When. in 1885, the Silver Republica..
refused to stand upon the st. I-ous
platform, they declared that the r,
publican party was deserving its ira
ditional policy and that they were 10;
willing to follow the party in rs
change upon the money ouestio.
They pointed out that the Republica
platform in 1855 denounced Mr.. Clevc.
lands attempt to demonetize silver.
and that the Republican platform of
1892 declared that the American peo-
pie from tradition and interest favored
ybimetallism. They took frequent oc-
casion to quote Mr.. McKinley's speech
of 1891 in denunciation of Mr.. Cleve-
lands attempt to make money
scarcer and therefore dearer-money,
the master. and everything else the
servant.
Each year the departure of the Re
publicans from the early ideas of the
party becomes more apparent Lin
coin often referred to 1.-THE plain peo-
pie" and to the Common people,"
but any one who thus classes the peo-
pie at this time is sure to be called q
demagogue by the Republicans lead
ers. When the Republican party
wrote its national platform in 1856 it
invited the cooperation of oil those
who were in favor "of restoring the
action of the Federal government to
the principles of Washington and
Jefferson" and Lincoln himself was a
great admirer of jefferson. In 1859 the
Republicans Of Boston celebrated the
birthday Of Thomas jefferson, and
Lincoln In his letter OF regret paid the
following tribute TO jefferson: "All
honor to jefferson; to n man who In
the concrete pressure OF struggle for
national independence by Il single
people had the GOODNESS, forecast and
capacity TO Introduce into u merely re-
evolutionary doctrine an abstract
truth, applicable TO all men and all
times, and so TO embalm it there that
to-day and in all coming days it shall
be rebuke and a stumbling block to
the harbingers of reappearing tyranny
and oppression" In the beginning of
the party's existence the Republicans
appealed to the name and the prin-
ciples OF Jefferson. but ut Republican
banquets nowadays Jcfferson's name
is spoken with disrespect. and Hamn-
toms name and ideas are extraya-
gantly lauded.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS CHANGE.
The sihniiicancc OF this change be-
comes apparent when 1t is remembered
that Jefferson was the foremost rep
resentative OF the Democratic idea,
while Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in
his Life OF Hamilton. points out that
the latter was the representative of
the aristocratic idea. Lodge says:
The republic OF Hamilton was to be
an aristocratic. as distinguished from
n Democratic republic, and the power
of the separate States was to be effec-
tually crippled. The first object was
attained by committing the choice of
the President and Senators. who were
to hold Office during good behavior, to
