THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.


The gold organs tell you that the
republican national platform adopted
at st. Louis in this year of the battle OF
the standards, A D., 1896, is in har-
mony with the past policy Of the re-
publican party on the financial issue.
That is not true. The republican ma
tional platform adopted at Chicago in
1888, the convention which nominated
Gen. Benjamin Harrison, who was
elected. contained the following:
BIMETALLISM-The republican party
is in favor of the use Of both gold and sill
yer as money, and condemns tbs policy Of
the democratic administration In its efforts
to demonetize silver.

lick the skunk, but he would smell SO
badly for q long time afterward that he
would hate to do 1t. For that reason,
Harrison will hardly tackle HIM.

HE SHOULD ACCEPT.

The invitation of the labor unions of Chicago to MT. Mckinley and MT. Bryan to discuss jointly in that city the finan- cial question places the republican candi- date in a very close place. That he will decline to accept Is almost certain, and how he can excuse himself We are un- able to comprehend.
 So far as the democratic nominee is concerned it is just the thing he is look ing for. Several weeks ago MT. Bryan expressed a desire to meet Hanna's man on the stump and discuss with him be- fore the people the issues of the cam paign.
 The public at that time had every reason to believe that MT. Bryan's banter would be taken up promptly. It had been charged that Bryan was running for president of the United States on platform bristling with anarchism and socialism. Everybody knew that such doctrines could not be successfully de- tended before the American people, and here it appeared was McKinley's oppor- tunity. Bryan had challenged him for joint discussion. He was endeavoring to uphold doctrines, according to the de- clarations of Mckinley and his following that have no place in America How easy it would be, thought the public, for the Canton man to accept the challenge, meet Bryan and demolish him and his anarchistic platform. and once for all set-

COUNTY CAMPAIGN.
Chairman Greene Is Up and Doing-CentraI
 Committee Appointed and Headquar- . ters Located.

Hon. D. A. Greene, chairman of the Jef- ferson county campaign committee, has appointed the following central commit tee:
 John J. Altman, w. H. Stanley, N. A. Barrett, r. k. Blackburn, H. J. Cope land. Richard Fl. Fries, A. o. Lane, c w. Ferguson, F. w. Mccarthy T. J. Corn wall, William ReclSling, J. M. Gillespie, John Harrington, Tom Wheeler, J. B. Gibson. John R. Ellard, Tom Duggan, J. B. Aird, $. s. Shores, B. A. Thompson, J. ]. Curran.
 County headquarters have been located in the Lyon Terry building, corner of Twenty-first street and Third avenue, di- rectly opposite the court house.
 Chairman Greene says he will appoint committees for each beat consisting of from five to fifteen members, according to the size of the beat, to work conjointly with the central committee.
 He reports the democratic party in Jef- ferson county in good trim already, and that he has been assured of votes and work for Bryan and Sewall from sources least expected, some of whom have signi- fled their willingness not only to take an active part in the canvass, but to accept a position on the campaign committees hereafter to be appointed.
 You would be astonished," remarked MT. Greene to the reporter, "at the num- Der of former populists, and even repub- licans, who have volunteered to tell me they are going to support Bryan and Sewall. Yes, Bryan and Sewall-not Bryan and Watson.
 within the last few days continued the hartman. "there has been a notice- able change--not so much change as the lining up of the voters. The Indian apolis fever has about died out.
 Another thing noticeable is that the voter expresses. himself more openly, and with determined purpose to think and vote as he pleases and for what he con- sidels the best interest of himself and people, and this class I notice are almost to a man for Bryan and Sewalt.
 "Of course it will not do to be over confident and think there is no work to be done The harder we work the larger tine majority, and the larger the rnaJorlty the more satisfactory to all concerned will be the result"
 The party chose well in placing MT. Greene at the head of the campaign com mittee, and he is not going to ieave stone unturned to secure grand victory for democracy in Jefferson in November

FORTUNATE FOR DDMocBAcy

There has been feeling of unea asiness an some quarters among democrats since the adjournment of the Chicago conven- lion lest the sage of Buzzard's Bay should determine to get satisfaction out of the democratic party for repudiating him by coming out for the ticket. There as no denying the fact that if Mr. Cleve- land had come out boldly and indorsed Bryan and Sewall they would have met overwhelming defeat. Of this every ob- servant democrat was aware; therefore it was but natural that fears that he would pursue that course were entertain- ed. True. many people who saw the opening and realized fully the opportuni- ty for the president to destroy all chance of democratic success entertain no fears along that line whatever, because they knew too we'll of the exalted esti- matlon the president entertains of his own personal popularity and his entire lack of knowledge as to public sentiment. Having read no papers during the past three years except those paid to sustain him, and conversed with mo one save those who desired to agree with him in everything, the president is absolutely in the dark as to public sentiment
 such being the case, MT Cleveland has let pass his last opportunity to insure democratic defeat. His letter to Bynum, coming out squarely for the nominees of the body of political cadaverers recently shipped to Indianapolis from different sections of the country by the railroads, and furnished free grub by the agents of the international gold trust, was the last step necessary to democratic success.
 Thousands and thousands of voters were in doubt as to whether or not they could expect the democratic party to re- deem it's pledges, if successful at the polls, so long as the lone fisherman of Buzzard's Bay hestated to publicly pro- claim his bolt from the party. Now that he is out for good and always these men will not be slow in making up their minds about how they should vote. The going of Mir. Cleveland from the party means the coming of thousands of voters. For every one that goes with him 800 will come in his place.
 Next in importance to the action Of the Chicago convention in setting upon the agents of the International gold trust who were there trying to take charge of the party is the public announcement of MT Cleveland of his alignment with the National Republican Aid society.

JOHN J. INGALLS, ON GOLD.

'No people, in a great emergency, ever found faithful ally in gold. It Is the most coWardly and treacherous of all metals. It makes no treaty that it does not break, it has no friend 1t does not betray. Armies and na- Vies are not maintained by gold In times of panic and calamity, ship wreck and disaster, it becomes the agency and minister of ruin.
