or any of the minor causes that af- feet political success. The shadow of the great world wide panic, the indus trial and financial depression, low prices for all products, low wages or no wages for workingmen everywhere, despair for farmer and mechanic, terror and ruin for bankers and merchants, and at the bottom of all false tariff sys- tenn ruining in turn manufacturer and consumer and an unwise and fatally weakcurrency situation, ,hadGhrown over the whole nation resentment against the party which happened to be In power when the disaster came, Millions of democrats remained at home-hundreds of thousands in our own state-as 8 mute protest against the powerlessness of their president and their congress to prevent or protect them from these disasters.
 But does not this convention and the intense feeling manifested by those who attend it, and those who have sent their delegates here, tell the story that a change has come over the public mind; that it's fortunes are rising, and that it is quite worth the while to be in the democratic army, which al- ready has the assured and confident step of march toward victory?'
 In regard to the currency question he said:
 "I come to urge the party in Ohio to stand on the platform of 1892 on the money question; to let the currency remain as it now is and not to change our ground without full deliberation at national convention, and deliver ance from that body. come to urge that declaration for free coinage would be foolish, because 1t would be an inn potent and idle declaration. It would separate us from the national democ- racy. It would drive from our support thousands, hundreds of thousands of men who otherwise would act with us
 "A declaration in favor of free and unlimited coinage-16 to 1-made by this convention would have no practical effect, and it would mean an abandon ment and disclaimer of the splendid re- suits of your democratic administra- tion. You and I have possibly differed from MT. Cleveland at some time and in some things, as it was our right, our privilege, our duty to do, if we were conscientious in doing so; but taking him all and all he is the greatest states man and party leader of his time. His democracy, his honesty, his integrity and his continued attention to business which constitutes genius, have never been excelled, and in my opinion dem- ocratic success in 1892 was largely dne as democratic success in 1896 will also be largely due, to the character of our democratic president, and to the high plane upon which he has sought to place his party and his administration
 Do not understand me as suggest ing the candidacy of President Cleve- land for reelection. No such ques- ton is now before us. You have heard the republican war cry Their state ment that while both the tariff and the silver question will be discussed, neith- CT will be the issue in the sense of obscuring other questions: that the great paramount issue upon which +hA battles of both this year and next win be fought will be the record of the democratic party under President CiSN L1ldL lllG Will De whether it Is to be endorsed and it's policy continued or whether it shall be repudiated and it's policy ended"
