8. Murray and G. G. Wright.
During an interval in tbs convention
work Judge Corn was urged to address
the delegates. He spoke only FIVE min
utes, but reused his hearers to enthusiasm
and besides set them to thinking. Cam
paign issues are SO important hat it is
the duty of every Democrat to let it be
known that he is on the right side. We
once had in this country a government
founded on ideas fathered by the massive
intellect Of the keen, unerring jefferson.
Many can remember that. When it held
sway a man who worked could educate
his children, own a home and rest in his
old age. Who will say that a man can
today earn his bread alone as easily q
then and comforts and advantages enjoyed
at that time arc now out of the question.
True. wealth has increased. but not among
the masses. There is no complaint on
the score of one mans ability to acquire
riches. but that the laws of the country
make it easy for one man to win wealth
at the expense Of many, is a sore griev'
ance. The present deplorable condition
Is the result Of the rule Of the the COP.
Shielded behind the cry Of great moral
ideas that have no existence, it uses the
masses to satisfy the unholy, inhuman am
billions of constituencies men, who Override
and Cypress the Drawn of thisland.5
