great, on q great statesman or
scholar. 1t is, however, freely con-
ceded that be Is abdominally great.
There Is some cause to wonder
how it happened that the editors of
the Louisville Courier Journal, the
Evansville Courier, and the two
other papers quoted from, did not
at an earlier date become more ia
miliar with the character of their
former idol. There are other men,
as patriotic citizens, though not so
prominent, who realized long ago,
and who therefore opposed the re-
nomination of Cleveland in 1892 /,
and who were for such opposition
given the icy shoulder by some OF
their party friends.
1t is aquestion of great moment,
to be answered by the two news
papers and others. How did it
happen, and by whose influence
were the voters of the United States
induced to send delegates to the
Democratic Convention in 1892 ia
vorable to the denomination of
Cleveland2
If l might be allowed to answer
this question, 1 would do so by
simply asserting that the people
were so influenced in consequence
of the confidence reposed in Demo-
cratic newspapers and politicians
who had been corrupted by the
bankers and other friends of the
gold standard, or who were sincere
in their principles and the admira-
ton of Cleveland, who were also
patriotic citizens who had forgotten
possibly, that silver and gold were
and are Constitutional money.
If this last assertion of mine is
true, then it follows that any act of
Congress which is intended to de-
base either gold or silver by de-
priving such metals of their power
as money, is not only an attempt
to alter in an unauthorized manner
the Constitution of the United
States, but aims at Its entire SUBJ
version, is unconstitutional and
void.
