A man who could entertain strong
convictions in favor of the gold stand
ard In 1896 is the man whose Cour-
aSe and cleaTuess of vision NAV he
safely relied upon. It was no easy
matter, twelve years ago to stand IN

pose the free silver folly which had
taken such strong hold upon the mind
and imagination of the people. and it
comes as a natural consequence that
when such a man is nominated for
the second place on the Democratic
ticket. the people should rally to his
support This endorsement will have
something more behind ii than mere
party discipline. II will receive SUD-
