act accordingly. They should not pus
themselves too much in evidence, but they
should make a special point of informing
such men as John ". Daniel and that !

treated in it with the very greatest posi-
BILE consideration, for they are recognized
as men of the greatest authority and in
fluence in the party. If this course is pur-
sued the New York meeting IS bound to
be fraught with good, and 10 bring good
results to the party. But If there Is any
sort of superciliousness shown towards
these men they will at once say the tail
is trying to wag the dog, they will refuse
10 have anything to do with the move
ment, and Il will die stil-born in its
birth.

cepts the gold standard, and plants itself
for the future upon the Democracy Of
Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson
Not a word should be added. Everything
else that has heretofore got into Demo-
cratic platforms has been the fad OF some
crank. and we want no more cranks and
no more fads. If conservative action OF
this sort is adopted, all will be we'll again.
