decision of the Court as "a misrepresentation of the Constitution and an invasion of the rightful powers of Congress over the subject of taxation." The Republicans made no allusion to the decision in their platform, and the election of their candidates was interpreted by the party as a popular ratification of the Court's decision in the late income tax cases.2 1 People's Party platform, St. Louis, July 24, 1894. 2 The popular vote for William McKinley and Garrett H. Hobart, the Republican nominees, was 7,110,607; for William J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall, the Democratic and Populist candidates, 6,509,052. INDEX. REFERENCES ARE TO VOLUME AND PAGE.
