 The fact that the pendulum of Dem ocratic sentiment has within the last Tour years oscillated from fanaticisnn, populism and Bryanism to patriotism. conservatism and Clevelandism. is a SUI. perD omen that the peerless principles or Democracy are enshrined securely in the hearts of the American people. Free silver has been repudiated as a fallacious contention. and has been relegated as a vagary to the shades of eternal oblivion.
