then 60 TO work and make an entirely
new ticket. am glad belong TO 3
party that maintains Its principles over
night. Think of II, fellow citizens,
what We have 10 meet. Down IN the
fourth district no democrat can vote
for Grover Cleveland. They nominated
democrat for elector, but IN the quiet
OF the night the leaders withdrew him
and substituted Hutchins, q populist.
No man can vote Tor Grover Cleve-
land. He must necessarily vote for
General Weaver. The question is
often asked why is the democratic
party always wrong and why is the re-
publican party always right l Will
give you the reason why the demo
cratic party Is always bad. In 1910
there were two boats landed in this
country. One of them landed nj Ply
mouth Rock loaded down with men
and women who came here as free per-
sons. The other landed at Virginia
loaded with slaves. Those at Ply
mouth Rock founded free schools and
churches and there republicanIsm has
fiourlsned. At Virginia they were en-
gagged raising cain, cotton and HI.
There democracy fourishsd and the
principles OF states rights. slavery and
tree trade flour.shed. States rights,
slavery and free trade have always
been wrong IN this country, conse-
quently the democratic party has al
ways been wrong. There has never
been q time when the democrats did
not favor measure after ii mad been
established. They have always sald
we could not do anything We pro-
posed. They said the war was
mt o.f.s q. hot
epecia- payments; that We could not
manufacture TIN plate. Nevertheless
these things have been accomplished.
In 1884 the American people forgetting
the history of the democratic party,
placed II In power. A democrat can
promise more and do less than any
other man on earth. The people saw
tneir mistake and at the next election
turned Grover Cleveland out and put
Benjamin Harrison in. Mr.. Harrison
has sat there in the white house during
our foreign complications and the
people felt that they were safe. The
