7HEY SAIL UNDER false sVl9ss

Although the mass meeting at the Audi
torium last night undcr the auspices of the
Union Republican party was not marked
by an audience, which filed tho building it
was by enthusiasm and point Of earnest
ness and effectiveness oflogic. The speak
er was William A. Sutherland, Esq, q
| prominent lawyer of Rochester, N Y.,who
came here at the request Of the National
| Republican committee.
| MIR. Sutherland Is deliberate and elo-
| quent, and one Of tho most interesting
speakers who have been here this cam
raign. With him ON the Prottily decorat.
cd stage sat Chairman Wiley, who in in
Producing the speaker of tho evening ex-
pressed himself as confident of the success
| of William Mckinley and Carrot A. Ho-
bart. He was confident because he had
| faith in tho American people whom he
knew with him regarded this campaign
hs one that never was SO far reaching in
the sentiment of its issue which carry
| with ittho perpctuation of the Govern
ment and the interests of its people.
| Tho anarchistic declarations of the Dem.
ocratic party have caused Americans to
| forget party questions and allowed pa.
| riotism to take its place These men wi O
intend to support the Gold Standard Dem
| ocrats should be personally appealed to to
support the Republican candidates.; then
| the election that is sure to follow will
| bring prosperity to all.
Then Mr. Sutherland was introduced
and unlike many other speakers warmed
up to his subject from the beginning.
come to you this evening from what
William Jennings Bryan terms the
enemy's country and possibly come from
| the same conntry. The great Empire
| State he says belongs to them but don't
believe all he says and l doubt whether
you DO. am not your enemy. The same
Old flag floats over lis both. But this
! gentleman who misrepresents the state OF
New York is the candidate of u new party
! which has Just been born. He is not Il
| candidate Of the old party of Thomas
| Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.
lie does not stand On II Democratic plat
form. Those who have built it have tram.
| pied upon every tradition of the old party
True it is, they have taken tho same name,
They arc sailing under false c0lors They
are pirates who have stolen the Democratic
ship of state and who fly the same flag.
They have put under foot the old officers
and crew. But they will be stopped
A convention was held out at Chicago
and from my State and yours there went
our greatest men, prepared to stand by
the principles of tho old Democratic
party.
Men who never swerved from the path
as followed by jefferson aud jackson.

sat upon and only the voices Of anarchists
heard. Altgeld and Dcbs, nominated,
controlled tho convention and issued the
platform Debs was there because he was
opposed to tho court issuing in
iunctions,wc had u man in our state John
Y, Mckane who was opposed to the same
thing dc said injunctions don't go in
ballot box stuiling cases but the slow
process OF the law went; injunction was
issued and now the man is in Sing Sing
Dcb5 went to Chicago to stop tho mail
trains Of the United Stated Government
He also went into Pennsylvania and when
he came out said he was against
government by Injunction.
He said the same thing at Chicago.
Mary Lease was also there. She
wanted adollar that would stay ut home.
10 do this Mary said the dollar would
have to be made so cheap that no one
would want it, All New York's sound
money men raised up but Mary said the
dollar was too good Altgeld said he
thought it time railroads stop running in
and OUT Chicago with out his consent.
This was pleasing to the convention.
Altgeld's action resulted in the forming Of
Il mob which destrr I'd roth life and prop
erty. Then came what was the shining
star in the history of President Cleveland
He said tho Government should be respect.
cd even in Chicago
The mails shall go and the boys in bluo
shall sec to 1t that peace is restored They
went and the trains were soon moving.
Interstate commerce was rcOpcncd and
the mails were unharmcd. Altgeld didn't
like this He went to the convention and
dominated that body. He said wo must
dcnounce Federal Interference in local af-
fairs rs constituting a crime against free
institutions.
There was another class there who for
five years had been assiduOllsly cultivat.
ing tho minds of the American people to
the argument for the unlimited coinage
of silver dollars made OF 90 cents worth Of
silver.
No wonder they stole the namo of u
party. Is it any wonder they are sailing
under false cOlors? If they can do this
they would stamp on our dollars an ever
lasting lie by saying that 30 cents worth of
silver makes q dollar. The platform was
also revolutionary one and on it an un
known man was placed and now he wants
the American people to send him to the
position held by. Washington, Lincoln,
Jefferson, Jackson and Grant. 1t is no
wonder that under thcs6 circumstances
men without regard to party principles |
have ilucked under one standard and that |
for the best interests of the American
people. !
That standard was raised at st. Louis |
and to it all Americans will rally rs earn |
est men to save the country for Mckinley |
and Hobart. There Is no other place to 60. |
There are men in the North, South, East |
and West who will flock to the standard.
Why Is it that cX- Governors Of New York, |
Illinois, Kentucky, present secretary of
the treasury men who have fought against
each other In tho great strife of 81 to %
now rally once moro around the lag. BE
cause OF four propositions in this platform
all tn lpiv nil ntrin in,
gether. Some are slow about coming but
the majority are coming and clusping
hands and intend to make u sure thing of
it.
First, because this country cannot stand
a constantly lluctuating currency, even to
b neiit a fow men who arc worth forty
millions of dollars, and half dozen mine
owners. With the sale of unstaple COM
lnodtles over IN China every merchant at
II O'Clock Of each day receives the news
from the bank stating the value of the
Mexican dollar for that days business.
Then the pencil goes TO work on the goods
and not until that timo do the merchants
know what TO charge. 1t Is common
thing to have the standard of the money
raised or lowered without the consent of
he owners. A merchant wouldn't want
, yard stick that would stretch wi houb
MS consent when he wasn't using 1t. 1t
would bring confusion to all who would !
lavc to hnl die 1t.
