MANIrou, Col, July 2l.-The com.
mittee of boiling republicans who
have been in session here for several
days, has made public the following
manifesto:
"We deem it fitting that we who
| have heretofore affiliated with the ma
tional republican party and who have
rejected the financial plank of the
platform adopted at st. Louis and re-
fused TO support the nominees of the
convention should state our position
in the presidential campaign and give
briefly our reasons in support thereof.
when certain delegates to the ma
tion republican convention repudia-
ted the financial plank Of the plat
form and withdrew from the conven.
tion we determined that we would
give our support to such candidates
as should appear most willing and
capable of aiding in the restoration
OF silver to its rightful place as stan
dard money.
THE democratic party in its Chi
cago convention has taken position
IN its platform so pronouncedly fa-
vorable to silver and has nominated
candidates of such unquestionable con
victions in favor of the bimetallic pol
ICY and of such high personal charac-
ter that we have determined to give
them our support. We support such
candidates because they represent
the great principle of bimetallism,
which we believe to be the cause OF
humanity of civilization and the para
mount question now before the Ame-
rican people,
| SUPPORT CHICAGO NOMINATIONS.
"We therefore, announce we shall
by voice and vote support Messars.
Bryan and Sewall fot president and
vice president, and we appeal to all
citizens and especially to republicans
who feel as we do tnat gold mono
metaIlism would be of lasting injury
to the country to act with US in Sc
curing their election.
"Tne democrats who believe IN the
gold standard are announcing their
intention to support Mr.. Mckinley or
proposing to put third candidate in
the field for the avowed purpose of
aiding Mr.. McKinleys election. A
great number of leading and inhuen-
tial democratic journals have declar-
ed they will support the republican
nominees. 1t is evident there is a
union of forces on the part of the ad-
Gates and supporters Of the gold stand
ard to elect Mr.. Mckinley and con-
gress favorable to him which will
support the financial policy outlined
in the republican platform.
| ."To those who believe in bimetal-
lism, which means the equal treat
ment Of both gold and silver at the
mints of the nation, there is but one
course to pursue, and that is to unite
all the silver forces and to oppose with
all our might the candidate represent
ing the policy which we believe is
fraught with disaster to the nation
and ruin to the people,
ATTACK M'K1NIEY'T POLICY.
"The representatives and support
ers of Mr.. Mckinley consented to the
insertion in the st. Louis platform of
the gold standard declaration thinly
veneered by a declaration for bimetal
lism, when the leading commercial
nations of the world should consent,
but until that consent was secured
the gold standard must be main
tanned. 1t is we'll known that this
consent cannot be secured from
Great Britain and that such declara-
ton for bimetalllsm means nothing
with this limitation upon it. Mr..
Mckinley consented to the declara-
ton for the gold standard in the
platform and in his recent speeches
heretofore made that he understood
the danger of the gold standard and
the distress which would be inflicted
upon the American people by its
adoption and yet he pledges the peo-
pie to support and maintain that sys-
TEN, and fasten upon them all the
evils of the financial system which he
has heretofore repudiated, if they
will make him president. Whatever
may have been his attitude on the
money question in the past, he must
inevitably hereafter support the same
financial system that the present
democratic administration has and if
elected must continue the policy of
Mr.. Cleveland in the sale of bonds in
time of peace. Hence, with the sue
cess of Mr.. Mckinley we may look
for continued increase Of the pub
| lie debt and the sale of bonds to
maintain the gold standard.
MONEY SYSTEM MUST CHANGE.
"We firmly believe that there will
be no return of prosperity until we
shall have changed our financial sys-
tenn so as to restore the bimetallic
system established by the fathers Of
the republic; and SO believing, we
urge all friends of gold and silver as
standard money and the opponents Of
a single gold standard to give Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Sewall their hearty
support. In advising this course we
do not consider it necessary that they
shall abandon or surrender their po-
litical views on other. questions.
PROFOUNDLY impressed with the
importance, we respectfully submit
the foregoing to the candid consider,
