the following money plank, adopted
by the republicans at their state con-
vention in Milwaukee on August 18th:
I'VE believe that the declaration in
the st. Louis National Republican
platform for the maintenance of the
gold standard and the parity of our
forms Of money should be enacted
into law and the money of the Amer
lean people should be made and kept,
like all its institutions, the best in
the world
The friends of sound money desire
no clearer issue than this. Remember
that not only have we to elect ten
congressman, but senator will be
elected by the coming legislature.
Altogether the most important issue
that this country or state has to deal
with is honest money, and state that
has SO nObly stood for sound money
cannot afford for one moment to per-
nit the real issue to be Obscured or
the friends OF cheap MONEY and repudi-
ton to gain any advantage.
We shall have with us in this con-
test, as we had two years ago, all the
sound money democrats, Of whom
thirty-fye thousand voted the repub-
llcan ticket in 1896. Make it clear to
the republicans and sound money
democrats in your section that the
issue is as clearly drawn and as we'll
defined on this money question now
as it was two years ago. If the issue
is properly kept before the people, the
republican ticket this fall, congress
siOnal, state and legislative, will have
an overwhelming majority.

The Issue Is Before Us.

The issue for the present campaign
in the state of Wisconsin is now
clearly set forth. The democratic
state convention today endorsed the
Chicago platform, placing the demo
cratic party SQuarely upon the silver
upon which their ticket went down
to defeat in Wisconsin two years ago.
1t is the same free silver reputation
principle for which the silver demo
Gratis stood in 1896, and no amount of
talk or SophiStry can obscure it.
The democrats in their platform
adopted here today, have much to say
about state issues. Upon state issues
the republicans of Wisconsin can
meet them eagerly and gladly with a
record which will put them to Sha ne,
but the republicans must not forget
for one moment that the purpose of
the democrats in talking of state
issues at this time is to obscure the
real issue, which is the financial one.
DO not let this be forgotten for a
moment, that the free silver men are
in control of the democratic party in
this state. We have ten congressman
to elect in Wisconsin this fall, and it
would be a calamity for Wisconsin tC
send a single silver democrat to Wash
ingtOn. Here is the silver plank in
the Chicago platform which the dem
OcratS of Wisconsin endorse:
"We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to l."
In contradistinction to this, read
