money Democrats Of the country for q
Presidential candidate for whom they
can vote with good heart and clear
conscience is well-voiced In the follow
ing communication from Sound.
Money Democrat, published In the
New York Evening Post:
Tho time has come for Democrats
who are opposed to repudiation to de-
eide whether they shall go with their
party into the camp Of Populism or
abide by the principles which the party
has deserted and which endeared the
party to independent Democrats. No
Democrat who believes In sound
money can honestly support the
hybrid ticket Of Populism and anarchy
which the thieves of the Democracy
have put forth as a Democratic ticket.
How can the party berescued aud yet
made the rallying ground upon which
sound money Democrats can battle for
the everlasting principles OF Democ-
racy? Certainly not by voting for Nc
Kinley and the platform upon which
he stands. He represents the party
whose theory has always been that
protection-or, in other words, a
/ RONHrBubub 1DE tldbbeB ldtucl hhhb All
the masses--is the open sesame to the
prosperity of the country, and he him
self is but the tool of gang OF
wealthy protectionists who hold a
mortgage over him in Sis, 900 of his
personal notes. 1t is said that vote
for him on the part Of Democrat will
count doubly against the Chicago
ticket. So 1t will--but 1t will also be
an endorsement Of Mckinley, the
methods by which he was nominated,
and the villaiuous protection scheme Of
! the party at whose door is to be laid
the deficiency which gave birth to the
bond issues. A vote cast for new
Democratic party will be one less vote
for the Populistic ticket at Chicago,
and will therefore be protest against
that ticket without being an approval
of the Republican candidates and plat
form.
Give us a third candidate on a sound,
money and sound Democratic platform,
and the ticket will receive the votes ol
thousands who, though they dislike
free silver, hate the Republican party
and will vote for the Chicago tjcket
a because there is no party representing
) the principles they love to which the,
can give their support. No man il
r better fitted to bead the new Democ
racy than the idol Of the masses anc
the classes, William u. Russell, thu
n sterling ax- Governor of Massachusetts
His name and record will have thu
support not alone of thousands Of NOR,
a young Democrats, but of thousand
i more who have grown gray in tn
n service of Democracy, and who Low
n him for the record he has made. III

A third party can defeat the fret

IN Death has been laid upon the brillian
ID able and honest young Democrat ,

recommended in the above conmunici
y tion to the Democrats Of the COUNT

- But there are others who could |
u called upon, and the demand should

" The honest Democrats OF the count

W W ticket is the demand of the hour.
