There is hardly q doubt that free

chief plank in the national democratic

the republican party must declare in
their platform for the single gold
standard, or adhere 10 the straddle Of
1896, which the people now know
means the same thing with that party
as the gold standard. There must be
a great atd distinctive national issue
upon which the fight is waged, and
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
OF l6 tol presents the issue so plain'y
aud marked that the republican party
and its campaign speakers cannot
dodge it by an array Of platitudes and
campaign literature designed to mis-
lead the people. The dodge Of the
