From Manifesto by the Illinois Sound
Money Democrats.

A national convention convened under
the constituted authority of our party
has just closed its sessions in the city of
Chicago.
1t entered upon its work by violating
all precedents in the rejection of dis
tinguished Democrat as it's temporary
presiding officer.
1t deprived sovereign state of a voice
in it's deliberations by unseating without
cause or legal justification delegates
elected with all the regularity known to
party organization.
1t refused to endorse the honesty and
fidelity of the present Democratic ma
tional administration.
1t adopted a platform which favors the
free and unlimited coinage of silver by
this country alone at the ratio of 16 to 1,
and thereby it repudiated time-honored
Democratic principle which demands the
strict maintenance of a sound and stable
national currency.
Finally, to make it palmer that, al
though in name, it not in fact a
Democratic convention, it nominated for
President one who is not in his political
convictions, and has not always been
even in his professions, a Democrat.

Senator Palmer Out.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 11.-Senator John
NJ. Palmer has come out openly against
the Chicago platform and nominees
Bryan and SewalI. He said today that
he personally knows of 500 Democrats
in this tSangamon) county who will not
support the ticket, and he thinks there
are twice that number who will not. He
continued:
No Democrat, 50 far as I have been
informed, will support the Populst ticket
nominated at Chicago My own plan is
that the Democrats of illinois, in CO.
call a convention and nominate candi-
dates. / favor local tickets in all the
congressional districts and in all the
counties, in order to preserve the Demo
cratic organization.
Having thus stated his views as to the
course that ought to be pursued the
senator was asked if he thought there
was any danger to be expected from the
silver movement He replied:
Not L particle. Mr.. Bryan will re-
ceiye the support of the Semi-Populists
called Democrats, the real Populists who
are soon to hold a convention IN ST
Louis, and those fellows out West who
own the silver and want to sell it. We
will whip them out of their boots We
ought to have fought them year ago
and I wanted TO do il, but the people
seemed indisposed to move in the mat
ter. We will fight them now, however,
and give them enough of it

EDITOR DANA'S ADVICE.
Democrats Should Vote for Mckin-
ley and Not Sacrifice Prin-
cipIe to Party.

New York Sun: The political rea sons
for not putting up an honest-money can
didate this year on a genuinely Demo-
cratic platform are strong and obvious.
The nomination of another Democratic
candidate would contribute to the per-
sonal comfort of Democrats who are re-
luctant to vote for Mr.. Mckinley, but
it would accomplish nothing else. And
this method of voting for principle only
would surely imperil the result in many
close state.
Better far to vote for principle in
a way that will count
Every Democratic vote cast for Will
liam Mckinley the representative of
honest money and the nations honor and
the preservation of democratic institu-
tons against the wild horde now pre-
pairing to attack them, will do just twice
as much service for the common cause
a can be done by Democratic vote for
a third candidate standing no chance of
election.
Let every Democrat who appreciates
the magnitude of the present crisis keep
this fact steadily in mind: His vote for
Mckinley and Hobart is worth double
his vote for the best Democrat that
the sane part of the .party could put up
as a protest against the inquiry consum-
mated at Chicago
Is there any sincere Democrat who,
understanding all that the election means
for our beloved country, is willing to
his ballot of one-half its efficiency?
1t will be said that there are such
Democrats. 1t will be said that there
are Democrats who can persuade them
selves under no circumstances to cast
their votes for any Republican candidate
for President. Perhaps that is so. Let
them register their protest against Chi
cago by refusing to vote for presidential
electors. Let them concentrate their
partisan enthusiasm upon the state and
local tickets. They will help in this way
to defend the nations honor and the
continued existence of the institutions
which the regulators and the revolution
lists are assailing- They will help, it is
true, only half much as if they voted
for Mckinley and Hobart, but they
would help not one particle more
than that by bestowing their votes upon
| a sound-money Democrat nominated for
| the sake of their personal comfort and
political consistency
On the other hand. there are hundreds
| of thousands of Democrats, if not mil
lions of them. who see in the present
/ crisis call to duty only less urgent and
| inspiring than that which summoned to
| the front thirty-6ve years ago our patri-
