They have not suffered by defeat They
have not su ffered by their temporary re-
lection by the people. They are endeared
to every American heart. Their defeat
before the American people never brought
good to any American interest and their
triumph has brought only good to the
| American people. These principles are
to be tried before you this year. What

ANSWER IN NOVEMBER?
What are these principles? A protective
tariff that takes care of every American
interest and secures the highest good to
American labor; principal that insists

New York, June 27.-Hon. William @.
Whitney, in an interview today, said that

silver Democrats to call another state
convention providing the Democratic

Maine will fall in line with the national
convention, adopt silver platform and
nominate a candidate for governor In the
same line. If such is the case Hanson him
self is the logical candidate.
