R, A. Maxwell has also written a letter
about the third ticket, in which he says:
THE Chicago convention from the outset
trampled upon party usages, deprived a
sovereign state of it's voice in the pro-
ceedings assailed with unbridled abuse
Grover Cleveland, the only democrat in
thrty-siX years, who has brought the
party into power in the nation, and re-
fused to recognize even the honesty of the
national administration and of the thou
sands of democrats who constitute it.
Since the adjournment of that conven-
his representatives, has persistently sought
to complete the betrayal of democracy. 1
protest against this effort to destroy the
only party with a continuous history from
the beginning of the government, the only
party, national in its purposes, and in it's
following and the party, the existence of
d Which, in success or defeat, is essential
10 the perpetuity of our institutions. The
way to make that protest effective and to
preserve democratic principles and organ
haton is to support the candidates of
the national democratic convention at
indianapolis, which assumed and dis
charged the trust betrayed by a majority
+ OF the Chicago convention. The free
coinage of silver means a deprecated cur
Iency' and deprecated currency is an
other name for reputation. True demo-
cratic principles do not lead in that direc-
uon and as a democrat l refuse to follow
these new and false lights and abandon
'he political and personal beliefs of years.
