AS n democrat ! Thought | had right
to ask n democratic question Of DOM
oc,atic candidate for any political office
within the gift of the democratic party,
consider the question not only pertinent
but very important Just AT this time I
for one. stand on the Chicago platform as
the last expression of democratic faith.
not only stand on the platform. but
mort heartily iniorse every plank In IT,
Consequently no man claiming to be a
democrat can secure my individual sup
port, from constable to president, Who
does not do the same; nj lenst. a, long
as such material can he found competent
10 discharge the duties OF the office to
which he may aspire. In conclusion.

self, that ! state frankly the origin of or
what gave rise TO the letter | wrote. II
has been said by few Of my democratic
friends in this county that in the event
of your election MS governor you would be
lust az liable to appoint men to office who
voted for the Palmer and Buckner or Nc
ttinley and Hobert electors. as those who
ndorsed the Chicago platform ana cast
their ballots for Bryan and Sewall | be-
lieve this to be Islander on your good
name as a gentleman and as democrat.
