DIX noCRAIIC GAINS WHERE SILVER
WAS BErKAYkD.
The Democrats made their Coz
gressiopal gains IN the districts
where the silve issue was chucked
under the ia Observation-Disclosures Post.
The Washington Post is q gold
and monopoly organ. The above from
an editorial in the Post OF Novem-
Der 10Th is intended as q hint to
silver men that the way to get Office
Is to besray silver and the people
and make terms with the goldbugs
and monopolists.
The Post proceeds to show that
in the State Of New York where the
Democratic party refused to endorse
the Chicago platform and repudiates
Bryan and silver that there the Dem
ocrsts made great gains. In the
last Congress there were twenty.
eight Republicans and six Democrats
from New York; in the next Con
gress there will be from that State
nineteen democrats and only ff-
teen Republicans. The Post says
this is an object lesson to Democrats
OF course it means anlobject lesso1.
to the Democratic Office seeker
and machine politicians. The Post is
right from . gold standpoint. Many
Of these Democratic Office seekers
and mschine politicians in 9TH
or States than New York have al
ready scted on the same kind of a
hint AZ the one that the Post gives.
Simmons and the Ransom machine
have acted on it in North Carolina.
Mr.. Bryan when warning tho peo-
pie Of the country against politi-
clans like Dick Croker and like Sim
mons in North Carolina, said that in
States where the gold Democrats
were numerically strong that there
they would refuse to endorse silver
and the Chicago platform, but that
in States where the gold Democrats
were numerically weak they would
agree to the passage of silver reso-
lutions but would refuse to do that
which was necessary to win a victory
for silver. The States of New York
and North Carolina are two typical
illustrations of Mr.. Bryan's very
wise and timely warning. In New
York they openly and boldly repudi-
ated silver and the Chicago platform
and entered into deal with the gold
bugs and corporations and got a
majority of the Congressman in that
goldbug and monopoly State. In
North Carolina where silver was
strong, the gold Democrats had to
win by indirection and by deception.
The gold Democrats and railroad at
torneys captured Inc Democratic
State convention and did just as
Bryan said they would do if they
captured it. They agreed to the
to the passage of silver resolu-
tons, but refused to agree
to the union of the silver forces
and make a square fight against gold
and monopoly. In the language of
Mr.. Bryan, they refused to do what
was necessary to win a victory for
silver" On the other hand, they
did like their brother conspirators in
New York. They entered into deal
with the goldbugs and monopollsts
and captured the legislature which
the railroads will own, and succeed
ed in getting . majority of the Con-
gressmen.
While tho goldbugs and monopo-
lists are giving hints to the Demo
cratic Office seekers and Democratic
machine politicians, suggesting to
them how to betray silver and the
people and to win by the help of mo-
aopoly money it will be we'll for the
people to take . hint also. As We
nave before stated many times there
IS conspiracy on foot to sidetrack
Bryan and silver and the monopoly
question in 1900. The conspiracy is
BEING worked inside the Democratic
'arty, and the goldbugs and monop-
lists and trusts are putting up the
money. The plan was organized |
'ver . year ago. It has succeeded
a North Carolina and in q number
Il other States in this election. I'll

ate and the allied trusts and mo-
opolies are determined to rule this
ountry and enslave the people.
