tuent elements OF our sch eme OF pOpu-
lar government. Our sincerity can.
not bo doubted. In the beginning Of
the struggle we were not only bitterly
opposed by n great party Of avowed
enemies, but embarrassed by those ia
our ranks who had become infected
with the unwhOlcs0me atmosphere our
enemies had created. We hesitated not
moment boldly and encountered
both. We unified our party, not by
any surrender, but by an honest appeal
TO the Democratic sentiments and con-
science. We have never lowered our
standard. The Democratic party still
champions the cause which defeat
could not induce II TO surrender; which
no success, short Of complete ac.
complishment can tempt II TO neglect.
We invite tho Ntrlctest Gcrutiny OF our
conduct In dealing with It's subjects,
and We insist that our cause has been
open, fair and consistent.

they had succeeded. Coming down

factories had been closed, thousands OF

the benefits promised from this reform
are not apparent. The reciprocity

Cleveland, lamely llmps In the direc.

mand In the Rhode Island platform for
free raw material ought, II seemed 10
him, to be warmly seconded.
