it or would vote for it's candidate or sup
Democratic party the gentlemen who
took part in it were looked upon as
renegades and traitors, and yet
the principles enuncisted by this
convention and the policy advocated by it
were identical with those enunciated
and advocated by the regular Democratic
convention of two years ago, and pro-
fessed by the great mass of the Demo
Gratis of Massachusetts only little more
than year ago. Up to the day THAT
the Chicago convention adopted its plat
form the Democratic party of Massachu-
setts was gold party. The great mass OF
its representatives in that convention
were gold men. Prior to that Iconyen-
tion q free silver resolution would have
had as little chance of adoption in q
Massachusetts, Democratic convention as
in one composed of Republicans. Yet
great mass Of the party committed to free
silver and "a small and {. insignificant
remnant standing by it's ancient faith,
and being stigmatized as TRAITORS for SO
doing.
What has brought r about the
transformation 1t cannot be
claimed that the Democrats of Mas
sachusetts changed their beliefs on
the currency question because they had
received new light which convinced them
they had been wrong. The party was not
educated into free silver views. Nobody
will assert that it was. A change produced
by education is gradual. All are not
| illuminated at the same moment. Here
was case where the Democratic party
went to bed gold men and got up IN the
morning shouting for free silver. what
made the change? The Chicago conven-
ton. They had been saying for years
that they believed in gold basis for the
currency under existing conditions, and
had repeatedly proclaimed that as one OF
the cardinal principles of Democracy.
But the Chicago convention reversed this
doctrine, and Immediately the mass OF
the Massachusetts, Democracy reversed
their professed beliefs of life time, and
embraced the new doctrine with all the
tenacity and affection that they had
manifested toward the old. Tens of
thousands of men in Massachusetts
simply stultified themselves at the COM
mand of party convention. Either their
professed belief in sthe ancient faith had
been a sham, or else they held principles
as Of no consequence as compared with
the behests of party organization. Which
ever horn of the dilemma they accept
they present themselves as weak and
shuffling or insincere.
