CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS
Continued from Second PageO

financial situation does not arise from
want of faith in the people. If the
Issue involved is presented to thcm
squarely they will at the ballot boxes
in November decide it right The dam
ger is that the people may be deceived
by party platforms that say one thing
and mean another, or by party candi-
dates "who hunt with the hounds and
hide with the hares," who, seeking sup
port from both sides and fearing to Of"
fend either, will, like Mckinley, say
nothing at ALL
If the republicans in their coming
convention should, on a solid money
platform, put Reed or Allison or Cover
nor Morton UP, the world would know
that the party meant what its actions
purported.
But if the republicans construct at
st. Louis a golden platform with gold
en- stairs to climb it, and put Mckinley
upon it, with his free silver record
speeches and letters, the party will be
perfidious to both sides and will not de-
serve and ought not to receive the sup
port of either.
/ do not, of course, know what our
party will do in their convention at
chicago,
prophesy that we will do nothing our
opponents expect us to do and notmnS
that will bring disaster to the country
or deface the record or lnJure tine pros
perity of the party that has fought loL
the people against foes from Wlthih ana
from without since the birth of the re-
public and that will continue TO GO SO
as long as the republic lasts.

but the unterrited democracy IS llhe
the tabled child of the storms that rloeS
on the winds and it does not talter at
trifes like these.
The political signs of the times
confess, indicate a vigorous convention
and a lively parliamentary hand 70
hand fight, but the prospect does not
make me gloomy, for a too harmonious
convention has no attraction for me-
{ Devils with devils damned, says Mil

gree.
Our party likes party fight, not for
4 itself, but for the peace and happiness
and prosperity that follows the recon-
Citation in which they always end.
Near the conclusion of his speech
n Governor Waller told story which
q found a, response in mingled merr1ment
II and applause from the audience. He
said:
u .While was governor, and surround
Il ed by my stats of colonies, some one
u down in Norwalk or that vicinity tele-
81 sraphed to me to send down the militia
and quell a riot impending there. i
n didn't see any immediate need OF call
N ing out the entire militia force OF the
n state for the riot, and sent back a re-
N NV to the dispatch, advising that the
III sheriff of the county be called upon and
ID if he could not cope with the disturberS
u I would go down there myself.
"Now, 7 don't know as 1 will go tc

national convention one of the Connect
