TAMMANY AND GEORGE.

Henry George says that he Ia not In
favor Of the independent froe coinage OF

part 1t is as follows

platform / ran on In 1886 and not on the
Chicago platform. supported that plat
form and the ticket last year because IL
more nearly represented tho ideas OF
democracy than the other. There were
Cleveland and Whitney and Hill. who
were only democrats to got votes. and do
not care for the principle OF Democracy, on
ono side. and the democrats who stood on
the Chicago platform on the other. I stood
with the latter. There are some things In
the Chicago platform which approve and
some which do not.
As suggested by an exhange, the two
most essential features OF the Chicaso
platform were It's declarations for indie
pendent free coinage and against the use
OF the injunction as a means for subvert-
ing the constitutional rights OF trial by
Jury before punishment. The Tammany
platform reaffrmed the National platform
as to indunctlons. but remained silent MS
to silver. II was because OF this latter
fact that an Independent nomination be-
came inevitable and II mixes things up to
have Mr.. George declare against indie
dependent free coinage. AS there is no
dlstinctively free silver candidate ms mat
ters stand he will doubtless secure tho |
silver vote, representing more closely than
any other candidate that principle despite |
his repudiation Of the doctrine. II ia GER
tain IN any event that he Is for Mr.. Bryan |
as candidate for president and will be |
taken TO represent what is called Organism |
In the campaign for mayor. There arc |
good many thousand workingmen In the
metropolis who feel strongly ON tho aues-
uon Of Injunction and other issues Of pe-
cuiiar interest to organized labor. but who |
90 not lay 90 much stress ON silver's free |
coinage and who might reject MIR. George |

matters stand II Is difficult TO draw a line |
on the situation. II will take a fortnight |
before tho situation resolves itself into
