I Those who are disposed TO criticiSe tbs Demo-

/ should recollect that we have not had full

D Not since 1850 have we had full possession OF
I Representatives part OF the time. We have
/ had control of the Senate for little while. We
I had the President for four years, but
ME-, we have not had 10, for the the pas, past
| of the government at the same time. We have
not been In full possession OF the lawmaking
powers OF the land, aud therefore we have not
been able TO place on the statute book the
beneftcient schemes which the Democratic
party has proposed in the interest Of the
people. APPLAUSE And now confronted as
we are with this great arrogant, insolent Re
publican party clamoring for more power and
more plunder the question arises. shall demo
Gratis. snail alliancemen. shall those who CO.
operate with the interests Of labor. shall we
divide when we agree upon the most essential
principles Of ths government in the face Of the
great danger that confronts U.S. tApplauss
A majority of the people believe in democratic
principles, majority of 9 country dislike
plutocracy They believe in simple, frugal
| administration OF public affairs. They desire
reform IN our national administration. They
desire relief from unjust burdens. They desire
relief in relation TO our currency. They
are, convinced that the Rep blican party
is not legisiating in the interests
Of the people but in the interest of monopoly.
and they desire a change. Applause There
are enough people in the country to make this
change and with unity we can triumph, by
division We shall fail. lApplause.l l need not
tell you what the politics of that congress
known as the billio l-dollar congress need not
tell you what was the politics of what is known
as the Sherman silver bill. You know that it
was republican co 1gress that passed the Nc

dstain you With a reference 10 the vile work
that was accom- lshed by the last congress.
The peoples right to choose their own represent
atives was tramplsd upon and denied Honest
representatives elected by the people, elected
by maJorlties ranging from 20 to 1900 were
turned out and their places given to republican
representatives in the House of Representatives.
They said that the majority of man who had
30 was too small' and they. said that the
majority of the democrat who had $4,000 was
too large, and so they turned them both out
Laughter and applausel
GEAR REEDS RULE
I am not here at this time TO criticize,
especially the action of the speaker of the last
congress. AS a democrat. one as have said
just now, has taken his place am not here
either to suggest that in particular rulings he
was arbitrary or that they were illegal. The
point that make is that for several months the
republican congress conducted its affairs with.
out any rules whatever. That a crime.
That was the outrage. That was q particular
thing which outraged the people. The idea OF
conducting congress for several months with
out any special set Of rules, but with merely
what is called ordinary principles of parlia-
mentary law was unprecedented. Il Is no won
der then. my friends, that the people were
aroused Il is no wonder that the people anne
forth in their might and turned this party from
power in the lower house OF congress; but that
verd ct cannot be efectual until It snail be sue
ceeded by another The man who approved
the Mckinley bill. the man who would have
approved the force bill, the man who approved
the so-called Sherman silver act, the man who
approved all legislation which took away from
the people a thousand million of dollars
is still in the white house and he or
some other republican representing his party
IL TO be before the people at the coming cleo
ton, and 1t remains for us TO complete this vic
tory BY finally so conducting our election that
we may have democratic United States Sen
ate and President. Great applause
NEED OF ORGANIZATION.
admire the democracy of this section of the
country because you believe in the regular
organization OF the party Applause / be-
lieve that the bast way TO achieve SUCCESS is TO
believe in t. Renewed applause believe,
however that the party may be right upon
every public question and yet it may be beaten
because Of lack of organization. | know that
the Democratic party is bright upon the public
never more right on these public questions than
1t is now, but everywhere there is need for
thorough organization believe you have 1t
here IN the state of Georgia. We need it in the
north and west. mead ID aVerVwheFA / ba-
lieve also that tho time Is ripe for a bold Wig
orous and aggressive democracy Applause I
believe in practical politics in so far it leads
| 70 present IN proper form our principles
boldly before the people and to abide
| by the results Applause | believe that
there Is no use in wasing warfare
| half heartedly against the common
| foe. repudinte the doctrine in its bad sense
| that ITO the victor belongs the spoils,' but
| believe that the honors Of public position after
| the battle shall have bsen won belong to the
| men who won the fight and who are capable of

ours capable, intelligent, efficient democrats to
| fill all the places in this government
| [Applause.] You must not understand from
that that l desire in any way to prevent
full execution of any of the proper civil service
| of the country. 1t does not follow that every
Office In the government should DO given to your

cises of proper civil service reform but in those
1 positions where the eppontee can largely inflrl-
| ence public opinion, whether the Office be local.
| state or national, in my judgment it is the duty

| WANTS OF THE FARMER.
The farmer needs wider markets. he wants
| freer commerce. The farmer wants the re
strictive legislation that now prevents his crops
| being sold In other countries removed
| His interest lies in wider markets. He is op-
| posed to what is known as the reciprocity hum
| bug. Laughter and applause. Reciprocity
| cannot be one sided. If you want to trade
| with other people you must have them trade
| with you. do not propose at this time to dis
cuss the details of the Mckinley bill We are
| opposed to subsidies. We are opposed &c
bounties. We believe they are unjust to the
| citizens OF our country. lApplause.l My
| friends, bring you tonight the good wishes OF
the democracy of the good old state of New York

democratic party will soon be enga ged in the an
preaching campaign. l appreciate all thai
has been said complimentary 10 myself
here this even ng am here merely to say to
you that it does not make so much difference
who the candidate of the party may be, but a
vital, essential thing is to secure & democratic
victory in November next. Applause and 9
