MR.. WARDS ADDRESS. -..
DelegaEe Pratt moved that af r. fSG
Ward, of Charleston, he invited to ex-
plain the purposes of the:organization.
He gave a clear and distinct statement
of the situation in substance as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen: You have called on me
to explain the purpose of this Conven'
ton, and in order to give that expla-
nation to the best of my understand
ing Of the matter it will be necessary
for me to make some Introductory re.
marks. Mr.. Ward then made a clear
logical and splendid statement of the
Democratic situation, State and nation
al, and got down to the League ano
said: It seemed to those who were al
the last meeting of the League thai
the industrial people were in the same
condition as the people of England. II
seemed that the time had come for the
industrial classes to be heard. We
have DO candidates. We have no right
to say that we will be victorious. We
believe that those who are claiming
everything are not backed up by the
farmers. What we want are laws In
the interest in the whole people. Il
there ever was a time when Conserva'
tism was required that time exists. Sc
far as fghtinganyone we have as much
right to fear those who want to be odl
friends as anyone else. We want men
who are sensible enough, who will look
at things from a reasonable and con-
scientious standpoint. Upon none does
the conflict fall so heavy as the indus
trial classes. More than four years age
Cleveland gave utterance to his tariff
reform message, but it fell like lead on
the Democracy. We had borne the
yoke of taxation so long that we did
not understand what it meant. To-day
that doctrine is the one on which We
have won. The Tariff Reform Clut
got to work. Its bureaus Of informa'
ton sent out statistics and all classes o.
information, and as result we have
sent back that same man who wrote
that message that fell like lead on the
Democracy. Almost, if not entirely, is
this revolution due to this tariff reform
club For four years this State has
been in the hands of the "Reform'
party. They have not kept all of theil
promises. Taxes are not reduced. They
have done imperfectly what they prom
ised to do. 1t is right that sensible
men should reason with themselves
and that is what we want to do. Moth
ing is more fallacious than to say that
our people are enemies to each other
What we want to do is to reason with
each other. We can extend our hane
to those who are said to be our enc
mics. We are friends and brothers an6
not enemies. We only want to tell the
Gods truth. When people are Dem
ocrats they can say what they wait ,te
about Democracy. If We affiliate with
people of questionable Democracy ther
We become subject to question. There
is nothing in our platform that is no
