However. the main purpose of the
Standard, in assuming that silver repub-

the Massachusetts democrats did not de-

statement to the effect that the Bay state
bourbons had done so, as an evidence
that the national democracy is in line for
free coinage! Unfortunately, for such
a conclusion, the democratic party of the
old Puritan commonwealth Is no more an
