Show REPUBLICANS FOR GOLD. The lnsi Issue of the Morour Iflucr saysi Thu persistence with which thn Republican Re-publican press aud speakers of tho Statu reiterate thn assertion that the Republican party will ovunt unity re store silver Indicates that ihuv think tho voltrs are fools or that if a lie Is repealed often unough it will be eventually event-ually believed. As a matter of fact the Republican party I more tnumly wedded wed-ded than ever to Iho single gold standard stand-ard AH the Statu platforms adopted M far this year declare uneqiilvocaHy for gold. While It Is Iruo that a few Slato Democralio oonventlons have Ignored silver tho great majorltv of tlioui have lealllnn.'d tlu-lr ulleglauco to tno Chicago p.atrorm and endorsed Hryan. Wo may add that Eldredgc. I'eptib-llcan I'eptib-llcan candidate for Congress, admits that ho voted in 1800 for MclCinlb.V,and has tho effrontery to say that he s proud of It. He also says ho stands upon and commends thu Si. Louis platform, nod yet at the same time sayu he endorses thu Utah Republican platform which declares for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at (hp ratio of 10 to 1. What Is he. a knave or a fool? Whllo blackbirds are an aunuioly, so is Eldredgo. On. tho other hand our candidate for Congress stands squarely upon the hlmclalle platform adopted In Chicago In 1SUU. Without equivocation he Is proud of having voted for Hryan and sllvor In 1800. In contradistinction to Etdrodge, ho has no contradictious in his ideas and platform, No hope for silver exists In tho Republican party, and those papers which attempt to mnku thu opposite op-posite appear en, n not but bo regarded as subsidized supporters of Ilannuajid Wall street. Hryan is Mm personal oxcmpllllcuUnu of practical himclullsm and tho only way In which thu vole ft-can ft-can endorse him and Iho principles of the only truu hluiuiaMo pariy. Is to support sup-port thu Democratic, McktU in lt entirety. en-tirety. Tho Dainoeratlo party of the Nation is for bimetal ism, the Ropubli can parly of tho N1"'"", I for gold only. Tho only way in which you can suppoit the blmelnllo causu is to support sup-port thu candidates on thu Democratic ticket. Any oilier coursu is necessarily necessar-ily opposed lo that principle. |
