rity and judgment and iron will, but they love
him most for the enemies he has made. Loud

This broad nation witnessed the disgraceful spec

! to stand on this platform TO teach
you, gentlemen, Democracy, and whom
you ought to nominate. Loud applause.
Go TO the senate of the state of New York since

To those who desire tofatten on them. Loud, long
and continued applause. do not assume here
TO speak for labor. The child of q man who al
ways earned his daily bread by his daily labor,
brought up for more than quarter OF u century
from boyhood TO manhood among laborers that
have made the great northwest what il is, l do
not assume TO speak for labor. Labor is not rep
resented in political convention by the soft
hand of the political trickster, matter where
you find him. Loud applause

OF the Union To defeat, and they placed our
states down under thousand and thousands Of
