1t is truly pitiful TO witness the
desperate straits in which the self
styled Sound money" Democrats
find themselves in attempting to ex-
cuse their base treachery. Senator
Caffery made himself ~ludicrous, and
reflects but small credit upon his
boasted legal acunen when he weeps
such copious tears over the fact that
the Chicago convention pronounced
the special gold contracts as con-
trary to public policy. Is it posi-
BILE that the Senator has forgotten
the numerous other contracts which
are prohibited?
