CHICAGO. June 2L-FolIowing is the
speech of Temporary Chairman Owens:
Two great dangers menace the Democratic
party--one is external, the other internal. The
first is the organized machinery of organized
apital, supported by the whole power Of gov
ern ment; the second is tendency among dem
ocratS to make ISSUES among themselves. Two
needs therefore, stand before us indispensable
to success-unity and harmony. o. the one
this chair and gavel stand representative: it
remains for you to supply the
fellow democrats, as the advance guard
of the grand army sent forward to blaze the
pathway to victory. How momentous your
responsibility need Eot tell you If you work
in wisdom the millions tolling in shop and mine
and field will rise and call you blessed. The roll
call of the republic attests that its heart and its
conscience are with us in our war with the rep
resentatyes Of greed.
\ GOOD PLATFORM NEEDED.
The best thought Of our party is a platform
that Challenges appreciation and invites the
support of the people. We can succeed, we
m ust do more; we must deserve success. Above
the wreck, if need be, of selfish combinations
we must rear O temple to the plain people and
build a shrine so broad that every lover of his
kind may bneel. The burden must be lifted
from the back Of toll, and to that end 1t has q
right to demand that whoever bears our ban
ner must lift it above the smoke of conflict and
din of action, that every democrat of the union
may follow its lead in exultant and irresistible
the situation demands the broadcast patriotism
and every needtul sacrifice Our work but be-
gins here. Under the suns of summer and the
frost Of autumn we must carry it forward with
unfaltering courage TO triumphant close.
A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
This again must be a campaign of education.
The study of the corn1ed BEGAN in the west
and south and must be carried into every ham
let of the east and north The people must
learn their true relation to the tax gatherer
They must learn that no railroad presidents
champion the tribunes of the people
No taskmasters write our tariff
bills. They must learn that for
personal and political purposes the country
was menaced by threat of war, and they will
learn with shame and regret that on the day
the warlike message of the Presid snt was read
In the halls OF congress, the peaceful response
OF tle little eight by ten republic of Chile ac-
cepting the Presidents ultimatum was read in
every capital of the world. Our opponents
must be measured by their deeds and not by
their professions.
THE LAST CONGRESS-.
The Fifty-frst congress wrote the blackest
page in our legislative history, and became a
thing Of the past 1t challenged the approval
of the people, and they responded in tones so
portent that it seemed che voice of God With
an unanimity that finds no parallel in the his
tory OF popular government they determined
that a billion dollars was far too much
If VIC but permit it they will stand by
their verdict. That our cause may triumph let us
work in kindness In the heat of contenti ion let
us not forget that our political br theirs may be
just as honest, and perhaps better informed.
lmpelled by one purpose, the public good, we
heartburnings that characterized the Repub-
lcan party when its Marshal Ney went down at
Minneapolis before the mailed legious OF the
bread and butter brigade
