''The Democratic party Of the state Of
Washington sends greeting. In the

lection as mayor of Greater New York
Will bring assurance to the Democracy
of the west and south. Mammon wOr-1

as q, united and purified party, we Will !,

The Herald prints dispatches from
! Democratic national committeeman as
| follows:
w. S. Holiday. Wyoming: "As a
! Democrat [ recognize but one authority
in determining Democratic policies on.
| questions that are national in their
| 5cope-the Democratic national con-
ventiOn- If the Democratic party is to
continue national in its policies, and
| LllEiElOIE iltllDllEtl IN It's fnaIdELETs all
| true Democrats mast accept the plat
/ form adopted by the last national con-
vention, the Chicago platform, until
| the principles of policies set forth in
| said platform are settled.
Democrats throughout the country,
! L believe, regard the result of the
! pending campaign in Greater New
/ York of being of such national signif-
| canoe that il VIII effect the Democratic
party for good or i'll in the campaign
of 1900. II 1 am permitted the option,
/ no Democratic faction in any state in
the United States will change the pur-
/ pose of the Democratic party, as set
! forth in the Chicago platform That
\ party IN New York that accepts the
Chicago platform ought to have the
support of all Democrats"
DEMOCRATIC FAITH.
Thomas c. McRae, Arkansas: 'The
| Chicago platform is the latest anthem
/ tic declaration of Democratic faith and
L believe it is the duty of all Demo
| Gratis to support candidates who stand
upon it in preference to those who ig-
more IT,"
/ j. NJ. Head, Tennessee: Il certainly
believe that compliance with the Chi
( cago platform should be insisted upon.
/ Any organization claiming to be DEM
! 0crdtlc which absolutely refuses to en-
| dOrse the national platform has no
claim upon the support Of the Demo-
cratic voters. / am not sufficiently adj
| Yised as to the rules Of party organiZa-
! ton in your state to venture an opinion
as to who is the regular nominee, but
Mr. Van Wyck certainly cannot law
any claims to it."
John Gilbert Shanl1lin. Indiana:
Were l in New York [ should support
Henry George because he is the only
exponent among the candidates for
mayor of the principles decided on at
! the Chicago convention, absolute low
atty to which is the test of the true
Democracy"
TEXAS FOR SILVER
]. c. Dudley Texas: THE Demo-
Gratis who fought the battle of 1896
should insist that the support of the
Chicago platform and it's nominees
should be the test. l cannot see how
the Democrats who supported the Chi
cagO platform and it's nominees can
vote q ticket nominated upon a plat
form which ignores the Chicago plat
form, and especially when there is a
ticket in the field reaffirming the Chi
Cago platform They cannot afford to
compromise principle
AINSLEE FOR GEORGE.
George Ainslee. Idaho: Every DEM
/ oerat in New York should support
Henry George. A candidate who does
not stand up for or indOrse the Chi
cago platform has no claim to Demo-
cratic support Such men elected Nc
KinIey and to be consistent they
| should support Tracy. Their pretense
OF being Democrats is but repetition
of the ass masquarading in the lions
skin"
j. H. Townsend. Oregon: IT believe
the Chicago platform represents the
principles Of the Democratic party and
know Of no reason why any organiZa-
ton other than national convention
should presume to enunciate the prin-
ciples of the party"
TILLMAN'S VIEWS
BENJAMIN R. Tillman. South Caro-
lima: The present situation in New
York City is most interesting and OF
national Importance. The result Will
show whether there are patriotism and
manhood enough in it's people to give
themselves honest government and
save themselves from slavery to
money. Van Wyck does not represent
Democracy. but was nominated by a
corrupt organization. hungry for the
Ioaves and fishes and too cowardly to
fight for principle. Henry George is
Ii the only Democrat running for mayor
in New York City, and all true Demo-
Gratis will support him, whether he is
victorious or not. As a member of the
national committee will vote for the
recognition of him and his followers as
the only representatives of Democracy
in New York City"
True L. Norris, New Hampshires
Frank Campbell New York: John NJ
J. McHattan, Montana; Bradley B.
SmaIIey, Vermont, and J. J. Dwyer,
California, hold that the Tammany
ticket is regular.
