nents OF the ticket nomination AT n
Chicago have begun their campaign a
most rouse the profoundest resent i,
ment of every American regardful
Of the interests and jealous OF the
honor Of his country. The repre- n
sentatiyes Of half Of the American q
people have been denounced in de- /
lirious language as anarchists, cut /
throats and swindlers. Their ,
chosen candidate for the highest
Office in the republic has been pic
tured as crazy Jacobin or de-
signing demagogue. Commerce
and industry have been threatened
with the very panic these alarmists
have professed to fear.
The crusade has been one Of
reckless Misrepresentation from the
start. The libelers Of the last
convention know that the Chicago
u platform is not anarchical. In
most respects it is inspired by en-
z lightened progressiveness. The
d anarchical elements IN the conven-
ton we're distinctly frowned upon.

majority of the supreme court, or,
