the regular democrat convention would
not meet their demands and
the nomination OF a separate
state ticket, with its candidates
running on the Chicago platform, was
the only outcome TO be expected. The
two propositions set forth by the silver
democrats are as follows: II the Tegu-

nominate only acknowledged supporters
OF Bryan for state offices, q separate
ticket would be necessary, IL the regu-
lars re-aillrm the Chicago platform and
