will have strength in the election equal to
the Bryan ticket.

ought not to have done, and it omitted
nothing it should have done.
John B. Oelkers, of New Jersey-In our
State, where the majority has always been
on the Democratic side, the new ticket will
be very popular 1t will get 25 per cent. of
the Democratic vote. Another 70 per cent.

not be cast The people of New Jersey,
among them the better class of Democrats,
are disguised with the ring which has been
in control there. The Chicago platform
was the last straw. The new ticket, could
not be, bettered and the platform is
thoroughly Democratic.
Evans Woollen, of Indiana-There is not
a false word not a cowardly word in the
platform Democracy was never so ade-
quately defined. The ticket is ideal.

It is a better platform than we could have
fixed up before we came here. The ticket
will be voted for by 40 per cent.--perhaps
so per cent, of the Iowa Democrats. The
convention was better than anybody

accomplish their fusion and Bryan will lose
the State.
Edwin Sully, Rockingham n. C-The
