ONLY GROUND FOR HOPE
for the betterment Of the distressed condition
OF all the classes, except those who live by
tn increment that money loaned gives to
those who loan 1t, we appeal to all classes
to rally to the support of the only candi-
dates whose success indicates any hope Of re-
lief. Let the merchant and business man,
whose dwindling and lessened profits, despite
his care and economy, greet him, face to
face, with prospective bankruptcy and ruin
the professional man whose best efforts
scarcely afford him compensation for his la
Dor; the farmer, the continually falling prices
OF whose products have left him no returns
Ior capital invested and work performed
and last, but not least let the grand army

In Mr.. Bryan the Chicago convention
paced at the head of it's ticket gentleman
oI exceptional ability and of high Character
NO man OF his age was better known through
out the United States than he, He com
manded the admiration and resoact of ali
ms associates in th1t body as a scholarly
student and profound thinker No man had
ever assailed his character, or In anv wav
questioned his integrity or MORAL worth
Ills character is fit example for the Young
men OF this country. He has shown in ali
MS MS pupIc utterances that he loves jlls coun-
lfy ana MS countrylnen, and that he syn,pa-
tnlzes with them in their distress He has
also shown that he believed the financial
system which makes gold the standard of
va vaIues was IN great degree productive Of
tne depression and financial distress prevalent
here throughout the land; that the condition
now existing will continue while the PRESENT
monetary system lasts, ana that he would

system by the usual constitutional methods.
This Is a critical period Of our natioual
history. We urge all friends of gold and
silver as standard money and the opponcnts
OF single gold standard 10 give to Mr.
Bryan and Mr.. Sewall their hearty SUPPORT
In advising this course, we do not consider
it necessary that they shall abandon or sur
render their political views en- otner a;ies-
