was revived by an amendment offered |
10 the seed section by Bromwell. repub- |

The first review by republican menu
her of the course OF the bolting free
silver republicans of the West was
made by Mondell republican of Wyo-
ming, who found his text In the recent
defeat of senator Dubois OF Idaho. He
referred to the bolters as men raised
to their positions as much by rcpubli-
can organizations as by their own mer-
it's and that To join the enemy they
must sacrifice those who had stood by
them In the past-sacrihce the organ
ization which had defended them. He
denied that their step involved moral
courage. for II would have required
more courage To brave the storm of
dcnunciation and suspicion at homs
than o. break party ties. The men who
temporarily left the republican party
had been lauded as unselfsh patriots
by their allies. hut now the scales had
fallen from their eyes. He continued:
Nowhere IN any OF these states where
the republican organization was used
to further the interests of the demo-
cratic and populist combination for the
presidency has there been aught hut
treachery and deceit practiced upon the
men who made II possible for these
creatures To WELD the weapons OF their
deception. international convention
pledges were carried out by the opposi-
ton because there was no way In which
they could he avoided, but wherever the
silver republicans had not the "immor-
tai cinch" the cioven hoof of their late
allies had been exhibited. ISLANDERS and
misrepresentation had been used to
tear down from their high estate the
men who helped them to win their VIC
tory.
