Il Tell You William Jennings Bryan is
Doomed TO Defeat"

II Tell You william Jennings Bryan is
Doomed 10 Defeat"
Mr. Henry Hutzler. OF Richmond, offer
ed motion that the convention adopt a
resolution ratifyiug the report from the
districts. II was decided that this was
unnecessary, and Mr. l.. Preston Parr
OF Bedford addressed the convention
briefly ind said what was necessary
after the Adjournment OF the convention
was that each member should 20 horae
and do all in his power and work hard
for the Advancement Of the sound-money
movement. The principles upon which
they were staining were simple enough FOR
anyone TO understand. The Populists
might declare that the sixteen to-one
theory was correct. but that didn't make
1t So any more than that water would
run up hill after the force pump was
removed. What they advocated was
sound money. sound Democracy. sound
credit. and honesty The people were
no more bound 10 the Chicago platform
than they were TO the IS to farce. lie
did not at any time feel bound by the
action OF an agent that misrepresenied
him.
In speaking OF trusts. he said that the
silver miner. who bought up the silver
mines and forced the government 10 buy
up their silver. and raise their profits 80
per cent. was certainly the biggest opera
tor OF a trust he knew OF. Bryan had
declared that Ia would not support the
Democratic party unless II endorsed his
views. What troubled him. said Tho
speaker was what he saw behind the
Chicago platform. IL promised robbery.
anarchy. professional agitators walking
delegates 10 stir up strikes and all that.
Think OF Watson. Marion Butler. Coxey.
Debs. Tillman. A.tgeld. and all that crew
working together for the advancement
Of their Wild theories" said he. The
rich man. the business man. the hard
working man had right 10 have an
honest dollar. They are the people who
work for the sound money. and they
ought 40 have IL.
NOT THE FIFTY-CENT DOLLAR.
II will tell you the working people,
many OF them. have been temporarily
mi>led but they have always voted for q
solid basis OF law and order. and they
are going TO stick 10 the honest dollar.
| tell you william Jennings Bryan is
doomed 10 defeat. and you will see IT,
He cannot carry through those O-cent
views. The people want an honest dol
lar. and they will have IL. Now. what
we want 10 do is 10 get straight 10 work.
and 60 right down 10 the question OF
votes. We must work individually for
the advancement OF a cause that will
maintain our national credit. and wipe
out OF existence a pest that threatens 10

In that platform there was scarcely
