scHURz's SPEECH.
When quiet was again restored Carl
Schurz was introduced. In the course OF
his speech, he said
So long as the democracy means preservation
or popular self government In its whole sphere;
maintenance OF sound constitutional doctrines;
honesty and wise economy in administration;
war upon corrupting agencies In our political
life; war upon selfish monopoly and favoritism
by law; taxation not for the advantage Of the
few at the expense of the many but Just to
all and tor the benefit of all; cur
rency system that will cheat nobody and keep
us in harmony with the money of the worlds
commerce; public service not the spoil ofa
party, but honestly organized upon the priuci-
pie that public office is public trust-so long
as democracy means in this sense o government
OF the people, for the people and by the peo-
pie, 80 long will those who recently came from
outside of the Democratic party to vote for Mr..
Cleveland faithfully continue 10 march in fits
ranks. The Democratic party OF our day will
not only become stronger than It was before,
but will become intellectually, morally and
numerically one Of the most powerful national
parties known in our history.
When Gen. Schurz finished speaking there
was repetition of the handkerchief wav-
ing and enthusiasm.
Senator Mills then spoke to the sentiment:
"Our victory and the responsibility it
imposes" Senator Mills said In the course
OF his remarks:
Mr.. Carnegie teleRraphed from Europe his
congratulations to President Harrison when he
was renominated, saying the American people
knew good thing when they saw it. lap
plause1
He told the trnth, but only half the truth. II
he had said the American people knew a bad
| thing when they saw IL as well as a good thing,
he would have told the whole truth. The Amer
lean people have tried both Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Harrison, and have said to the one 60" to
| the other Come"
THE DAY OF DELIvERANcx.
Continuing, Mr. Mills said:
The children of Israel when 10 Egypt, we're
carried into captivity by the armies OF Pharaoh,
sat down by the rivers of Babylon and hung
their tuneless harps on the willows and looked
view the temple of Cibres that had made the
holy city the wonder and admiration of the
world. But doubt IL they looked with greater
| anxiety; 1 doubt IL they looked with more
robust faith for the coming OF the day
| OF their deliyerance than the members
Of the Reform Club looked for that day
| and which the glorious eighth day Of
November brouRht-the day Of regen-
Grafton and new life to the republic.
Nor was it a dull day. The skies were not over
cast with clouds and storms, but it hung like a
| glorious sunburst. Illuminating the whole world
like that which enveloped the infant world
when God saidi Let there be light, and there
| was light" But who expected that deliveranee
| to come as IL didf And even among you whose
| faith was SO firm as TO expect II
would come in such an abundance
and .come so soon? Five years is but
q dot on the dial OF time, but five years ago we
were called to the field by the trumpet blast OF
| the illustrious chief who came 70 be the leader
Of his people and conduct them out of oaptiv-
| fly. Applause.
| That came with the same message thsE Mosss
came to tell the vast masses OF Egypt: Let
my people CO." Five years ago he was stand
Ing before the eye OF public opinion, Eve years
| ago he was calling the contest for liberation
OF continent. Then IL was that we
| saw the traitors going about sthe streets
shaking their heads omfnously and mounting
| the ritual which they had learned In the camp
| OF the enemy The contest Is over. the enemy
| is routed. the field is swept and VICTORY is won
| To night the gods have lighted their lamps anC
| are looking down on camp regaiped through
the dominion Of reason and right.
