Air. Elias Carr, in his speech
at C'intof , says: ''otandin; on
the Ocala and the Chicago plat
forms, I am for the unprotected

None but the omnipotent and
omnipresent could stand on two
things so different and so far a
part as ihe Ocala and tlie Chi
cago platforms. A man who
could do that, could stand with
one foot in the Atlantic and the
other in the Pacific ocean and
reach high enough to feed green

No, Mr. CaT.rvj?'icun't stand on
both, jou can't serve two ma3
ters. The Fayetteville Cbserver
says no Democrat can endorse
the Ocala platform, and if you
like Cleveland for the test of
Democracy that is so; but if
you take Jefferson and Jack-on
as the test then no Democrat
can endorse the Chicago plat
form. The Democracy of Jack
son and Jefferson is the Democ
racy of the People's party of
to-day.
