sent delegations. The building was packed,
although the notice OF the meeting was first

made known the Democratic candidates had

Of official integrity and administrative reform.
lGreat cheering This Is not mere party
triumph in the narrow use Of the word, but
is emphaiically the victory Of honest govern
ment in America, and OF national honor in
the eyes OF the whole world. fChevrsl Its
greatness cannot be measured by
the size ~ our own majority, for that major
iiy is not very large, but it may be measured
by the power We have had 10 overcome, and
the greatness OF The results II has accom-
plished, and is stiu destined 20 accomplish.
Great cheering l am candidly OF the
opinion that if we had failed this
time, the powerful interests elus-
teriug around the ruling party
under the leader they then would have had,
in a few years, perhaps, been strong and
daring enough II not too corrupt 10 defy
public opinion, and perhaps TO resist aud 10
baiile the peaceful expression OF H. repeat
my prediction. that as long as YOU
and I, aud our children and their
children, live no political party in the United

terial interests OF the ltion. On the con
trary, We mean 10 see that no unkind thrust
is made CT the capital. We mean 90 secure,
