ONLY ONE ARGUMENT.
There is only one argument advanced oy
our orpt nents against prompt repuu'a-
ton Of the Republican policies-Ar. bEy-
ans views on the money question. mat
thread-hare scarc-crow IS last ios.rg us
last yestige of responsibility. IN 1876, II
barely served its purpose, and, no matter
what NAV be the result of this election.
it will hardly deceive those who intend 10
use it in 1900. 1t is pitiable to see men
who were in frenzy Of delight at the
success of Mr.. Clevelands tariff policies,
now going Mr.. Harrison and MI keed one
better, end upholdins, either actively or
passively, not only the Mckinley protec-
ton tariff, bur the Republican Porto Rican
tariff 1t IS almost inconceivaole that
men who have given their blood, their
money, and forty years Of unremittins
toil in protest against the violation OF
the Constitution. should now be willing to
turn it over 10 its despoilers. II IS useless
for them to try and make Mr.. Bryan the
ScaQegoat for such radical changes They
co him too much honor when they give
him credit for controlling the sober con-
viction of a lifetime. The whole truth
is that the spirit OF sordid commercial
ism is invading the South. and many,
who desire to go over to the Republican
: party because os its class legislation, are
+! using MI. Bryan as an excuse fof trans
ferrng their allegiance. If the hepubli-
| can party is worthy of any confidence, 1t
| can safely be trusted to enact such fnan-
! ciai legislation in the next Congress, as
| Will allay the fears of the most tilnid;
| laws which Mr.. Bryan has pledged him
| self to enforce. IF it is unworthy Of con-
| tidence, it should be defeated. We have
no word of criticism for those who have
become convinced that Democratic princi-
Piles, as we have defined them, are wrong
| and that Republican policies, as they are
openly manifested, are right; but we do
! not say, that such a change of sentiment
| demands a frank disavowal of Democ-
racy, ana an equally frank acceptance
| Of Republicanism
Fellow citizens, if you love the sacred
J Institutions of the country, rebuke the
party that is dragging them in the nire
f; ana cast your ballots for Bryan, Steven
!
! Now word TO all true Democrats For
! the next four years, our representation in
! State and District Conventions will be
I based on the vote that is cast for BRYAN
| ana stevenson in this election. We should
constantly strive TO increase the number
| Oh our delegates in those conventions, and
! give TO the city of Richmond the influence
70 "nich 1t Is entitled. The only way to
J 10 ms is 10 get every Democratic voter
| 20 'le pohs' and we appeal TO you to
| put forth your whole strength.
