about me representatives from all
parts of the land of the great party
which, claiming to he the party OF

the influence of stern reality which
present surroundings Create, that l
have been chIsen t. represeut the
plans, purposes and policy of The
Democl allc party. l an profoundly
impre ssed ny the soleunlty Of the
OCCASION by the responsibility of my
position. Though / gratefully APP
preciate it. / do not al this moment
cOngratu ate myself upon tue distIn-
guished honor which has been confer

full of an ANXIOUS desire to perform
Well the part which bias been assigned
to NE. MOI do I At this moment tor
get that the rights aud interests Of
more than So, OOO, OVO Of my fellow
citizens are involved IN u effort to

GRAFT because | believe this truth lies
ut the foundation of Democracy, /
have kept the faith because I believe
if rightly and faithfully administered
and applied, Democratic doctrines
and measures will insure the happi-
ness, contentment and prosperity Ut
the people. If in the CON ct upon
hold to the un-
DERIVING principles of our
party creed and at all times keep in
view the peoll IS good, We shall BE-
strong because we are true to QUIZ
selves and because the plain and i'll
voters OF the land will
EEK by their suffrage to compass
heir release from party t Nlaun,
where there should be submission t.
he popular will, and their protec-
ion trom party corruption where
here should be devotion to the peu-
interests. II csc thoughts lend
conservation to Oul cause. and We
20 forth, not merely to Obtain a par
isan advantage, but pledged to give
o those who trust us the utmost
benefits and honest administration
# national affairs. No higher pur-
)ose or motive can stimulate US to
his supreme eff ,rt or urhe US to
continuous and earnest labor and
party organization. Let US
lot fail in this and we may confident
y hope to reap the tull reward of
patriotic services we'll performed.
l have thus called to mind some
imply truths and trlte though they

well upon them at this time. I shall
DON, 1 nope, signify in the usual for
