The Philadelphia platform is the
best evidence thus far given of the de-
ception attempted by the Republican
party. Taken in connection with the
speeches made at the convention, it
shows that the Republican party's plat
form in 1896 was deliberate fraud as
far as the promises of international BIZ
n.etallism were concerned; that the
party's attitude on trusts is insiucere,
and that the party is willing TO state
its attitude on the Philippine question
ard invite the judgment of the people.
Nothing was more manifest in the con-
vention than the military spirit, and
yet the convention did not dare indorse
the course of the president in 1893 for
