Judge Powers opened with a review of
q tthe legislation of the government upon

s. the demonstration of silver and the

bankruptcy, falling prices and great dis

through all the years, the money power
has kept its hands upon the threats of
the Two great parties. How, finally it
having obtained complete control of the
Republican party, the people rose and
Chicago. He described the scenes in that
great convention and paid a glowing tri-
sslte To William j. Bryan. lie argued
that Bryan can be trusted and urged

Il am not here said Judge Powers,
u t.to endeavor to convert you to the cause
of silver. You men who delve beneath
these rugged hills have studied the

that silver should be restored to its
place as money metal and you know
that there is no half way ground. You

You believe i'll American money for

But, while you will vote for Bryan,
some OF YOU who have belonged to the Re

of that organization and propose TO vote

BE CONSISTENT.
4 what consistency is there in support
Eng the Bryan electors. and consequently
n the Platform upon which Mr.. Bryan
stands and then declining TO vote the
Salanc, of the Democratic ticket? The
1lafiona. organization controls all the
local or anizations of a party. The ma
& xional platform of a party is what makes
the party. No man is Republican his
year who does not support the English
financial policy adopted at st. Louis. To
support the organization even upon local
N matters, tends to give aid and comfort
to the combined powers of wealth which

which are so securely entrenched ihat
. you cannot drive them from party con-
troll. If you elect Holbrook to congress.
YOU elect him to mingle with men who
will not believe with him and he viii
n either have to yield the position which
vou have taken or be driven from the
party caucuses. If you elect King to
congress. he will be in the house OF his
friends. The Democratic party has Staked
Tts All upon the silver question. Its
members of congress are bound by
solemn pledges to support the silver
heels upon the marble steps OF the
\ capitol so far as, associating with his
party friends is concerned King would
n be at the council table an honored guest
and would aid in framing the laws which
BRYAN would enforce. If for no other
reason than this which have suggested.

And then again. Holbrook is supported
by that nondescript crowd which shouts
a for silver and votes for gold. He is on
the ticket of the followers of Brown, who
believe in abandoning silver, If by that
