THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WANTS ANOTHER PAR
DON.
The Democratic party, upon its plea of guilty
asks not only n stay OF execution and tree par
don but that it shall be retained in power and
placed upon promises OF future good behavior.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MAKES MORE PROMISES.
At Stockton its purest and best made what
they called a platform and the Convention
solcmnly decla-ed that the principles enunci-
ated there were the principles OF the Democratic
party; that no man could be considered Dem
Ocrat who did not approve OF these principles.
To give force to these declarations, and as Il
testimonial of sincerity, they +, ad ont OF the
party every man who withheld his approval.
They modcstly declared themselves 10 be the
original and only Cheap Jacobs of the Demo-
cratic party.
DEMOCRATIC MARTYRS.
They seized Attorney General Marshall and
Humphreys and Carpenter and fifteen Demo-
cratic Senators and spilled their blood upon the
altar in atonement for the sins of the party.
After all this, we might think that the ark of
the Democratic party had found resting place;
that its frail fabric was no longer the sport OF
the tempest and the wave. But not so.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS RELAPSE.
The living principles of the Democracy enun-
ciated at Stockton i'll the year 1884, about the
buried before the sun hat scarce turned upon
its course to the autumnal equinox.
THE CHICAGO CONVENTION REGULATES TIE
STOCKTON PLATFORM
The chosen leaders of that party carried this
platform to Chicago and there presented it to
;
token OF their appreciation of this city, they
selected that battle-scarred veteran, General
Clunie, to present IL 10 the National Committee
on Resolutions for approval. Bethis as 1t may,
the gallant General offered one by one the
Stockton resolutions, but in all the assembly
there was none 50 poor as to do reverence To the
work, or to recognize II single resolution of the
Stockton Convention us having any relation to
modern Democracy. In the language OF the
General himself, the committee and Convention
sat down upon The stockton resolutiOns-an APP
propriate ending. Nor did the National Con
ventl0n stop at this. IL adopted platform
which brought joy TO the hearts of the prophets
who were stoned ut Stockton,
AND NoMINATEs TWO RAILROAD MEN.
More wonderful still, ii nominated candidate
for the Presidency who had he been Governor
OF California Us he is of New York, would have
been impeached at the extra session and read
out of the party at stockton. 1t nominated for
President the firm friend of the Elevated Rail
road OF New York city, one of the most powerful
corporations. One who upon every question
was in accord with the outlaWed wing of the
California party. 1t nominated for Nice-Presi-
dent one whose later years have been devoted
to the services OF the great railway corporations
of the West; one who bears to the great Wabash
railway system, and to the Cincinnati, Indian
apoliS St Louis and Chicago Railway Company
the same relations which the distinguished
Judge Sanderson bears to the Central Pacific.
Whit would have been said by these Democrats
if the Republican Convention had as il might
well and honOrably have done nominated
Judge Sanderson for Vice President? | an not
here 10 say that the fact that Mr. Cleveland has
been the friend of the railway corporations of
New York. and that Mr.. Hendricks is the
trusted counselor of railway corporations in
the West, units either for any position i'll the
land. ! only instance these facts to show the
inSincerity and dishonesty of the Democratic
professions
TWELVE DELEGATES TO CHICAGO VOTE AGAINST
THE PLATFORM.
Twelve Of the delegates out of sixteen to the
Democratic National Convention of this State
voted against the platform of the party. and in
favor of the Butler substitute If they were
honest ut stockton, and if they were honest in
that vote they nave to-day no place III the ranks
of That party which supports Mr.. Cleveland for
President of the United States
TILE STOCKTON WING OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
EATS CROW AND LIKES IT.
The Democratic house is brightly Illuminated
tonight. Let me Tor Il moment draw aside the
curtain and give you Glimple of its stately re-
ceptiOn rooms. We see under the bright lights
upon grOaulng tables, the bOunteouS viands In
the post OF honor sits the gray-haired veteran
Jesse D. Carr, the bosom friend Of Field and of
Cleveland; opposite him Frank G. Newlaqds
the Bayard OF the party. Around are gathered
cX-Goyc'nor Johnson, John T. Irish Kellogg
Cross, and kindred spirits The magnificent
Senator from San Francisco, the chief OF the
Bull Head Club the jovial Tim Mccarthy, is
Grand Master of Ceremonies. Nipdication and
triumph upon the face of each as the toasts 20
round. No leader of the Stockton Convention
sits at the table or participates in the festivities
Clothed in a few coarse sacks, borrowed from
Blum, tiirvin u Co, with ashes upon their heads,
modification depicted upon their countenanccs,
these leaders are gathered i'll the back kitchen
there they bolt the crow which Tim Mccarthy
has furnished them and pronounce it good
CONTRAST BETWEEN THE TWO DELEGATIONS TO
CHICAGO.
That Il contrast, my countrvmen. between the
two delegations which represented California at
Chicago. Never before in the history OF any
country did an outlying state receive the rec
ognltion which was accorded to you through
the Republican delegation. The grand Ameri-
can statesman ut the head of your ticket for
three times in succession has been the choice Of
this state. Your delegation bore his banner
and led his columns in the fight Were he Il
son Of this State as he is an ADOPTED son of the
iaT-oh Pine Tree stale, your hearts could not 90
out towards him with more devotion His elec-
tlon now an assured fact, will give TO this State
IN the councils of the nations an influence
