II am informed that your city was

cause We are in this campaign atternDt-
4llB 10 revive the principles of Jefferson
ANA apply them TO the solutions of the
questions of today We claim our title
70 the name Democrat not only bv the
4act that large majority of the Dem
ocratlc party has indorsed the princi-
PES WAleh we advocate. but for the adj
uluonal reason that those PRINCIPLES
are IN harmony with the teachings Of
the father OF the Democratic party.
ana another reason why we feel that
we are uneal descendants of his in a
pOAucaI way, is that the names which
tney apply TO us are very similar to the
names applled to ) effersCn and his fol-
lowers They called Jefferson ain an

very similar to the word maniac. IF
there IS any difference I suppose it
would be that a maniac was q little

difference between those who advocate
s0-called honest money today and the
Democrats of 1884 is that the Demo
Gratis then had the courage to say what
they meant by honest money while the
new advocates of the so-called honest
money never try to tell the people what
ehey call honest money (Applause)
II have heard that in some of the
cities of Indiana the employers have no

not open UP business if I was elected.
NOW, my friends, if you will look at
the charters granted to these corp0ra-
