WHY THEY OPPOSE BRYAN.
The Gold Democrats Object to His Adherence
to His Principles.
(By the Associated Press.)

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. John P.
Frenzel, National Secretary Of the Gold
Democrats, gave out today statement of
campaign plans and reasons for entering
the CAMPAIGN against Mr.. Bryan. 1t says
Bryan still represents all that is set forth
in the Chicago platform, the principles Of
which caused the Gold Democrats to form
a separate organization in SO.
in addition to this We now have his
action at the National Convention at
Kansas City, where he placed such en-
phasis on the sixteen to one idea-a direct
and objectionable opposition to every
thing the Gold Democrats have espoused.
In my opinion the Gold Democrats who
supported The Indianapolis platform in
'96 cannot consistently support Bryan this
time. If they do it must be simply for
the reason that they see in the so-called
threat of imperialism charged to the pres
ent Administration by reason of its atti-
tude toward the Philippines something
more dangerous to the country than the
heresies and fallacies of the Chicago plat
form, or that they have political ambi-
tiCcS.

sing where the Commercial Travellers
Club OF Michigan's capital city formed his
escort.
"Our opponents assert that the isseu
which they themselves have raised in
this campaign, and which they said was
paramount four years ago, has ceased to
be paramount issue now that the is
sue of having dollar worth one hundred
cents is no longer an issue of the first
rank.
1.-THE one indispensable requisite to
financial and industrial prosperity is
sound currency. It goes right to the
root of our national we'll being, and the
only possible excuse for disturbing the
currency would be the belief that it is an
issue of the first Importance. Either it
is the greatest issue that can be raised,
or those raising 1t are guilty of the
greatest wrong to their fellow citizens.
If they do not believe it is a paramount
issue, then let them abandon it entirely.
Unless our opponents are willing that
that issue should be regarded as impor-
tant now as it was four years ago, then
they did a foul wrong to their fellow
countrymen by raising it at all.
Another thing, next November all of
us over the country vote as Americans,
not as men of New York or Michigan,
or of Maine, or of California but as
Americans of the entire country. You
cannot have an issue raised which shall
be an issue in one part of the country and
not in another. You cannot talk like
sucking dove about it east of the Mis-
sissippi River and roar like a lion about
it west of the Mississippi River. Our
currency is the currency of the whole
country. There is no local option about
it. If our opponents believe in free sill
yer to the extent of specifically reas-
sorting it in their platform at Kansas
City, then they have no excuse save
lack of sincerity in not insisting upon
it with equal plainness on every pat
form in the land. You cannot say that
free silver is not an issue in the East
and Middle West, and yet try to say that
it is just as much an issue as ever in the
Far West"
