The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-09-19

Leaders Of this movement realized the hope
iessness OF their cause and the ticket was
launched just for the purpose Of preserving
the old Democratic party, untarnished and
free from stains of Populism. The new ticket
will not take many votes from Mckinley but
states, particularly Minnesota and other
Northwestern states, Palmer and his running
mate will scarcely receive handful az votes,
because honest money Democrats are going
TO vote for Mckinley and Hobart.-WashIng-
ton County Journal.
Mr. Palmer Is good man, all right. but
what is the use. One Democratic ticket is
quite enough in this country, say nothing
about two.-Tyler Journal
The names of the candidates are of little
account-they will not be elected-but the
principles they represent and the platform
on which they stand are of vast Importance to
the country. The platform, denouncing yigor-
ously the Chicago convention declares une
qutyocally for a single gold standard with
the subsidiary use Of silver as a circulating
medium. There is no uncertain, doubtful
ring about the utterances OF the Indianapolis
convention, and is is cheering indeed to find
that the real Democracy of the country es-
chews Organism, and will stand for sound
money, an independent judiciary and sound
government. What effect the nominations
VIII have upon the Mckinley vote remains
TO be seen.-Isanti Press.
Senator Palmer served in the War of the
Rebellion in the federal army, and bears
became general In the Confederate army.
what strength this ticket will muster re-
mains to be seen. Evidently 1t will not ZEN
thuse to any great extent in the West-North
Iowa Times.
The great Democratic convention at In
d1anapolis last week-the first and only ma
tfonal Democratic convention for 1S96-made
another great puncture in the pneumatic cam
pa1gn OF the PolOcrats. City Citizen.
Democrats have a presidential ticket they
can heartily support, Palmer and Buckner;
and platform Democratic from the first to
the last word OF 1t. No need Of wasting a
vote on Mckinley or Bryan. Stand by the
time henored principles of the party. Do
right and trust to the future for vfndication
Waterloo Tribune.
They may call themselves National Demo-
Gratis, as at indianapolis; jefferson Demo-
Gratis, as In Pennsylvania, but there is no
better title for the sound money protestants
against the Populist aggregation than that of
Honor Democrats" the name applied to
them by Senator Wolcott, of Colorado.-Ta-
This drives another nail into the political
coffin Of the boy orator Of the Platte.
The Indianapolis Democratic sound money
convention last week nominated Senator Pal
mer. OF Illinois, for president, and Gen. S. B.
Buckner, OF Kentucky, for vice president. The
convention was largely attended and repre-
scented the substantial business element Of the
party. The ticket will cut wide swath in
the Democratic vote Of the country-Ransom
County Gazette.
The sound money Democrats feel confident
that they have selected strong ticket in
the person of John M. Palmer of Illinois
and Gen. Simon B. Buckner, of Kentucky
Both are well known and popular men Pal
mer Will carry large support in his own
state and the East, while Buckner is capable
OF adding strength to the ticket In the South
ern states.-Plainyiew News
Whether this ticket will result In the benefit
or injury Of Mckinley remains to be seen,
that 1t will benefit and not injure him. There
are tens OF thousands of Democrats, they say,
WHO, however opposed to the free coinage
OF silver, cannot bring themselves to vote
Tor the great apostle of protection Mckinley
and would eventually vote for Bryan. II there
was no third ticket in the field. This may
be, and we hope that it will prove so At any
rate there Is doubt now of Illinois and
1t makes OF Kentucky q doubtful state
Lester Prairie Journal
Their platform is built on the same Jeffer-
sonian principles that have been its founda-
ton since Its first organization and sound
money Is their watch cry for the campaign
Ihey are not organized SO much to capture
victory as to keep intact their party name
and allegiance, and to hold fast to the faith
delivered to the fathers One thing is
manifest; all talk Of disunien and division Is
superhuous now, since a commanding officer
that wore the blue Of the North takes as
MS running mate an equally distinguished
eflcer VINO wore the gray Of the South Each
was nrst among his cotlnfrymen in the arts
OF war and are DOW clear to the front in the
arts of peace No North and no, South I is
their war cry, the Union foreFer-Stfllwatert
