In June 1893. I was discussing the silver
question at Jackson. Miss. when a gentle
man in the audience asked me II l would
support a gold-standard candidate on
gold-standsrd platform. af tho Demo-
cratic Convention should nominate such
candidate. 1 answered that while 1 did
not believe that the Democratic party
would take such action. ] would refuse
TO support the nominee IN the event that
it did select a gold-standard candidate on
a gold-standard platform. 1t was this
statement to which Mr.. Carlisle referred
when he, q few days later. called me
populist and refused TO debate the silver
question with me at Lexington, Ky.

nYdiates the conditions Of the party, and
announces an entirely new policy. he Is

such new policy.
Men who agree upon principle can
submit their personal preferences to the
arbitrament Of a convention but men who
honestly diner upon the paramount pub
d.. Questions cannot AFFORD TO be harmo-

Cleveland would not support free-silyer
