the ticScI VII be the Democratic ticket
an8 the Chicago ticker the sideshow.
Cleveland VIII push BRYAN harder than
any other usa that could possibly Be
chosen.
sIEis selection would meet an objection
tha, has been made 10 naming any ticket.
= has been sssa that so many Democrats
" Ral vote for Mckinley. even II We have
ticket that Ii would make a very poor
showing for the gold Democrats OF the
country. VITA Cleveland as the nominee
this would De obviated. It would show
that the Democrats OF the country are not
for silver and that Bryan without his Pop
9list votes. could not have as much
strength as the ticket nominated here.
X may he asking a great deal of Mr..
Cleveland. bat n ought TO he willing 10
make the saeriace and patrlotIcaily allow
the true Democrats OF the country 70 rally
around him. Here we are without cSndi-
dates. u Is conceded by nearly every del
egate that Mr.. Cleveland IS far stronger
than any other man that could be select
ed. that he can command more votes than
any other man. We are here to do our
best for the great interests Of the country
All OF us have made sacrifices to meet
the great crisis which confronts Us. ana
Mr. Cleveland ought 70 be willing 10 bear
his share We are looking for vote
getter, II We nominate the head OF the
Democratic party, the man who has thrice
been our candidate and twice led as 10
victory. Democrats need not feel that they
are bolters. In that case they viii not be
holters. The Democrat who votes for
Grover Cleveland. the only Democrat
elected since the war, Is not bolter II
seems 10 me that there is nothing else for
the convention 10 do"
