The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-07-22
,emocrats, Silver Republicans, Popu.

Democrats, Silver Republicans, Popu-
lists and other minor parties, and were
filled by spirit of concession and good
will toward the true representatives of
every party who were against the money
power and for the cause of the people.
"The Silver Republicans, however,
knew that the cause of the people ire
spsctive of political creed, would have q
staupoh and sincere friend in that noble
patriot and soldier James F. Wilson, of
Warren, Trqmbull county, who has al
ways been Republican Of the Lincoln
school, but who, when the St. Louis
platform was adopted by the Republican
party, announced at once without hest
tancy that he would not support that
platform and by his vote assist to rive'
upon the common people of his country
the most iniquisous system Of money
which the selflshness Of man could devise.
James f. Wilson, like many hundred
Silver Republicans 10 Ohio who love the
OhuSt VI Goe OOunulOh p1opiVi OO"oVN H"'
day or isht to give reason for his
faith upon the platform and elsewhere
prior TO the election last fall.
"He loves the cause of the common
people, and like the gallant and Intrepid
leader, william Jennings Bryan, can
always be found as champion of the
toilers,
THE COMMON PEOPLE.
james F. Wilson was presented to
the convention as beiug 10 full accord
with the Chicago platform, and as re-
futation to the charges that the conven-
tion was not concessive and generous to
all parties represented therein it will be
noted that Mr. Wilson was nominated
receiving 744 votes the highest numbtr
Of ballots cast for any candidate on tie
ticket.
The new Democracy, with her allies,
Silver Republicans, Populis's and other
ollied forces, Las a great work TO perform,
and must stand firmly on the high ground
she has taken. We must fight for the
cause Of the people as we never fought
before. We have an eutrerched and
treaoherous enemy to rout; arrogant,
resourceful and unscrupulous, using
every means of deception and fallacious
reasoning to poison the minds Of the peo-
pie against those who ore in the ffld
working for their CHE people's) cause.
Democracy, with her allied forces, must
contend with the insidous forces within
herself, which she has not been entirely
abl1 TO cast out as yet
I'VE must contend against the rnbber
barons Of plutooraoy on every hand who
have secretly or openly allied themselves
wi the gold or Hanna Republican party.
From the great importancs of the
cause have been free to express my views
as to the position of the two contendiDg g
forces. The people, the toilers, on the
one side, represented under the banners
of regenerated Democracy and her allies,
Populists, Silver Republicans, National
lists, and patriots from all organizations
Of the people; and upon the other side
arrogant plutocrsoy and the money
power, is represented under the banner
of the Republican party and Gold Demo
cracy.
In conclusion can say with frank
ness and sincerity that the whole ticket
nominated by the delegates of the people
at Columbus on the 3Oth of June is oom-
posed of noble men, who have the in
terests of the common reopl, at heart,
No man who has the welfare of his state
and country at heart should fail in his
support Of the same.
