But, gentlemen, / must not keep you
from the work that is before you. In SO
large convention as this, larger in num-

party, and representing a larger constitu-
ency, it would be strangs II there were
not some differences of opinion of matters
OF policy and some differences Of judg-
nient or of patience as to the justice Of
the candidates.
1t is not Tor me, gentlemen, the impair
ttal servant of you all to att ampt to fore
shadow what your loice shall be or ought
20 be in the selection OF our candidates.
You will make that selection under deep
sense of responsibility to the people you
represent and to your country. One
thing only ! venture to say. Whoever
| may be your chosen leader In this cam
paign, no one will flash across the sea
from the castle of absentee tariff lords a
message to congratulate him, but from
the home OF labor, the fireside of the
toiler, will come up prayers for his sue
cess and recruits for the great Democratic
hosts that shall strike down the beast of
sectionalism and the moloch OF monopoly,
apd restore once again to our happy land
government for the people, by the people
and for the people"
