After the convention had done its work
and was ready to adjourn, Representative
VIM. j. Bryan, of Nebraska, was intro
duced, and held the closest attention of the
convention throughout a two hours
speech. 1t was great speech
and did vast amount OF good,
especially in checking any slight
tendency among Democratic farmers and
others to take up with this third party
movement He declared that a third party
hurts the party that it is most like and that
the only hope Of redress of wrongs to the
laboring and farming classes lay in the
principles of the Democratic party. He
dwelt most upon an exposition Of the tariff
issue. 1t abounded in apt illustrations,
clinched by forceful and convincing argu-
ment. 1t was great speech and great
day for Taylor's Democracy.
