WASHINGTON, July 16.- Eckles
comptroller of the treasury, has returned
from the Chicago convention. He is an
earnest believer in the wisdom of put
| ting gold standard Democratic ma
t1onal ticket in the field as a means O
accomplishing the defeat of the free sill
| yer candidates and believes this should
| be done.
Mr.. Eckles said today: IT believe the
nominees of the Chicago convention
| ought to be defeated because of the
| principles enunciated in the platform
upon which they stand and which they
unqualifiedly endorse.
''Those principles ie crystallized into
law, would, in my mind, inevitably work
irreparable loss to every class of citizens
and cause conditions Of distress on every
hand. They are not in accord with
either the history, the teaG .ngs.or the
traditions of the Democratic party, and
therefore cannot demand support of
Democrats The point of interest with
Democrats who reject the action Of the
convention ought to be how the largest
and most effective majority can be Sc
cured against the ticket namedI My
own view is that the naming of candi-
dates of high character and the framing
of PLATFORM sound in every particular
would aid to thisl end. 1t would afford
an opportunity which otherwise would
be waning, to discuss this question be-
fore Democratic audiences by Democrat
ic speakers.
1.-THE educational work most needed is
within the Democratic party and it can
best be accomplished by those Of Dem
ocratic faith. 1t would also give the
Democratic press something tangible to
advocate. Up to this point the merit
of the question has not generally been
discussed in the conventions resulting
in the national one. There has been
more Of denunciation of men than of
consideration of economic principles A
Democratic ticket will double the num-
ber Of those who will compel attention
and it's accompanying vagaries to meet
to the merit Of the question and force
the opponents Of free coinage of silver
economic facts and financial history
with something more than historical or
dloIy anu pdSSlOudlS MEASUREMENTS. "A
four months canvass carried out upon
educational lines with speakers and pa
pers attacking the Chicago platform will
lose to the candidates standing upon II
many thousands of votes which other.
wise might, through lack of knowledge
or Indifference, vote for them. It will
not cause any Democrat who is deter
mined to vote for the Republican nom
inees not to do so. twill simply give
those who otherwise might vote wrong
the opportunity not to do so. The larger
the contribution of Democratic votes to
the defeat of the Chicago nominees the
better the end for tn usefulness Of the
party.
