the service Of the great special interests
which every where strive TO secure po1tl-
cal power.
FOR THEIR own ADVANTAGE.
OF the present politics OF that party il
may be truly said that they all tend TO the
Capitalization Of political power in the
Federal government and the Capitalization
of fealty in favored classes. Against both
tendencies we fight as against enemies OF
our freedom. As guardians Of that free
dom we plant ourselves upon the principal
that the necessities Of government are
the beginning, and the necessities
Of government are the ending OF
lust taxation. Whatever goes beyond
this increases the power Of government at
the expense Of theliberties of the people.
The government that deals with the citizen
at long range and through officials not
chosen by himself will become his master.
The government that is carried on beneath
his own eye by his own chosen servants
and within reach of his own regulating and
Furnishing arm; that government can be
kept his servant. Yet we have but recent
ly and barely escaped successful effort 70
strike down the government that stands
nearest the citizen and TO strip from the
people in the States that right preSerya-
tive Of all other rights; the rigAt Of
HOLDING THsIR OWN ELECTIONS.
or Of choosing their own representatives.
Such sir, are some OF the issues OF the
campaign on which we are about 10 enter.
They 90 TO the foundation of our liberty.
In this great contest your party has sum
mOned you to be it's leader.
-Four years ago in the mid-career or q
service that well deserved the highest
h0uors YOUR countrymen could beStOw, as
we feel sure that IL will receive the nigh
est euCOBiumS that history can award, you
were struck down because, as
Democrat, you could make no
terms with those who wished
70 plunder the peoples treasury or those
who sought 70 perpetuate the passions OF
civil strife. Your cOuutrymen will right
that wrong. They have seen an attempt
To turn the gratitude of great nation into
an eIectiOneering fund for political party
and service 10 that party in the conflicts of
peace, count for more than service TO the
country in the conflicts of war. They have
seen every power of the Federal admins
tratiOn passiOnately used TO destroy free
elections in the States, and seeing all this
they have lost no opportunity in tae past
Iour years 70
HONOR YOUR ADMINISTRATION,
and now, sir. we put into your hands the
commission of which we are bearers.
1t is the highest honor your party can be-
stow; it IS the greatest call to duty fellow
Democrats can make, but we believe we
can assure you that there are no weak,
weary or despondent Democrats in the
ranks of our party to-day, and with the
peOple's cause as our cause we doubt not
YOU will lead US 70 q victory in which the
principles of our party shall glOriously
triumph and the welfare OF our country
will be nightly promoted.
During Mr.. Wilson's address, Mrs.
Cleveland, who had been detained,
stroye to enter the hall unobServed, but
the audience caught sight OF her, aud
fairly went wild with enthusiasm.
In the very midst Of Mr.. Wilson's
speech three cheers were given for
Mrs. Cleveland and when voice from
the gallery proposed "three cheers for
Ruth" the enthusiasm reached such a
height that the chairman was obliged
momentarily 10 suspend.
Mr.. Cleveland's viSage darkened with
but even his frown was
powerleSs TO check the enthusiasm Of
American chivalry and il was fully a
minute before that enthusiasm exhaust
