speech in iurtherance OF William J. Bryan's ambi-
ton to be President. But the regular Demo-
Gratis OF the city of Albany nevertheless accepted
the Chicago reputation platform, with all It's other
heresies and conducted their campaign upon tha'

defeat in a former Democratic city and county the
Democratic leaders would swiftly abandon such
weak platform: but driven on by tho demand oi
