al Toledo were men, all bearing the ear
tag of either Hanna or Foraker, rival
bosses, and representing the victory for
one or the other such bosses in every
county of the state. And such body
hypocritically assumed to be acting for
the country's welfare. The contests at
the Democratic primaries, where there
could have been said to be a contest,
were friendly rivalry as to candidates
for governor. They were not as to which
boss should be enthroned.
ut is expected that your temporary
chairman shall strike the key note of
the coming campaign. Well, that key
note shall be sounded on silver chord,
1t will be no new. note, but prolonga-
ton of that sounded by the national
convention at Chicago last summer and
one that has grown in power and volume
since carried in a grand diapason of
over six million voices to the polls last
November. There may be some in this
convention, though 1 doubt it, who
hoped that the silver note was silenced
There were many in the land who imme
diately after last November election
hoped and believed 80, but to all. such
Republicans, Mckinley Democrats or
followers of the dudes and dotards who
met at Indianapolis the renewal of the
slogan of free silver, and in Kentucky
will be a warning that the fiery cross is
speeding over mountain and valley
over hill and dale, over field and forest
summoning the silver clansmen to fight
the great battle for the people and re-
ceiving no weak or uncertain response.
Who doubts that the rich men are des
pots, who that looks calmly ahead but
knows that unless prevailing conditions
are soon changed the poor will become
'bandittl?' Five millions of men are
begging for leave to toll All classes

'The panacea for all the ills attempted
to be applied by the present administra-
ton Is higher taxes. The duties provided
for in the Dingley bill are laid expressly
for the so-called protection of certain
industries which must be so favored be-
cause Of an ante-election contract to
that effect made by Mark Hanna for
valuable consideration. tits a bill such
as James G. Blaine denounced as not
designed to furnish a market for bar

lures of the bill, if sufficient-as is
claimed for ito increase our revenue
do not disclose the elements which will
bring prosperity generally to the coun-
try and the bill furnishes no remedy to

greed of the Pierpont Morgans or the
Rothschilds to make them.

is a remedy for the present ills 1t is
the restoration by law to it's ancient con-
stitutional and lawful place alongside

"All other questions sink into insig

Let that be our war cry and make that
the end and aim of our warfare.
"Victory thus won will be but the
prelude to the much greater victory We
shall win when, in 1900, under the lead
ership of William J. Bryan, we shall
sink the golden idol in the sea of eter-
