ever bears our banner must lift it above
the smoke Of conflict and the din Of fac
ton that every Democrat Of the union
may follow its lead in exultant and ire
sistible combat. Let US not mistake.
The gravity OF the situation demands
the broadest patriotism and every need
full sacrifice. Our work but begins here.
Under the suns OF summer and the
frosts OF autumn we must carry it for
ward with unfaltering courage to tri-
umphant close.
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION. 80
This again must be a campaign Of
education. Tho study OF the corn field
begun in the west and south; and must
be carried into every hamlet Of tho east
and north. The people must learn
their true relation to the tax gatherer.
They must learn that no railroad presi-
dent champions tho tribunes Of the poo
Pile: no task masters write our tariff
bills. They must learn, too, that for
personal and political advantage their
country was menaced by the threat OF
war, and they will learn the shame and
regret that on tho day the warliko mes
sage OF the President was. read in the
hall OF Congress, the peaceful response
OF the little Sxl0 republic OF Chile 40
cepHng the terms OF the presidential!
ultimRtum was read in every capital OF
the world. Our opponents must be
measured by their deeds md not by
their professions.
The Fifty-frst Congress was the
biackest page OF our legislative history
and became thing OF the past 1t
challenged the approval OF tho people
and thCy responded in tones SO porten-
tious that 1t seemed the voice OF God.
With a unanimity that finds no parallel
in the history OF popular government
they determined that billion dollars
was far too much to pay for such q
museum OF freaks. If We persist they
will stand by their verdict. That our
cause may triumph let us work in kind
ness. In the heat OF tho confusion let
us not forget our political brothers may
be just as honest and perhaps better
informed.
Impelled by one purpose, tho public
good, We will free ourselves from tho
chickering's and the heartburnings that
characterized the Republican party
when its Marshal Ney went down at
Minneapolis before the mailed legions
Of the bread and butter brigade"
Mr.. Owens speech was received with
marked approval by the delegates and
with occasional outbursts OF applause
from tho galleries, especially the re-
mark relating to the defeat Of Mr.
Blaine at Minneapolis The temporary
chairman having concluded his re-
marks called upon the convention for
Its further pleasure.
