POST THE DELEGATES.
The Chlcago Platform shouid no Re-
affirmed Hnd closely Al"
hcFel 10,

What Ii a fur test OF party sincerity
during the coming cGmpnlgn2 Neces-
sarily thlsi - reallirmation Of the
Chicago platform
IL Is also the essential test for every
public man and newspaper processing
democratic allegiance, II IL, moreover,
the only test that can safely be applied
TO all delegates TO the national conyen-
ton at Kansas City, for II is they who
will nominate such candidates only who
were openly and actively loyal TO that
platform In 1890 and have remained
steRdfast ever since,
There are men In many of the states
who departed from party yin 1890,
deserted Bryan, the selected leader OF
the party abandoned principles dear
to the people and aided In the election
of William Mckinley, and ratified the
evils of trusts and It's train of mllINr-
ism, 1hcrcmcn are now attempting TO
return to the party, and they come
with mere lip service, They hypocrit-
lcally condolc with II and offer their as
glstancc TO give II success.
While the democratic party Is great
and broad enough to permit these rem
egades to return to It's bosom, II cannot
sanction their betrayal Of II by permit
ting them TO take up the lines they
left when they departed, 1t would be
an iiretricyable error, gross blunder,
to admit them TO the privileges OF fun
membership without long novtlnte
of good works to manifest the reaw0k-
ened f0ith In them, and II Is the prov
lncc Of Il democratic newspaper TO
warn the public against the oily orgu-
ments Of these men OF suspicious faith,
They have enjoyed The ileshpotS OF
Egypt and will return to them at the
first opportunity
They are leagued in conspiracy to
throw the democratic party back into
the clutch Of the plutocracy whencei II
WINS saved in 1890, That conspiracy en-
lists, and It Is being perfected by the
selfish politicians who dominated the
party prior TO lSO6, II Is being man
aged and financed by the wealth which
the Whitneys, the Lamontg, the I'ene-
diets and the Dlclilnsons drew from
the trusts which are making hcrculean
efforts TO control the national admin
istraton for their own sordid gain.
The wishes Of the people are law to
the democratic party and its national
convention will crafty their desires
unless the people themselves submit to
the treachery OF these Pharisaicol con-
spirators,
Bind all delegates down to the most
rigid instructions, This saved the
party In 1896, and II will save It In 1900.
These instructions must be uniform
and unchangenble, from the district to
the state convention, and from the lat
ter to the national convention, for It
Is In the latter that men must alone be
nominated who were loyal TO the Chi
cago platform in 1896 and have never
wandered from II since, Beware of the
pemlclous influence OF plutocracy,
which is ever active, and let this be
the shlbboleth:
Rcaillrmation Of the Chicago plat
form and the nomination Of men who
stand for all II means
Regard all opposition TO this irstruc-
tion Of delegates as strong evidence Of
doubtful party loyalty and the badge
Of consprator against the party sue
cess. Let this be the motto:
