WAYS be remembered with sincere grail
tude and pleasure. Ny nomination Il
this high office came In q J~effersonlsr
spirit Of true Democracy. 1t came IN,
sought, unthought Of and as q grea,
surprise. 1t was truly the Office seek
ing the man, and not the man the Off
ce. The nomination was rendered un'
animously by u convention made up Of
the representative men Of our party as
sembled together in peace, order and
q~uietness to perform the duties intrust'
cd to their care by the Democracy oil
u district. The nomination was OK.

accept it in the same loyal manner In
which 1t was rendered. When the In.
formation was wired to me that l had
been so highly honored at your hands, ]

ceptjng the same; but, they were I'm.
mediately brushed aside when / recall.

paid; res. paved beyond my just deserts
for my sincere endeayors to be a good
follower in our great party's ranks. II
the old adage holds true, "that q good
follower makes a good leader,n let us
hone that success shall attend our best
efforts in this campaign.
think / fully appreciate the impor-
tance of this campaign. am sure |
feel deeply interested in its results, not
from A personal aud selfish stand point,
bul for the benefit Of the people and Of
onr marty. The causs we espouse Is
right. and for the best interest Of our
common country and her citizenship.
We believe in tariff reform, in civil
service reform. in an honest ballot and
a fair count. We believe that public
Office is a public trust, and that the
Office holder is the servant aud not the
of the people. We believe that
LEGISLATION in the interest OF the masses,
and not for the classes, is In the proper
shirt Of true Democracy. We believe
that the farmers Of our land and the
laborinp classes of our country are enti-
tied to the benefits that result from leg
islation as well as the favored manu-
~facturers and the commercial interests
of our nation.
W. are in favor Of honest money.
we are opposed to the leading high tar
If features of The Mckinley law, and
in favor Of u thorough and genuine re-
form Of The tariff laws Of the country.
