Owans' Sneech.

1.-TWO great dangers confront the Demo
cratic party. One is external and the other
internal. The one is the organization of
the machinery of organized capital, sup
ported by the whole power of the govern
ment. The second is the tendency among
the Democrats to make issues among them
selves.
1.-TWO needs, therefore, stand before US,
indispensable to successfully and har-
mony. If this chair and gavel stand as
representatives of one, it remains for you
TO supply the other. In this spirit l greet
you, fellow Democrats, as the
ADVANCE GUARD OF GRAND ARMY
sent forward to blaze the pathway to vic
tory.
FLOW momentous is your responsibility,
l need not tell you. If you work in wis
dom, millions toiling in the shop aud
mine a70 field viii rise and call 'you
blessed.
1.-THE roll call of the republic attests that
it's heart and conscience are with US in our
war with the representatives. of greed.
The best thought in our party is the plat
FORM that challenges appreciation and in
vites the support of the people. We can
succeed; but we must do more, we must
deserve success. Above the wreck, if need
bs, of selfish combinations, we must rear a
temple 30 plain Aople and build shrine
SO broad that every lover Of his kind may
kneel. The
BURDEN MUST BE LIFTED FROM THE BACK OF
TOLL,
and TO that end it has right to demand
that whoever bears our banner must lift it
above the smoke Of conflict and the din OF
faction that every Democrat Of the Union
may follow its lead in the exultant and jr-
resistible combat. Let us not mistake the
gravity OF the situation. II demands the
broadcast patriotism and every needful
sacrifice.
"Our work but begins here; under the
sun of summer and in the frosts of autumn
we must carry it forward with unfaltering
courage and triumphant close"
The speaker proceeded to characterize
the coming campaign as one OF education,
TO teach people everywhere their true re-
lation to the tax gatherer. They must learn
that no railroad president can champion the
tribunes Of the people and no task masters
write our tariff bill. They must learn that
for personal and political advanta ges their
country has been menaced by threat Of
war, and will learn with shame and regret
that on the day the warlike message of
their President was read in Congress the
peaceful response of the little eight by-ten
republ Chile accepting the terms of the
Presidential nltimatum was read in every
capital of the world.
The speaker proceeded to denounce the
billion dollar congress and closed as fol-
lows: "ImpeIled by the one purpose of the
public good. we will free ourselves from
the chickering's and heart-burns that char
acterized the Repub lean parry when its
Marshal Ney went down at Minneapolis
before mailed legiens Of the bread-and-
butter brigade"
AT the close of Owens speech, on motion
of Delegate White of California, the roll
was called for the constitution of the com
mittee on credentials, rules, order of bust
ness, permanent organization and resou-
lions. All resolutions aud communications
were ordered referred TO the committee on
resolutions.
Delegate Holdman OF Oregon here an
nouaced be lad just received a telegram
from Portland, Ore, that that city had

plause, and the resolution adopted unani-
moasly.
Sweat, Of Maine. thanked the coDven-
ton for the sympathy to the distinguished
resident of that state. God forbid, ? he
