The Chicago Times Herald says: Among
all the great industrial investments in this
country none is waiting with greater sus-
pcn>c and anxiety for 4 settlement of the
currency question than the railway com
panlcS, which now represent an invest
mcnt of over Sll 900, 200, 600. The rail
ways have been heavy sufferers from in
dustrial depression, from labor disturb

people have loved the money which had
the most purchasing power, but he would

Neither faction will be satisfied with a
candidate who does not agree with the
platform, particularly if that platform l.

convention will be one wherein one fac
ton can make the platform and the other
can prevent ihc nomination of Il man who
accordS with that PLATFORM
