I do pot aSSnmp here IN sneak for labor,
The child Of q man who always earned his
daily bread by his daily labor, brought up
for more than quarter OF century. from
boyhood to manhood, among the laborcrs
that have made the great Northwest what
IL is, do not assume TO speak FOR labor.
Labor il not represented in political con-
ventions by the soft hand OF the political
trickster. no matter where you find him.
Loud applause.l The men who follow
conventions and talk about the rights OF
labor are the Swiss contingent, who place
their tent wherever the prospect OF profit Is
greatest, loud applause and cries OF
"Bully for you!"] while honest, intelligent,
horny-handed labor will be found fol-
lowing the old Democratic flag, thanking
God that its seli-styled leaders have gone
where they belong. Men come here to
talk OF labor. Yes, their labor has been
upon the crank OF the machine Immense
applause and laughter], and their study
has been political chicane in the midnight
concaye. We are told that the Demo-
cratic party is suffering from fearful po-
ltical disorders by these men. IL we are

orders in the quarters where they are al
legged to exist can only be cured by re-
application OF Federal soap. [Laughter.l
have heard it said that the States OF the
Northwest ought to have no voice In this
nomination. have heard 1t said, "What
boots II what their opinion may be?'
What was 1t that placed the great States OF
the Northwest in the great Republican col
umn! 1t was because they followed
blindly, implicitly, the old leaders, and
they led tho party Of the Union to de-
feat, and they placed our States down
under thousands aud tens OF thousands
OF Republican maIoritles. We have fought
our way steadily upward. Wesee through
the water which has beep so deep above

steadily and go down to death, shouting
gloriously as they fall, under the lead OF

result. they fear. They will rally around
that glorious old Senator from Ohio. Zap

they want some new life; they have fol-

Pardon me for saying there was time
when the 2:40 steed stood first upon the
list, but in these DAYS something that has
made $40 ought to be retired as stale, for
il is Of no account against 2:l0l. Jap
plause.l Let our old war-horset be retired
with honor. Let the records OF their
achievements be recorded and pointed At

manhood and position since the war, that

These recruits are at our bidding; young,
middle-aged, and old, you see them

brigades and divisions. Applause and
calls OF ''Order" from the Chair.l Every
one OF them bears upon its banner, frst.

countersign OF the great Democratic camp
in November be Cleveland" and then
men can make their way to it (appause],
and, recruited as we shall be, our ides OF
November will net be Waterloo, but will
be glorious sun OF Austerlltz! And Wis
consin, my own adopted Slate, i say to
You, gives every reason to believe th1t she
will lind herself once more in the Demo-
cratic column, and her eleven electoral
votes will be cast for the nominee OF this
Convention. For that reason, on behalf OF
the majority representing that State, L Sc
cond that nomination. [Applause.]
