Ticket or Platform.
Louisville, July 1O-The Courier our
nal will publish tomorrow morning
an editorial written by it's editor in
chief Harrison Robertson, repudiating
the action of the Chicago convention
The CourierJournal will say:
Such fool-hardy and bastard leader
the very life principles of democracy
will be disavowed by those democrats
whose subserviency to party form is
not dictated by their desire to share in
the official spoils of party success and
whose feallty to party organization
means fidelity to the views of the ad-
vancement of which the party is only
the instrument. Speaking for these
democrats the Courier Journal, whose
whole existence has been spent in bat
tie for democracy, rejects the new faith
of fiatism, repudiation and anarchy
which the Chicago convention has pro-
claimed as the democratic creed re-
fuses to support the nominees who have
been, in unprecedented convulsion, or
dained the apostles Of that faith and
calls upon true democrats everywhere,
sick at heart, thought they be, but un-
daunted and resolute, to stand forth
for their cause and put out a ticket
planted on platform that shall EN-
body alike the undying purpose and
the immortal record of the democratic
party and shall in these evil days of
storm and wreck shine a beacon and
lower bulwark for the salvation now
and in the future of the party which
was born with the birth throes of the
republic and which must live as long as
the spirit of the republic shall survive.
Let democratic convention be call
ed; let democratic organization be
perfected; let ticket be nominated on
a democratic platform, and let demo-
cratic campaign, thorough, jealous, un-
tagging, be made in every state of the
union until the November polls shall
have closed. We shall not elect that
ticket, but we shall save many sound
money democrat to congress-
Boston, July 1O-The Globe (dem) J
after speaking in warm terms of the
personal character and natural abilities
of the democratic nominee for presi-
dent says:
The Globe is not, however, prepared
at this time to support Candidate
Bryan. 1t does not approve of the
platform. 1t may prove the
wisest course for the democratic party
to hold it's organization in the differ
ent states, especially in the east and
conduct it's state and congressional
campaigns upon sound money plat
forms. By this method congress can be
constituted in a way which shall be
for the best interests Of the country.
Democrats can hold their organizations
loyalty and not hamper individual ac-
tion on the national ticket.
The Herald (nd.) says: The Chicago
convention has adopted a platform
which antagonizes the honesty and in
which If 1t should find expression on

basement of the currency, the prostra-
ton of business and degradation of
the national honor. On the other hand
the republican party has openly and
positively taken up its position for the
maintenance of the gold standard and
has placed at the head of it's ticket the
man who measured from an honest
money poitn of view is safer and
sounder than the democratic nominee.
Till the contest Is decided our
voice shall be raised for the election
of Mr. Mckinley to the presidency.
New York, July 1.-THE Times says:
The Chicago candidate fits the plat
form. He must, at any cost and by
whatever means are most effective, be
beaten. Better Mckinley, were his tar
iff record hundred times worse than
it is, than the disgrace and disaster of
Bryan's election, The convention is
populist, the platform is popullst, the
candidate is populist. There is nothing
democratic in any of them, and no true
democrat can support, them directly or
Indirectly.
The Herald prints the Suns editorial
of yesterday morning on the Chicago
convention with the following:
These are our sentiments and those
of every true, honest and loyal Ameri-
can whose word is as good as his bond.
The Sun condemns the nomination of
Bryan and predicts his defeat 1t also
prints an article entitled: mo third
candidate. Stand together" 1t ad
vises democrats to vote for Mckinley
New York, July 10.-The Sun has
bolted the Chicago platform and comes
out strongly this morning for McISiE-
ley, without reference to the nonlina-
tions to be made in Chicago on the
platform already adopted. In double
loaded leading editorial it says:
"The agony is over The democratic
party, assembled regularly in national
convention, pledges itself to revive the
free coinage of silpereat the old ratio Of
16 to /, and to accomplish the imposi-
ton of an income tax. The democracy
of Jefferson, from which have been
drawn invariably the ideas which have
given political stability and republican
enthusiasm to this country, has passed
into the control of Jefferson's diametric
opposite, the socialist, or communist,
or, as he is now known here, the pop

THE Chicago platform cannot be ac-
cepted. The United States was made
democratic and it must remain so.
Free silver coinage would be ma
tionaI dishonor and monumental an
achronism. Silver has had its day as
a money standard. The commerce of
