Maiden: Such . time as We are having 81, i,
politics. I've had the worst lucl
#imag enable, and the mistakes thals haY
been i made already on our side are, a
the uctioneer's ad ertisment say to,
snumerous.to mention.
n the first place, We starteeai,ii too ear
Our nyention ought to have leel
the last instead Of the first. We though
We could elect even How dog thi
year, but the silverites have completed,
upset our plans. A lot Of Eastern dude
Went to st. Louis and insisted on insert
l ing stiH, narrow gnaged gold plank il
the platform. Says McKnley says ne
's1Don't you do it. The Ohio farmers

the gold plank goes, o.r you get out, by

came back here they quarreled with each
other as to who was entitled to the ahon.
or" Of that gold plank. They boosted
about it on the house tops, and their or
gans bowed about it. Mistake No. 8.
Now when one Of those dudes wants to
insult fellow club member lie says
''fou're the chump that insisted on hav-
inga gold plank in the St. Louis plat
form?" Such a change.
One great trouble with us now is we
don't agree. We started IN with the
worst kind Of a calamity howl. Our
platform reeked with it. Our papers
were full Of doleful articles about hard
lines. That would have been all right
f Cleveland Democrat had been nomi-
1ated at Chicago. But now it won't do
It all. The silverites say: stWe told you
70 when you fought silver" We started
a with violent abuse of Cleveland's adj
and ofsevere condemnation
# his financial policy and his bond sales;
nd now, by cracky, Cleveland's the best
riend we've got, and we are defending
lis financial policy, and have to acknow-
edge that we will continue his bond
afes- if we get the chance. O Lord! to
hink that the Republican party should
ave to endorse old Grover! '.fbensour
apels and our orators don't agree on
nything, and they make such bad breaks
'o1' instance Roswel} P. Flower, the
lew York banker, who is one Of us now,
lid to the farmer delegates in Chicago,
e says: 'sTain't silver you want; trusts
int hurting you; it's just because you
aise too much stuff that you're so poor.

And what was Whitney saying at same
line? Says he: sThe Democratic party
as a splendid chance to win, if only
gu will adopt the Republican platform,
md if you don't we're busted And
low those two very wise Democrats are
working for Mckinley. just as If poor
Id Mac didn't Salrt ady have enough
roubles Of his own. And there are 9TH
us. Thank goodness Grover hasn't yet
:ome out openly in favor of our ticket.
Every morning dread to take up the
laily paper for fear I'll. see in bold head
ines. "Cleveland Bolts the Democratic
Ticket" Shall mention any more ms
;akes? l could fill seventy six pages
with a mere reference to them. Some Of
our papers declare that free coinage Of
silver will make the mine owners rich,
as they will benefit by the rise of silver
TO $1.29 an ounce. TLen, again, they
say the silver dollars will only be worth
So cents if we have free coinage. There's
lots of sense in that, amt there. Silver
bullion will be worth $1.29 an ounce,
but silver dollars only ~ cents an ounce
Our papers started with strong abuse ot
the Democrats and Bryan men and called
them anarchists and 10 and behold
Herr Most, the boss anarchist, jumps up
and says he is a gold standard advocate
and then the socialists deny positively
that they are in favor Of free silver
Gold is .heir god. Don't that beat tn,
