his great character without peer. Jefferson
was the great priest and prophet of DemocracJ
and deserves the gratitude and homage OF al
mankind. for he was the author OF the doctrine
equal rights to all with special privileges to
, none. Whilst Jefferson was the philosopher,
Jackson was the iron Executive. who knew
how to win battles and how to rule. His I'M
faitering trust was in the people. His idea oil
Civil Service Reform was to reform his
enemies that were in by putting them out, and
to reform his friends that were out by putting
: them in.
> His friend Captain Ope said he loved goo d
hater an a good lover. He (panieD loved q
good lover but he hated no person; but he
hated the principles fof the Republican party
with a hatred that he had not the language to
express. You can't run Democratic admin
stration with Republicans, nor Republican
administration with Democrats. Put your
friends in and your enemies out.
The Republicans were striving to pass the
Force Bill, and the Democrats laboring 20 IRE
vent them. What was the Force Bill? 1t was
an enormity that would have revolutionized
the Republic. In the United States there are
$4,000 precincts. which would have been seized
by the Federal Government. Federal Judges
would appoint the Supervisors. Deputy Mar
shals to visit every house. The marshal to ap-
point as many deputy marshals as he saw fit
| at S. per day, who would buy up every corrupt
scoundre! to vote their ticket. There was to
be judicial commission appointed by the
President, and If the President should be bad
man, 1T would be a dead open.and-shut game
On the people. All the official agencies would
be in the hand at Washington. They would
surround the precincts and buy up all the cor
rupt voters. To add to its iniquity 1t was not
| uniform. 1t was to be applied on the petition
| ola number Of voters. In the North the petit
tioners could not be obtained. and 1t would
not be put in'force there; bat in the South they
could get enough negroes to sign the spplica-
ton, and thereby crush out and destroy the
| liberties Of the Southern people. They first at
| tempted to destroy free speech and counted
out Democrats in the House. and there the Vir-
ginia Representatives. Tucker and O'Ferrall
did their duty nobly and well In their able and
energetic resistance to this outrage They then
admitted four new States from the West to in
crease their majority in the Senate. John I.
Davenport of N. Y. was the author of the Force
Bill. and Hoar OF Mass, was its champion. He
(DanieD was asked how long he would stay
there to defeat it when he repliedthat he would
stay till hell froze over. It could only be pre-
vented by filling up the long and indefinite
| time by the Democrats speaking against 1t. He
| was asked how long he could speak, when he
said he could occupy three weeks in his intro
ductory. and speak two months longer.
Thanks are due to The Senators from the great
west who thought more of their country than
their party. The men who were in favor of
| free silver were in favor of free speech. The
Republican Senators Kellogg. Walcott. Stan
ford and Washburn. were in favor of free
speech, free money and free elections.
Great credit is due to Senator German of Nd.
who was our leader in the great contest. He is
a man that 1t viii do to tie to. He is man of
business andhe knows how to use his weapons
He is a man who never loses his head, and he
carries good one. He has risen from the hum
BILE position of page to the exal ted position of
United States Senator, and he will not stop till
he gets into the White House. He (DanieD be-
lieves that 1t should be in politics as in war,
where men, for distinguished service, are
promoted on the battlefield. He does not wish
to be understood as declaring for any man for
President, for the party is greater than any
| man. but merely to mention the debt we owe
10 Senator German for what he has done.
He then referred to the platform adopted by
the convention of the Farmers Alliance at
Lynchburg. and said he did not think that
many of the farmers contemplated forming a
third party. The history of parties in this
country shows that third parties come and go.
but the Democratic party ever remains.
Look at the action of the third party in Ohio
The first thing they resolve is that the soldiers
who have been paid in Greenbacks should be
paid in gold. Beware of third parties.
The platform of the Lynchburg Alliance
Convention is the most scathing rebuke of the
