Of the people and every part of them, within
the limits and according to the principles of
free government, that tho Democratic party
cares to prou,iso that 1t will do with all its
might Whatever is beyond this, whatever is
incompatible with free government and our
historic liberty, IL dares not promise to any
one.
IL IL not for me, gentlemen, to attempt to
forcshRdow what your choice should be. or
ought to be, in the selection of your candi-
dates. You will make that selection under
the sense of responsibility to tie people you
represent and TO your country.
Whoever may be your chosen leader in this
campaign, 10 telegram will flash across the
sen fru1n tho castle of Absentee tariff lords
TO congratulate him. But from the home of
labor, from the hrceide of tho toilcr, from the
hearts or all who love justice and do equity
who wish and intend that our matchloss heri-
tage Of freedom shall be the commonwealth
OF all our people, und the common opportunity
of all our youth, will come MP prayers for his
success and RECRUITS for the great Democratic
host that must strike down tho beast Of Sec
tiounlisin and the molcch OF monopoly before
we can have over again a peoples government
run by peoples faithful representatives.
