sion to your will. You are not re-
sponsible to me but to the people
for your action. ! am here to say
that | will so to my home, to the
walks of life, ready at all times to
respond to the party call. | am
thankful for your thinking of me.
l have nothing to say to those who
fought me, except that / am their
friend. [ believe the heart of
young Democracy feels with me.
Two years hence | shall enter the
political field. | was not born early
enough to be shot at Shiloh, but in
1884 and in 1883 [ was old enough
to work for Cleveland, Stevenson,
and Turney. Forget that l wasde-
feated; turn your faces to the morn
ing. Ihave no heart sore; I go with
no frown, but a smile for my wife
and children, looking to the future
1t is not a defeat, but an escape
from a great responsibility. Bate
