Was false TO nearly every one of the
rreat and glorious principles which
they formulated in 1896. What right
had jefferson to pose as "a Democrat,
anyhow? What pretensions to Democ-
racy had a man who actually believed
in applying business principles and
common sense TO national affairs, who
had old fashioned ideas about the sa-
credness of obligations, who demone-
tiZed silver when he saw IL was neces-
sary for the public good and who was a
civil service reformer.
Logically the only thing for the free
silver Democrats TO do IL TO denounce

various glaring horesies and formally
reading him ont OF the party, for it is
absolutely certain that il the Chicago
platform is TO be taken az the expression
