maintain and advance their party or

ends are to be secured. TO nom! gate
an independent ticket, one in opposition
as much to Bryan and Sewall as I: would
be to Mckinley and Hobart, would not
only make it impossible to restore free
coinage of silver during the lifetime OF
the youngest in the coming convention,
but it would practically annihilate the
peoples party as far as followers are
necessary to max a party. The load
ers' might hold frantically 20 the organ
zation during the campaign, bur at lts
close they would find its followers in full
fellowship with the democratic party ana
having voted its ticket under the name
and emblem of that party. If Bryan
should be elected they would find little
obstacle to continuing with it.
Instead of nominating others the peo-
pies convention should nominate, not m
dorse, Bryan and Sewall. The conNen-
ton should make these two men its own
homnees-the party nominees. J. should
adopt its own platform of principles and
place them upon it as their choice for
president and vice president. Having
done this the delegates can return 20
