From the reports published in the

counties held conventions" Saturday
to send delegates to the Louisville
rump meeting Thursday. In many
counties the lists of delegates includ-
ed many loyal Democrats who were
not present, and were not in sympa
thy with the movement having for its
object the disruption of the Demo
cratic party. A long list of this sort
was sent out from this county. In
one or two cases Democrats were
present and personally protested
against the use of their names as
boilers and yet they We're published

The advocates of the British gold
system tell us we must not adopt free
coinage because the poor Republic of
Mexico has it, but must follow the
example of the civilized nations of
Europe. This is what we have been
expecting from the Tories. England,
Germany, Austria, Italy, Belgium,
Russia and Greece have monarchical
governments and beriditary orders of
nobility and these same Tories will
soon be calling on us to initiate the
civilized nations of Europe in these
things, and not to do like the poor
Republic CT Mexico. They will tell
US that the wealth and intelligence of
Europe is for monarchy and titled
orders and so we must have them.
