buid up onepojie While It has not ruined the country
It has not benefited It, has 1t raised the wages OF
single man. The country Is suffering from hard times ana
from over-taxation. The Democrats believe mat the
place for surplus is in the pockets OF me
people and not In the Sub-Treasury, and that
question will be thoroughly discussed in this campaign by
Democratic everywhere. Republican orators eanno'

carried out and fulfilled ell the pledges we mede
to the people Six years ago the constitution
required enumeration OF the people should be made
but requirement still remains unfulnled, and so long
it does the obligation to obey it remains Last winter
Democratic Assembly passed bill providing for such
enumeration, but the Republican Senate refused 70
consider it. Democratic Assembly passed an act but
the Republican Senate refused Here and now
call upon Republican Senator's Of whom the candidate

10 do justice 10 the people.
How the Democratic party stand before the people
other quesons2 We in favor of Just, equitable
law. Our position is well understood
that question. We opposed to the illiberal and
vexatous highlicense policy proclaimed by the Re
publicons We believe that all drawn from tine
people, in excise fees should
belong people Of the localities where they paid
should be paid the Treasury Of the State to
be distributed counties where excise fees
ere collected. 1 charge that reference this liquor
question the Republican platform is deluslon and
Republicans not sincere. They
have declared local option. Several years their
state Convention made similar declaration, but th3
Republican Legislatures have always failed pass bill
i'm conformity to that declaration. 1 believe the Demo-
cratic party with people this question: and on
every question discussed previous campaigns the Demo-
Gratis occupied the right position.
We believe home rule for cities. need not tell
an intelligent audience like this where the responsibility
should be placed because NewYork did not get the
Worlds Fair.
that shall be succeeded in the office OF Gov

in favor OF Democratic principles, and shown himself
