Seventy millions of people have a con- stant interest in the financial and industrial conditions of the country. Interest in the production and coinage of silver is large theoretically, but infinitesimal practically. Eight-tenths of the voters believe in the gold standard in businsss to prevent fatal fluctuation in currency and in labor, so that the wages one earns may be paid in the best money—in money which yields the largest results when used to pay rent, meet interest on mortgages, or for the sup- port and education of one’s family. There- fore, I believe that for every silver vote heretofore Republican which will be lost to McKinley by going to Democratic or Populist candidates there will be three Democratic gold standard sound-money men who will vote the Republican ticket.” Mr. Platt had this to say: “Like a good soldier and a good Republican I accept the situation and will support the ticket ROCKETS AND RED FIRE.

Counting Senators Carter and Mantle and four Senators—Teller, Dubois, Cannon and Pettigrew—who went out, there are six United States Senators who partici- pated in the protest against the gold plank.

The indiv and heeds it or falls ties must also obey t therefore, that the moment a party shall choose to stand still or retrogress it also be- | comes inefficient to achieve the end to which | the people are necesserily destined. There is 1o sanctity in mere party name, and the mark | of decay is set on individual strength in the Nation when the absolute rule of po ganization coerces man from the trut sake of expediency and establishes insincere submission to partizan rule for the sakeof power. 2 Recognizing the value and the splendid nts of political parties in this coun- try as elsewhere, we are yet constrained to be- lieve that for more than twenty years no one of them has been entirely sufficlent for the | needs of the people. The great trend to better | things resting in the heartand purpose of all | men hes been stayed during the latter part this generation by the failure of parties to e press in their achievements the highe e and aspirations of the mass of the people who | constitute the parties. And there has been | growing in this country, swelling with each | recurrence of National elections, a great mass | of independent tninkers and voters, which | failing within itself to control, has gravitated between the two great parties. | Since 1872 (excepting possibly the election | 1876) the pendulum has swung from side to In 1872 the Repub- | c side with each four years. lican perty elected the President; in 1876 the Democracy claimed the election; in 1880 | the Republican party elected; in 1884 me} Democrats elected; in 1888 the Republicans | elected; in 1892 the Democrats elected; in | 12396 (until within & few weeks) it has been | conceded that the Republicans would elect. What has been the cause of this mighty oscillation of & mass which this has prob- | ably obtained controlling proportions? Every | man can answer to himself. If he has been | an observer, if ke has had interests that were | affected; if he has felts hope to see a greater | justice done and has seen that hope blasted; if he knows that the general dissatisfaction has arisen from the fact that the party promises made were broken to the people by | party performance, he knows that as soon as | the election was over and successful candidates installed they became the servitors of the | party and the advocates of & narrow and non- | progressive policy within which alone there | seemed to be an assurance of seifish safety and | partisan approval. During ail this period we | have lacked & great constructive administra. | tion. No new social truth has been put for- ward in an effective way. While in all the de- partments of physical life there have been de- velopments and achievements of ease and comiort to the favored of mankind, in the still greater and more important domain of social reform we have stood still or retro- gressed. Itisnot that the people have not felt the stirrings of determination that this inaction has endured, but because of the rule of party which has largely controlled men in and out of office. It has been a source of reproach to any man that he should renounce allegiarce to organization. Men have been expected to submit their views to the dictation of conven- tions, although it is common knowledge that conventions have been swayed to views and declarations not the most approved by the mass of people, nor conducive to their wel- "™¥o @0 mot arrogate to ourselves one iota more of inteiligence, patriptism or courage than is possessed by other of our fellow-citi- zens, but we feel that the time has come for the performance of a duty to the country, and for our part, though we shall stand alone, we | for the in their o the peor earts, as he I through all the wo; le.

Mes- sages were exchanged between the bolters and prominent Republicans, Democrats and Populists, and nearly every free-silver Republican, including most of the bolters, will go from St. Louis to Chicago to at- tend the Democratic convention. Word was received at the Colorado headquarters that arrangements had been made with the railroads to bring over 1000 Colorado Kepublicans and Demoerats to Chicago. Already Henry M. Teller clubs ve | he ter and Senator Mantle, but one of them ventured the opinion that “Senator Brown | is a dead duck in Utah.” | Itwas well understood among the bolt- | ing delegates that while only one dele- | gate from Montana, Congressman Hart- | man, went out on the bolt the entire dele- gation was in perfect sympathy with the movement, including Senator Carter and Mantle. They had differences of opini about the necessity of going out of the hall, some of them taking the position that it would be just as effective for the delegates to remain in their seats silent and without participating in the proce ed- ings as to walk out.

Depew said to a reporter for the United Press to-day: ‘Since the time of Grant McKinley is the first to receive the nomi- nation on a first ballot, and he received three-quarters of the votes.
