Grover cleveland for the especial purpose
of having him. through the use OF pat

silver sentiment In the South, ana make
the leaders in that party as compieteN

patronage used to that political end. iI
win he remembered that Mr. Cleseiand
demanded that Democratic Senators ana
Congressuaeu give a decisive vote in the
interests of the gold standard before he
would even give out post-offices.
sThis deep laid plan might have sue

this iuncture, sprung into existence, ex-
,,osefs the Dlot. stood in the breach and
snnealed to the patriotic hosts of both
narties 10 check the scheme of the people 3

The Peoples party, with Amiga pa

nrineir,le. greater than aeyer before ex7
hibited by any party, stepped soutstde OF
its organization to throw its two million
votes soIidly,. for Mr.. Bryan. Had not
more than this number of those who call
ed themselves Democrats in, 1897, given
their stpport to Mckinley, the. cause OF
the peof1Ie and American principles would
have frinmphed this year. This, Glass of
DEMOCRATS viii surely support the party
Of nonopoIies and trusts in future. Their
nlaces IN the ranks of the reform hosts
must be taken by patriotic Republicans.
In fact Bryan would have been elected
in this contest had even 25,0O0 more
silver Republicans come to the rescue.
sarhe election of Mckinley and the
triumph of the gold standard does not
