~ The longer they have to think about
the action of the convention in Chicago
which has just closed. 1.-The less the
sound money Democrats of this city
think of the platform which was adopt
ed. In fact if the Democrats of ST.
Paul are consulted, many of them,
probably a majority, would say, as did
the G 10 b e yesterday, hold another
convention and nominate a ticket on
the lines and principles of the Demo-
cratic party, as it has existed up to
this. time. Some of them, however, are
inclined to think THAI aHOther conven-
ton might tend to weaken Mckinley
in those states wheres if another ticket
is not placed in the field, the Repub-
leans will win, and rather than take
any chances ia thew an Of helping elect
Bryan they would prefer to allow the
matter to &C as it is. and either vote
for Mckinley this FAM Or cast no votes
