The action of the Wisconsin Democrats
in indorsing the platform of the Chicago
convention is significant and important.
In no State In the Union ere the Demo-
Gratis more thoughtful and conservative
than in the Badger State. They were
among the lasttto become converts to
the free silver doctrine. put having re-
ceived the light, they are as determined
as any free silver men in the land. They
are always careful as to their platform
of principles, regarding It as something
more than a mere trap to catch gudg-
cons. They are not persuaded that the
fate of their cause depends on any one
man. and without the least feeling
against Colonel Bryan they do not con-
slider his nomination a necessity.

Shut out the wrangie of the ella hing day.

The snari and yelp of brute beasts for bone
When thou and ! sit down at last alone,
