a well attended meeting Of the Demo-
cratic League was held on Saturday. j.
IAN address to be submitted to the Demo 8
cratic members OF the Legislature wa
) adopted. The address supports the action
Of some OF tho members In voting for other
chan Senator Gray. Among othor things
the address contains the following:
"When Independence Of pursuit Is taken
! away Independence OF manhood goes with
1t. Nopariy darss to defend 'hs trust, but
they confidently and successfully rely up
& on the favor OF the Republican party. and
have never operated 50 boldly as during
the present. administration. which they
B placed In power. The rapid strides they
havo made, while tho public mind has di
verted from domestic concsrns.to t no war
and Its problems, /, alarming. To thought
ful minds the simple question is: Which
shall he destroyed, the Independence of
mon or tho imposition OF monopolles9
The scarcity of money has made wealth
moro powerful and dangerous, and the
few who have been able to control 1t under
Ghe pOllCy VI AAOuolAu' huVo A'A
csd all the schemes Of the syndicates'
.'A halt must be called to all truss, the
parcnt Of which Is the money trust. The
Chicago platform stands marking the way
Of relief for this people. The men who adj
vocate 1t are actuutsd by Ito pride of opin-
Ion, arc panied to differ with some distin-
guishsd Democrats whose leadership they
have been proud to follow in the past; but
men worthy Of the blood bought right OF
suffrage arc unwavcring in thor convic-
tion, about what is best for the govern
mont Of us all. With this end in view we
do declare that the only hope of the pee
pie is to Join the ranks Of the six million,
ii fivs lund rod thousa froemen who sup
ported Brynn in 1898.
.'No man can serve to causes, he mus5 be
fer our platform and against its enemies
or for our enemies and against our plat
form. Those in positions of prominence
and power should not misead their con-
stltuenss by supporting any man who for
the United States Senate who is rot In an
entire accord with the Democratic party
r The fight Of 1896 will be wagel over again
In 1850. The people In state and natlon
are taking notes, those who want 10 De
counted loyal then viii not be able to ex"
plain their disloyalIy now. The Demo-
cratic vote in iii, Delaware Log islature
cannot elect u senator at this session, aud
sit is mere folly to entertain the hope that
liz can but it can and is performing more
serious Office than that Of bestowng nmere
personal compliment. Il bes,o"ing Its
favor TO men now, it is in effect commit
ting the party 10 measures and policies IN
the future which those men represent. Its
members should cast u vote for no man
now who is not i'll entire sympathy
with the issues which their party is Ill
tain In 1897 In 50 far as thsir votes TO-
fleet this much, they are answeraDle to no
one but their own Judgment and the pco-
Pile Of their Immediate districts as to
whom they shall CHOOSE to compliment:
bur they arc commissioned by the people
TO some man who Is absolutely loyal to tLe
dag under which they are enlisted
I'VE especially commend the position OF
those Democrats who have treated princi-
pls Us paramount to personality, and stood
by the advocates Of the Chicago PLATFORM
and solicit their fellow Democratic mem
bsrs to recognize tho wisdom Of theil
course and unite with them
