PRODUCTION to the Democrats OF the
Tenth ward, as on several occasions be
had had the honor and pleasure OF
meeting them face to face and talking
over matters which were of mutual
interest
"Ihe Issues of the Hour"
said he, concern both you and me. They
concern one as much es the other. This
is a government of the people, Of all the
people, and it is just as you choose to
make 1t. II you are virtuous, honest and
high in your aspirations for good govern
ment, Then your government will be
virtuous. honest and high in the con.
oeption Of duty The stream cannot rise
higher than its souics aud a govern
menr cannot be better than its creators
This IS Democratic doctrine, pure and
simple. and we believe Ia 1t implicitly
This Democratic party which l love and
which we all love, was born out of the
greatest of fundamental doctrines 1t
Was born TO fight against privilege and
70 maintsin the rights OF the people
against the oppression Of caste The
American people who formed the party
and who make this government knew
something Of despotic rule across the
sea. They came from lands where the
seed of liberty cannot flourish. Here
they planted those seeds which have
grown and fl urishtd and have produced
the magnificent fIuitage which we all
enjoy. The Democratic party has always
stood as the guardians of all that Is
valuable in our free institutions.
The Record Of the Party.
Power always tends to 20 from the
many to the few, even in such a land as
ours Way back in the early history Of
our laad, meu who were undoubtedly
honest in their convictions, believed
that the government could not succeed
# left in the hands Of all the people and
the Democratic party found itself op-
posed to ths Federal party, with It's
alien aud anti sedition laws, and there
was no hesitancy in the way In which
the party stood up and risked defeat to
repeal these iniquitous statutes. Again
the Democratic party risked defeat in its
efforts to defend the sacred rights Of the
people against KnoW N0tbingism aud
advocated tue principles OF liberty OF
conscience and creed 1t stood up for the
principle of the rights OF states; the
rights Of local self government; the
right Of one state TO Il axe its own laws

Washington. aud has ever been ready to
defend its flag 1t may have made mis-
takes, but it has ever adhered to the
cardinal pJints Of cur faith 1t has been de.

what the Party Believes.
Senator Gray spoke ably and st

Republican party had in not only retain.

thus taking from the pockets OF the
poor workinemsn, his hard earned
dollars to place them in the treasures Of

fight which the meagre majority in the
Senate made to repeal the Sherman

force bill, and to replace the Mckinley
bill with one which would benefit the
masses, not the classes. He showed how

A sapient Prediction.
In conclusion Senator Gray said "And
