GUS applause. After thanking the conven.
tion Mr. Pattison said: ITO be the free
choice Of an untrammeled convention such
as this is no light distinction. / esteem
your action therefore at its highest worth
when treat II as registering the expressed
/ will OF the Democratic masses whom you
represent rather than the irksome and
despotic behest Of an arrogant master
Thus viewed / repeat with all sincerity
my grateful appreciation Of your act in as
signing me TO the post of leadership in the
contest you now inaugurate on behalf Of
the people Of the commonwealth to rescue
their government and politics from un-
worthy and selfish dictation.
"The Democratic party but assumes its
natural and historic position when il

peculiar guardian Of the interests Of the
whole people.
Let Us Now Highly Resolve"

hands their rights, their interests, their
causes will suffer no detriment
Inspired by a mission so noble, con

lay aside all personal rivalries and ambi-

effort 60 the achievement of success. For a
time engaged in manly competition for the
honors Of the party, the determining voice
of the convention recalled us TO our duties
as Democrats and as patriots
The Republican Party Arraigned.
"A prominent Republican official on the
threshold Of Office once gave expression to
che wise sentiment; He serves his party
best who serves his country best Recog-
nizing the truth by whomsoever uttered,
we arraign the present management OF the
Republican party for it's faithlessness to
this principle, and for its inability as at
