great injury to the cause, not only
this year, but in 1900
We feel sure that in the bearing Of
your action on the general situation,
that you will not allow local animOsi-
ties or local ambitions to obscure the
great issue, which, in the minds of all
American citizens 1T this time, rises
above every other consideration. We
very earnestly urge you to call the at
tentiOn OF our people in your county
to the importance of this question, to
the end that it may be fully discussed
and understood amongst them, and
that delegates may be sent to the State
convention prepared to reflect their
will on this most important matter. No

will be appealed to and used by those
who are really against US, to obscure
the important considerations involved
in our success. Their purpose is our
defeat; we should not lose sight of that
room to doubt for an instant that the
Chicago platform Of 1896 will be reaf-
sfirmed in 1900, and that it only re-
er to give its doctrines place in their
law Of the land.
We have written to each County
importance of this matter on his at

you. to present it to the people of his
county, to the end that there may be
an expression of the will of the people
upon it in your coming State COnven-
ton.
Very truly yours,
