COUNTERFEIT DEMOCRACY.


No better proof could asked OF the hypocrisy OF
the papers that hguratiyey pattng the Ohio dem
ocrats the back for giving silver the goby than
their silence with regard to the platform adopted at
the time the white metal sighted Take the Gal
veston-Dalas News and the San Antonio Express for
instance What have they found in the Ohio platform
to their taste? What aside from ignoring Bryan and
the financial issue, did the Ohio convention do to meet
their approval? Nothing absolutely nothing To take
their word forfit The general Endorsement the Ohio
platform has received is indicative of return to fun
danental principles.
Let's see about that.
The platform declares against the acceptance OF
free passes by public officials How do the News and
the Express like that2
calls for the making public OF the affairs of pub.
lie service corporations that the value the privileges
held By them may be made plain to the people, also
for the assessment of railroad property on the same
basis as that upon which farms and city estate Is
estimated for taxation How do the News and the Elk
press like that?
II condemns Capitalization of governmental powers,
snferenaly protesting against by lnjuno-
ton. How do the News and the Express like that?
1t is quite specific and somewhat elaborate with
gard 10 trusts and expansion, each Of which 1t finds
direct conflict with sound democratic doctrine Arc
Inc News and the Express inclined to rejoice that
account
Indeed not.
The truth OF the matter Is, those papers can find
