The Senate OF the United States has been against
/ the Democratic party. but for the admisson OF
I new states, that stronghold Of republicansm
| would to-day have been captured by democratic
| hosts, but nevertheless. the facts exist that
| body so essential TO the lawmaking power has
! been IN the bands Of our opponents, and our
| victory cannot be complete until We have joined
| 70 the House OF Representatives the demo-
/ cratic Senate and democratic executive.
/ Then We can execute the peoples
viii then we can Pecs upon ,hth the stat
repeal their republican legislation, but not
until then.
SPLITS IN THE PARTY.
| know there are those who seek TO stir up
| strife and party division. know there are men
| who seek alliance with other parties but I ask
these men II ey agree in the mai q with demo-
cratic principles what do they gain at this vital
hour by forming themselves into a third party
/ and creating division IN our orgauiZationf APP

administration Of public affairs. They believe
with us in taxation for public purposes. not

respects as TO the currency question if not in

election. We can come very near. IL we ] meet
| with reasonable success, coming into control of
the United States Senate. You can insure us a
| democratic executive and if after four years Of
| power you have any complaints to make of the
Democratic party because il has not accom-
plished all that you thought it ought to accom-
plish. then you have perfect right to turn
against and turn il out OF
power and not untn then. l know
| a great deal is said by our opponents about
an American policy. 1t is a plausible catch word
The American policy which we want maintained
in this country is that which gives American
| freemen their rights. We want administra-
ton which respects our rights abroad and
maintains them at home. We do not want an ad-
ministration that cries in breath that they fa
vor an American policy aud make your living as
bad as any foreign government that exists un-
der the face Of the sun. There are other ques
tions which will be discussed in the approach
ing campaign. do not propose to detain you
with any of them.
WHERE THE PARTY STANDS.
The Democratic party stands by its old faith
aud traditions, It is the party of the people 1t
is the party that can subserve the interests of
all classes. 1t is the party that embraces all
classes Of people in this country. It is organ
lied body. 1t exists in every state and every
territory. II is party that is in good fighting
trim and condition TO meet the enemy this
coming fall. l need not urge the party in this
great state of Alabama TO do
its duty. You have for many years performed
your duty faithfully and well. [Applause.l
And am here to give my tribute of respect TO
the gallant democracy of the grand old state of
u
from the general government too much. 1
have no sympathy with any party that wants
to convert this government into paternal one.
There are some things that the government can
do and there are some that It cannot do,
and ought not TO do. There are
some evils incident to our social and political
life which cannot be cured by legislation; there
are evils which cannot be reached, but must be
endured. There will be hard times, there will
be plenty of hard times; there will be times OF
prosperity; there will be times of disaster in
hfnu NEsara arnrfl ha rfrafa
markets. Legislation may aid us In the
ton cannot do ali. We must not
expect to run to congress every
time there Is bad crop. We must nots.expect
relief from every imaginable incident to great
republic like ours. Let us stand pysour old prin-
ciples OF government, and not run over TO new
and untried things. Let us hold fast to those
which have been tested. and live up to those
old principles.
THE CANDIDATE.
Il is not essential who the candidate of the
Democratic party may be. The great point is
TO achieve victory for the democratic princl-
pies in November next. LApplause. pledge
you the state OF New York l pledge New
York's electoral vote for the Democratic party
Great applause. / need not say TO
you how important that victory will be
to the future OF this country. AS the country
goes this fall in my judgment will its control
remain for many years. IL we are true to our
party we shall be true to our country. l have
no patience with that set Of men who are con
Stantly speaking OF nOu-partlSanSnlp. be-
lieve in an aggressive and courageous fight.
