ssemblage speaks, st.

The New Orleans States says

The New Orleans States says
in its issue of June 1st:
1.-THE consensus of opinion at
Washington is that the Demo.
cratic National Convention will
be controlled by the silverites,
who will force the adoption of a
free coinage platform and cause
the Democratic party to be de-
feated at the November cleo
tion.'
That silver will rule in that
convention is evidently true
that it will not defeat the party
is equally true. 1t is it's only
salvation. Now let us tell the
States one thing. There never
was a day and there never will
be a day when the American
people would not vote for free
coinage of silver-if it was hon
estly presented as an issue. 1t
has been the villainy of the lead
r of the party in conjunction
with the leaders of the Republi-
can party that has kept the
people from having a real vote.
They are liable this time to have
a vote on that question, in spite
of the greed of Shylocks and cor
rupt political tricksters; and we
are very grateful for the prom
Use of their downfall. AS they
fall American citizenship, states
manship and reward for honest
toll will raise.

at is evident that the People,s

lit is evident that the Peoples
party through some of it's lead
ers, hopes to vote for a straight
Populist candidate at st. Louis,
without endorsing any other
candidate, thereby splitting the
whole free silver element. ]
hope the Bimetallist will urge a
union of forces and that branches
of the Bimetallic Union will send
delegates to st. Louis with in
s%tructions to endorse any candi-
date of either old party ON a
straight 16 to 1 platform. The
gold men seek q division of the
silver element, which if success
fully accomplished, will elect a
gold candidate. / am a Populist,
but we cannot afford to be con-
trary. or attempt TO keep in the
middle of the road, as the say
ing goes. Think, as we have
been instrumental in compelling
at least one of the old parties to
adopt a free coinage plank, that
we ought to go still farther and
help them to carry it into effect.
Everything is coming our way,
so let us all fall in line and not
be contrary. If we unite and
don't make any mistake at st.
Louis, victory is ours. DIR.
