TO THE BRAVES.

some OF Lhe BoOu lhlnBs Whlch were
said at the Tammany big talk Of Demo
cratic braves are too good to pass unno-
ticed; Cleveland wrote
All encroachments OF selfish interests
and the stealthy advance of every cor
rupting influence must be met and ex-
posed II our people are to enjoy the
highest benefits of their established In
stitutions.
II is almost beyond comprehension that
the people can be induced TO believe that
the Standard Oil Company, Jay Gould.
the Sugar Trust Carnegie, and the ag-
gregation Of millionaires in the Republi-
can party can exist for their benefit.
Rich corporations may purchase protec-
tion, but they are sure to be exposed. II
is the mission of the Democratic party,
in the interest Of the people, to expose
them.
Senator Eustis said Of the Democratic
party;
Its record Is unstained by either theft
or the purchase Of the Presidency II
scorns TO obtain power by deceiving and
corrupting the people. Ii does not rely
upon sectional animosities to sustain its
vitality. No party will ever
live to write its epitaph As by the
power Of its irresistible earnestness 1t
destroyed the Federalists. the Wing and
the Know Nothing parties, so it will, nj.
timately, dislodge and destroy the Re-
publican party,
1t is encouraging TO Democrats 10 listen
to the wise, calm, statesmanlike words
Of Senator who was educated in the
pure atmosphere Of reason and patriot
ism A Senator who is net the paid
attorney of a railway or shipyard. Com
pare a speech by Senator Eustis with the
blood-curdling, outrage-painting, state
defaming TRADES Of Senators Chandler
and Higgins. Which will promote race
hatred, which is calm and statesmanlike
which is demagogic, which is worthy oi
an honorable man striving for the best
interests of the country, which Is filled
with hatred Of one particular section
Comparisons are odious-particularly t.
the persons who are hurt by them
Senator Eustis might print his speech 4
be read by all coming generations. Th'
| speeches OF Senators Chandler and Hig
gins are like the special pleas Of pal,
attorneys in criminal court. Think o
reading one hate bristling. gall-bearinI
speech Of Chandler or Of Higgins In Eng
land, or after lapse Of two years.
What a spectacle they make in abusing
villifying and misrepresenting their owi
people to earn the good graces Of a ricl
shipbuilderl
Our own venerable Governor Bigg
electrified the audience into burst o
applause by asserting without turning
hair that America was able to whip tn
world.
In sober truth that is not wild state
ment. The Angle Saxon people hav
never been conquered. There is some
thing in the sentiments, the constitution
and the souls of the people which make
each man hero. and teaches him to be
lieve that his brother is lixe-unto him
self
For the encouragement Of timl,
brethren Governor Biggs said
At the last election we went under
Laughter But what does that mean
It means this--that the Democrati
party, as a party, never changes Il
name nor takes down It's colors. TAp
plause When four years more rol
around and the Republican administrs
tion is at an end and we will pull dow
the Republican party beyond hope Of
general resurrection. [Applause.
The Democratic party represents
principle principles never die. The r,
publican party represents pelf-pelf d,
stroys itself
