was "a soldier. (Applause)
Because. in this double character OF
cx-Rcpuolican and soldier. he illustrates
ths depths 10 whi.h society IS stirred
in this campaign. As ex-Republican he
stands as a representative of that large
and interesting number CT our citizens
who are willing to burst asunder party
Ties and 10 leave party associates and
make their party affiliations suit the con-
Nctons of the heart (Cheers)
And former soldier, he stands as
representative of those who having
willingly offered their service 10 make
this nation one, are willing to-day 10
engage in this great contest to keep
this nation. rather than a province of a
foreign einpiro. (Cheers)

see the Times Herald of June. You will
ma these words in the dispatch from ST.
Louis:
II is only matter Of simple Justice
10 Mr. kohlsaat for me to report what
every one in ST. Louis familiar with the
facts In saying them, that the credit for
having secured the adoption Of this
straightout and unmistakable money
plank by the Republican National Con-
Nention is due more to him than to any
one else
Then, in his own paper. is published
the statement, from his own correspond
ent, that he more than any one else. is
responsible for the money plank adopted
at the ST. Louis Convention. Now,
what does that plank say: We are.
therefore. opposed TO the free coinage
OF silver. except by international agree
ment with the leading commercial nations
OF the world. which we pledge our
selves TO promote. and until such an
agreement can be obtained, the existing
gold standard must be preserved.
NOW note the words: That platform
declared that until the leading COM
mercial nations OF the world would Join
In bimetallsm the gold standard must
be preserved. Now, what else do you
ind In that paper?
THE QUALIFYING WORDS.
''The qualifying words used by the
committee pledging the party TO cndeavor
TO promote an international agreement
are believed TO strengthen the platform
from political point of View. without
in any way weakening IT as q frank
and fearless declaration for the gold
standard. Inasmuch as II IS and has been
the Republican policy 10 promote inter
national bimetallism and such bifnetsl-
lsm H. earnestly desired by almost every
one Ia the country Of both parties moth
ing Is lost and possibly something gain
ed by giving the Western Republicans
a ray OF hope in the future.
Now. my friends, If you Will look
In that same paper Of the 9TH Of June.
only a few Gays b-1ore. you will lind
this editorial:
Every reference 10 an int. irrational
agreement IS shif,y and futile Il de
ccivos nobody. because everyone knows.
