When a president stands up before the
people. alone responsible TO them for
what lie does. he must bow to their
clearly expressed and well defined iudp-
ment, but when he is surrounded by
those who make gain and advantage out
Of his administration by controlling
his policy and patronage, and are per-
mitted to approach him early in the
morning and late at night. When thev
govern the people in this way. it is =
dangerous government for any people.
i Applause.l l want q government oil
direct responsibility. Let us know who
are responsible to us. l think whoever
may be elected President next time will
\ feel that he must stand directly before
I the people, and be personally response
ble to them. In the sense in which we
have personal government now, the
I administration of the nations affairs :is
for the benefit of particular individuals
and classes: but, think the next Presi-
dent will feel that he must administer
public affairs for the good of the people,
and that there shall be no other consid-
Grafton possible than the good of the
whole people.
Now. gentlemen you have honored
Inc with this nomination. and as far "a
my health will enable me to do so ] will
try to make your ticket successful in
October. fApplause. Bear in mind
that as Indiana goes in October. so Indi-
ana must go in November. [Renewed
applause. ] believe | know the result
now. ! believe / read it in your faces,
and know 1t from the sympathy of nv
heart with your hearts. Go to the peo-
pie and say 10 them that they must put
in nomination in their districts and
counties the men who can command the
entire support Of all persons who OPP
pose the present party in.power. lap

We have this day substantially turned
onr backs upon the past: we now stand
in the present and we look forward to
the great future. The past is gone. ZAP
plause.I The future is ours. Let the
people lay hold vf the future and achieve
that full measure of prosperity and hap
piness which il is in their power to Sc
cure. Applause ~l
