OF the. hadefs of that element who

against the nomination of an indepen-

going to vote for Mckinley, and arge
all Democratic honest money ufen to
do the same. The present indications
are that this view will be tSken by so
many of the Gold Democrats that the
third ticket will not be put up. In fact
there seems to ir rather more antipithy
to BRYAN among the sound money
