President Cleveland than any other

of no uncertainty. Mr.. Benedict was

dent on a gold platform, rather than
bolt from a free silver nomination at
Chicago.
To this Mr. Benedict replied:
I'm my opinion Democrats cannot
consistently vote for a candidate pledg-

would be equally inconsistent for them
to vote for sound money Republican.
