ocra,ic party is best illustrated by
some OF their expires sions made at
the convention of the gold demo-
Gratis of Massachusetts held at
Boston last week Here is sam
pie paragraph from the speech of
Col. Melvin O. Adams one of the
leading lawyers of the state and
chairman on platforms: To-day
that mass of dream and delusion
(Bry anism) is spurned even by the
Nebraska farmers, who vote for it
and who now know the fallacy Of
the deadly parallel between wheat
and the white metal. Calked with
free silver heresies that same plat
form floats, an abandoned derelict,
upon q turbulent sea, sighted now
and then from some volcanic rock
by a Debs, an Altgeld, or even as
on yesterday by somebody or other
in our own state, but never again
to enter the haven OF American
confidence, to threaten and
alright "
The above sounds as though
there was a great love for Bryan
ism among the democracy OF
Massachusetts,. The plstform as
adopted contains the following
declaration of principles regarding
the currency:
I'VE adhere to and insist upor
the maintenance of the present
gold standard. We believe thai
the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, when the presen
commercial ratio is nearly 40 to 1
would be destructive to the inter
ests OF wage earners of depositor'
in savings banks, OF the insured
of the veterans and of the who'll
people. We believe that the pay
ment of debts, public and private
in dollars of less intrinsic valu
than those in which they wer
contracted is dishonOrable and dis
honest"
Free silver has less chance t
win in the political campaigns thi
fall than it had last fall. The ser
timent IN favor of it was an on,
5 growth OF depressed condition
that do not longer exist. TIL

the Boise Sentinel is a case in

story:

states seem to indicate the democ-
