In the indianapolis platform the
Democrats Of the country have an
ideal expression of the true principles
of their party" said Judge J. ]. Nc
Cafferty yesterday. 'In the candi-
dates chosen they have the truest and
best representatives Of a Democracy
that is for the people and for the best
interests Of the nation. The declara-
lions of the platform are the utter
ances of statesmen and business men.
and not of misguided disciples of ex-
pediency and silver mine owners. The
convention has given the country
platform based on the principles of
Jefferson, Of Jackson and of Tilden.
There is no trucking or pandering to
expediency. It has selected candidates
who are opponents of the platform
who have been and are genuine. ster
ling Democrats, and not wearing the
mask of Democracy to hide their Pop
ulism. Democrats of faith and prin-
ciple have an opportunity to vote for
a platform and~candidates who en-
body and typify all that the party
has cherished and contended for In
the past. Once more the slogan of
real Democracy will be sounded and
the party forces will rally around the
party colors to preserve it at present
and to carry 1t to victory in the future
The strongest and best men of the
party have already united on the plat
form, and David B. Hill will, I think
be found on the side of the Indianan,
oils candidates and platform before
very long. The convention was the
greatest patriotic outburst in the no
litical history of the nation. Every
man who attended the convention. the
nominees, the men who will be active
in the campaign, have gone into the
movement at great personal sacrifice
and without hope of gain or emoIu
ment. A patriotic desire to preserve
the party of the people to the people
mas been the sole actuating motive
The result will prove the wisdom O.
the movement. Palmer will save II

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-09-05

The candidates are wisely chosen from
geogra phical, as well as political, point
of view. Palmer is a Democrat of the
old school, whose party fealty has never
swerved, whose personal influence has
great weight with thousands of Dem
ocrats, and whose name at the head
OF the ticket will attract thousands
OF votes that otherwise might be cast
for Bryan. OF the wisdom of Gen.
Buckner's nomination there can be
no doubt. He was a soldier, as was
Gen. Palmer. and, although on the
southern side OF the great controversy,
was early reconstructed. threw aside
his weapons Of war and renewed his
allegiance to the stars and stripes.
NO more patriotic citizen lives today
North or South. That he was the
warm personal friend of Gen. Grant
more than offsets any criticism that
can be offered as to his loyalty to the
natlon. OF all the men of the South,
Gen. Buckner is the warmest friend
OF the Northern soldier, and the ex-
ponent of union and liberty The Sc
lection OF Southern Democrat for a
place on the ticket is in marked con-
traSt with the action, Of the Chica go
convention. The chairman of the del
egat1On at that convention was round
ly Kissed when he made a speech sug-
costing that it would not be wise to
name candidate from the south of
Mason and Dixon's line. The Demo-
cratic party knows no sectionalism,
no lines are drawn between North and
South, between North and West The
result of the vote in November will
demonstrate this fact.
1 want to thank the G o b on be-
half Of the true Democrats Of the
state Tor the position 1T has taken in
this fight for sound money and De-
mocracy. The editorial expression of

The chief political even of the week
just ending has been the Grand Army
gathering. With so few exceptions
that the Bryan men were not appar-
ent, the old soldiers are all for Nc
Kinley. No better evidence of the
allegiance of the soldier element to
the Republican party was shown than
the delegation from Nebraska, Bryan's
own state. OF the 106 men In line on

Bryan.
Everywhere the old soldiers are for
sound money" said Capt J. r. Van
SAINT yesterday, and the attempts on
the part of the Democrats to show
that they are for Bryan are childish.
An effort was made in this state to
show that the old soldier vote will be
cast for free silver, and every old SOL
der who has a leaning toward the
requisite idea was put upon the list
OF delegates to the Minneapolis con-
vention. This was done to influence
the votes of other old soldiers, but it

Grand Army in ST. Paul was the
strongest sound money argument that
has been made in this section of the
country. and will make thousands of
votes for Mckinley
The selection of the third ticket at
Indianapolis will go far to insure the
election of Mckinley. Kentucky. which
never went Republican until after the
Grand Army had assembled in the
state, will elect Breckenridge to con-
Sress on sound money platform by

The Denver Republican has made the
biggest bluff of the campaign to boil
ster up bad cause. 1t offers to pay
80 cents apiece for a million standard
United States silver dollars delivered
in London. If the Denver Republican
only knew 1t, this is but another way
of admitting that the silver cause is
lost, and the country certain to go for
sound money. In the event of a sound
money victory the Republican would
make 10 cents on a dollar A silver
victory. en- the other hand, would mean
loss Of nearly half million to that

and resulted in the loss of confidence
and the stopping of trade. After much
legislative dickering with a view Of
keeping up their value, these copper
silver dollars at last deprecated in
value to one ore, the intrinsic bullion
value Of the copper from which they
were coined. The attempt had brought
ruin to the country. Only few specu-
lators had enriched themselves, but
the mass of the people had become i'm
poverished. The Swedish farmer suf-
fered as much, and perhaps more, than
other citizens. During the hard times
many had been compelled to sell their
lands, and had received in payment
this silver copper money, which were
now only so many 'kopparslantar''-
pennies, and laborers who had saved
for rainy day found their earnings
practically worthless, swindled out of
the results of their toll. A Swedish
author who wrote about that time said:
"Cheap money is an evil from which
may the good Lord evermore preserve
our land and nation''

will result in disaster. The United States
holds more gold than any nation in the world.
excepting two, Germany and France: it holds
about $500. 100000. If the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
joint stock combine with Anarchy and State
Rights for chief clerks, and Reputation for
financial agent, forces it's theories into law.
this gold will vanish at once into secret boards
thus producing disastrous contraction of the
currency and reducing us to silver monometal
| lism. If our adversaries are correct in stating
| that contraction reduces values there will thus
| result a reduction OF values unprecedented in
the world history. Such situation can then
only be remedied by the issue of paper money.
When this is done, silver will vanish in the face
| of paper as gold will have vanished in the face
OF silver. Another issue of paper money will
! be necessary, illimitable in amount as all ex
perience shows, and we shall thus be on paper
basis. It must discomfort the Democratic
Populist mermaid that gold is returning pro-
fusely to the United States under the certainty
OF the election of Mr.. Mckinley. Eighteen
million dollars in gold have thus returned
within the last twelve days.
Is it not a striking proof of the political per-
fdy of the political hermaphrodite which at
Chicago proclaims State rights in the South
Carolina sense, which mains the power of the
Federal government to enforce it's own laws at
the dictates of Altgeld; which proposes to re-
organize the supreme court to register and en-
force by judicial decree it's flats of economic
destruction; which arrays class against class
the farmer against the wage Garner and neigh
Dor against neighbor, that in 1892 to regain
power it asserted that the Mckinley bill would
destroy the American people by raising prices?
1t made that campaign and succeeded upon the
theory that it would save the American people
| by lowering prices, and now in 1896 it seeks to
retain its power in a country which it has
wrecked, by the argument that low prices are
an evil and that they ought to be raised They
said in 1892 that free trade would lower prices,
they say in 1896 that free trade and free silver
will raise them. Since Mr.. Facing -both-ways
in the Pilgrims Progress, fiction or fact has
not presented character so double headed
doubled faced and doubled tongued.
